This makes me happy. I was planning on going out to buy a computer but heard about the not one dime hashtag and decided not to. I doubt this will make a difference but at least people are paying attention.

You can see me?!?!?!
How cute that you conveniently skip over the picture of people protesting peacefully during that time. People like you love to selectively focus on the rioters and create this narrative in your head that EVERYONE in Ferguson is rioting for no good reason. I already explained to you why people are protesting yet once…
"strong armed robbery" as opposed to "wet noodle robbery"
Do you have any concept of what rioting is? People were not "rioting" prior to the decision. They were protesting, which is legal in our country, and people are protesting because the man got away with killing a black kid while he was dozens of feet away. People feel like justice was not served and that he should have…
The clerk said it wasn't him, and charges were never filed over stolen cigars. The person in the video also had different clothes on.
Are white people thugs who riot after their team wins? Because you hardly ever hear about that in the media, let alone anyone calling them thugs. It's almost as if, the vast majority of time, the word is saved for a certain context . . .
He ran for MO State Senate this year. He was supported in that run by Governor Jay Nixon, the same guy that refused to remove McCulloch from the Ferguson case. There's some dirty shit going on, and they really don't want people to know about it.
You clearly haven't been paying attention. Mike Brown is not the poster boy of anything. The Ferguson protests isn't just for him. It's for ALL the black people-men, women, transpeople-who have been unnecessarily killed by police forces.
Not in America, pal. Thug = black. Period.
People are only criminals after they get their day in court and it's decided by a jury of their peers. Unfortunately, we'll never have that decision one way or another. So for the rest of history, he isn't "this criminal", he's just "a suspect who was killed by police".
where/how exactly did i attack you? because i happen to be a non-straight person who doesn't find straight people jokes funny?
I'd have a hard time with the betrayal and humiliation of it all. They were supposed to be good friends and he decided to embarrass the shit out of her in front of her family and friends on a day of personal and professional triumph. Not to mention, whenever someone looks into her accreditations in the future, this…
It's like ... there always has to be some reason other than racism. Has to be. Even with something this obvious.
Daniel Handler's American.
Many people are racist. Including readers of the New York Times. It's that simple.
Privilege trumps basic humanity for those with power.
This was perfectly written and it's a shame, yet not surprising, that people are criticizing her response, and it's just another example of white people's* lack of empathy and compassion for black people and the racism we've dealt with in the past and present. Had she taken a different route and defended Daniel…
You actually question that Darren Wilson has received at least $500,000 in donations? That's been widely reported.
