I have to agree somewhat with the officer though when he stated that it was more plausible he was grabbed by the neck as opposed to “choked” since she didn’t even call for medical attention

Hm. I am liberal and I fully support trans acceptance, but when someone is a convicted murderer (and not convicted in the sense of a kangaroo court) I gusss I don’t really have much empathy for their mental health. If she’s tried to kill herself, I can really only shrug my shoulders there. She willingly took another…

To create a legally binding, individual document after vetting a person’s record to make sure they are not letting murderers out (for example) and then getting it to the president for approval, yes. But you go ahead and be condescending anyway.

Really? Katrina lacks the personal stakes of the OJ trial? Only if you believe racialized violence, natural disasters, and ambivalence toward the suffering of people of color have less substantial impacts on people’s lives than the racist criminal justice system and domestic violence. I think losing homes, losing…

Not many people know this but Milwaukee actually comes from an old Ojibwe word meaning “Yeah, but what about Black on Black crime?”

Yeah, that was a record-scratch moment for me. Preeeeety sure that racist assholes aren’t just a flyover state problem.

Oh, look, white feminism again. Let’s take a moment while black people are lying dead in the streets at the hands of the police. Let’s take a moment to look at more important things, like workplace inequality. Where women police officers can’t gun niggas down in cold blood like male police officers can. That’s not…

Ray Tensing and Michael Slager were both white men.

This is why as a black woman, i sometimes look at white women and say I have nothing in common with these people aside from a vagina.

This is not the time for this. This was the same sick argument used when Liang killed Akai Gurley in New York, why are we pressing charges against the Asian cop when black people get killed by white cops all the time with no consequence. This argument makes me sick, at the end of the day, claiming that women should…

Wambach did the interview as part of the press tour for her autobiography. I’m guessing that Gross used information disclosed in the book. I haven’t read it, I could be wrong.

This is certainly true but, no matter where you work, and especially when you work with the public, one should treat every customer respectfully. I’m not asking for every Safeway employee to have a smile on their face (remember when that was actually a policy?!) but at least keep the rolling eyes, muttering under…

This. This this this this this. I want to like this and support it, but hip hop is such a culturally specific phenomenon I’m just not here for people trying it on like an outfit. Emenim? Sure. He grew up poor in Detroit. It’s not about race. But this woman? I just can’t get down with it.

‘Beyond race’ makes me itchy out of the gate, but this time it’s really important we keep this finding in context. The report mentions BPD does most of their police work (laugh) in an area populated by mostly black amd brown people; these sexual assault victims are likely to be in that same demographic.

I think you need to understand the controlling aspects of her relationship with Kanye. This is a man who literally threw out her entire wardrobe and replaced it with clothes that were to his standard when they first started dating.

Yeah, she obviously believes him when he says the clothes he picks out for her are flattering...

But isn’t that ultimately the most male of all? He doesn’t even have to be aware that he’s insulting a young woman - forcibly interrupting her, publicly diminishing her achievement, and comparing her unfavorably to another woman - because he’s just an oblivious male genius speaking truth to power. Blech

She has stockholm’s syndrome.

we’re on the verge of a major tipping point regarding the willingness of celebrities to spill their stockpiles of Swift-related tea.

Eh, as the article says, she’s not the one who promised to be faithful to Azalea. She wasn’t cheating, he was. No need for remorse on her part.
