black cops can be bad, too. when minority cops kill minority citizens, they're still the tool of the majority.

Holy Fuck you're right. Maybe he was running towards a loaded cannon. Better put 8 rounds in him just be sure.

If I cause a disturbance at my local public library, they can ban me from coming back without involving the police. If I harass women at my local public pool, they can ban me from coming back without involving the police. If I were a high school student and I came to school drunk, they could suspend me without…

Colleges aren't the criminal justice system. Much in the same way that, without involving the police, an employer can fire an employee for touching another employee in an unwanted physical manner; institutions of higher learning are also capable of doing the same. I have no idea why you aren't able to discern the…

no but i am an idiot, that's like, totally fine. but you are really aggressively angry about it.

"Actually, when I was being a weird internet dick, I felt cool as a cucumber"

i mean i can't really take you seriously either considering your username is a disney channel show.

You make so many excellent points in this piece Jia, but this one stands out;

pretty much.

Your answer is exactly the problem I'm having. I asked an honest, sincere question. Your reaction was to insult me, while giving a thoughtful response. However, another person had a completely different answer and encouraged the question and gave an equally thoughtful response. Two different people, two highly…

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

Actually, I do. I happen to believe that even stupid (putting aside the idea that "stupid" is even an appropriate descriptor of these cases) people deserve and are entitled in this country to due process and other civil liberties.

Not for nothing, none of that is relevant to whether it is legal or moral that the police killed him. Luckily our legal system has evolved beyond your bronze-aged mentality.

It's great to see this inevitable showdown: young black men who play in the NFL and conservative white men, the NFL's target demographic. Nice to see Hawkins representing his side well.

This is like expecting applause every time you successfully wipe your ass. Set the bar a little higher bub.

On Deadspin, which this isn't

I think you're confusing "hero" and "victim."

Of all of the really stupid comments in the grays that I read because I hate myself, I want to single this one out because I think it's truly a monumental achievement in tone-deafness to imagine that young black men are being more detrimentally affected by sympathetic Deadspin articles than by being MURDERED.

Albert doesn't need the approval of anyone within any race to post thoughts on a situation. Anyone can tell Albert he's awesome or a fuckin idiot. But the idea he shouldn't even write it because you feel that, as a white man, your opinion on racial topics isn't properly valued by your black friends is fuckin stupid.
