I’m assuming the shooter probably said something to that effect, which makes the sheriff’s mistake repeating that to the media. Among other things of course.

For what it’s worth, the same anti-bias crime provisions that might be invoked if it turns out this was somehow racially motivated, might be applicable if sex or gender was the motivation.

I’m with you. The convo needs to be had. I don’t have an opinion on Tamika Mallory or Shaun King, but it needs to be discussed/known whether people are fighting for the cause, cash or clout. If I was Samaria Rice, or the family member of someone who died because of injustice, and I was feeling ignored by BLM or…

Cool. Now do the movement for free

What harm are they doing?

NFTs are currently the Bethesda horse armor from Oblivion.  Everyone thinks it’s ludicrous and it will not catch on.  Give it a couple of years and NFTs are going to be a major part of the business model of every AAA release.

It’s definitely a scheme, but not a pyramid scheme.

I've always imagined Graham as a plantation owner who says he beats his slaves because he cares so much for them.

In that Tubman quote it should be “saved more slaves” you wrote “said more slaves”. Don’t worry, so far The Root has censored all my posts despite being on topic and per the guidelines so I doubt this will get published (but saving this and many other previous screenshots of appropriate posts just in case) even though…

I like that they made sure we knew a woman was on the team, because people like Candace Owens don’t exist.

The Wire article does a good job of dressing down why all this is stuff is so hard to figure out. This isn’t a Weinstein problem where someone did something objectively wrong; these cases are complex because a lot of them are pretty subjective: The perpetrator likely didn’t even realize they did anything wrong. That’s…

Can’t wait until they post this on their twitter timeline to read the comments!

“We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing” 

Or they sat with their lawyers and did a risk assessment of admitting sexual misconduct vs. the potential for future lawsuits and decided that it would be ultimately more profitable to not find wrongdoing + institute a bunch of future practices meant to protect the CEO and other executives.

“We’ve determined that the company is not legally at risk, which is the only metric we care about.”

“I’ve looked into the accusations against me, and it turns out I did nothing wrong.”

Gotta love defacto corporate oligarchy. 

My God! Who could have seen the foxes finding the other fox completely innocent?!?! The chickens are now safe.

“We have conducted a full investigation of ourselves and have found no evidence of wrongdoing.”

“We concluded that there was no evidence that Laurent harassed, discriminated, or retaliated against the plaintiff,” reads part of a statement by the special committee, which is made up of three members of Riot Games’ board of directors.”

shocking!!!

These days, if Blanche decided that he missed Arizona and decided to double-date the Arizona Congress-critter that’s gone full white supremacist, it would surprise not a soul.
