To be clear, a disturbing trend on this site has been to go HAM on white women, period. I am willing to criticize anyone when they deserve it. But there is a reflexive “Fuck white women” stance here that a lot of folks have taken, and I will never be comfortable with it.

To the other commenters, where did they act like they cured inequality? They proved a point and people, like local news, took notice. That’s like step #1 of deconstructing white supremacy - using your privilege to not only acknowledge it exists but also right the wrongs it produced.

I see this divergence around what’s…

Wow, all these racist pieces of shit comes out of no where in these threads.

He’s not trying to debate with you in good faith.

yes, the same kind of wretched, lying human being who got Emmet Till killed.

She needs to go watch “Roots”, touch up her roots, and read The Root.

Treating a nine year old as some hypersexual savage who can’t be controlled because of the color of his skin is straight out of the Emmett Till playbook. Using fear of police to terrorize him is despicable. She might not be a real cop but might as…

That first embedded tweet has me dead to the bed. lol She in there mean-mugging like she ain’t scared AF, while the whole block has her all-the-way caught up. lol

I’m done with the cute hashtag nicknames. It’s putting a humorous spin on some truly fucking horrible people doing bad shit to innocent people.

.....I just can’t with these awful fucking monsters. Who the fuck accuses a kid who probably hasn’t even learned long division of sexual assault and calls the cops??? Bitch, he doesn’t even know what sex is, much less sexual assault you bleached orangutan!

I hate that I’m concerned about Mr Allen’s medical costs.

Yeah...except that if every grandparent, parent, sibling and significant other did their fucking job, it won’t change those structural issues that still plague the city and keeps people from falling into the vicious cycle of poverty. I guess that’s why they refer to it as a ‘cycle.’

And don’t forget that all sides like to throw salt on Rahm’s ass, too. I’m not going to say he doesn’t deserve some of that ish but scores of folks are hoping he fails ‘biggly.’

“If you carry a gun (I do), you cannot put yourself into situations like this, for this exact reason.”

The word “Urban” was used for the exact same reason the talking heads on the local news said “It was the urban vote that passed medical marijuana in Oklahoma” mere moments after it passed.

Just to clarify, this is not an excuse, it’s part of the problem. 

Looking at the body language of those two tubs-of-shit cops, it’s clear they are in way over their heads. They’re incredibly passive and have lost any authority they might’ve had. The fact that they immediately open fire after yelling “Gun” shows how unprepared they are to be police officers. They belong in jail.

I had an interesting thought yesterday and this article reminded me of it.

I was so fucking horrified when he got the Nobel prize for literature.

It really hurts when you find out the people you love hate you by default. That feeling was a big part of my feminist awakening.

I was thinking the same thing. And I felt a tiny bit horrible about it but yeah, if I was his attorney, I would have recommended a different look.
