Lisa Mearkle proved that sex has nothing to do with letting cops off and dealing with the systematic racism of the police force in this country. Her being a wholesome looking white woman and Crutcher being a “big bad dude” will play in her favor in court so I feel even less optimistic that she will be charged. She…

You don’t even have to kneel. You can stand tall, even if you’re short. It’s all about where you stand, and what you stand for.

Or you changed the channel and then placed the remote more than 5 paces from the sofa?

would stop watching the NFL if players continued to use the national anthem to make statements of protest

Ah, so you’re this guy, huh?

No kidding. Sports *again*?!

Indeed, dreadlocks used to be culturally associated with African Americans but now are considered race neutral.

I don’t want to defend this officer in any way, but it sure is surprising the swiftness with which this action has been taken, how quick the condemnation and disavowels came from her own force. Wonder if her being a woman has anything to do with it. The thin blue (male) line.

in her defense, he may have had a book in that hand.

This is like Liang. She’s a woman so she gets sacrificed.

Yes. How “strange” that a black man, when confronted by a cop, would put his hands in the air. It couldn’t possibly be that he wanted to preemptively signal that he was unarmed, given that so many other black person-cop interactions turn deadly without provocation.

The longer they can “truthfully” admit they haven’t seen it, the easier it is for them to dodge questions.

Probably.

So the urinary habits of private citizens are fair game for legal intercession, but it’s uncool to discuss or oversee the potentially deadly actions of on-duty public servants? Got it.  

Also, an article of yours just ran with the title “I Now Pronounce These Two Allowed to Fuck” about Ciara and her fiancé...right after an article about a Black man dying in the street.

Then why did your colleague include that in her article, Sis?

Really bad time for a tangent. A black man was just murdered by the police.

Can we get more of this please? Like Jessie last week, other celebs, known personalities actually saying something. Using their platform to say something? Rather than just nod about how tragic it is?

I understand the thin blue line. I understand that cops think, “That coulda been me. Mistake made. Gotta support my brother.” But I’m a public school teacher. If I found out that a teacher was fucking a student, there’d be no way that my knee-jerk response would be, “Well...you have to understand that...” Give me a…

It’s like, she’s already beautiful, but being intelligent makes her even more beautiful. That picture just shows something else in her eyes that would not be there if she was just some vapid model. There is nothing less interesting than a beautiful person, and nothing else. And most of these girls are very…
