M too! I was fascinated by the thread, but this makes it easier to read, for sure.

That’s so interesting! I heard a podcast episode of 99% Invisible a couple weeks ago that covered Sears kit homes and how the store also used to give out mortgages for customers to buy the land to put the house on. During the depression, they had to foreclose on a lot of homes and lost customers who never forgave…

Are you suggesting that if someone made you uncomfortable and felt threatened you wouldn't follow them into an elevator????

So basically the cop is wanting the Black woman to do his motherfucking job for free. Still looking for free labor I see.

You know it’s not about “following the rules” but enforcing them. It’s not about “fear of threatening behavior” because these self-appointed Barney Fifes first walk right up to people, engage them in conversation then stand around awaiting for the police to give them confirmation of their self-righteousness. These…

I’m in my 12th week of a thankfully successful pregnancy so far. We had to go through hell and back with IVF to get here and I’ve been a ball of nerves and anxiety until my ultrasound today. If god forbid, I had lost the baby, and I had to deal with this fuckstick on top of an already devastating miscarriage, I would…

Shitty Catholic, shitty man. Compassion and love is Christlike.

Yeah the rule is obviously “Don’t hold the door open for people you don’t know” and not “Physically deny entry to anyone even if they have a fob.”

Taco Bell is going to go so hard on this. Doritos Abuelos Tacos Motherfuckers!

I always say this is part of the reason Uber got so big. For years, blacks, men especially, have had hard times flagging down taxis. They either blatantly pass you buy or act like they don’t want to drive to your neighborhood. And Uber comes along, the transaction is nearly seamless, so for me personally, I’ve never…

If you literally CAN’T do your job then you’re in the wrong profession, my dude.

Two words: tide pods.

I knew a (particularly dumb) guy in high school that would basically snort anything when challenged (not even for money!), so I have no doubt people would have willingly eaten these.

Uh, I dunno. I think there are teens who would knowingly eat ash-laden cookies. I’m pretty sure that some that I went to high school with would have. I’m really old and I don’t think goth was really a thing then, but they were mostly the strange kids who dressed in black and hung out by the auditorium. They…

That was a terrifically illuminating article & interview. :)

Jeremiah is entitled to feel however he wants about this. I’m still stuck on the fact that Bodega Becky is suing his mother for defending him after Becky lashed out. Like why couldn’t she just take the L, learn her lesson, and call it a day? Oh, right, that’s why...

Good.

Following the meeting, Jeremiah told WABC-TV “I don’t forgive this woman, and she needs help.”

Smart little boy. Fuck the cult of forgiveness. He doesn’t have to forgive the bitch who tried to Emmett Till him.

Slightly off topic, but still plenty barf-worthy.
