Really? But everyone cheered when those racists on the pier in Montgomery were beating that lone Black guy down and Black men rolled in to help him. But a lone Black woman...that’s a step too far? How utterly repulsive.

It wasn’t foolishness when we were talking about the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl.  No one at all was saying it was foolish for folks to help defend that man.  So why exactly is it suddenly foolishness to ask why folks didn’t help this woman?  What is it about her that’s so different in your mind?

Craft a major they can use and that will prepare them. Too many kids end up in the pros in various sports, play for just a few years (especially the majority of NFL recruits, where it’s particularly physically punishing) and then are out. I get the distinct impression that most of them end up broke with no real job…

Not mentioned in the story - Barbie was a little girl when Snoop used the phrase. Whoopi is probably right, as most people would have no idea on the origin of the word.

It’s a colloquialism of a colloquialism of a colloquialism. I highly doubt that anyone in the Black community is that offended by the slang term used in humorous and good faith by a middle aged white lady.

Funny that the guy (Snoop) who invented the phrase is doing national commercials all day long, but someone who repeats the phrase gets fired.

Turns out unsubstantiated allegations that never lead to any charges let alone convictions, especially where there is at least some indication that it was an attempt at extorting someone who was just a weird dude isn’t enough to cancel someone. 

Calling her “a Karen” really trivializes what she attempted to do (she has more in common with Carolyn Bryant), which was sic the police on this young man knowing DAMN WELL that there could have been a high probability that the situation could have escalated leaving Mr. Harmon either injured or dead but she continued…

It’s by design, not by accident. Make us relive trauma as often and as pubicly as possible for one simple reason- they hope we lash out, attack, get loud, or act in any way to justify further violence against us (whether committed by law enforcement or just the average racist citizen).

...which this definitely sounds like.

Brian Vollhardt resigned from his position after the incident after spending nearly 15 years in the Fresno United School District as a teacher and principal.

I think you could make a legitimate argument* for “greatest athlete ever,” without a gender modifier at all. Has anyone else ever dominated their sport like she has? If you look at the men’s side, there was always 2-3 players who were fighting for the #1 spot. Roger and Rafa (and eventually Novak), Agassi and Sampras,…

This is why I’m disappointed that journalists will write on subjects they don’t thoroughly research. I’m not a journalist and I researched it. I took a course on African American Influences on popular music and one of the professors pointed out that the magazine that claimed Elvis made the shoe shine comment was one…

I’m more of a fan than all of those artists than Elvis but those are very selective comments, especially considering what Little Richard- the TRUE King and originator of Rock & Roll- said about Elvis. But more importantly, what you’ve mostly done is illustrate that even those greats can be wrong about things-…

Which is simply further proof that police officers should never be called in general and especially when mental health crises are involved.

I’m sure they have cut hundreds of scholarship players over the years. But, have those two ever cut an entire team then bring over athletes from their former school (which also had losing seasons) and then fail to produce a winning season in one fell swoop? Not only that, but in doing all of those things she in turn…

The lesson here is if you’re going to come in and make waves by fucking over 19 kids who ALSO got “let go without warning” you had better fucking win.

Some people(I’m one of them) can eat the same thing day after day for a long period and not get sick of it. Post law school, I made grilled chicken and a veggie for lunch for a year straight. I would change the marinade, but I would meal prep on Sundays, and have that for the entire workweek. Never got sick of it, the…

If you are having grilled chicken and a veggie for two meals per day, and some light snacks, you will come close to 1200 calories and be perfectly fine(A breast and broccoli will run you around 390 calories). The protein in the chicken will help you to feel full, and the light snacks through the day helps fill in the…

I really need to ask all police unions the following question: What in your fucked up minds constitutes a “bad shooting?” I mean since every violent act that you take up against unarmed, sleeping and just plain minding their business black folks is justified, I really need to know what is too far for you trigger…
