The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Muhammad Ali in a unanimous decision in 1971,” Ron Tweel, who has represented Ali and his family since 1986, told NBC News. “There is no conviction from which a pardon is needed.”

First apologize to The Central Park Five, then to Barack Obama and then go fuck yourself. Note to Trump we aren’t Fox News viewers

Trump can’t even admit that he was wrong about calling for death sentences for the Central Park 5, but now he wants to play savior to unfairly convicted black people???

“We appreciate President Trump’s sentiment, but a pardon is unnecessary. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Muhammad Ali in a unanimous decision in 1971.”

Being good and taking the higher path merely enables abusers to continue to abuse, they have no interest in also following the moral path. You have to meet them on their terms, and defeat them on their terms too. Then you can think about the moral path, but not before.

Shit like this is why Michael’s article exists: give out enough passes for racist bullshit just to get through our lives and soon folks think racist = cross burning only.

Agreed. Who the fuck black person calls another person a nigger in a non-sarcastic, angry way? This is his version of saying “I have black friends so I cant be racist”

Oh please! Stfu. We all have problems—insulting people and hurling slurs at them doesn’t make problems go away, does it asshat? As a matter of fact, now you have MORE problems cuz your barbaric ignorance was caught on video and witnessed by other people. And give the ‘I’m African/black too’ bullshit a rest: you still…

Are you really sitting here pretending that the way Jez reported it is inaccurate? There are multiple ways to report something accurately, and it’s possible to do so while also avoiding certain methods that have been proven to increase suicide rates. If you don’t give a shit about other people’s mental health, just…

You said everything I was thinking.

This right here. The racist shitbags of the world will never be mollified by the moral behavior of good people. They actually use the morality of others as a weapon against them. There is nothing she can do that will change that asshole. Call a racist a racist and shame them all.

Pete Souza’s already gone through his files again —

Suicide is a contagion and needs to be handled very carefully by the media. I’m sure the linked article expands on that. Let Vox explain it to you.

Washington sounds like she’s been on the receiving end of abuse.

“My father is black. I’m African too,”...called Washington a “nigger” and sprayed her with Sriracha hot sauce.

She’s trying to be reasonable and respectable. That mindset will doom everyone, because being reasonable, respectable, and being “good” serve only the oppressor. It is depressing how many people still have the need to be that as internalized self-hate.

I won’t. He called a Black woman a nigger and threw hot sauce at her. He needs to go to jail. Fuck him.

I really wish people would leave Kelly Clarkson and her weight alone. Jesus.

Sure Khloe.
