This is how I see it as well. I understand how it can feel like salt in the wound for some, but documenting the disparity with real stories of part of what white privilege means is hugely important because the go-to response I've encountered at work/at thanksgiving/on Facebook/etc is "if Brown hadn't been XYZ, this…

Honestly, how do you know you're proof that it works? You don't know what would happen in a parallel universe in which people didn't physically discipline you.

People mistake my under one year old baby for at least 6 months older because of height.

"I'm a Portlander."

The duty to retreat is what people seem to be getting confused by in the comments. Maybe people are so accustomed to stories from stand your ground states that people don't realize that isn't standard.

Weren't the students he was harassing college students?

This guy is a lech and a creep and should have been fired long ago, but I am pleading with people who are comparing him to Sandusky to stop it.

I question the proclivities of anyone who sees sex in that license plate as opposed to a cannibalism joke.

@ShaunTKennedy: This has been on my mind lately because I was recently involved in hiring processes and - behind closed doors - two people said of our best candidate "she seems great, but someone young like her will probably have kids." To which I said: shut up and fucking hire her.

They didn't have much of a budget for that photo shoot.

@Admiral_Awesome: Wow. Are you from the future?

@Zeratul010: I hate to be a dick, but that's not going to work. See the case study known as "Minnesota" - our dear Tim Pawlenty won both of his elections with less than 50% of the vote because left-of-center voters were all like "I'm going with a third party" in larger numbers than the right-of-center voters were. …
