Jenelle’s cycle is: hook up with new dude, complain how Barbara is keeping Jace from her, say she’ll go to court for custody when new dude encourages it, she and new dude begin to have problems and all talk of regaining custody of Jace is dropped. Rinse, repeat.

I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right.

Does she honestly think it makes a lick of difference to rape survivers if the person who assaulted them was “nice” to other people?!?

What the hell is wrong with every person in convicted rapist, Brock Turner’s life?

“Rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists.”

Some people are referring to him as Cassius Clay in a weird hipstery attempt to act like they followed his life. Like, “I knew him before he joined the Nation Of Islam.” But they are so, so dumb.

it’s basically “they were so good we didnt even CARE that they were black!!” its so awful

the amount of people ive seen calling him cassius clay is staggering and so fucked up

Thank you for this article every single time a black legend has died this year I hear that transcended race statement and it makes me angry because you didn’t hear anybody say that about Bowie so why is constantly being said about Prince or Ali? Its an insult to a black person to hear that their hero transcended race…

Really great article, Kara. I get what they’re trying to say but to me when someone writes or says “transcended race” it just feels like they’re saying “we really liked them even though they were black” or “good thing they escaped that whole being black thing otherwise we wouldn’t have paid them any attention at all.”

That’s the worst part; his family thinks this is a cute, precocious stunt because they don’t give a shit about his POC classmates either.

...Logan told CBS 6 on Friday. “The First Amendment says I can wear my hat.”

It’s not actually understandable. If my kid raped someone I would not be on their side. I would be angry and devastated and sure I’d fucked up majorly.

I don't see it as understandable at all. Unless you place no value on women or see them as less than human. In which case, this is probably where the kid gets it from.

Good parents know when to tell their children, “NO”.

No problem with him being on his kid’s side. Kind of a huge problem with him ISSUING A STATEMENT when his kid just got a criminally lenient sentence. Just shut the fuck up, let your kid serve his six months, and be grateful the world still revolves around privileged white guys.

My parents love me. They will love me no matter what. They would come visit me in jail. They would not defend me raping somebody.

“and that he will “never be his happy go lucky self [sic]” again.”

Um, if you are convincing a black out drunk girl to have sex with you, you are not having sex with someone that has properly consented.

“...I’m sure he could have readily convinced a blackout drunk girl to have sex with him...”
