Seems to me a bunch of young punks in gangs have been up to no good recently.

Bingo! The vast majority of shootings in this country are by criminal gangs up to no good and then some.

Poor kid :(

Good to hear someone take responsibility for raping a person and inappropriately assaulting another. She has a long road ahead, but it’s a nice apology.

I’m aware of that. The joke about eating his pet is 40 years stale and hackneyed to death though.

Well, dog is eaten in parts of Vietnam, China, the Philippines and some other countries. I ate dog in Hanoi. North Korea? Don’t know.

You might be talking about Vermont with that statement. Northerns talk a good game about being racially progressive, but where the rubber meets the road, there’s a lot more communication and camaraderie between blacks and whites in the South than in any other part of the country. One reason has to do with class- many…

I got the other side of the story from the news article in the link. Read it.

According to this article, the suspension was only for ONE FREAKIN’ DAY. Yes. ONE. WHOLE. DAY. Which is making me side eye the parents who are trying to make it sound like the kid was kicked out of this school for good.

We need to be of sterner stuff. I don’t want anybody to ever scroll past this. The problem isn’t Emmett Till’s picture. It’s the lack of others’ pictures (Sandy Hook). Images get things done because there are no abstractions.

Dude, you’re trolling more than I am, and my name couldn’t indicate “troll” any more than if it were “Troll von Troll McTrollington of the Clan Troll.”

Did you seriously get bent out of shape because someone made generalized critical statements about white women on another thread and then go on to make a derogatory blanket statement about atheists yourself?

I think no trigger warning is needed because this picture shows the reality of how race relations have been dealt with and the consequences of racism

I’m curious. Did what I wrote really hurt your feelings? Like an any real level?

You certainly didn’t say “some white women.” And you’re posting on a site that is 99% white women, so maybe you should find a site with commenters that you hate less?

I apologize. But please realize that my comment was made with complete indifference to whether or not you would be offended, because this is the internet.

No wonder White women are so entitled and oblivious yet they have the gall to complain about sexism but have no problem dishing out racism.

Emmett Till’s mother asked for those photos to be taken so the world could know what happened to her child. This goes beyond white people being “titillated” by dead black bodies. This is about remembering. This image was on the cover of magazines at a time when the men who did this could literally get away with…

I’m curious, does his race really matter here?
