This is what separates the Eminems from the Chet Hazes. Eminem’s personality and style is not an act. He grew up around black people, respects black people (except for that one time where he wrote a diss song about black girls but he’s apologized for it) and has a genuine appreciation for hip-hop culture. This…

Dear Other White People,

LOOK WHO HAS BLACK “FRIENDS”!!!

Oh god his fake ebonics talk is so bad. SO BAD. We all know you didn’t talk that way growing up, Chet!

“I do have black friends that use it with me and I use it with them.”

He LITERALLY said “but I have a black friend”

Clearly NOT into it.

If a piece has worth simply because it attracts vitriolic comments, then there are some true artists hanging out on the Gawker/Jezebel forums. Some people can attract dozens, possibly even hundreds of angry, aggressive comments merely by writing a single-sentence post feigning extreme ignorance or insensitivity to the…

Someone had an attack of good taste.

What assault. She was never assaulted.

Nobody’s arguing that he doesn’t “have the right” to write this. Douchenozzles on Yik Yak “have the right” to be disgusting human beings. FUC “has the right” to argue that campus culture somehow contributed to Grace’s death, if they believe it to be true.

It will all depend on the jury they get. There are plenty of people who will do backflips in order to give a cop the benefit of the doubt.

It’s the result of systematic racism - my brain is trained to think of black men who get shot by police as either schlubby good-for-nothings who milk the social welfare system, or hooligans. This is because that’s how they’re almost universally portrayed by the media, and I’ve been steeped in that culture. When I…

It’s relevant because of the common narrative that surrounds men of color who are gunned down by police involves character assassination. You’re right, it doesn’t matter whether he was a career criminal or a decorated soldier... if he was white. Men of color are frequently, if not constantly, painted as irascible…

I know I’m going to get shit on for this but here goes. Instead of spending millions on cameras that you know cops are just going to turn off anyway, can we at least *start* by changing the law & enforcing existing laws so that we can get some of this scumbag cops into some nice cozy jail cells? Someone up-thread just…

Same white privilege.

You can believe that prison systems are generally corrupt institutions that are designed to incarcerate and make money off of minorities and the poor and also believe that some people deserve to be there. I’ve literally never hear anyone argue that “no one deserves to be in” prison. Yes, prisons need to be reformed.…

the recommendation was made because of Pistorius’s good behavior in prison
