I’m not denying that it happens to blacks more often, but it is shown in the media far more often than any other scenario.

Yes, this! I have worked in healthcare for 13 years, been a nurse for ten. I have received training on how to resolve situations from verbally to safe take down maneuvers. In all those years, I’ve had to put my hands on a resident ONE TIME. It took five of us to take him down to the ground and we didn’t even mess up…

Yes! That is exactly what I thought! She could just not handle it that she couldn’t be the loudest voice or the expert or even relevant so she made it all about her. Imagine if she had put a fraction of that energy into being an ally...

I know :( He trusted me because I have long hair but mine is fine and straight and I had no idea what idea what I was talking about. I will be having him read your response!

My white girl opinion is that she just can’t deal with “only” being an ally. Obviously she has many, many ties to black people and culture BUT she’s white. She couldn’t handle it that she couldn’t be the expert or loudest voice or even valid. I think she just couldn’t get over the fact her opinion and view wasn’t…

There was recently an article about the beauty aisle changing because women shop for hair care products based on their needs, not ethnicity.

Thank you for sharing this! Turns out my husband is a 3b. Ever since he grew his hair out he’s been trying to figure out how to make it less frizzy. I guess my advice of brushing it into a man bun wasn’t so good...

Folks, don’t do this. If I can’t appeal to your better sides by pointing out this is stealing, then at least consider that most of these torrent sites operate to flood your computers and devices with malware. They don’t want to give you free stuff because they love you, they want to steal your info.

She is mentally ill and had no reasonable access to healthcare.... Yes, let’s arrest her instead of implement and support the programs that could have prevented this. God forbid we support/care for the mentally ill, teach people at an appropriate age about their bodies, sex, consent, pregnancy prevention and offer…

Oh, I know, I completely agree. I was just sharing how strict they can be in our state. They can also work with people by allowing them to make different payment arrangements, but that means taking a day off work, getting to the court house, however far it is, even if you don’t have a car, ect, ect. So as long as you…

Well that’s kinda scary. And weird. So essentially my husband’s horrid ex can at least attempt to force him to pay many more times what he pays in child support to send an adult to college? But wealthy parents that are married could refuse to pay to send their children and no one could force them? Don’t get me wrong,…

They do in our state. Parents will be issued show causes fairly early, they can jailed and have licences suspended.

Can they really be forced to pay half the college expenses? School’s around me can run 40k a year. I’ll do anything I can to help my children get a higher education but I don’t foresee having that much money just lying around.

No, you should totally have an argument over it with strangers on the internet! That’ll show that reckless youth!

I really hope that wouldn’t happen to you but cops seem to be pretty ignorant about anyone different. Would it be possible for you to put something in your wallet, a card maybe, explaining your diagnosis and to contact your social worker or lawyer if you were in trouble? Sending good vibes your way.

Good job missing the point!

Do you have family or a friend that could advocate for you if that were to happen?

THANK YOU for not linking to The Blaze article! That particular writer is especially vile. He props himself up as a good Christian man just telling it like it is and everything he writes is so hateful. To women, gays, trans people, black people. He is so gross and infuriating. I can’t wait for the skeletons to…

Hahaha, I thought Torkelsons were those underwater rip off Smuffs things, I was confused

Hahaha, I thought Torkelsons
