It’s wasn’t the dreadlocks, it was your roommate’s hygiene. Locs should be washed as often as everybody else’s hairstyle. Maybe white hair doesn’t retain the loc if they do that like black hair naturally would, that’s not the point.

Wait...are you saying a dreaded white person would get to keep a job where a dreaded black person wouldn’t get to keep the same job?

This is tough, though. I had a white roommate once with dreads and they f’n stink, man. For this case, however, they should argue religious liberty, since true dreadlocks are part of the Rastafari belief...I’m sure she’d be allowed to keep them.

Hi, all. Last night, I finally got around to reading a New Yorker article that came out about a month ago. Initially, it seems only tangentially related, but if you read the entire piece (highly, highly suggest), it is extremely apposite.

And I’m ‘nilla as fuck.

All white people are inherently afraid of black people. Black folks don’t know how hateful and mean spirited even the ‘nicest’white girls can be. I knew a white girl once who told cops a black boy in her Sunday school class raped her. He didn’t. He got 15 years.

Your assuming that everyone accused is guilty. That’s an issue. That assumption, coupled with inadequate training by the university administration to investigate these felonies has and will lead to injustices.

Switching out classes and separating the accused from the accuser should be standard practice. If it were just limited to this, then I don’t think anyone would have a problem how’s its handled. The issue is that it doesn’t stop at that, and often leads to expulsion, which can ruin a innocent kids life without proper…

I think a big part of the challenge with these cases is the lack of experience and skill that university administrators and investigators have with sexual assault cases. In too many cases, they simply don’t have the knowledge or ability to (1) design a system that fairly investigates and adjudicates sexual assault…

There is probably truth to this. However, it doesn’t change the fact that she murdered an unarmed man and needs to be held accountable for it. This is good news.

Yep

Dude, this is Gawker. There’s no place for facts and logic around here.

Lol! Did you even look at those statistics? Over 80% in 2015 were classified as attack in progress. Then scroll through “other”. Literally every single one of them was an armed person threatening a person or the police.

Jezebel definition of “Trolls”: Anyone who disagrees.

This is 2016 and facts have no place here! Only wild speculation and riots!

Riots. Not protests. These are riots.

Nearly knocked over? I think it’s safe to say he was knocked over.

I’m as skeptical and wary of police as many people, but don’t try to tell me that in this hypersensitive time, in which a police force led by an African American chief in a strong African American city, is going to start shit where there is no shit, and cause all the bad press that goes along with it. I don’t believe…

A protestor killed another protestor. Yeah, it’s probably the police’s fault though.
