I definitely heard “niggers”, not “knackers” or anything else. Two whole g’s in the middle lol. Ole girl needs to go.

I’ve been on Twitter a long time and yesterday late morning/afternoon was the wildest I’d ever seen it. The rush to be first to announce what happened to Kobe’s helicopter was ridiculous. Paid, professional grown ass journalists, who you’d assume would know better, were throwing out hot takes that were on the level of…

Whew. Some of these comments are pure trash.

I came here thinking that there would be folks talking about his best plays or games aaaannnnd these threads are insane.  Terrible tragedy I hope he made up with his parents.

White folks have already started in with the “complicated legacy” shit. Yes the same people that make excuses for all the rotten shit white folks do are choosing today to shit on Kobe. To all the white women and men trying this shit not today and on second thought not ever again after 11/8/2016. When you mother…

I may be screaming into the void here but I need to let this out.

I understand Kobe has a complicated legacy — he is going to be celebrated for his basketball accomplishments by some, crucified for the Colorado incident by others — so if people don’t want to feel overtly melancholy about Kobe, that’s their decision. But four other people lost their lives including two children, so I…

His 13-year-old daughter died in the crash too. While you guys take victory laps, make sure you at least spare a moment for the loss of a child’s life.

The first thing I thought of was when he raped that woman in Colorado. She was not able to push forward with her testimony because of all of the threats against her.  Nobody cared about her welfare, only that of their sports idol.

This only applies to type A personalities. And they already like stress, they thrive on it and seek it out. Not all of us are competitive over-achievers, and those of us who aren’t are usually completely useless at dealing with stress, so we need ways to deal with stress. Far more than those who like stress needs it,…

Totally unhelpful article.

I feel 30 years older over these last 3 years.

I love the people like, “Oh, you’re gonna MAKE me vote for Trump.” For sure, my dude, guess I’ll just support all of the same policies and still watch you vote for Trump.

It bothers me so much that she tried to deflect all the criticism with “Just be kind!” It’s such a chicken shit defense that doesn’t reckon at all with the criticism she received. “Oh, you’re mad about me, whose celebrity is inextricably linked with her sexuality, hanging out with a dude who pissed all over gay…

Ellen, GWB tried to put an anti-LGBT amendment in the Constitution because he was antsy about not getting a second term and needed to fire up the base. As in, he literally believed you and your wife weren’t entitled to the rights he has, which laid the foundation for Trump to win now.

Always with the passive voice, too: “his life is ruined”. Who did the ruining? He did, of course, but we can’t admit that.

See also: On occasions when the “good man” is actually busted for what he’s done, the story often shifts to making the man the real victim in the situation, his life tragically ruined, his career sadly damaged. 

This is kind of what I expect a good leader to do. And I actually respect the fact that they haven’t publicly said what he did. I think that’s the professional and correct approach.
