This is the bullshit of abusers and racists: to say it’s a ‘joke’ to escape criticism of ugly assed behavior.

Even if it was a joke, I’m not sure why the victim has to attest to that. How would he know what the assaulter was thinking?

“...it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.”

You’ve been thinking about their fake ad for 20 years?

Thank you for following the guidelines for reporting on suicides, specifically by not sharing the method. I really appreciate it, and I know others do too.

How can babies and toddlers escape lol?

Fuck trump. He has the audacity to whine about what word was used in a story about the 1000+ kids HE kidnapped and lost?

The smokey eye bit wasn’t referring to her “lazy eye look.” I don’t wear makeup but I’m guessing it’s an actual look. The joke was that she uses ashes from facts as makeup. You know, because she’s a lying propagandist for the administration who routinely denies objective reality.

What is the ‘real’ story? That Ivanka Trump is somehow directly responsible for the immigration and refugee clusterfuck? That she could have singlehandedly, by the powers given to her by the American people...oh wait, that’s the other Trump. That she, as an advisor has the power to convince her father to change the…

I have a challenge - show me a portrayal of an Asian character on film or television, ever, who is actually Asian-born and was not created by an Asian person, who does not have an offensive accent.

Yea all this shit about russian hackers is complete lunacy. Y’all are the blue state equivalent of the people who were demanding to see Obama’s birth certificate.

Actions have consequences. Ms. Reid wrote exactly what she wanted to write about the groups and individuals she had contempt and disdain for. Now those chickens are coming home to roost. Let this be a lesson to all the other bigots out there: The internet always remembers!

Seriously. I think I would have been inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt if her immediate reaction was to own those posts and apologize, but the whole attempt to pretend they were “hacked” has done it for me.

Thank you! The way people are bending over backwards to defend her because she’s a black woman is absurd. It’s not like there aren’t any other women of color who haven’t made such gross statements/posts. And I don’t even think she should be fired or anything but if she was either white or a man, people here would want…

At this point, it could come out that she shot someone on Fifth Avenue and she wouldn’t lose her job. Why that is, I have no idea.

I’m in a different place than the bigger comments on this I think. For me, you should be held accountable for what you do, now that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for growth or that someone has to be perfect, but giving a platform to someone who has used their platform in the past to spread hate, conspiracy, and…

I know we’re supposed to lock arms and defend Reid, but she makes it fucking difficult when her blog posts are hateful shit, her excuses are flimsy or outright lies, and her apologies weak. There are better black women to defend and promote. MSNBC should bring back Melissa Harris-Perry, and give her the daily time…

This goes beyond years old blog posts.

She was cancelled to me after those first posts surfaced. It’s not like she was a 20 year-old college student who was uninformed. She was like 40 years old when she wrote all this shit. It just makes me feel like she’s playing a role on MSNBC for the sake of getting paid, but deep down inside she’s just as hateful as…

So she did write these ones? No “hacking”? No “FBI investigation”?
