I saw similar issues in North Carolina; disorganization, turning away volunteers, no lawn signs/buttons/stickers, etc., the same few neighborhoods being canvassed repeatedly with bad voter data, while others were ignored. Lawn signs and bumper stickers might not sway other voters, but swag makes volunteers feel…

They can shoot you if you have a gun in an open carry state. They can shoot you if they “think” you have a gun. They can shoot you if you don’t have a gun and they feel “scared.” They can shoot you.

Whether or not he had a gun is irrelevant though, since North Carolina is an open carry state. But all of the recent events in the past few years clearly indicate that open carry is a law applicable for white people only. But god help you if you are a black person exercising your right to legally carry a gun in those…

It’s too bad the prime interface is terrible.

You might want to fix your comment by replacing “Black” with “Rapist.” Because last I checked, I as a Black woman don’t support rapists of any color. End of story. Fuck Parker, his rapist co-writer and people who support either of them simply because they’re Black. There’s plenty of amazing media and art coming from…

I, and many other Black women who enjoy supporting Black art and Black people, specifically don’t want to support this man because he’s a rapist, not because he’s Black, and now for the added reason that he made a great true story into a wildly historically inaccurate torture porn fest, complete with creepily added…

The one that got me the most angry was on The Steve Harvey Show when Parker tried to play himself off as the hero - he’s just getting people to pay attention to the rape epidemic because that is violence against women and if he has to rape women and use gratuitous rape scenes as a dramatic device to get people talking…

What you don’t see can’t hurt you?

A few reports from the scene (including a live report from wfmy apparently) say that it was in fact officer involved...a plainclothes officer who did not identify himself as such to the victim and then shot him after the victim didn’t comply with his orders.

strong contender for Burn Of the Year:

I hate all this “new definition” of consent crap. Sex without consent has always been rape, it’s just that people are becoming more willing to acknowledge that now.

Forgiveness is not owed, it’s earned. The concept of restorative justice implies that the transgressor has accepted they have erred, as you can see this gentleman does no believe that’s the case. If you want to make a habit of forgiving people who won’t even admit they’ve wronged you go right ahead , but don’t ask me…

A guy once told me how he had sex with a girl who changed her mind half way through and cried afterwards. He called it “bad sex” while I scrambled to pick my jaw up from the floor. He just thought it was an annoying incident, a nuisance. Needless to say I ghosted him and warned mutual friends about him. But I suspect…

I’m sorry, but his statement sounds so disingenuous. The fact that he keeps emphasizing his innocence instead of focusing on the tragedy of this woman’s suicide is just frustrating. By referring to himself as a “father of daughters” and a “person of faith,” he continues to depict a morally superior version of himself,…

which is a play on Leroy Jenkins, the amazing trollage that can be seen here.It’s confusing for a second, but necessary to watch.
