Much better costumes, and no blackface.

They should make her register as a sex offender. I’m serious.

What a vile woman.
And she needs to have her wages garnished for the rest of her life as compensation for the damage she did.

She’s trash. Horrible.

My ideal pick is Letitia Wright. Not only is she great but it will really anoy internet fuckwits.

Again - when are these cop-callers going to be held responsible? The neighbor LIED TO THE POLICE when she denied making the call, and it would be so easy to trace the phone record.

State law in Florida is that parking illegally in a handicapped space should result in a $500 fine. And responsible disability advocates do things like create and use this app for reporting illegal parking to fine people who break that law: http://www.tbo.com/news/politics/app-targets-illegal-parking-in-handicapped-spa…

Someone please, please tell me there is recourse when the sheriff refuses to arrest someone. This is not his call to make. There has to be some justice here because this is not acceptable. And anyone who would shoot another man over a parking space is a danger to the public and especially to black people.

That is just brutal. I only knew some of that and it is leaving me in tears. It is a wonder humans are even still around with all the horrid stuff we have done and continue to do to each other. It is hideous.

I am not of Haitian descent. I am just an African-American that is learning about the world.

I highly, highly recommend everyone read The Black Jacobins, which is generally considered the best book about the Haitian Revolution. And I would also recommend the Revolutions podcast part on the Haitian Revolution. Not nearly enough people understand the fascinating and historical history of it and how the US…

As a Haitian-American, from the depths of my heart, thank you for writing this piece.

If the cops want better relationships with the community, it’s on them to do something about it. Complaining about books that discuss police brutality is not the path forward, especially since I would bet that most of these kids are already aware of police violence against people of color. These books will not be…

You’d think that getting kids to read would be a good thing. Occupies their time to do something, gasp, productive.

They should let her press charges against the 2 guys. That sounds like false imprisonment and possibly a sex crime. Since he/they(?) were fired for doing it, it clearly wasn’t in the course of their actual duties.

Fire Marshall Bill still burning shit down.

I’ve read some of the other stories since the Philadelphia Starbucks debacle. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FELLOW WHITE FOLK: BLACK PEOPLE DOING LEGAL THINGS, LIKE SLEEPING OR COOKING OR EXISTING, IS NOT ILLEGAL. STOP WITH THIS SHIT.

Slavery *was* a choice...

The airline gave her a later flight for FREE, so she would have ample time to figure something out.
