Have you ever followed a soccer game outside the US? Reporters wait outside the locker rooms in a so called interview zone were they have plenty of time and opportunity to talk to the players. There are also on field interviews right after the game for tv stations before the players enter their locker rooms. That’s…

Yes, but the rules are different.

No person of the opposite gender should be allowed in the locker room.

Look, I know we all want to rush to judgment here but I’m guessing that, very reasonably, the man asked what those women were there for and they told him that they were there to cover a professional football team and he, quite rightfully, had to check if the Jaguars qualified.

Sadly, that would only show disparate impact, not discriminatory intent, and recent cases often have required discriminatory intent.

And I’m here to say, “fuck you for assuming that the people are the train are so racist that they threw a group of black people off the train for no reason whatsoever.”

I take it most of you are too young to remember, but this is exactly like when Trayvon Martin’s parents copyrighted his name and began selling hoodies and coffee mugs. The only difference would be that here some women were kicked off a tour bus for being obnoxiously drunk whereas Trayvon lost the fight he started.

Luck probably overreacted due to the fact that he had his son in his Week 2 DraftKings lineup.

I guess my question would then be, what would be the definition of “trust?” What would that entail that both simultaneously protects those that would potentially be falsely accused but also takes accusations seriously and investigates them fully?

The latter.

I’m glad this article came out, a lot of what’s written about is part of the education we get as men of color. Keep your distance and try not to scare white women.

Many prosecutors fall into the trap of letting their ego get ahead of the course of justice, and can’t bring themselves to drop a case even when it’s clear something is wrong. There have been so many examples of cases being pursued long after the prosecutors should have known they were wrong that you would be…

“better off” is a very subjective phrase, and I’m loathe to rank one group’s problems against another’s.

I thought the article was about the racial issues underlying the false accusations of rape made against black men, like the first several paragraphs... But then a few sentences later, it’s just a retelling of two black women falsely accusing white men of rape... Did I miss something, or is this just all the f over the…

I’m 27 and still afraid to call my friends’ parents by their first names. I think my brain is still refusing to accept that I am an adult now and we are all adults now and I’m allowed to talk to grown-ups and I’m 27 and not 17 and I don’t have to make awkward small talk about how sixth form is going. I’m also old…

Southerner here. So yeah it’s Ms. This and Mr. That or Sir or Ma’am. That’s just the way it is. Not creepy at all.

See, I thought spades was a white thing. We would always just play dominoes on 40 oz. Fridays at my apartment in school. If I would have known that shit we would have had two tables going- spades and dominoes. Learn something new everyday.

I’m white. I learned spades at age 6. I will run some spades regardless of location/race of the participants. And then, yes, I will call you a bitch. This is not a race thing. This is a spades thing.

I grew up playing spades but am now forced to play ‘euchre’ thanks to my wife’s midwest childhood.
