If they won't fine the racist cop callers, then PAY the black targets of these calls. $250 per false racist call, and $1000 if a gun was drawn.

I am in an interracial marriage and wholeheartedly disagree. When commisserating with similar couples, it seems many of their choices were informed by blatantly white supremacist notions. If you close your eyes you’d swear you’re listening to a kkk member.

Maybe it’s just the circles I was in (NJ/Philly) but I never knew anybody who stanned for Morris Chestnut like that. After the Stella movie, all I kept hearing is how “foine” and “chocolate” Diggs was. I distinctly remember this because I wasn’t impressed because I’m West Indian and he totally butchered the accent

Nah... Taye Diggs was set up to become the next Denzel, with black female stans everywhere. Then he made a series of cringeworthy statements about black women, and married the whitest woman he could find. I remember my friends cancelling him in droves... mostly about his tone deaf comments though.

I don’t give a rat’s ass who he dates, but he is most definitely going down the Taye Diggs path of career suicide. You can’t try to make your living doing super black movies, which require black female dollars to succeed, but live a life that shows that you automatically nix black women as potential partners.

I live in those parts. Hit me up sometime for drinks if you want... it’s boring as hell out here.

Adding to the list (actual statements from my brothers and male friends):

I just got a Lowes credit card and will not be going to trashass Home Depot any time soon. They should have offered him a settlement for his trouble and the option to come back if he wanted.  

U.S. American would work and is very easy to say.

If I kill someone, should my punishment be losing my job?

Nope nope nope.   That music is a BLATANT, OBVIOUS ripoff, and only somebody who is completely tone deaf can’t hear that.

I’m tired of firing being the only, rarely used option for violent cops. Even the few times they do get fired, they immediately get rehired by a neighboring township, no matter how hideous their conduct was before.

Notice this little white girl didn’t say a word in defense of her black and hispanic friends when her racist cop father terrorized them.  But screamed like a banshee when she got put in the car.

Exceptional. Except they aren’t really reading either. But we viewers can and will.

It’s time for brands to go back to being depersonalized concepts with a fictional logo or mascot. Most people aren’t constituted to represent some huge concept with and for their entire lives.

Why should we be forced to choose one over the other? Fuck them both.

Not true. You are confusing light skinned with biracial.

The woman is living and breathing, in her million dollar home. Yet you consider her lynched, as if there is ANY relationship to her losing a damn job over her racist animus to embattled black people who were killed for no other reason than white hatred.

I should also add that my attorney who put the deal together was black and female. She’s outstanding, but doesn’t do litigation. That is a much smaller, nuanced area and most regular real estate attorneys Don’t litigate... they’re mostly about contracts and due diligence.

Not in my county. She is going to advise on my case though. I’m usually the first to court black professionals, as I am one myself - however in this instance the financial stakes are too high to take a risk on a litigator of any color that isn’t acquainted with the insular world of these judges on a regular basis.
