And this is what I’m sitting here thinking. Investigation? Please get ready to investigate me, because I’m going to listen to my kids and FIND WHOEVER WAS THERE. And then I’mma tear their asses up. Please dial 911 as soon as you see me, because I am not stopping until fully restrained.

YES! Phew, thank you.

SOOOOOO I had always heard stories about this old-ass (now deceased, RIP) partner at my firm. Just how he ate the “free food” that showed up after meetings and stuff. I have a rule: If I don’t see it get put down, I don’t eat it. I hadn’t seen this salad get put down, so I continued through the kitchen area to the…

I spent a very uncomfortable Holiday Outing with members of a similarly small team that happened to be HR... The assistant kept doing hip bumps and ... what was the song that was popular the summer before...? Whatever it was, it was a white female rapper and had an OK hook, but this bitch from HR kept rapping it to me…

Born and raised in Alabama, now on my second trip through Ohio and... yeah. These Ohioans like to think that the South is some openly, horribly racist place, and they are always shocked when I tell them the first time I was openly called “n*gger” was in their backyard.

The prosecutor fell down on the f-ing job, then. If s/he’d charged trafficking, they’d’ve easily been convicted of trafficking, based on the definition.

...How is this not trafficking?

I had something similar occur just after I graduated college. I visited the ER with chest pain, coughing with phlegm, and an excruciatingly high off-and-on fever. No matter how much acetaminophen, NyQuil, etc., I downed, I couldn’t stay within a normal temp range and then my diaphragm started to ache. So I took myself…

So you took that long look in the mirror, eh? Because (1) there are no spelling errors in my post yet here you are “Nothing LEGAL (emphasis mine) is being done.” And as I said, (2) I read this article, so WTF are you on about now?

Y’all new to the game MFers make me tired. R Kelly has been chasing pubescent girls since the mid-90s and ONLY recently has he figured out how to play the age-of-consent game.

Again, gross, but ADULTS. This is the second time I’ve seen this comparison and, while I’m no fan of Hefner’s, he’s not pursuing and grooming pubescent girls, FFS.

There is also the added issue of the girls being black. Hypersexualized, “fast” black girls who are perceived to be older and less innocent than their white counterparts. As far as too many people are concerned, these girls pursued him, or, at best did not run fast enough or hard enough to avoid their rapes.

How is what I said “watered down”? There is a fundamental difference between seeking out teenaged girls to groom into sexual relationships, and seeking out similarly aged women whom you later go on to abuse. Both are bad and illegal; however one is demonstrably worse.

There were two parts:

It really isn’t. Specifically seeking out CHILDREN - teenaged girls - for grooming, etc., is worse than victimizing a fellow adult. Both are terrible, but picking vulnerable children is a whole different level of wrong.

Girl, YES. I posted a similar sentiment above. How, after the MULTIPLE REPORTS AND VIDEOS of R. Kelly literally trolling high school hangouts and peeing on underage girls, over two decades, were you confused? JFC... People are way too stupid and credulous these days. GD.

Worse. R. Kelly’s illegal and disgusting antics have been well-known for nearly 20 GD years, whereas Chris Brown has been around for what? Less than a decade? They are both horrible people, but Chris Brown isn’t trolling high schools to find his victims, whereas R. Kelly clearly is.

...These reactions confuse me. I thought it was a long-accepted fact that, if you were Black in the U.S., and there were no recent immigrants in your bloodline, there would be a significant proportion of European ancestry present. And I get that “family lore” was one way to redirect that attention away from features…

This has been infuriating me since I read her “statement”. It didn’t just happen. You, and a group of your friends decided, when your first plans didn’t go off, that you were going to go around an terrorize black people. And you succeeded, and stole a bunch of kids’ childhoods for some racist bullshit you probably…

No. The rule with friends and family is simple: If you have it to give, give it with no expectation. If you don’t have it, or are truly unwilling, don’t go through the bullshit of charging interest, just fucking say no.
