“Instead of hurling the term “white privilege” around as an imprecise catch-all to describe everything from police brutality to Pepsi commercials, perhaps its use as a definable phrase will make people less resistant.”

I am not a fan of using the term “white privilege” because it seems to encourage the idea that some form of reparation is required when technically the “head start” began long before the discovery and arrival of people to America and the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and influences places other than America. Also, not…

Even the bears there are inappropriate

I know earnest does not work well here, but fucking good for him. Just a guy in the NFL who wants to do right by the kids and who calls other guys out for charging them — even if on behalf of a charity that these kids have no responsibility to support? Hell yeah.

Really? A person couldn’t take 5 minutes to read the whole article? You seem to have spent more time coming up with your self-righteous response rather understanding the context of the situation.

It is still not clear to the family how Malachi got his hands on the dangerous weapon. Stephens said that he got the gun from a friend who got it from someone else. Investigators are looking into finding out who originally had the gun and passed it to the friend, the news station notes.

Personally if she was murdered...do POC really care? She’s a judge...aren’t all judges and cops considered guilty of targeting blacks no matter what evidence is presented? It’s what I’ve seen on the news why the change now? Furthers the agenda...gotcha 

Or, you know, the ones where the victim can’t swim. I’m not sure what universe you live in, but as someone who very nearly drowned as a child without being in any way trapped, injured, or held under by another person, I can assure you it is eminently possible for people to drown without meeting any of your conditions,…

Yes. FFS yes! Drowning, on purpose, is a very real thing that happens way more than you realize. The human body does not have any magical anti-drowning ability. Swimming is a learned behavior, not an instinct. Even an experienced swimmer can drown in a big, strong, cold river like the Hudson. Strong current and…

New rule: Persons using the construction, “must of,” “should of,” “could of,” etc., in Internet comments may not denigrate the states of WV, TN, MS, AL, or AR in such comments.

This place is insane. People here immediately assume “white man” whenever there’s a shooting, they refuse to acknowledge that Islamic terrorism is a thing and when a black muslim woman is found dead, they immediately go for conspiracy theories even though everything points to a suicide.

Have. Must have.

look at the stat line on this woman, she just HAS to be a victim!

edgy and insensitive.

Nah. If that were even a possibility, Jezebel would have run with a big blaring headline like “Black Muslim Judge Totally, 100%, Completely , and Undoubtedly Killed By Racist Conservative Because Conservatives Are Racist”.

It’s weird. It seems like a lot of people are hoping that she was murdered. Such an odd thing to hope for.

I was simply pointing out that you were doing exactly what you told someone else not to do (making claims that you do not actually know are true).

Kind of a bummer that all the comments to this are “suicide? I guess that’s sad, but I really hope it turns out this human being’s tragedy will turn out to strengthen my own political narrative”.

There’s nobody in Alaska smart enough to pull off any conspiracies like that.

Let’s all jump to conclusions despite the lack of available evidence.
