Maybe it isn't that Jackie is the "wrong person to represent" and actually this article is a complete clusterfuck. .

From Slate:

SERIOUSLY!

*looks at article*

If cops cannot deal with criticism or percieved insults how exactly do they handle drug dealers, gangs, domestic violence calls, drive by shooters? They have no business being cops if they can't deal with words. St Louis cops and especially their union went to meltdown mode over 5 football players with their hands up.…

I wish I could just take her home and let her nap and eat wet food and play with feathered things and never have to be in front of another camera ever again for the rest of her little kitty life. Poor dear.

Exactly. It's not even excuses so much as it's just completely missing (or deliberately side-stepping) the core of the issues that drive men to kill women, individually or en masse.

The remarkable thing, to me, about this is the continuing dystopian fantasy about "women's privileges" maintained by these nutcases and far too many who don't pull out the guns, but complain privately. If you quiz them about what these "privileges" are, they'll tell you:

- women expect and get free everything
- women…

she was so right, showing that if they FUCKING GAVE A SHIT, they would be across the street helping kids.

My impression was that the hashtag isn't for educating black people about how nice the cops are to white people, but educating fellow white people on their own hypocrisy. It's a lot harder to say that these murdered black men were thugs and criminals who "got what they deserved" when white people admit to the same…

Yes. Fucking CSI.

I don't really like either of these people but I am puzzled by many people's expectations that entertainment stars are somehow required to comment on stuff like this. I really don't care if any of the people I follow weigh in on politics or social issues. It just isn't something I expect out of them.

I agree, though. Everyone loves black culture but nobody wants to actually BE black. It's fucking terrible.

I would like to know why I wasn't called for this one last year. It's really species-ist. I could pee on all of those things. If I had one of those pee funnel things that allow women to pee standing up, my peeing-on-things capabilities are almost limitless

I honestly think Warner Bros of all people has the right take on the debate

Kara, I know you're just being funny and not totally serious and using Tay Tay as a way to highlight something that's been talked about around here for awhile, White people with zero Black friends. I love you and this is just a little constructive criticism: Don't. Do. This. Again.

She's an awesome kid, and this is totally normal for an 11 year old. That said, if my Mom was present when I was giving an interview at age 11, that level of brattiness would NOT fly.

Now if only they would show the same level of outrage over corporate welfare. You fucked up your company AND cost millions of people their jobs. Here's $3 trillion for all the hard work you put into that.

He says $35,000 as if that amount of money split between three people, and including healthcare, is a lot. Is he unaware of how much healthcare costs? No family can survive on that alone.

My biggest problem with Movember isn't so much the people who can actually grow a beard, so much as the jackasses with six hairs on their face who act like they're growing any semblance of facial hair. You're not fooling anyone, guys.
