The GOP can and has put people in the White house without the support of POC. Why would they care?

Because the GOP could still court conservative Uncle Tom Latinos even after Trump’s rapist and wall comments.

Absolutely, it’s about saving face. Do they really expect us to believe that this tape was the final straw? I mean, prior to that he was running a flawless campaign!

I'm a very proud Virginian. I'm proud to be Southern. I do my best to fight the stereotypes that often come along with these two things. Today I am not proud... I am reminded just why such stereotypes exist.

That is why respectability politics are bullshit, and we need to stop buying into them. This story would be just as egregious if he was a 20 year old high school drop out with multiple prior drug convictions. And all of those things would be said but they would also be irrelevant b/c they factored not one iota into…

Sadly, as a black female UVA student, I can't say I'm surprised by this. Racism all to often goes unchecked at this University. I've watched my fellow Black colleagues be pepper-sprayed at parties. I've had drunken white girls tell me to my face that I didn't deserve to be at the same party as them because of my skin…

Did they literally go from discovering his fake ID to throwing him to the ground and beating him over it? If so that's stunning. Can't say I'm surprised he was treated so brutally, but the idea of assaulting him over having a fake ID is still just mind-boggling.

I was underage for my entire time at UVA and got caught with a fake ID literally every weekend for four years. This story has me in a fucking rage. If anyone's reading this from Charlottesville with further info you want to get out, email me.

I broke this same law SO MANY times when I was under 21. I also got caught once. Do you know what happened to me? I got a small ticket, and the officer politely described the process I had to go through if I wanted to fight it in court. You can guess the color of my skin.

News like this should be shocking.

It's absurd that we have to qualify a brutal (edit, not killed) attack like this with "he didn't resist".

Cue the white assholes saying "He broke the law, what did he expect" in...3...2...1...

I want to be shocked but frankly I'm just saddened and fucking irate.

Wouldn't expect an Australian to understand football, or the US criminal justice system. Did you write this article while your were on the piss mate? Fuck off you wanker, no body gives a shit what you say. I could go into what an enormous ass wipe you would look like once the federal title IX investigation comes back…
