What you wrote makes no logical sense. A family is insufferable because the father is a former politician who advocated unknown policies with which you are unfamiliar. This is not your view but you repeated it nonetheless. For what purpose? To what end? Don’t give credence to other people’s stupidity and ignorance. Do…

“But something about the situation also doesn’t sit well with me. I’m not sure I can put my finger on it.”

You are judging this family based on your assumptions? OK.

Maybe you can put your finger on your racism and Islamophobia?

What agenda? The agenda of protecting your child from discrimination and harassment? Are you really suggesting Ahmed’s father told Ahmed to build a clock and bring it to school and then somehow forced the school officials to interrogate Ahmed and detain him in police custody? You are really ridiculous.

What? The family is insufferable because the father is a former politician???? Ummm. No.

Some Asian women also have wavy/curly hair so the avatar choice of straight hair also excludes them. http://hubpages.com/style/Asians-w…

Rihanna is from Barbados, not Jamaica.

Tropical house is indeed a genre and it was very popular last year but Rihanna’s “Work” does not fall within this genre. Here is an example of a tropical house track:

So your whole point can be boiled down to: If you are a person of color in a red (or maybe even blue) state, then you can/should vote for a third party candidate without it having a negative effect on the overall outcome of the election AND in an attempt to swing the Democratic party’s platform to the left and show…

I responded to you because you sound foolish. You’re a lawyer, correct? Would you give a judge a print out of cases and say “hey, read these if you want to know my argument.” You would not. So why do you think other people are going to do the work for you here? Further, your statements thus far in this thread do not…

If you understand that, what point are YOU trying to make?

That’s your choice but I am at work so no, I don’t have time to not only read a lengthy article but also become a mind reader in attempting to discern what point you are trying to make. I am a lawyer so I believe in just stating your case clearly and concisely with citations for further reading. YOU have to do the…

You need to make your points and stop relying on lengthy articles and other commenters to do the work for you. People have lives; no one has time to read through multi-scroll articles to guess what point you are trying to make.

As people of color, we cannot achieve economic equality without the eradication of racism. That is the point you are missing.

By having one less vote for Hillary, you have a greater chance of a Trump presidency so YOU would be the person condemning us to a hellish existence. Please check yourself before you wreck yourself.

I do not understand the point you are attempting to make here. You seem to believe that if certain policies are adopted, economic equality will suddenly just apply to people of color when in fact America has a proven history of withholding from people of color economic equality. Economic policies such as the New Deal…

Are you being serious? I gave you the historical example of the New Deal but maybe you are not understanding the connection. American history has shown that just because economic justice is “available” does not make it available to all people. It’s great if jobs are offered that pay a living wage but if a person of…

Girl, are you being serious? You have to elect people and then hold them accountable. To get the foot off the neck, you have to make widespread change. You have to elect a progressive President, progressive Congressmen, progressive state and local representatives, progressive judges (in jurisdictions where judges are…

Le sigh. Are we talking about the 2016 US Presidential election or some election in the undetermined future? Let’s deal with the issue in front of us. You would rather see HRC loose than accept that your preferred candidate did not win. That’s your position as far as I can tell.
