Sounds like you have a bright future as a racist bank teller ahead of you, assuming for absolutely no reason that this woman isn’t the account holder, even after reading an article that says she’s both the founder and the current president of the organization.

I’m more pessimistic than even you are. I think if clubhouse actually gets the userbase it wants, it’s guaranteed that it’ll be used to organize the next Qanon and proudboy attacks in real time. Like reddit/twitter/facebook before it, it’ll become a hub of white supremacy while the admins talk about how much they…

This is why you talk to people you supposedly want to help before you make suggestions, and you ask them what would improve their lives. If you notice something like them not eating healthily, you ask them why they make the choices they currently make. Of course, this involves having respect for the people you’re…

Had to go back and check the dates, and you’re correct. Nobody in America was cancelling events before February 29th when the conference started.  Around the time it ended, they would have been muttering that maybe it wasn’t a great idea, but by then, it would have been too late.

Wish I could find the subject matter funny as some apparently do.  What he got away for so long just makes me feel physically ill.

True, but not reason not to do what we can. Things will never be perfect, but they can get better.

Nah, fixing the system to stop it from re-traumatizing victims has to come first. You don’t get to say you’re open to suggestions for improving it in the future, but insist that the victims need to go through it now anyway, even though you don’t have any ideas or plans. You have it backwards.

Did a search for “Richard Jefferson apology” and it turns out he already had to publicly apologize to the Knicks front office for a joke that fell flat just 3 months ago where people didn’t realize he was joking.

This is some BS. Create a hypothesis of a district wide smelling session out of thin air, and then when challenged, remind people about the need for proof. That’s not how any of this works. Everything you pull out of your rear isn’t true until someone proves otherwise.

I don’t know if he’s got a real chance or not, but I’m glad to see serious challenges being put up everywhere.

I can’t wait until Mayo Pete falls behind because he has no black support and all his people insist it’s because Black people are homophobic, because not only can they not see racism, they can’t see Black people complaining about racism.

I like how you invented a position for him out of thin air and then went on to criticize him for that position that you’ve become “sure” was real because another non-mind reader agreed with you. It’s not. If he’s ever supported someone/something you disagree with, why not criticize him for that instead? Otherwise it…

I tell my white acquaintences/friends that they have a pass to say it, just so I can see which of them are so stupid/racist that they actually take me up on it.

Chrisette Michele’s problem was that her audience wasn’t varied or big enough that she could afford to piss off half of them.

The one thing that Shaun King is good at is self promotion. I was ambivalent about him early on, because he was using that platform to bring attention to people that needed it.

I did not and will not ask for anything from you. Be as angry as you want.

Yeah, but he’s also 23 right now, which means at the time when he was being warned he was what? 20? And already in debt to these people?

Simple.  There’s no relation between wealth and general intelligence.  Don’t believe the lie.  The wealthy don’t make better decisions, they’re just insured against the consequences of the bad ones.

And let’s be real.  The kind of person who robs old ladies in a casino bathroom has probably burned all bridges with a successful sibling long ago.  There’s a good chance that addiction factors in somewhere, and we know how that destroys family relationships.
