This post could have been titled “When politics invade the courtroom, justice loses”.

Do you really see that identification as such a conscious choice, though? It’s not like she was passing for white. She was just existing. And yes, as she herself says, she got certain privileges out of being light-skinned (not to mention gorgeous), but I feel you’re assigning or implying a certain level of…

To the ghost in the grays suggesting that people should stay home and fix their own country, the US has, quite often, supplied some particularly evil humans with arms and training to kill their own, the very people currently running to the US to escape what the US did. Many others are running because the US cannot…

“I’m not used to being able to have some free time at all, and I know I said that this year I was ‘undateable’ at Wimbledon, but I’ve changed my mind,” [Venus] said. “Now that I have free time, I am accepting applications from, you know, all bachelors from above five foot tall. Smart but not smarter than me, has a job…

Yeah, no.

And the first thing out of her mouth when she last was talking about everyone else. Most high level athletes after a loss, talk about themselves needing to do better or train more and hold themselves accountable. Especially a sport like this when you don’t have teammates or partners. It’s all on you in the end in…

Here’s the problem... Her entire reaction is ass backwards. If Felix, an international celebrity in her own right, had only called her and given her secret encouraging words while remaining silent in public, what good is that? That sends the message that the person making the secret call just wants to be liked by you…

Uh, she’s LGBT herself.

She’s at risk of becoming the Azealia Banks of track. I hope she gets whatever help/therapy/counsel she needs before that happens.

Wow. What a hell of a 67 days Sha’Carri has had since winning the 100m qualifier in June. Lmao.

I wonder how the department would classify the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, or 3%ers, aside from co-workers.

“We know that those types of things are difficult to enforce when it comes to vaccine,” Janey said, according to the Boston Herald, adding that, “there’s a long history in this country of people needing to show their papers — whether we talking about this from the standpoint of, you know, as a way to, after — during…

Yes, this is basically the same bad comparison as the “yellow star” argument right wing and antivax nutjobs have been making.

I mean, tough shit. The vaccine is free. Everybody of every race, class and demographic is getting it. They’ve given 4 billion shots worldwide.

Yeah there was always that kid who wanted to add some sadism to every game. "If you drop the ball we get to bean you with it”. How about we just have a catch?

We had a family get together after my grandmothers passing and we raced in her honor. She was the official judge and finish line when she was with us. I’m in my 40's and had thought I was in good shape and I knew we’d do it one more time so I started prepping a week in advance. Lots of water, warm baths, the whole…

Where I grew up, that’s how the Latinos I knew settled things too. Although, the Latin and Black neighborhood intermingled a lot more due to proximity.

“who wouldn’t want to be known as the “fastest human (a)live”?”

It’s pretty much always a bad idea to throw good money after bad.

Corporations are so full of shit.
