This! Jo Ann is an absolute badass, she doesn’t back down when she’s on the right side of justice, and having her on City Council for the 4+ years is going to be one the best things to happen in Portland politics in history - especially since we’re not even 100 years removed from this:

Lewis defended himself by saying it was unfortunate that his comment about shooting black people “is being colored as a racial thing.”
Jo Ann Hardesty is the best thing to happen to Portland! She’s been around forever, and I’m so glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves.
I remember all the people blindly defending Ralph Nader, calling him a consumer advocate back in 2000. I feel like asking all these assholes, looking at you Michael Moore and Bill Maher, what the fuck has he done for anyone since his vanity campaign threw the election to George Bush? Really can you Nader ass kissers…
Considering Duke has all the tools necessary to win a title, and the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, and the Warriors are back at full strength, and both the Red Sox and Yankees have solid rosters, we’re looking at potentially the most insufferable set of champions in a very long time.
Troll, S.T.F.U.
Because the black male experience is not the universal black experience, but thanks for asking about mine. It’s not insulting it’s assuming that black men and black women’s experience are the same.
As a black woman who has traveled throughout Asia, I respectfully disagree that the article you linked provided a comprehensive of the black experience in Japan. I went to Tokyo for business. I wasn’t concerned about whether Japanese men would date me. I needed them to listen to me and respect my decisions. Compared…
She’s tired of having to respond this bullshit. I hear more stories about her correcting reporters and the media in general, having it always being bought up when i had nothing to do with her winning.
Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun that spent most of 2016 spouting bile at a female parliament member Renho because she once had Taiwanese nationality, was quick to claim Naomi Osaka as “Japanese-Japanese.” Keep in mind the same newspaper once ran an op-ed praising apartheid. But will Japan’s right-wing noise machine…
Nope. That’s why it’s so easy for the facts to gets distorted. He was internship coordinator for the CBCF at the time and she was an intern.
The timeline is kind of screwy, but I gather it went like this:
I don’t think Jane Doe is lying (I’m not blindly believing, but I obviously have no reason to think it’s not true), but there is very little information regarding what Sheila Jackson Lee or even her staff knew about the assault. If any of them knew the specifics and didn’t take proper action, then yes, they should…
That was what was so nuts about that wide-eyed ESPN article. Here’s the answer for how Dillashaw was able to “safely” drop 25-30 lbs. for the fight: he wasn’t. Because there is no way. You’d think this was the first time we’ve seen this scenario play out, rather than years and years of evidence watching this exact…
You did not win this fight. I am happy to accept defeat, but I did not lose.
The guy beat Rihanna senseless when this woman was 14. She may not even be that familiar with who he is and thought he was just some random baller in the club. It is never anybody’s fault in any way shape or form for being raped or abused and I will also have sympathy for those that are.
Don’t you think that this sentiment is belittling to others who follow pop culture and hip hop/rap culture? There tends to be a crowd here that seems to be proud to not know certain things because they’re “old” but honestly it just seems ignorant. If you were interested in understanding parts of the article you…
The child flouted the cop’s authority, the penalty for which is often death. You have to treat cops very carefully, like wild animals; the slightest provocation can trigger homicidal rage.
I now have a loop of the bodycam footage running through my head as I get ready for work. As such, I’m trying to determine the point at which there was anything that even remotely resembled a foot chase. These fuckers literally rolled up in their squad, ran to where they were told he was, and emptied their fucking…
