Uhhh, maybe. I think we have some clear examples- from the complaints of Brooklynites over Jay Z’s influence and investment in the Barclays center accelerating gentrification to even more aggressive acts like the twitter video of a restaurant manager shouting down black women in a restaurant for twerking in Houston-…

It looks like Cuomo is just going to keep his ass in office fighting off all of these claims of sexual harassment until the investigation into the allegations is concluded

This.

100% it’s about his raping and his wife beating. He and his people have done a pretty good job of stuffing his past down the cultural memory hole and he doesn’t want that back front and center.

But he is Jewish. So he may not know what its like to a person of color, he damn sure know what racism and bigotry means. 

she wanted her 15 minutes of fame. she got it. and because of that, even more stupid people are gorilla gluing shit to their shit filled heads.

Eh, The Root got a little too much mileage out of this shitshow to start moralizing at folks now. You weren’t turning away those clicks.  

Nope. I call out stupid when I see it.

It’s not a happy answer, but I think it’s a fair one. Congress is asking him to forgive up to $50k because they can’t get their act together to do ANYTHING, and he’s saying he won’t do that much because it isn’t in the power of the President’s hands to do that.

I just want to take a moment and acknowledge that both Diamonds Ford and Anthony Gantt are alive and well enough to be fighting this. I don’t know if it’s the jurisdiction or progress, but dealing with what seems like some clearly trumped up attempted murder of a law enforcement officer charges is so much better than…

It’s fair game. It was a bad solution that attacked the wrong problem.

“See, why can’t y’all stop talking about the crime bill and just be happy?”

The National Guard is part of the military. I assume that there’s a process required in removing people somewhat is akin a court martial.

“We know that particularly in African-American families, folks are talking to children about race and about discrimination and preparation for discrimination and things like that,” says Pahlke

And it is this kind of smart ass remark that fuels rhetoric that equates “defund the police” with “abolish the police”, which most of America - including POC - refuse to get behind. 

but NOW we have Mr Technocrat himself, Joe Biden

Which may explain why they are 1 - 29 in these lawsuits. That may put them in contention in the NFC East

Yep. The whole higher education system is completely broken. Helping out recent grads is great, but you’re just going to end up with the same problem when the next generation of college students graduates with massive debt. You really need to tackle both at the same time.

Exactly. The problem of loans being so easy to obtain and so difficult to wipe away is exactly what has fueled the skyrocketing cost of higher education in the first place, along with the preposterous notion that EVERYONE must seek a university degree. State university systems are just more megacorps that exist…

I paid my loans off like 8 years ago now and I’m all for debt forgiveness.
