I have a feeling he was trying to keep things cool so as not to ruin the proposal story. At this point I hope they sue and get enough money to have the wedding of their dreams and still have enough left over to buy a decent starter home.

As momentarily satisfactory as it would be..

No not a bitch but maybe privileged, a POC can't have their first or even 10th reaction be to tell someone to fuck off.

Nah, you’re right. But I think if you’re in that situation and your loved one is literally trying to propose to you and you just want to go on with your day, you might comply thinking “fuck it, at least if I do what they ask they’ll go away”.

Also, if you’re going to the trouble of accusing someone of stealing, do all your fucking investigative work in one go instead of going back and forth and basically acting like you don’t know what the fuck your doing.. Once is (generally) suspicion, three and four times is fucking racism.

Yeah, this is where the “we’re not profiling!” angle stops holding up. (I mean, it never held up, but still.) If you’re badgering Black folks for stolen property and a white person with them says “Check my shit” and you refuse, you’re racist as a motherfucker.

If someone stole a shirt, most likely it was a white person to begin with. 

“I felt humiliated, especially after one of my white friends made a point of asking them to check her bag for the T-shirt, but they refused to do so,”

Retraining?  Nope.  Fire everyone from the head down.  Then hire new people who aren’t racist and train them. 

I’m sorry, but that’s a cop out. If it’s a respected guideline, then shouldn’t the people most inclined to fornicate with the flag actually... respect the guideline? These are the same people, after all, who seize any opportunity to announce that someone is disrespecting the flag. Don’t think “under God” belongs in…

Don’t get me started on the bikinis.

It is in DC. It’s attached to a $100 fine. Obviously, it isn’t enforced, but it’s on the books as a crime.

Somehow the code always goes unheeded. They’ll badmouth Kap while simultaneously having their raggedy-ass flags hanging out in the rain, at night, always on the car door, etc.

And violates the Flag Code, at least in the District of Columbia.

Yes, but suggesting you’re going to have an impactful conversation about addiction in that scenario is more than generous.

Yes, nothing says impactful conversation like a drunk person pressuring a bartender to take a shot with em.  Or maybe the bartender doesn’t want to talk about an addiction that likely caused harm in their life in some way. 

Or I could express myself in the way best for me, and you could worry about what works best for you.

I think one of the intended effects of the pin is to start a conversation about addiction

Do want you want with your hair, but never set that shit on fire in public.

Holy shit. When Dictionary.Com comes for your shit, you know you are fucked.
