She’s also wildly underrated in the sex symbol department. Nobody on tv is sexier.

Agreed to a point. But they mostly have problems getting people because it can be dangerous and doesn’t have a lot of upward mobility in pay. Plus, most of us doesn’t want to be the person handing tickets all day. I could never be a policeman because I wouldn’t be able to stand doing that day after day. And I’m…

Silver lining- he issued 100 executive orders, most worth about the paper they were written on. So what’s his plan after this first week- to lay back and do nothing? He’s already blown his wad.

Sorry, Lil Donny*, but do you remember when Obama nominated a SCOTUS pick? That’s the treatment yours is getting. Sorry, but we can’t vote today...we’ll have to just filibuster him a little while longer...like forever.

This is a perfect article. I wish there was one like it everyday.

And in the only pictures we have of him, you can see the joy in his eyes. He was obviously a playful, happy kid who probably thought he was being sweet to the counter lady.

The only thing to say is what the OP mentioned- she was part of millions of people who felt that way. They were all terrible, and they all shared guilt in every black life that was taken. Our history is of a White Supremacy from the beginning on.

For sure...but the lady one store over who would’ve lied to save the white murderers from being put in jail too was just as bad. The actual communication to her husband and BIL came from other people, probably with extra lies added on. The jury shows how willing all of the whites were to lie even in the face of a…

And also the banality of how we maintained white supremacy in this country. The typical person in the South believed in segregation even if he or she wasn’t terrible otherwise. Hell, half of the black people in the South didn’t want integration (which makes a lot more sense than white people not believing in it). They…

The worst racists when I was a kid, in a place that was super racist in general, were the grandmas. First, because you’ve never expecting a doting old grandma to have racist views. It seems wrong. But also because nobody, and I mean nobody, yells at a grandma. She can be the worst person in the world, and she’ll still…

The story is about one author who’s views changed on her. White people aren’t claiming she didn’t do anything wrong. She clearly lied on the stand in one of the most important trials in our history. She may not have caused Till to die directly, but she was an accessory and guilty of her horrid belief system.

You missed some of it, or it was only in the source article. She never told her brother in law or husband about Till. They heard it from a supposed eye witness. She’s responsible for the trial, and there’s no reason to accept her apologies, but she didn’t cause Till to be killed. She was a bystander until she lied in…

It’s funny because people get that when it fits their narrative. A murderer is a product of his or her environment. And we know for a fact that the people who killed Emmit Till over nothing were products of their environments. But if blaming the killer rather than the environment helps politically, people will ignore…

It’s a difficult situation. She didn’t tell anybody about it and didn’t want Till hurt. But then she lied on the stand and ruined any credibility she might have eventually earned.

Ok...but they already have trouble filling police forces as it is. What happens when everybody who gets affected by the job gets fired? And does one complaint mean firing? Because there’s also the issue of a huge number of complaints being false.

You’re still not in charge of when I fuck off or don’t. Whoever told you that you are lied to you.

I would agree, but it seems to happen to so many of them that it’s likely the profession rather than who goes into it. The problem is that their bad encounters usually aren’t with criminals. It’s the person who was going 72 in a 55 but doesn’t think it deserves a ticket, and either cries, yells, begs, or all of the…

Repeating something that’s wrong doesn’t make it true. Perhaps one day you’ll understand that.

Fair enough. I appreciate the way you let me know instead of being rude and calling me names. Thanks.

Are you giving me hugs? I don’t own any guns. I like most gun control ideas.
