Things around this joint weren’t a problem until a large enough mass of white folk started falling through the cracks and the internet meant it it couldn’t be papered over easily.

I remember taking that test sometime ago. I had a slight bias against white people. The only way anything will change is if white people speak up and do something and actual physical evidence. Black people have been dealing with Breathing while Black for centuries and trying to tell white people but noone believes us…

Im glad shes emphasising the fact that white people refuse to acknowledge reality but it still feels like emptying the ocean with a thimble

You means the seconds counter right?

Its important to not that he didn’t spent time in jail for killing four people it was for violating his probation and fleeing the country.

Ah, no. He was responsible for 4 deaths and received 6 years probation. He only went to prison for 2 years because he violated that probation immediately.

You mean your 3 year old niece is not reading Shakespeare and shitting gold yet? What the hell is wrong with your family??? But really though that is super messed up.

Just to keep score, these studies focus heavily on public schools, but the findings probably extend to private and charter schools as well.

A 3yo who has an accident? I expect accidents at that age!

Yeah, this poor bastard is going to get hung out to dry. I would bet dollars to doughnuts they are going to make an example out of him and the fact he’s a cop won’t matter a bit. A black guy named Mohamed shooting and killing a hot blonde haired white woman is going to end with ol’ Mohamed getting locked up under the…

No, it’s amazing that’s he’s being charged with a crime at all. Although considering the skin colors of the people involved, perhaps not so amazing.

Interesting that a black cop is going to jail for killing this woman, but the white cop who killed Philandro Castille isn’t. Nor are any of the other high profile murderers in blue from the last several years. And now, an unarmed black man in CA was killed in his own backyard because the police mistook his cell phone…

This is the mentality of white privilege: it doesn’t matter who I stepped on to get here, because I’m here and white, so I belong and no one else does.

“As I was checking out to purchase some hoodies, I was asked if I wanted to also purchase the jacket that I was wearing”

Because the targets of racism have a louder voice today then they did in the past so it’s harder for people who don’t care about the targets of racism to ignore them.

This looks like one of those things that every reviewer will be gushing over and it will be forgotten in a few months.

current American leadership also doesn’t give a shit about civil rights in Iran

No one anywhere claimed that the Russians cared about black people in the US or anywhere else. They are, as they often do, calling out American hypocrisy. That hypocrisy is real no matter how much you hate the messenger, and no matter how much you want a false good guy vs. bad guy dichotomy.
