“based on their perceptions at the time”

I’ve been impressed by these kids from day one! As for the media’s lack of black representation? Same ole, same ole - same as it’s ever been: black suffering does not rise to the level of white suffering in our culture and I don’t see that changing any time soon. But let’s be honest here, there are black celebrities &…

And the investigation conveniently opened approximately three weeks after Bennett accused some police officers of threatening to blow his head off.

“... according to Acevedo, when a police officer confronted Bennett, he told them ‘Fuck you,’ and ‘You all must know who I am, and I could own this motherfucker. I’m going on the field whether you like it or not.’ The officer then walked away from Bennett.”

This story is so wild you could knock me over like I was a geriatric paraplegic security guard.

That article is the best example of white people acrobatics I have seen since... yesterday?

“Who’s the Al Sharpton for white women?”

Honestly, as a white woman, I was encultured to support my man-boy partner by making him feel strong and powerful, even though I knew deep down inside that he was a whiny little bitch. He had to be the hero of every story, and it was my job to bend and twist reality to match his expectations. Any time his faults and…

A lot of people with privilege see things like a toddler wrt to that privilege.

Couple that with a lack of knowledge of self and how to deal with negative emotions. America is trash at teaching its kids emotional intelligence. I had to teach myself about anger and it took 20 years.

It surely was! That kid was napping.

I know you’re in the UK, so there’s maybe some difference. But from the American white men I know and grew up around—including friends and former friends of the white male I married—they feel like they’re owed. A lot. This was the primary motivation former white male friends are no longer my friends. It doesn’t matter…

I think a healthy, mature man understands that he is not God — not merely of less-than-infinite power, but also that his wishes and wants are not in and of themselves Good Things That Totally Deserve To Happen. A mature man gets that other people matter too, roughly as much as he does, and he is willing to defer to…

Being opposed to bigotry makes you the REAL bigot. There you go.

I was at a grocery store on Saturday and had to go up to the customer service desk. The guy ahead of me had bought one of their cakes made for St. Patrick’s Day. He was going into them because the icing on the flag wasn’t orange enough for the Irish flag. He was pissed. The customer service guy just looked at them and…

A agree with you 90%. My reservation is the fall back that the DA is friends/buddies with the wypipo defense team; trying to make it easy for all sides to drop charges and forego any civil rights violations; trying to make it easy for Harris not to sue the city and state for the hassle; and making it easy for the…

Nope. Still trash.

Not to mention the cop who managed to fire his gun while sitting down. “I just think it was an accident that happened.” The minute some bozo lights one off, the language suddenly turns all passive and third-person. Guns “go off,” accidents “happen,” weapons “are discharged.” It’s like guns are sentient entities with…

his firearm went off

That outfit is fighting the good fight, but losing.
