It’s always worthy enough. But I can understand not feeling safe.

Because women are 50% of the population. Duh.

dead and buried

I had a Bank of America account for a long time - I opened it on my 18th birthday at the bank branch around the corner from my house. They used to play fast and loose with them overdraft fees. I finally kicked them when, after being a great customer for nearly 10 years with only one previous overdraft, they charged me…

Sooooo I was wondering if I was going crazy because I have literally never heard of Starfire being considered black. She’s not even from Earth, but in the comics she has never been drawn as an explicitly dark-skinned woman.

Yes. Weddings are SO overrated.

Me either. Then I would have to listen to his stupid voice and all of his lies, prevarications, dishonesty, fabrications, inaccuracies, deceit, falsehoods, misrepresentations, and deceptions for HOURS every day. Without throwing the machine at him, yelling “you lie!” or punching him in his face. NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Legitimate question, and a lot of media outlets do this, so it’s honestly not directed only at The Root or Lawrence.

Of course it’s a valid comparison.

This little girl is gorgeous - look at all that hair! She looks like a doll :)

It’s really not that simple. We’d say that it’s not right for someone to kidnap someone off the street and imprison them against their will, but that’s basically what happens when you put someone in prison for committing crimes. As someone said earlier, if you say that you go down a slope where no state actions are…

Look at these poor babies. A thirteen-year-old should never have to say he wasn’t sure if he’d live or die.

No, because race and gender are intersectional, and the system works against women (especially black women) as well. If a black man gets acquitted of sexual assault against a black woman it’s more likely because the system is set up to gaslight and ignore women.

And the thing is, The Hate U Give actually presents a relatively nuanced portrayal of the police. One of the secondary characters who functions as a father figure for Starr is a police officer, and through Starr’s internal monologue and this character’s own actions and dialogue with Starr, they do unearth both sides…

So they were 19-20 in this video, and I went to look up how old Solange was, and I didn’t know we were the same age! She was 13.

If it is, I’m bad too. I can’t stand her either.

“a place where intellectuals engage in pursuits that are disconnected from the practical concerns of everyday life”

It actually doesn’t look like Oregon uses battery as a criminal charge. They just use assault, and they have different degrees of assault (first through fourth) to demarcate different levels of the assault itself.

I wonder what motivated Deb Wallace to recuse herself. Was she pressured? Because if someone were to suggest that I couldn’t be unbiased in a case involving a racial slur against a black person, I would suggest right back that they couldn’t be unbiased in a case where a white person was the defendant. The knife cuts…

This was my guess as well. In addition to not being self-made, she’s not even a billionnaire yet. And even if she was, why would she be the cover story? I fully believe that someone paid a lot for this.
