The details in the article make you realize the story is even worse than the headline implies. She was IN HER OWN FRONT YARD (and maybe on the sidewalk in front of her house too), and she’s part of the only black family on the street. So this guy not only likely knew who she was, or at least could have easily deduced…

I don’t think I’ve ever read a sentence that neatly summarizes the white suburban American mindset as this one. Trapped in their own homes, constantly spying on the neighbor next door, always miserable despite having everything going their way. 

regardless of Lawshe’s intentions, the incident was “still racism,” and “this was not a mistake.”

According to the link in the article community members were trying to make reports to the police but because those reports werent “police incident reports” they didn’t investigate. Which is basically saying “we dont care enough to look into the safety of the people we supposedly serve and protect because they didnt…

Wow you are just way too ready to trust the inept bumblers of the KCPD. Smug and dumb is a great look for you, sir. What if I told you it was well within the bounds of duty for the KCPD to follow up on the “rumors” you keep alluding to? You’d no doubt find some other lame excuse for why the cops were unable to do…

Show your work. The level of supposed knowledge you have of this whole situation leads me to believe you’re full of shit. How do you know nothing was on social media about this? How could you even know that? 

The reports were only unfounded because these shit police officers didn’t investigate the reports they received.

Thank you. She runs from her heritage and has always done so. She doesn’t get that no matter what she calls herself, the white folk still talk about her the minute she leaves the room, just like they do US. 

Exactly. Hit dogs holler and all that. She grew up first generation, from well to do parents who immigrated here with not insignificant options and resources. Private schools, well to do sectors, the whole thing. She hasn’t been Nimrata in a very long time, to pretend she didn’t chameleon(like many PoC do) out of…

Not sure why Nikki Haley is getting all mad. There’s not a single solitary lie in the statement that Ms. Haley is whitewashing her name so she can appeal to the racist assholes she plays beard for.

My question is why is The Root using the National Review?

Quiet as kept, it’s a not uncommon practice amongst some Indian immigrants/Indian Americans to either adopt an “American sounding name”, shorten a given name to an “acceptable” nickname (“Kal Penn”) or use prominent initials when dealing with non-Indians “who probably can’t pronounce my real name” is the given answer.

Where did she lie? She didn’t. When it’s probably true, you get mad.

Twice divorced man makes a living convincing like minded men that it’s all women’s fault? You don’t say.

Jeezuz this guy is a walking mid-life crisis.

Not all Black men are worthy of defense and this motherfucker does nothing but profit on misogynoir. He’s a disgusting pig. We could do less with articles about him but the idea that trashing him is some issue with Black feminism is wrong. He belongs in the damn sewer.

Bitch, please! Everyone, including your employer, saw what you did and who you are. I wouldn’t give Bari Weiss a jar of urine to douse herself if she were on fire so I am certainly not going to listen to her podcast to find that she didn’t ask the simple question: he asked you to put your dog on a leash, why didn’t…

This woman is an attention whore. All she needed to do following the charges being dropped and having been put on blast once was to shut the fuck up, make a REAL apology and fade into the background.

I immediately write off anyone who goes on about “the Blacks” rather than refer to Black people or any person of color as a person. They’re the same ones who insist it is being overly “politically correct” to refer to enslaved people rather than slaves. They will do anything to erase the humanity of these people.

Lawd!
