It is almost like the police officers and their families should have the MOST empathy for the BLM position (worrying about a loved one coming home safely) but no. This is a rotten statement by a rotten man representing a rotten position. I reeeeeeally hope that some decent officers come out in support of the position…

Isn't it ironic that the only people allowed to feel emotions (and act on them, nonetheless!!) are those supposed to be the bravest and strongest and most honorable among us?

Agreed, police officers have a high-risk job and are compensated accordingly in both pay and pensions. Meanwhile black people can be killed for having a tail light that doesn’t work.

That’s exactly right! Yes, being the spouse or family member of a cop would be hard but THAT PERSON CHOSE TO BE A COP. They know they have a dangerous job, they signed up for it!

To be grown up men who are hired to protect the public regardless of their opinion they are very sensitive and emotional. As a woman I always heard that was a bad trait so I’m confused.

Right. Like, cops and their families VOLUNTARILY place themselves in that position. They are PAID in exchange for going to work. When officers are killed or wounded in the line of duty, they and/or their families receive insurance proceeds meant to compensate them for their sacrifice.

They look like whiny babies.

Their families need to speak up too, since they probably hear the uncensored bullshit these cops (“good” and bad) are spouting.

It boggles the mind, doesn’t it? We’re asked to consider their perspective, but the ones who’ve chosen law enforcement as their profession are stubbornly myopic!

Hey, those cops are putting their lives on the line to protect their communities! They shouldn’t have to put up with reasonable demands to respect black people!

For fucks sake. I am trying very hard to relate to law enforcement perspective, but I am quite tired of being told to think about how their families feel not knowing if their loved ones will come back after work, and the stress that creates. It amazes me that they demand this while failing to understand how black…

As fair and inclusive as Mr. Obama crafted this speech to be, ever the unifier, he will be destroyed tomorrow by the usual right wing racists for dividing the country by simply stating proven facts. Fuck them. I have said this ad nauseum, but thank you Mr. president for refusing to lower and debase yourself to the…

It’s definitely harassment and it’s fucking obsession as well. He is completely and utterly obsessed with Amber Rose and Taylor Swift. This should be a red flag for his wife.

Thank you. Just because it’s art doesn’t mean it can’t contribute to rape culture. It’s harassment, and it’s a prime example of taking ownership of another person’s body for profit.

I don’t know why people continue to give Kanye a pass. He’s a disgusting misogynist (proven by his constant rants and his music) and I’m sorry but depicting a woman whose made it clear she wants nothing to do with you naked in your music video is called harassment. If Kanye were some random not a famous rapper he’d…

I think the idea of it being a part of rape culture is the revenge porn nature of deciding that the bodies of people who’ve wronged you belong to you and are yours to expose at your own whim, with or without their consent. By doing this, Kanye is taking ownership of the bodies of others. Don’t write off that criticism…

“a video in which no one is being physically violated”

Who wants to tell him

I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about his wanting to say his piece at the convention and have a role in shaping the party platform as much as possible before he gets behind Hillary. This is not an issue of being unable to admit defeat—he knows as well as anyone else that his chances at this thing dried up…

No, his campaign was intended to bring a certain perspective on certain issues out of the political fringes and into mainstream public discourse; he was irrefutably successful in doing so.
