A questions that I have for the Whites in this audience (this is not acceptance of Smith slapping Chris Rock, these are honest questions about the public's reaction to assault at large):

It wasn’t benign.

Also, what do you think is going to happen when Russia takes Ukraine? Do you think the sanctions are going to stop? This isn’t like Crimea, which happened before social media and to which Obama didn't respond. There are real, lasting repercussions that Putin isn't going to take lying down. He's already said that there…

“Because that would inevitably result in a shooting war between two nuclear powers, at which point there is an almost certain guarantee that nukes will be used.” - No, Biden doesn’t want to go to war after he left Afghanistan. Enrollment in the military has dropped significantly, and he knows the majority of the…

If you get your news from sites other than gizmodo you would know- we HAVE sent troops to Ukraine’s border nations, 7,000 so far, because in less than a month we WILL be at war. JFC, you ignorant, cowardly bastards know absolutely nothing. 

What part of the statement from the Department of Defense did you miss? Because that isn't going to happen.

Honest question: What would you have done if the police who murdered George Floyd started going after the girl filming the murder? “Better to not protest because letting the police murder a few people here, raping a few women there, and beating up 73 year old dementia patients is better than directly confronting…

You’re berating me, attempting to silence my warnings to women about to whom they give control of their bodies. Unless I’m edging in on your future victims, you shouldn’t have an issue with telling women that they have more agency is these situations. 

I watched both parts last night- it was very hard to get through, and I am so angry that Manson *WAS* very open about who he was/is and everyone ate it up. The 14 year old girl on Phil Donahue proclaiming her devotion...Lord help me that I found myself siding with the parents from the 90's: The man is Evil and he…

Exactly.  Her telling regular people to “work” is like her shitty half-sister claiming to be “self-made”.

Eh...

I wish that I hadn’t read this as I have become incredibly angry... with that in mind, if you’re a woman and you participate in football culture in ANY way (including just watching it)... there’s something missing in your moral compass.

Where did you see me defending him? I didn’t say he didn’t deserve to get hit. I’m saying that if you hit someone, and they fucking DIE, then you can reasonably expect some jail time. 

I get that you’re just venting on the internet, but realize that normalizing physical violence (particularly when it inadvertently results in death,) as a response to verbal abuse is a road that invariably benefits the group with with a disproportionately greater capacity for violence.

What you’re calling “work” may not be sitting around eating bonbons, but KK absolutely meets the definition of a socialite, and being a socialite and having a career are not mutually exclusive anyway. Lots of socialites use their social position as a launching pad for careers (interior decorator is a favorite), which…

Puh-leeze.  Give credit where credit is due.  It’s Mama Kris who was the guiding force in this idiot’s life.  No more, no less.

He punched a 77-year-old man, the man fell down, hit his head, and died as a result. This is textbook manslaughter per Florida statutes: regardless of whether there was a specific intent to kill, it is reasonably foreseeable that punching an old man in face could lead to their death; the fact that the kid was almost…

I suspect the family’s grief may be softened by relief. I’m sure this angry old racist wasn’t exactly a ray of sunshine at home.

calling someone an (admittedly) despicable slur/name is not in any way the same as “grabbing the barrel of a loaded gun”. No matter how awful the words/voice is saying it, no one- white, black- has the right or even reason to murder someone, or even assault them.
sorry, call me crazy, i find that a little...crazy

He punched a 77 year-old, who then died.  I’d say two years’ house arrest is more than fair.  “He was old and might have died anyway” isn’t much of a defense.
