I understand your disagreement, but I think it’s the mother’s prerogative to forgive or not. Maybe Scott’s mom felt the need to so she could start her healing process. I don’t believe it’s anyone’s place to judge her for that.

I guess I don’t get the jab. I would’ve thought the Sacagewea coin represented female empowerment. If it’s a symbol of a victory for women, why would she want to be rewarded with an old dead white guy?

Tipped position are paid a lot less per hour, No need to share with minimum wage or above employees. I take it you have never had a service job?

Might as well start a unicorn ranch while you wait for food industry to pay its people fairly.

Yes, but is he also insane?

53% of white women voted for him.

It’s like your racist aunt’s forwarded emails became sentient, coagulated into a semi-human form, developed narcissistic personality disorder and dementia, and were voted into the Oval Office.

He is also on tape bragging about sexual assault, and he was never held accountable for that either. It is becoming rapidly clear there is literally nothing Trump will do that will cause Republican lawmakers, let alone his rabid base, to abandon him. The Republicans sold their souls by keeping Trump around; they’ve…

I knew Trump’s fat sphincter mouth would eventually incriminate him.

Kids know who Bow Wow is?

I can’t wait to hear the people about to add 1.7 trillion to the deficit to give the ultra rich a tax cut talk about how we can’t afford this.

I don’t know how I can take 3 more years of this. I am so tired. I am weary in my bones.

I think I’ve used the word like twice in my life in that context. The first time I was a dumbass teenager, the second time I was using it ironically to demonstrate my scorn for that kind of shit talk.

Twitter isn’t a news publication and hiding behind the editorial standards of a news org when they literally have zero editorial function is mealy mouthed nonsense. They’re opting to serve as a megaphone for the unhinged threats of a racist with a degenerative brain condition because it amplifies their importance as a…

White people saying that word holds a different weight and meaning regardless of context. There really is no acceptable situation where we white people should be using that word.

I figured this thread would be full of people making bullshit excuses for these people and look at this. I was right! White people absolutely love the idea of being able to say this word and really don’t give a shit anymore.

It starts with the little ‘innocent’ words. These incidents add up to the bigger ‘grotesque’ things you’re referencing.

Just don’t say it.

Grocery shopping is a burden with “a baby” in tow? Huh. I dunno how we did it with four kids, or when just one of us went to the store.

Regardless, I think the important thing to take from all of these stories, is that there is a recognition that it is important for families of all shapes and sizes to take time to eat…

Interesting, but this focuses on NYC. More interesting if it included more geographic regions. Suburbs (affluent and working class), rural, smaller cities, etc.
