You know what, on the face of it this story makes me very sad. Her last days were just filled with terror and rape. But what I have learned from the many cop supporters on Gawker is that you can never take a story at face value. She could have been a willing bride and those were not rapes but sex between a married…
The last time I saw that many personlized handshakes Michael J. Fox was sending out Christmas cards.
Planned Parenthood has prevented more abortions by providing birth control and women’s healthcare than any jackass right wing group ever has. Fuck those jerks.
LOL, the “less inclined”? What are you talking about? If you are buying into the idea that black people are the “real racist” you have already accepted a bunch of other ideas that buttress this. You are already a racist. You were already inclined.
That narrative already existed prior to this event and will exist after this event. There was no inciting event that caused that narrative to take shape in the mind of racist people. The only thing racist people need to say something foul about black peoples is air in their lungs.
Bernie Sanders is running for President of the United States. He’s asking for our votes. He has to sell himself to us. We don’t have to sell our worthiness of his attention.
Why are we even talking about Bernie Sanders? The “Bernie Sanders Presidency” is a fantasy. A figment of people’s imagination. It does not exist. The chances of it ever existing in the future is probably less than 1%. If we want to change policing and racism in America, you gotta start with mayors, city councils,…
You went from “But he marched with MLK” to “ugh, black folks, why even bother” in two sentences. Impressive.
I assure you, if I could issue orders to my people, “try to read with an open mind” would be way up the list.
“ I’m also pretty sure as a thirty-eight year-old white guy, I can’t possibly understand all the angles from which your viewpoint is informed, so in general I try to just read with an open mind.”
Greg I always enjoy your articles that touch on race issues. I’ve repeatedly heard the argument that racism would go away with socialism... and it was mind boggling to me. Some people are just going to go on hating people for the color of their skin no matter what any politician says.
Greg, I love your work. I don’t always agree with all of it, but I’m also pretty sure as a thirty-eight year-old white guy, I can’t possibly understand all the angles from which your viewpoint is informed, so in general I try to just read with an open mind. Your work is always intriguing and thought-provoking without…
“as well-meant as they are, they don’t address the fact that even if he wins, there’s still going to be racism and everything that comes with it”
Just like as well-meaning as this article is, Greg, it doesn’t address the fact that even if he, or any Democrat, no matter how progressive, wins, they’re going to be dealing…
No the police should be trained not to shoot to kill. They are not the military. They are a civilian peace-keeping force. This whole notion that the police should or are trained to shoot to kill is ridiculous. And you should be able to rely on the police to show restraint. THAT IS THE FUCKING POINT. They are civilians…
Remember that the next time you run a red light, forget to buckle up, jaywalk, or leave your car running while you run inside the store. All are violations of the law, and under your reasoning, are grounds for being murdered.
To all you bigots saying he deserved it:
No you're supposed to question whether that's what actually happened because the cops are being shady as fuck about the details and evidence.

Have you sucked your quota of police dicks today?
