I think that’s a really great point. And one thing I wish I could have, and should have, made more clear is delineating a personal act of forgiveness vs the spectacle of it. I don’t know if Brandt intended for it to be a spectacle, but because it was filmed, because it was such a high profile case, and because the…

Don’t shame “snitching”. Exposing criminals is in the interest of society as a whole, and we want more people to come forward, not less. Yes, we’re talking about a garbage person, but the information he provides is valuable. And there is nothing valuable, or even moral, in remaining loyal to a criminal gang. So, don't…

Snap.

Yeah they do, Dr. Jason Johnson. he’s been all over Kamala on his fellow sellout Joy Ann Reid’s MSNBC shit show. He’s a misogynistic asshole who’s been kissing the unseasoned ass of Liztopher Columbus for months and quite frankly when you call him on it he and other fake woke black folks get mad.

It’s not just the Nobel Prize. Trump has always wanted to be accepted by the kind of cultural and intellectual elite that President Obama was warmly embraced by.

Bigotry from a Trumpublican? The shock from this has left me in a swoon. Someone fetch the smelling salts!

I honestly don’t get where some of you are getting that nothing is being done. It’s literally reported that the university has referred charges to the county prosecutor, and that the case is under review. Like, that is how criminal prosecutions work.  Having an uncooperative victims makes things harder; but so long as…

I had to go to wikipedia...

I don’t do Twitter because it’s a crazy train and a mind is a terrible thing to waste. 

Nope. They give not a single, solitary fuck. Engagement is all that matters, at all cost. That Twitter is run predominantly by white men is surely just a coincidence.

If Twitter is serious about stopping hate and abuse targeting black women...

Well, damn. I came in expecting some lame woke screed about how “poorly It has aged,” and how problematic it is, out of step with today’s sensibilities, etc., and instead found a deeply personal, thoughtful and well-written essay about the reviewer’s relationship with both pop culture and (what I consider to be) a…

This is damn good writing, A.A. It resonated with me in many ways. Like you, it seems, I grew up in a household that could be kindly described as volatile, under the thumb of a cruel and violent stepfather and a mother who encouraged and occasionally participated in what he did. And also like you, I first read IT at…

Something tells me Andrew likes being the center of attention.  Any kind of attention will do.

Word.

So the minimum wage staffer misheard or misspelled his name on a coffee cup and he cries discrimination even after they try to apologize? I have a name that can sound like other words and can’t keep track of the number of times I’ve seen bizarre spellings or other names/words used by mistake.

I’m sure his current concern has everything to do with it possibly hitting that piece of crap gaudy as fuck monstrosity he calls a club of some sort being damaged. Presumably he can only rip off the government on that building but so many times.

Considering it’s the south and they’re probably all 50+ years old there probably is a real good chance that there’s blackface in a lot of their histories.

So, this is history that we don’t want - nor need - to be made.
