ok. thanks. i’ll start looking for alternatives.

is it j&j? if not, which brand is it? idon’t think i’ve ever seen another brand of baby powder, except for medicated gold bond.

i just looked at two bottle of j&j baby powder that i have. one is purchased in the uk and the other in the us. both are made with talc. this is unfortunate. their cucumber scented baby powder is so nice.

and the calvin from 227

any parent who cares about their kids would emotionally suffer from turning in their kids. race is still not relevant.

i think i understood what you wrote just fine. that wasn’t your original argument, but if it makes you feel better to say that i missed your point, that’s fine. and, there’s a huge difference between these kids and tamir rice. if only they could switch places.

i never said they wouldn’t feel fear either. they should feel fear, but that’s not something they can avoid at this point. and, their decision to turn their kids in shouldn’t be colored by their fear for them. they should fear for the victims and expect their kids get what’s coming to them. it may be difficult, but it…

does not change the fact that if they committed such a crime, they should be turned over to the police regardless of race. if they want to go about committing rape, i really couldn’t care less what happens to them. it’s a shame that so many of us are criminalized for just existing as black persons, but some people…

uuuuuh. i’m black. from my expereince, i’m pretty sure i do not and have not gotten equal treatment from police — ever — and i have the traumatized memories as proof. i do my best to stay away from them. not sure where i said i did.

as a black person from ny who is familiar with brownsville and regardless of our relationship with law enforcement, i’m still going to say it’s not relevant.

how would a parent’s experience change with a child of any color?

it’s not relevant at all.

hear hear

i agree with you. it just doesn’ t seem to work in practice.

all i am saying is that i equally do not expect much from either corporations or the government. they both deserve to be distrusted by the public. corporations take advantage of people for profit and so do those who represent us in government. if the government were for the people, people wouldn’t have to fight so…

that’s the way it’s supposed to be, but it’s not.

why not both.gif

and that fixes what? i’m black, but i know there are many examples of corrupt and racist black politicians as well. i think the problem that needs to be addressed is more intricate than changing the color of the mayor. but, i am just speculating.

it’s on at 7:15.

the 1.0mm is great as well.
