He meant “relentless and pathetic.”
You seriously couldn’t figure that one out yourself?
Is it your claim that the mother lied at the time the birth certificate was issued?
Along with 10,000 government employees. Shirley, you don’t think they’re all Republicans, right?
An anonymous source told my friend that they were all Republicans. Until they all come forward and prove otherwise, I see no reason why we shouldn’t believe my friend’s source, do you?
Funny!
Does this work for university admission, schloarship, and financial aid?
Assuming Kings story about his paternity is true, an officer who was uncertain about the kids “race” could very well decide to tick white as a kindness to the mother. Said police officer probably had little knowledge about the dynamics of Kings family.
I’m pretty sure it does–do you think it doesn’t? (I’m assuming we’re talking about sincere identification with a socially-described group here, not fraudulent claims of identification–but even then I’m not sure how the government could reasonably distinguish between the two).
Good lord. I know nothing about this case but I have a good friend. She’s African American. Her husband is caucasian. She’s got dark skin and dark hair. He’s got blue eyes and very white skin. They have twins. The girl looks exactly like the mom with dark features. The boy looks like the dad with blue eyes and white skin. Yet both are biracial. Yet you can also tell that the boy looks like the mom and the girl looks like the dad. I’m not sure why some people seem to find it hard to believe that you can look really white but have close black relatives. And vise versa.
I think part of it might be because of how massive a part of American history and culture various white supremacist ideals have been, and in some cases still are. To some degree, American society still operates on the “one drop” rule.
In the words of the detective:
Detective Keith Broughton, who was the officer on the scene of the alleged hate crime, told IJReview: “I believe that he’s biracial. I could just tell when I saw him. I marked him white because he’s very light complected. He was there with his white mother. My crime report there’s only two things you can check: black or white. It doesn’t say biracial…anyone from around here who knew him knew he was mixed.”

Yeah man, any old handwritten statement will do. Just block out your friend’s name and you’re gold. 
Here’s finally a refreshing perspective
Not to mention that one of those handwritten statements was from one of the boys who admitted to assaulting King.
Exactly the kind of statement that should be taken completely at face value and certainly it would be ridiculous to assume that the kid would make the most self-serving statement possible and certainly only an idiot would think that it would be completely logical for someone who’d engaged in a hate crime would lie about it.
Of course we both know people who are ruthless skeptical of every claim of police brutality would find such a statement useless.
Yes, exactly. D’Anconia made the following comment earlier:
So D’Anconia won’t believe King blogging about himself, as shown with the comment above about King’s blog, but has no problem believing a racist blogger who doesn’t know anything about King other than what she Googled. It’s pretty rich to see people write off his words about his own experiences while believing anonymous whisper campaigns that have no evidence.
What’s the difference between fraudulent claims and non-fraudulent claims? If you think back to the lawsuit the Asian students filed against Harvard, wouldn’t it be easier to just tick a different ethnicity box? And not just at Harvard, at a lot of schools that have higher or lower admission criteria for various check boxes in the race section of the application.
If a ethnic Irishman who was lily white like Conan O’Brien claims they are black for the purposes of college admission, is that okay?
Yes. If he self identifies as black. Of course this bring up the whole issue of why the college is preferring one race over another- *when there is no such thing as race.
*
"Hey, I have checked this box- that means I get in! "
“Bummer, looks like I check the wrong box, suck to be me. Back to bagging groceries.”
or perhaps we could base it on grades, test scores, letters of rec, stuff like that. Nah. :rolleyes:
and this from that:*“The only conceivable reason to target him is because he’s an easily identifiable figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, and Breitbart would like him to be rendered somehow illegitimate.”
*
Why are we still debating this- when there is really no such thing as race? When t*here is no one single definition or test which says a man is 'black"? *
If you say you are black, you are.
No one has answered this. Why do you believe Shaun, and why should the rest of us?
I saw it on the internet, it must be true! Doesn’t cut it.
Because at least his statements have a name attached to them?
That’s a pretty low standard, don’t you think?
