And yet you still can’t control yourself.

A news story is reported by a reputable news organization about an alleged attack that is being investigated by the authorities, meaning that it passed a first-level scrutiny by experienced investigators. An attack of a kind that is far from unknown against black people in this country. I report this here as symptomatic of living while black in America. You assume the attack was faked, and therefore irrelevant to the lives of black people in America, without any evidence at all.
Can you see the difference?
Again, some in the media were noting Trump’s silence on this actor. Then April Ryan asked him yesterday and he replied, “That I can tell you is horrible. It doesn’t get worse.”
Why? Why prod politicians for a response when we don’t know if there were any harmed victim in this or not? It’s understandable that some of the rhetoric of Trump and his ilk is seen as irresponsible and incendiary. Whatever recourse is out there, this is letting the tail wag the dog. You don’t discover parts of narratives by shaping sequences of events into them hours after they happen. For those politicians who did volunteer their lamentation over it, this is the 24/7 news. Waiting won’t make it more of an emergency.
But Trump is correct - it is horrible. If it happened the way the actor said it did, it’s horrible, if it is a hoax, it’s horrible, if the actor just forgot his safe word, it’s horrible.
What might make it a little less horrible is catching and punishing whoever is responsible.

A black woman was pulled over in Detroit for driving with expired tags, and her car was towed. Now, the cops did offer to drive her home, but she declined, since she was only a block from her house. As she walked home in the freezing temperatures, the cops followed behind her, recording her walk, and posted it online with the mocking captions, “walk of shame”, “bye felicia", “What black girl magic looks like,” and “celebrating Black History Month.”

I really don’t understand how the cops think this is a great idea. And even if they don’t realize how bad it is, why would they post it on social media? Do they really think they aren’t going to get caught? I just don’t understand. It has to be some sort of brain damage.
Racism is a form of brain damage.
But, people go with what they know. They laughed, their partner laughed, when they got back to the station, their colleagues laughed.
When all your peers are laughing, it is hard to realize that your peers do not make up the entirety of the world. It is easy to take a position that only a triggered libtard snowflake would take offense to these actions, and, along with wanting to make like minded people laugh, they wanted to make their political enemies cry.
They forgot that the vast majority of people are mostly decent, and, while they may not seek out racism to root out, if it is shoved in their face like this, they will react, and usually not in the racists favor.
Even I know what finna means. It’s a shortening of fixing to.
That said, I’m not sure it’s the court’s problem that bad English is spoken.
You think that people should be denied their rights because of a misunderstanding?
Yeah, what they did just seems utterly insane to me. Don’t make no sense!
Lawyer, dog or lawyer dog? That’s why I’m generous with my commas.
Concerning rights? No, I don’t think rights should be denied. I actually think wanting a lawyer should be an explicit and informed opt out not an opt in. I don’t trust the Man.

AL Sharpton picked another winner with Smollet: Sources: Police investigating whether Jussie Smollett staged attack with help of others, allegedly being written off 'Empire' - ABC7 Chicago
What are you babbling about?
Sharpton, who notoriously pushed the Tawana Brawley story including accusing an innocent man of rape:
More recently he jumped into the Jussie Smollet case which looks like it was not as reported by the victim.
I never understood why Al Sharpton was allowed back on the public stage after that and even is a contributor and occasional host on MSNBC.
Maybe you wanna wait until the investigation turns something up before assuming guilt? I mean, seriously, hypocrite much?
An extended mention of Sharpton is a distraction, really. The focus should be on what the Chicago PD find and more than likely whether criminal charges are recommended against Smollett and his associates. Most people are wise to what Sharpton is after. It’s possible the Rick Kitchen’s and andros’s of the world who share baking recipes in my threads think he is trying to help, but most people know.
Presumably MSNBC feel there’s an audience for him. It ain’t me, but I assume someone likes him, much in the same way that Oliver North got a FoxNews show.
