"...who is currently in jail for 14 years convicted of second degree murder of her boyfriend."

So, was he about to say the N word there? Otherwise, I don't get being mortified about his dramatic pause. She was black. She falsely accused 3 white men of rape. And she's a shit human being. And the ESPN 30 for 30 about this was excellent.

Was it just not the time to bring it up? Or could it have been prefaced better? The way in reading this it seems like a bunch of white people are afraid of something they shouldn't be.

Regardless of the unfortunate pause, he also didn't specify the race of the lacrosse players, which offensively suggests white is the default while anything else is 'other.'

He never mentioned why the color of her skin was relevant. It was about how he'll never leave Bryant because the President there was the only one that gave him a chance when nobody else would touch him. Trust me, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but the only conclusion to be drawn is that black women are more likely to be false rape accusers.

Mike Pressler is the head coach. 4-year starter and captain of both football and lacrosse team at my alma mater. I have crossed path with him a few times; we played Duke in a scrimmage a couple of years (which was Duke doing us a favor more than us doing them any good in the preseason) and a lacrosse alumni game. I also know a ton of folks who played for him at Duke. Those who know him personally think very highly of him on all aspects. Only people I have ever met who don't speak highly of him are those who only know his name through the media.

Pressler will never leave Bryant because they were the only ones who would give him the time of day. My school had just let the lacrosse coach go/he stepped down (not sure which way it was) after the season. The story is Pressler was interested in the job. The AD met him in a roadside diner in VA. Would not even meet him on campus. Basically said they could not even consider him. The media had not switched against the DA and the accuser.

Mouth agape that this is from 2016.

This "humorous" report manages to continually conflate a number of Asian ethnicities into one big yellow mob. But as O'Reilly says "it was all in good fun."

Yep, the subtlety of satire is a delicate thing. When it comes from a place of fear, hate or sense of superiority, it will never be funny.

Always cracks me up when Conservatives say Liberals have no sense of humor.

Fucking idiots. Only reason I watched is I've been working down there two days a week for a year, and I'm getting to know the area better. (That vegetarian dim sum place is pretty good.) But that was just ignorant and unfunny. The martial arts studio was a korean dojo, judging by the huge fucking flag on the wall.

The sign has been vandalized before, the first time in 2008, but no arrests have been made, according to WJTV.

Jesus, some of you people have the worst families. Fuck that guy. Let me guess, he gets pissed off when someone has the audacity to imply he is a racist. You posted something the other day about reactions you and your girlfriend get, and it caught me off guard. Interracial couples are just completely normal in my sheltered existence. Blows my mind why anyone gives a fuck.

There's a level of manipulation going on here that is usually found in people with personality disorders.

Probably along a similar vein of Curt Schilling.

Thought this was bumped over the nauseating story out of Chicago yesterday.

It's disgusting and heartbreaking. And even when the captors clearly say "Fuck Donald Trump! Fuck white people!" the Chicago police text with this:
Chicago police say they're investigating the motive, but "we do not believe the victim was targeted because of his race or because of a political affiliation," Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Thursday.
It's make this situation 1,000 times worse. It's fucking ridiculous.

I thought I read the victim knew at least one of the kidnappers? If so, isn't it possible that the impetus behind this was something else? That should at least make it worth waiting before getting #BLMKidnapping trending (that you're doing that).

I'm helping make that hashtag trend? You can't be serious. BLM being blamed for this makes no sense. That part I seriously don't get. That's like blaming ISIS for the Orlando night club shooting.

No, I'm just looking at a video that's pretty clearly obvious. I understand the need to let the investigation happen and let the situation breathe, but the cops clearly don't know how to handle media relations when they've jumped immediately to "we don't think it's race related." I'm not hung up on the politics portion of that.

4 white people doing this to a black individual with special needs would certainly not get that treatment.

Luckily too young to have to explain things.

My daughter's school was evacuated about a decade ago. That was bad enough. But a cross-country campaign like this?

Israel, yes. American Jews, not so much. American Christian supremacists generally back Israel because it has a super right-wing government and is viewed as superior to Palestinian Muslims. On the flip side, hard core Zionists have given Trump a pass for Bannon's anti-Semitism because Trump's pick for Israeli Ambassador is a serious anti-Palestinian bigot.

I agree it seems illogical but Netanyahu's government actively celebrated Trump's election despite Bannon and the anti-Semitism from Trump supporters. That's because they know Trump won't care about continued settlement expansion or any other forms of anti-Palestinian oppression.

And they want to bolster Israel while encouraging Israel to abuse Palestinians, hoping the rest of the Arab world will start the Apocalypse so they can Rapture out of here.

No fucking kidding.

I've never been one to cry "fascist," but if this continues, what you'll have is a ruling class of absolutely ruthless rich guys and whatever power they can't enforce from the top will be enforced by goons from the lower rungs of society.

Christ, 8 years is a long time. I remember watching Obama's inauguration and actually choking up at a couple points. I won't write out and commit to a post as to what I would like to see happen at this inauguration.
