I have long held that Ohio is one of the worst places on Earth. People talk all kinds of smack about the south, because they want everyone to overlook how venomously racist people really are up north.
yeah the midwest is really the absolute worst
but the south does suck pretty bad too
I mean at the end of the day you do all vote wrong quite consistently
Not a big Steelers fan though on account of the raping.
I like how its "He wasn't convicted!"
Yeah but even if you believe his version of events it was hella sketchy and there was no way in hell that lady was getting a fair shake by the police, especially ones joking with rapeslburgher's entourage.
Did you read the article on smoking gun about it? It is pretty awful. Definitely a date rape situation, where he was too drunk to comprehend the fact that she was telling him "no" and not just continuing on their earlier conversation about how "hah hah I never do things like this."
But guess what, we decided as a society that drunkenness doesn't excuse anything, so there it is.
But I guess we also decided as a society that celebrities are held a completely different set of rules, so there is that too.
wow, none of this stuff came up in the cbs article i read
gg mainstream media
Well the media loves polarization. The two sides to the story are pretty much "he did nothing wrong" and "he violently raped her in the stall".
The sad truth is that it was drunk-ass date rape which probably wouldn't have happened if he had not had bodyguards with him (because the lady's girlfriends would have gone into the bathroom and interrupted it).
But date rape is dramatically under-prosecuted in this country as it is, when you have a celebrity as the assailant, there's just no way you'll see justice done.

This is true.
Then again, for a black town to receive the monetary benefits it needs during a recession apparently they have to ensure their town is next to some PRECIOUS FUCKING BIRDS FOR MISSISSIPPI TO GIVE A FUCK.

People are still outraged at Michael Vick, even though he actually had to serve time, and never got any kind of sentencing reduction, despite cooperating and exhibiting remorse and doing restitution with the humane society.
I mean there's also sexism at work here because a dog can't be a slut that was asking for it, while a woman can but just
man so much fucked-up is contained in this right here
we're more outraged by a black man killing some dogs (eating our industrially-raised-and-slaughtered burgers all the while) than by a white guy sexually assaulting human women

I think that's less a racial things than an inconsistency in how the public reacts to the crime. For whatever reason we view dog fighting as worse than allegations of rape.
I'd imagine the same thing would happen to anyone who falsified records to send their kid to a different school. Saying it's racially motivated seems... a bit off. The only one making that claim is the author.
Lots of white parents wanting to send their kids to Inglewood High yep.
It shouldn't be a jailable offense to want to send your kids to a better school, and it's ONLY jailable because ONLY minorities would want to do it because America still funds 'white' schools better than non-white schools.
Or, you know, falsifying records to get their kid into the rich school 10 miles up the road would probably still land a white person in the same position. Probably with the same judgment.
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Farts you turn everything into a race issue.
People hate Michael Vick because he strangled a God damn puppy to death, not because he's black.
i mean shit like this just makes you really feel just how impotent you are
fuck that jury though
when will white america finally stop being obsessed with punishing black people
my family did this exact same thing
you know the only reason she got found out is because some white parents wanted to know why the fuck there were two black girls in their white-ass school
fucking disgusting
Dammit, I don't want to have another class v race discussion in [chat].

oh my god are you fucking kidding or just massively ignorant
No I just don't immediately jump on the retard train the minute something like this hits the news.
It's pretty clear they did something illegal, though I do agree that the difference should have been factored into the other school's tuition and taxes for their location.
But to say it's racially motivated is a stretch, just because the defendant is black. Largely the judgment is wrong, but they're still fucking guilty.
no one is saying they didn't break the law, but bowen, when it is certifiable that black people get the short end of the stick in our justice system, and here is a poor black lady being made an overt example of, for a crime that anyone with an iota of compassion would have sentenced leniently on, as yes, she did break the law.
instead the judge has killed her future career aspirations and made a mother who obviously cares about her children's education far less able to provide one.

ok but that's still pretty fucked up
I mean we have a gigantic government subsidized multi-billion dollar industry that does worse to animals every single day, and we all eat the product of that with no qualms
but a dude drowning a dog gets come down on way harsher than sexual assault
I mean even if you take the race out of it it's still fucked

Oh no, you're absolutely right. The judgment was probably racially motivated.
The crime and trial? Not so much.
Fuck if I were a judge I would've let her get off with a few hundred hours of community service because A) she didn't really do anything that deserves that kind of financial shit and the community benefits.
Though, the judge is right, that sends the message it's okay to falsify records. I still don't agree that it was the right judgment. But I also don't agree that anything other than maybe the judgment was racially motivated. For all I know that judge is a dick and does this to every case and goes for the maximum. Or that they're a closet racist. Who knows?

well no shit I'm not saying it's revolutionary here
yeah usually i am all like, man you're overreacting / you're oversensitive to these racial issues, like my friend who is all one of those ethnic studies people who is all into that shit, and i'm like dude you're a bit overdoing it

Aaron rodgers looks like Jake Gylnyhall
That's Irond Wills way of starting new chat's anyway. Just have him lock all the good ones when he comes around after 500 hours.
Hear that Irond? YOU!
Here's a tip:
every conviction of a black or Mexican person in the American criminal justice system is racially motivated
Or, you know, falsifying records to get their kid into the rich school 10 miles up the road would probably still land a white person in the same position. Probably with the same judgment.
Farts you turn everything into a race issue.

Not sure if serious.
but it's an unjust system
and she was trying to make a better life for her children
I mean jesus
it's not like she was embezzling state funds
This whole thing just screams "learn your fucking place, n*****!"
Dammit, I don't want to have another class v race discussion in [chat].
That's probably slightly overreaction isn't it?

Claiming everything bad that happens to a minority is racially motivated.
AHAHAHAHA, NO
Man screw Canada, my family was unjustly enslaved by your government in the 30s... THE 1930's YOU FUCKERS!

Nope
I mean unconscious bias alone
If you are white, and you live in America, your amygdala will activate at just the sight of a black man's photo
If you're an American white person and you think you're not at least a little racist, you're fooling yourself
Oh no, you're absolutely right. The judgment was probably racially motivated.
