1. Knew the answer. K&R. n/t

[calimary]

2. Yep. I guessed it, too.

[rzemanfl]

3. Get this to the Greatest Page. K? n/t

[EffieBlack]

4. Question kind of answers itself, doesn't it?

Next time, I’ll try to come up with something more challenging…

[barbtries]

18. it was predictable.

because it's true.

my son as a teenager was arrested for mouthing off to the sheriff. charges dropped, but they took him to jail nonetheless. he's still alive, but he's white.

[Hekate]

5. Knew the answer without peeking. KnR

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. That was too easy.

[at140]

7. Proved correct by actual history!

[DFW]

8. I knew that right away, too.

You don't call him anything. You send condolences to his family.

[erronis]

21. Best response. However I doubt the "law enforcers" send condolences. They reload.

[DFW]

23. The killers don't send condolences. Every one else does n/t

[MadDAsHell]

9. What an odd analogy. nt

[EffieBlack]

10. What's odd about it?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

31. Anybody remember Rodney King ?

[MadDAsHell]

33. Comparing how a roomful of suits in a government hearing interact...

to a street interaction between an armed police officer and a private citizen? You don’t think that’s an odd/out of left field comparison?

[EffieBlack]

39. No, I don't think it's odd at all to note the glaring hypocrisy

in how angry, defiant white men are viewed and treated vs black men are viewed and treated - even when they aren't angry and defiant - and to call out the fact that a white man's outrageously disrespectful and hostile behavior toward persons in authority is not only excused but actually praised as "righteous anger" by the same people who justify the murders of black men because they supposedly weren't deferential enough to authority figures.

The only odd thing about the comparison is that YOU think it's odd.

[MadDAsHell]

40. Settle down. nt

[EffieBlack]

41. Excuse me?

[irisblue]

22. How so?

[packman]

11. I think the word was "Uppity"

My aunts and uncles back , most of them gone, in Pennsylvania during the 50's and 60's in our small steel making/coal producing valley said the blacks were generally O.K. until they got "Uppity".

[rampartc]

35. or maybe "they don't know their place."

[True Blue American]

12. Jeff Flake said

He understood Kavanaugh being angry, but when he began blaming Democrats and the Clinton’s, then treated the panel so sharply, that was it!

[Honeycombe8]

25. Apparently that wasn't "it." Flake voted to recommend confirmation.

You can't believe anything Flake says. He's just getting into the news while the gettin's good. He votes the way his party and Trump tell him to almost all the time. He gets news, though, ahead of time, when he whines about not being sure.

[True Blue American]

30. Flake is the one who

Negotiated the FBI investigation. His friend Coons convinced him..

And the news coming out is not good. Remirez gave the FBI a list today of people who back the story. This is just the first day.

[Power 2 the People]

13. 100% true and 100% sad.

[sheshe2]

14. That is correct.

[AllyCat]

15. First word that popped into my head was "dead"

[BumRushDaShow]

16. I thought more old-timey

"Strange Fruit".

[malaise]

17. Deceased for a true daily double

Alex

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. Thug.

Or, dead thug.

[ffr]

20. Toure: Kavanaugh

Touré: The right wants Brett Kavanugh to get another chance because hey, he was just a teenager, but they also believe teenagers like Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown got what they deserved.

24. And let's not revisit old wounds (unless they involve the Clintons.)

[Az_lefty]

26. Exactly

White guy like me goes to jail

[gopiscrap]

27. exactly

[warmfeet]

28. That is how it currently works in the U.S.A.

Let's change it!

Permanently.

[Bluepinky]

29. I was thinking "uppity" or maybe "boy", something demeaning.

But yes, a black man (or woman or child) has been shot and killed for far less than being rude.

[ck4829]

32. K&R

[Pachamama]

34. Dead Man Talking?

[SummerSnow]

36. A black man will be D.O.A.

[betsuni]

37. K&R
