Bragging rights

Climbed an active volcano in the Philippines, can play over 25 games of Words With Friends at one time, proud stepmama to two wonderful kids, mama to a crazy Pomeranian named Penny Lane, speak 4 languages, have surfed in 34 degree water--with a 5mm wetsuit! Married for one year to the love of my life, Blake Ellis.

Slap her.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Wow! A real knucklehead suffering from an extreme case of “white guilt”. Obviously not very bright. A shrink might be able to help.

[MeshugeMikey]

if her moronic buddy adam had been white he’d still have gotten that free ride in the police cruiser..

how much more of this amateur bleeding heart NONSENSE can these dopes pump out?

[AbnSarge]

So What? Now do something worthwhile and grow up.

[PubliusMM]

“...but what’s certain is that if Michael Brown had been white, he’d likely still be alive.”

Uh...No. That’s nowhere near certain, by any stretch of the author’s (vivid) imagination.

Proof, again, that liberalism is a mental disease.

[Dawgreg]

Did anyone ever think that maybe a higher percentage of white people show respect, take responsibility for their actions and do what is necessary to right the wrong? Color has nothing to do with it.......character does!!

[Olog-hai]

Very poor attempt at linking two totally unrelated events.

Not very smart to climb active volcanoes. Philippine stratovolcanoes have a tendency to erupt explosively, too.

[JimSEA]

Funny thing, my Mexican ancestry and my wife’s Thai blood, makes both of us visibly “other” however we’ve never had any hassle with the police. My wife has had some pretty nasty accusations thrown her way but that’s been all. We don’t feel put upon and certainly not by law enforcement. Everyone faces some bigotry, try being white in Ferguson.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Wow, I guess the active volcano did not erupt all over her because she’s white.

[ConservativeStatement]

Smug, and she knows it. Stupid, but she doesn’t know it.

[windsorknot]

Woe is me! I am a poor white cracker that just doesn't understand the plight of people of color. Nothing has changed, and Selma is forever.

[goodnesswins]

Did I miss where Adam tried to get the cops gun? Or threw a punch at the cop?

[BenLurkin]

How is that people like her....who clearly have no clue about reality...get published?

Just my opinion, of course.

[kanawa]

White privilege or Black attitude, where does the real problem lie?

[Nifster]

Oh great words of ;wisdom; from a real southern belle/s

[Dagnabitt]

The author vomits fantasy and speculation onto a page and believes it's insight.

She should ask for a refund on that expensive liberal arts education.

[Billthedrill]

Heck, no, I'm not tired of it! I hope they keep it up until the election. I hope they shriek it on a daily basis. I hope the MSM pound their Occupy drums with it until people's ears bleed.

In other words, keep babbling, my dear. A reckoning is coming.

[Secret Agent Man]

incredibly tired of it.

i don’t dress like a gangsta thug, white or black. i don’t give everyone the evil eye to look badass tough. i don’t go up’to people saying they aren’t giving me respect. i don’t’wear gang gear or tattoos. i don’t riot when courts rule differently than i’d like. i don’t shoot other people over arguments. i don’t beat people and think solving my problems with violence is the standard way it should go. i don’t use swears every other word as nouns, adjjectives, adverbs and verbs. i don’t go to places where i know there probably will be trouble. i don’t play loud music so my neighbors will hate me and call the police. i don’t do drugs. i don’t drink. i don’t smoke. my definitionof a “good boy” is totally different than theirs. i have never fought with an officer of the law. or lipped off to them

i don’t do any stupid crap these people do, that get them into trouble. they do stupid crap and it just draws the trouble right to them.

“Apparently, his car tag had expired — maybe his driver’s license and insurance, too. “

LOL. I don’t care who you are, if you don’t have legal tags, and don’t have a current license, and don’t have insurance, THEY TOW YOUR CAR. They cannot ‘legally’ allow you to drive off. Your ‘color’ has nothing to do with it.

[ealgeone]

Has the crackerette seen the police records of a lot of fellows??
