>> Will #Trump bail #TigerWoods out of jail?

Let's say he does. Then that would mean #tribalism was key, and that #racism played no part in it.

And if he doesn't, are we going to bandy about terms like #intersectionalAnalysis to explain away the alleged #DUI, where specifics of the case are treated as mere pretext for discrimination?

To me, "analysis" of any kind means untangling intertwined factors to arrive at the simplest explanation. #Occam #Cosby

This is not limited to black people.

We have seen this with the perpetrators of 9/11.

When #US went after them, a whole class of people had the grievance that we went after muslims.

They are overlapping classes, but #terrorism is not tied to or limited to a specific religion or culture, as we know from the #Oklahoma bombing by #TimothyMcVeigh.

The reason I felt compelled to comment earlier is because twice in 2 days I saw 2 posts on #BlackMastodon alleging #racism:

1. Women's value gets lower the more children they have.

2. A #rapist was prosecuted. Isn't it good that he was brought to justice?

The person in the post about #BillCosby suggested #Cosby was prosecuted because he was black, not because he raped women.

She used some big words like #intersectionalAnalysis, but nothing of substance

>> STFU. Another attack on Black women.

There're plenty of white women that have many children. Also in many other non-American cultures. How is this an attack on #black women?

The author #BrandonContes deliberately made it sensational by rewriting it as "having children lowers a woman’s value". That's NOT what Newton said.

No doubt racism is rampant, but how does diluting it help the cause of black people?
