In 2010, the 7-Eleven convenience store chain even donated $5,000 and gained naming rights to a purebred Percheron once known as Blackie. It became Slurpee, named after the store's frozen beverage.

The fact that nobody's commented on this gem saddens me. :(

:P

The guy isn't really that white either.
He's a white Hispanic.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

More beige than white.

Apparently white enough to fit the "white men gunning down black youths" narrative.

I like the idea of Marti talking about race in America.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I like when he talks about primates.

Are colours different in America than they are in Europe? Because this guy is brown, like most so-called "blacks".

Perception of race is likely different, yes.

Yes. My perception is that what matters most is blackness or not. Whiteness is terribly flexible.

"Brown" covers a huge range of hues, including most white people who live below 40 degrees latitude or so.

QuotePolice camera shows final moments before man killed Flagstaff officer
Disturbing video captured the moments leading up to the killing of a rookie Arizona officer by an armed suspect.

24-year-old Flagstaff police Officer Tyler Jacob Stewart was killed December 27 by a man concealing a firearm.

According to The Republic, Officer Stewart responded to an apartment where 28-year-old Robert William Smith and his girlfriend had reportedly been arguing over unwashed dishes. Smith had become violent and broke items around the house, resulting in the girlfriend's call to police.

Everything seemed fine until the officer asked to frisk him. I guess the guy panicked. Sad.

Yes, Marty.  :P

I decided you could use the night off, and find something else to do on a Friday night instead of goofing on murdered officers.

Been a while since I saw Seedy go all Sergeant Mulcahy on someone.
