New details in the Daniele Watts story, the black actress detained by police after showing her white boyfriend affection in public, have made this story a lot less nuanced in some ways and a lot more complicated in others then originally thought. While her boyfriend, Brian Lucas, showed his ID, Watts refused and was handcuffed in public before being released without charges. Both Watts and Lucas felt the police showed racial bias and that Watts was treated as if the police suspected she was a prostitute and Lucas her john. But images taken by witnesses show that maybe this was just some old-fashioned lewd behavior in public:
New photos posted online Wednesday appear to show actress Daniele Watts straddling her boyfriend in their parked car with her shirt pulled up to expose her breasts. …“They were f*cking,” [Los Angeles Police Sgt. Jim] Parker said a witness reported. “He was in the passenger seat with his legs outside.” … One of the workers [from across the street] asked the couple to stop, TMZ reported, but a witness said Lucas began “horizontally bongo-ing her boobs back and forth.” The witness said Watts grabbed a tissue a short time later from the center console, wiped Lucas off, and tossed it onto the grass along the street.
And an audio clip leaked from the incident that has an exchange between Lucas and the officer seems to also show that while he defended Watts online, Lucas suggested that she was “overly sensitive” about the “black and white.”
Nothing like a humiliating public incident and a little throwing under the bus to test the endurance of a relationship.
Team Blackness also discussed an expanding diversity gap between Democrats and Republicans, the truth about poor people, and Rush Limbaugh on seduction.

Her rap was bullshit from jump street.

EVEN IF THEY WERE FUCKING (and it does indeed seem like they were), the cop at the time would have had no way to know that they did the deed in public aside from an anonymous call. Should we excuse his behavior just because they were in fact guilty?
What if they weren’t fucking in public? Then and only then the cop is wrong?

Could someone point me toward the front page post on Obama’s wars in the Middle East, where folks are discussing how to counter the AIPAC/WINEP line that attacking Assad, the main opponent of ISIS, will somehow help defeat ISIS? Where you’re criticizing the Obama administration’s use of that propaganda line? Thanks in advance.

This is probably because I’m an old married woman in my mid-40s, but I keep thinking, You’re having sex in a car when it’s 100 degrees out? Why not go home to your air-conditioned apartment?
Also, yeah, I will probably need clearer pictures and video before I go with Full Intercourse in Car over Serious Macking in Car.
