Oh…can you even imagine being enslaved, lynched, minimized, beaten, murdered like little 14 yo Emmitt Teal and for hundreds of years??? Oh the irony….. What’s truly fascinating is to see it exposed over something like this…..just bursting at the seams to come out of that cellular memory…. Amazing to see how little it takes!!! Wishing Brittney and her wife many blessings and also to PRESIDENT Biden in his continued efforts to free those wrongfully incarcerated by Putin ad others….

I don't want to hear about white privilege ever again. Paul Whelan has been rotting for 4 years, and the US prioritized a Black lesbian basketball player in exchange for a notorious arms dealer. Good for Brittany but there is nothing to celebrate.

If you only can get one, isn't Paul the priority over Brittany?

My grandparents were poor peasants who came from Italy about 110 years ago. They faced discrimination when they arrived. It was wrong then as it is wrong today. But you keep playing the skin color game and the victim Olympics.

. But it ‘was you crying about being a white man. You played that card FIRST….TOUCHÉ…
 
I was really pissed off that the former marine wasn't a part of the prisoner exchange. However, until reading this article, I didn't realize Whelan had received a bad conduct discharge and had his rank reduced to corporal after being found guilty of issuing hot checks and attempting to steal $10,000 during a tour in Iraq. As an honorably discharged veteran I understand that it's not that you simply entered the military, but rather how you exited, that shapes the opinions about your personal character.

Whelan was taken into custody four years ago by Russian officials while in possession of a flash drive that contained the names of Russian border guards -- apparently given to him by a friend?.. He claimed that he thought the flash drive had holiday photos on it and that he hadn’t yet looked at it. The article mentions nothing about him denying that the flash drive was in his possession.

I'm in no way insinuating guilt because the level of Russian corruption leaves one to question any "evidence" they may claim to have against someone. I'm glad Griner will be coming home to resume her life, and I am definitely wishing for Whelan to eventually experience the same. I just don't see the circumstances surrounding each of their incarcerations as being parallel.

The Puzzling Story of Accused Russian Spy Paul Whelan
 
Is a BCD a "thing" in Marines circles? I honestly don't know how it's viewed by others who served.

Is the fact that he lied about his cop resume viewed negatively in LEO circles?

I don't doubt that Russia could have planted the flash drive and cash on him, but it sure seemed like Whelan bragged about his Russian connections before the "**** around and find out" caught up to him. He should be home for sure. But he (like Griner) isn't some saintly hero who deserves any quid-pro-quo either.

Biden is the first president to adopt the idea that “equity” is more important than “equality” in the law. Equity is the idea, in the words of America’s most oft cited critical race theorist, Ibram X. Kendi: “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”
