McEnroe doesn’t have beef with Williams; he took the bait and gave an indelicate (but largely correct) answer to a question designed for that purpose, and Williams understandably didn’t like the way it sounded, even though she had previously expressed sentiments indicating the real point of contention, aside from…

I’m not hating on her hustling her way into a driver’s seat. But it would be nice if she, ya know, won a few races here and there, or even finished most of them. The Ricky Bobby school of driving only works if you actually win when you don’t spectacularly crash out. And if Danica weren’t an attractive woman that…

they don’t understand that when I say ‘white people’ I don’t mean them as a person.

She was 19; she was not a kid. Manson didn’t pick her that night to go along and kill Rosemary and Leno LaBianca. VanHouten went up to Manson and asked to go along. She wanted to commit those murders.

What did this story support exactly? He was placed in handcuffs, suffered no injuries and the threats he alleges were made weren’t audible. In fact 99% of this encounter wasn’t recorded. But yes, this supports his story lol. Please never be a lawyer.

Ah...yes....self-serving anecdotal statements are always better than actually waiting for investigations and proof to come out. I mean, a guy who is trying to get more attention to his protest of poor treatment of minorities wouldnt have any motivation to make up this story.....and right as the start of the season…

I wouldn’t want to have kids with someone who surprises me by being a good father. I’d want to assume ahead of time that they’d be a good father. Having a kid and then going “oh wow you’re actually good at this?” Is weird to me. Although I don’t have millions of dollars to support childcare care if the dad slacked off.

Diversity is great and what we need in Fashion because it represents the truth of life and consumers.

I will LITERALLY KILL MYSELF if’n he doesn’t start showing some awareness. This GUY, revered by MILLIONS of children, cannot PROCEED in such a MANNER.

Hillary Clinton is “proud of her conservative values”; “proud to have been a Goldwater Girl”; and, her “values have never changed”. Her support of gay marriage is a new “public position”. She, no doubt, has many private positions that have been worked out in the homes of billionaires during her private fundraisers.

Is it just me that sees five rows of Hasidic Jews in the lede?

LOL!!!!!!!!! I’m leaving this here for the inevitable swarm of The Root regulars.

Pretty sure the fact that teams are looking at Brock Osweiler is proof that there’s a blacklist out for Kaepernick...

So they went on this Jeremiad against Ezekiel in order to throw The Book at him?

Why wasn’t she arrested?

Why would we not want to fund public policy education? To ensure our future policies are written with no actual understanding of how government works?

The idea that when I die, my accumulated “wealth” is seized by the government instead of being dispersed to my children (or to whome I see fit) is terrifying.

But she is wrong. Saying “yes all white people” is what’s problematic in her post. In the next sentence she then backpedals to “most of you”.

Celebrities are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. If they don’t speak out they are not “using their platform”. If they do speak out, they will definitely make a mistake (because they’re human) and people tell them they are out of touch and to stfu. Suddenly they are cancelled because of how “problematic”…
