Am I the only person who thinks this whole thing has been blown completely out of proportion? 

Even with a gun in his lap, why didn’t they consider he might be injured or ill and try to find out if he was ok? If I saw someone slumped over, that’s what I would think.

Just take the rest of the week off.

Thanks for this. Had been wondering if I'm the only person who noticed how pro-Cardi The Root is. So much so, it's actually suspicious. 

I agree that we should all apply critical thinking to any situation. And yes, every allegation will not be true or believable.

Not all Black women.

In all honesty, I’m gonna need a while. It’s almost too much to process. I really have no words. 

The South comments are old and unfair.

I sincerely hope both of these women serve some time. There is something perverse about this whole incident. Not in a sexual way, but in a sadistic way. Neither one should be trusted with children.

It’s not the apostrophe. It's the spelling. He should have written 'babies'. 

If someone offered me a billion dollars to name one song by him, I'd still be broke.

I’m confused.

There is so much to unpack on this subject. But the thought that is prevalent in my mind is that our society as a whole (which v of course includes the Black community) just does not value the humanity of Black females.

I’m willing to bet every penny I have this piece will be the only one covered in The Clapback.

I’m disappointed that Aaliyah’s fan club views these allegations as an assault on her memory.

What a beautiful (and deserved) tribute.

IKR??!

Where’s the charge for the battery on the boyfriend?

This doesn't have nearly enough stars.

I can’t wait for the day people start discussing and comparing men’s attractiveness. Let’s start dissecting their skin tones, teeth, love handles, guts, gray hairs, bald heads, and small penises.
