Would you be referring to him as “Homeboy” if he was white?

Like I said, I get the narrative you want to push. If you feel the need to cherry pick certain aspects of the NOI, and ignore the reasons why so many black people in poor neglected, crime ridden areas gravitated to them in the 80s and 90s, that is your choice to do.

I see Ralph Northram constantly brought up in comparison but that argument ignores a huge difference. Northram’s controversy was something decades in his past. His recent history and governing record showed no signs of bias which was how he was able to ride it out. Cuomo’s controversy is within his current job. Not to…

I personally would prefer it if the elected members of our government were not assholes, even those on our side, but apparently the majority of New Yorkers feel differently; and it’s their call, not mine.

The issue with that kind of thinking is that it takes resp0nsibility away from Cuomo. Anonymous people being…

So, if you are good at your job, you can be Anti-Semitic and call white people devils

Trump was president. White is a city councilman. He is good at his job, and has had a positive effect on his constituents. I would not vote for him to be mayor or anything higher, but he is doing a lot of good where he is at. If Trump was anywhere near good at his job, most people would care less about the ignorant…

The reason he is still representing the people of Ward 8 in DC is because he fights for the people in his ward. He has done a ton of good for the poor disadvantaged people in his area who otherwise have no voice in the local government. His statement was extremely ignorant, but why he was elected was because he was…

I understand that anytime a person says they feel taken advantage of or victimized in some way, we should take them seriously. Sometimes though, their perspective is just that...their perspective. A person’s perspective does not always equal the facts of a situation. We should be able to say that without being accused…

How can you write an post shaming everyone for not leaving Tessica Brown alone, and within that post link to 5 different articles about her from The Root, all written within the last week and change. Maybe this should have been an internal memo.

I am happy that Trump is gone and I don’t mind Biden as president...but this piece does not hit the way I think it was intended, at least not for me.
This comes off more as politics as usual with Clyburn in the middle of it.

People just wanted someone to beat Trump and we were in the middle of a primary that had no…

Just saw Justice League....you should never review movies again.

The dislike of Bernie from black women is such a weird thing but from all the discussions I have had about it, my opinion is it comes down to two things. Bernie is an old white man who acts like he knows everything and black people, especially black women hate that. So they look for every fault in his argument that…

1. I get what you did there
2. I think a better comparison would be if instead of typing out words for this article, he just turned around and shat on the keyboard until the weight pushed some keys down an posted that.

This comment right here should be added to the article itself. Nail on the head!

Now you are comparing a team winning a championship to an individual player who had little effect on the game.

Without looking I can name every team that won a championship in the NBA (since 1957) and NFL. I know that my Bullets have just one lonely championship. Can I name every player on those rosters? No. Can I tell…

Yes I am definitely assuming, but outside of a few mentions weaved into the dialogue the movies tend to happen in a container. I could be biased based on my disappointment with Age of Ultron. I think it would have been a much better movie if at any point in Avengers or Iron Man 3 we saw Tony working towards creating…

The whole reason that these sports are on TV is to entertain us. We follow players all through their career and one of the primary reasons we do follow is because we want to see that potential realized. When you don’t see that potential realized it hurts.

Look at this this way, when Thanos come knocking the door down, will anything that happened in Civil War actually be a hurdle for getting everything back to normal? Kind of like how Hawkeye was retired for around 30 minutes of film time between AoU and CW.

It becomes harder and harder to buy the stakes in these movies…

People simply don’t want the refs deciding the game. Calling a ticky tack foul that changes the game is what people do not want. There was nothing ticky tack about this play. Not calling it is deciding the game just as much as calling a ticky tack foul would have.
Using your logic, Dionne could have kicked Ginolbli in…

I travel often and the 24 inch is my flying partner. Agreed on the durability. It has some scratches on it but nothing major. It is very important to me that it is small and has 4 wheels that can go in any direction. This fits those and manages to look stylish as well for a good price.
