I agree with him. These aren’t like Confederate statues. People can choose whether or not to consume a particular piece of pop culture and sometimes I think it’s good to be reminded what was acceptable just a short while ago and not just with regards to race. I was watching a re-run of “In the Heat of the Night” that…

PS- Raising children is hard , especially a child with ADHD and mood disorder but for God’s sake, don’t use the police to discipline/ control your child! When you involve the judicial system they are predisposed to incarcerate us, not treating/ helping which is what would happen if Grace wasn’t Black.

Pence claimed “our ability to respond to this pandemic is substantially better than two or three months ago,” WWLTV reports. And, Pence is correct. The response two or three months ago was shit, and the improvement has been slightly better than shit.

With Republican party leadership, it would be a strategy.  With Trump, ‘long-term thinking’ extends to the next McDonald’s lunch.  

This is ALSO about Pence not being replaced in the VP slot.  This is the one time that Trump can kick out Pence, so Pence has ended any pretense about being an adult in the room till after the election.

Long term strategy to bust teacher’s unions right here.

You would think Conservatives would encourage homeschooling as a way to keep Whayt children pure from being tainted by “librul education” and “mixing with the culureds”. But I know this is all about votes and posturing. What ever reasonable people will say, Trumpies will say the opposite.

VP: We don’t want national guidelines to dictate when we open schools.

I just read this ProPublica story before coming onto the Root today, and it is maddening. Fyi the dad just never wanted to be a part of it.

People who speak more than one language experience less dementia. So learning to speak another language is good for your brain.

I’m not completely forgetting about the theft in the story, but it saddens me that so many white kids all over this country steal, fight, etc... and they never face a judge. If they do, records are expunged quickly.

I’m at the point where I’m simply not calling the police on black people unless they are committing a…

“Two is my max apparently”

I regret I can only really speak English.  I have tried to learn several languages and have come to the conclusion that it is only in childhood that one can learn how to learn another language.  So, here we go again.  Only in America are we only taught one language in school.  We are not only ignorant, we are taught…

I always have fun with correcting Americans on their English, mostly because I‘m Danish and English is my 4'th language, German is pure hell to learn even for North Europeans like me

“We cannot get swept away in fear,”

To some extent, amateurs are highly able to detect problems in art, just awful at identifying and diagnosing it.

The GOP literally made death panels, there is death and dying in the nation and their panels of republican morons states that there aren’t any problems and agreed with themselves.

Annie Leibovitz is a very talented photographer. As stated in the article, her dark, arty style has always worked well for people with lighter skin. If she is unable to adapt her techniques to different subjects/ situations, then a different photographer should do the shoot. Obviously, we need more Black…

“...Her job is to make [her subjects] look good,”

My wife has been trying to teach me Spanish for the last 11 years. but for some reason, my brain just doesn’t get it. I get the gist of it, but I can’t speak it.
