Afraid not. The most critical comments are gone, so...yeah. Not a good look at all.

What happened to the long threads discussing the initial article? Were they actually removed? Because, seriously, if comments pointing out that the first Winslow article was horribly researched and pretty much wholly wrong is a bad thing, then having an expectation of journalistic integrity from this site is wrong. So…

They are deleting comments.

What happened to all the comments from the community? It was over fifty and now it’s down to 21? And when I click on replies to me it goes nowhere. Please tell me that’s a Kinja fuck up.

Physically attacking an older woman (and men, to a similar degree) is more likely to cause greater physical injury (atop the lasting psychological problems) due to the frailty associated with aging. Lower bone mineral levels and reduced muscle density is a recipe for heightened injury potential. While this isn’t…

Sure would be nice if The Root would acknowledge how bad they fucked up over this, “shopping for homes while black,” indeed

I’m as disappointed as you are, to be honest.

So whoever called the cops probably stopped a sexual assault is what it’s looking like now.

Normally a fan of you prodigious ouvre, but duuuuuuuuuuuuude.....

That’s odd. I don’t usually associate older women with tight ends.

Especially from a known bubblehead like Kelis.

I listened today, twice. It’s really fucking good for what it is. Whats the NFL?

Because you will be damned if anyone tries to make you pay for porn!

Do you equate Kanye with R. Kelly and Chris Brown?

Allegations = Guilty? Domestic violence is to be taken seriously, but y’all jokers are crazy for automatically assuming guilty without knowing the full story. Just be a fan or don’t and STFU until more details surface.

I really liked how you guys were originally spinning this as #HouseHuntingWhileBlack. The story was suspect from jump. We don’t need to stan for literally everybody.

Those damn white people need to mind their fucking business and stop calling the police on this man for petty bullshit. SMH

Am I wrong to suspect this is probably a story featuring some significant mental illness? Because I’m struggling twisting this into simply a case of #HouseHuntingWhileBlack from the other takes I’ve read on this.
