I mean this sincerely: Shut the fuck up.

Hopefully he took your comments to heart and will use them as a catalyst to improve his performance. Gentle honesty is always the best approach, but he wanted to stunt so you had to deliver the news in the bluntest way possible.

LOL, that’s cute.

I like the code you speak in ;-)

“I hope she takes them to the cleaners.”

I...I’m even more confused now. Did you mean to reply to me? I’m desperately searching for some context.

Damn. Did he cry?

Okay...so I’ve been doing this Root thing for a minute and am newer to VSB (I used to browse, but never created an account on that site). What’s the deal with Dustin? I’ve seen some casual digs at his expense, but no one is explicitly saying what he did to piss people off.

Why am I gray on VSB? I’m in the black on The Root...hmm...

Yay! Agatha is back! Welcome up back lady *waves*

Stromummy.

Ugh ugh ugh. This is so gross. Just look at his left hand. He’s getting so much more out of this than she is, especially given that he and his ilk are using this incident as a way to gaslight the public.

He looks bad no matter what because, well, he is bad.

Right? Like, does she hear herself or is she really so delusional that she thinks she’s an exception to the rule?

Get out of my head! I was going to post the same clip. As an 80s baby this, too, was my very first exposure to Dick Gregory.

LOL, right? He’s actually showing his entire ass by revealing that he’s aware that certain catchphrases have been coded and standardized with whiteness and he’s obsessed with the preservation of this practice.

I googled “happy American couple” and was elated to see a lot of beautiful black couples pop up. Searches for “American man” and “American woman” no longer yield totally whitewashed results as they used to. Kudos to whoever tweaked those algorithms. Next up: tweaking “All American man” and “All American woman” which…

Confirming that this is how it works. I’ve had online date app dudes look me up on Facebook (even though they shouldn’t know my last name because we didn’t get that far) and they pop up in my suggested friends list. It’s very creepy.

Sarcasm?
