Someone should tell him he can’t say “I’m sorry” so he’ll feel it’s that much more urgent for him to say it.

When you do a quick google search and find that 80% of comic book readers are white and predominantly male this makes perfect sense.  This was written with its target audience in mind. 

I’m not saying right wingers will stop being right wingers. Their defining characteristic is a lack of empathy. However, they’ve always got carve outs for the rights of themselves and their loved ones. So a right wing GOP person who is pro choice (or pro some choice) is going to shift abortion rights higher in their…

While everything you wrote is true, I’m not convinced that too many of them aren’t just weakly attached to the notion that women are fully people with inalienable rights to things like bodily autonomy, and will choose to cling instead to hurting those they “need” to be hurting.

I would say the biggest difference - politically speaking - is that prior to September 1, 2021, moderate and Republican women who were pro-choice could hold their nose and vote for anti-abortion right wingers because they knew implicitly that the Courts would block any complete abortion ban from being passed by the Sta…

Messed-up, isn’t it? I’ve had okay dealings with the po-po, bad ones, then I had one horrendous incident that caused me to mistrust them the rest of my life. I’ve hated them for a long time.

In theory, links to other articles on The Root gives the website some “Search Engine Optimization (SEO) juice,” making it rank slightly higher in Google’s algorithms and more likely to appear slightly higher in search engine results for the words they’re linking with (so “father,” or “tragic ending,” or “scenario” in…

Yeah, this was basically saying “Don’t panic that someone said they’ll kill you with a gun! They might use a knife instead, and you can’t know until you’re hurt!”.

I guess we’ve reached the stage of our societal collapse where a cop NOT immediately killing a Black person is a news story 

I’m thinking it might be auto generated somehow by their publishing software. I’ve seen this on other sites, where they will link a word like “hospital” to something totally unrelated but with the word hospital in the title. no way is a live person doing this!

It’s not that Roe v. Wade might not be struck down.  It’s that the wording and reasoning behind the decision striking down Roe v. Wade will be edited before it’s finally issued as a formal opinion.  That’s not grounds for hope.

In fairness, the fight was at our doorsteps in 2016, not enough people stood up and in came Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett.

Its horrible for the reading experience now I have to hover over links to find out where it goes like im checking for gdamn viruses and just makes me think less of the website for pulling this crap.

When did they start making these hyperlinks so irrelevant? I’m used to The Root putting in links to other articles but they usually have a point.

For real. It’s very, very annoying, and completely undercuts the idea of sourcing the article.

I’m living for the day they both STFU.

Most of Mo’Nique’s career issues are self-inflicted wounds.  She need to fire her husband/manager who has no clue as to what he’d doing . Then she needs to learn how to behave as adult, people who behave like this in the real word don’t get business or they get fired.

I think both are middle of the road, as far as my taste in comedians, but this move by Mo was cringe-y and gross. One has nothing to do with the other, and what parallel was she even trying to draw, exactly? Her brand of pretzel logic has always been weird to me, and she has been inching toward my line of IDFWU for…

This is indefensible and I’m glad the daughter read Mo’Nique for filth for that shyt. His family ain’t got shyt to do with their beef and she of all people is a survivor and knows better. 

Neither are my favorite, but I have been aching for someone to silence Mo’Nique since she first fixed her mouth to rant about the powers that be in the entertainment industry way back when. Gurl, you KNEW what time it was, and then dragged all of them for over a decade!? She made a career of not having a career and…
