No one can help you when you get in your own way

Nice touch on the rap music metaphor.

Sweet Jaby Beebus. That headline, tho .. Flawless Victory.

The endgame is power at any cost, it seems.  Short-term power, so that all the rules can be changed to ensure long-term power.  All Republican voters are pawns to be sacrificed in this game of tiddly-checkers.

Your difficulty in understanding it is rooted in your decency. How would any of this national madness ever make sense to a decent person? It is the same mentality that pretends it doesn’t know who & what was behind that horrid treasonist, seditious insurrection. We are standing in the gap between good & evil.…

One of the things that continues to amaze me is how many people are running around out here with absolutely NO self-control whatsoever. This guy was just driving along, saw a news truck and instantly became so emotional that he absolutely had to confront the crew. He pulls off the road onto the grass, hops out and…

“And a box of juju fruit shoved up his ass!”

Ivermectin is making those White Trump humpers in Mississippi crazier!

Wallace’s Fox/OAN-addled brain: “Black man. Black jacket. Microphone. ANTIFA!!!!!!”

F this statement, “We kindly ask that privacy is given to Marc’s family during this time of grief.” He spent his professional career interfering with and getting into other family’s faces, so now others -should- do the same to his family.

He sure showed the libs by having happen exactly what people said would happen if he kept fucking around.

Chile fuck Madonna. She has said and done so many reprehensible things (calling her son, “my n-word”??/), that I’m not surprised she wasn’t top of Lizzo’s mind. Those stans will deal. People need to give Janet her flowers.

As a senior cis white male who hits this site several times a week to see if Michael Harriot has dropped some new wisdom — thanks, keep up the good work.

Maybe we need to clear up what white is: draw a line firmly in the sand, go “this is what American whiteness involves”, and have it be part of the writing style guides that govern reporting in this country. Because a large part of it is that too many fucking LOVE to parse out and selectively include/exclude/grace with…

I’m a white woman named Karen and I came to The Root to learn what I don’t know and to be faced with truths such as this. 100%. It absolutely is white people. All white people.

You nailed it: the media is afraid to bring up whiteness.

Straight off: being quiet is free. But taking a second to think about it - being quiet is free and could’ve gone both ways. Imagine having a really really REALLY shitty couple of months. Then imagine that there’s a person out there who fucking crushes it, does your thing but better, didn’t have a really really REALLY…

That’s unfair to Rodman. He was an NBA All Star with a wild personal life. But he always delivered on the court. Sha’Carri is on her way to becoming the next Azealia Banks.

Fraser-Pryce’s face as she walked past that interview was just golden.
