I didn’t say that The Root as a publication has never covered those dudes. This article, specifically, has these lines: “What do all these men have in common? [Being white, right? -Me] ... All I can say is that no one has accused Spike Lee of beating off into potted plants. You might fault former President Barack…

Did you really read the line “All I can say is that no one has accused Spike Lee of beating off into potted plants” and not think of Bill Cosby? I’m not here to defend the Trumps and Murphys and Weinsteins. Fuck them. But this article makes it out like white people have some sort of monopoly on sexual assault, and…

Uh, wow. You really assigned a lot of motivations and things I didn’t say to me. I’m aware that The Root is a site that offers black people’s perspective; I find it valuable and I read a lot of the stuff here regularly — apparently in ignorance of the rule that I’m not allowed to read this because I’m white? Or I’m…

Not to be all “white” and stuff, but your whole little thing about Trump’s pussy grabbing and Weinstein and Murphy kind of blatantly ignores the similar actions of dudes like Bill Cosby, Usher and R. Kelly. As far as sexual transgressions go, it’s more of a male thing than a white thing.

Literally the thing I said is that the argument against the rats is not just that they’re making life hard for some bugs. You’re being intentionally dense.

It’s not just to reintroduce a bug species. The rats are a problem for other reasons — not just there, but all over the world.

I really don’t think we should be making snap judgments here.

If I had the bandwidth, I’d set you straight on this one.

Yeah, a lot of these seem to fit more readily into the categories of “terrorism” and “state-sponsored murder,” but I still have to give the author credit for introducing me to these brutal moments of American history that have been glossed over in our collective education.

This is absolutely ridiculous, Barry... no one is ever set at RB.

No Chrono Trigger? Fuck this shit.

You wrote this. You for sure wrote this. This is a thing you wrote. You said, “I will write this,” and no one told you not to, so you did. And now here it is.

He is different. He doesn’t take money from corporations. He has a long track record of fighting for civil rights and women’s rights. He’s far more honest than any other prominent politician in America. He actually cares about people, and he shows it. Not all of his ideas are the alpha and the omega, but that’s…

Bernie Sanders has one of the lowest net worths in all of the Senate, if not the lowest, at about $800,000. If he chooses to own three houses (although you’re stretching the definition of “houses” here to include a condo in D.C as well as his eventual retirement home), that just makes him a savvy investor who’s…

I don’t think you should judge it by a two-year-old video. Tech can get refined quite a lot in two years.

Because it’s common black wisdom that it isn’t the one roach you see, but the hundreds you don’t.

Who’s LaVar Bell?

Yeah, I’m in Delaware right now, which is red on that map, and it’s actually a bit chilly.
