Ha! He is just one of many that feel the need to tell us how they got this very specific pass. 

There was a white man commenter, who loved to tell us how he had a black wife and black son every chance he got, that said his black wife’s family gave him permission to say it. He was super proud to announce this to The Root community.

Even if he is, it’s good to bring awareness to this mess.

Here’s video of the cross-examination:

I just saw your post on TSB. I’m so fucking happy you made a post like that at length because I’ve been wanting to discuss that very topic. However, my cannabutter is kicking in and I must sleep. What I would like you to do is make a specific “Story Type” for what you just posted and then tag your post with it. This…
