Glad he won. I hope he takes the money and uses it to move somewhere nicer.

Was reading about this on the local rag’s site. Couple more details:

If you want to raise your blood pressure even more, read the more detailed reporting in the Daily Oregonian:

If people think Portland is lily white, then you haven’t been out to the suburb of Lake Oswego, often called “Lake No Negros”, and it’s inferiority complex having next town over, West Linn. 

It’s pretty funny to think, that Trump is the longtime democrat who made the republican switch when the opportunity to grab power arose... and Bloomberg is the longtime republican who made the democrat switch when the opportunity to grab power arose.

I agree that Bloomberg was a Republican, and I would have said the same about voting for him if there was still such a thing as a Republican. Because Trump is not a Republican, and there is no longer any such thing as a Republican in the sense the term was understood prior to Trump’s nomination.

“As far as I’m concerned, he’ll be just as bad as Trump is, if not worse”

They’re both rich, old racists from NYC. As far as I’m concerned, the only difference is that one of them can speak in complete sentences

This whole thing is just bizarre for me. Like, first off, wasn’t it literally just last year that folks were dragging Gayle for not being deferential enough to the #MeToo movement? But the really weird thing is just how innocuous the question and follow-up was. I didn’t even blink when it was asked; she didn’t go too…

Snoop went overboard. He should apologize.

Remember when Snoop beat that murder charge? That was before some of his kids were born, so is that off limits? Snoop, sometimes discretion is the better part of valor, ESPECIALLY when you add nothing to the conversation. I know from experience.

The Kinja editor sucks shit through a straw.

Is Snoop going to keep riding Gayle like Dre did Dee Barnes and toss her down a flight of stairs and beat her up? Never heard Snoop say anything about how that was wrong, but no snitching right especially when it comes to rape or beating black women. Disgusted. Final thought Snoop vs Susan Rice make me want to be…

Assuming that happens, and if it does, at what cost? His children are being used as distractions to obscure the accused sex offender in the family FFS! It's disgusting.

The episode comes to an end after Clarke warns Berglund that he’s on camera and Berglund, as he’s exiting the car, replies, “Thank you so much. You got it on camera! Whoo-hoo, this is good. This is perfect.”

it might be best, nowadays, to assume you’re ALWAYS being filmed

I can’t believe I’m even deigning to acknowledge this, but I also can’t help but find it very interesting and telling that an article that was explicitly not about Kobe Bryant and only mentioned him (once) in a factual, yet passing manner, purely for context, has not only devolved into a discussion about Kobe and his…

Good point. This whole mess was caused when ol’ Herr Hans got upset by the words, “you can’t sit in the front seat.”.

Some of The Root’s frequent commenters are also known for defending the celebrities who bashed the likes of Gayle and Oprah for daring to question the wrongdoings of black men, just because.

I know this won’t ever be addressed, and I’ll probably get dragged for mentioning this at all, but this is one of the reasons…

“Did that fake ass [Michael] Jackson shit to tarnish his name with them lying ass kids and here she is with a known rapist smiling and laughing. Fuck u and Gayle. Free bill Cosby.”
