I’m sorry, why the fuck should I? The fact of the matter is that no one on that team thought that this girl’s dignity was worth leaving that field and I still think that if it were a white girl her tears would have meant something. The fact that a mostly Black team hasn’t had it instilled in them that their teammate’s…

You think Black people are incapable of aiding and abetting white supremacy?

More like the kind of team that sees their Black teammates dignity as expendable. I bet if it were  a white girl put in that position they’d be talking about walking off that damn field.

So we’re coaching our still-maturing high school students to believe that outdated, racist views on hair are fine as long as you win this game, right? This was a prime opportunity to teach the importance of standing up for one of their teammates. All for one; one for all. She was willing to endure cutting her hair for…

Came to say this. What kind of “team” would stand there and watch this take place? Coaches? Parents? I can’t believe they’d allow it instead of telling the umpire to GTFO. They should’ve left and called the TV news with the story, including the umpire’s full name and info. 

That is some fucking horseshit. Her whole team should have walked off the field.

“Most of us agree that what was said in the store was deeply offensive and disgraceful,” Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University told AP, “but the First Amendment is designed to protect unpopular speech.

I suppose if every time a white person said that word and got the shit beat out of them the court would have to come to the conclusion that is is in fact a fighting word.

“The scheme reportedly jumped off in September 2016...”

I wonder what would compel them to think they had carte fuckin blanche to run around extorting people in 2016? Who could it be that emboldened them that they thought they could get away with terrorizing people of color? What symbol of supremacy did they have where…

He needs to be in prison until he dies, and then they need to revive him — something George Floyd couldn’t experience — punch him in the face and let him do another stretch.

Gender blind casting, man. You know. A pig is a pig. It’s not like the women ones wear skirts. Just hand him a gun and misplaced sense of his own importance and collect the Oscar.

Who claims I didn’t empathize with Symone Sanders? All I did was point out a potential reason it might not have been her first up (which is rich: you going up my ass over not being 110% all in for a woman who one believes got got by two old ass white men whose careers are older than her). And who am I agreeing with -…

Hmm... sigh.

Seriously, please tell everyone what is being done to stop these colonizers (specifically Bill) whose sole purpose is to ungrey the rando racists who want to delegitimize The Root as a space for Black folk to read and exchange ideas relative to our experience by 1) being first to comment inanely on every post, 2)…

Thank you for your service! <3

1) Not a black male, you really enjoy slapping a dick on me when we don’t align. Maybe it’s my user name? I enjoyed the 8-Bit Theater web comic and playing the Black Mage in Final Fantasy/FF Tactics... mages can be women too...

John Oliver and his crew do their homework every week. Same cannot be said about the other lazy-ass, ignorant, clown-ass, Ann Coulter platforming, hateful old man on HBO on Friday night.

John Oliver nailed it! He had me cheering and laughing.

...so he was supposed to forget her tour as Bernie Sander’s press sec? Nothing against that position - she rocked it. But it comes with the stench of association to Brie Brie and the more... arduous... elements of the 2016 primaries, never mind her working her ass off for Biden in 2020. The same nutjobs who think VP…
