This guy has a problem. There’s the latest groping incident. Before that there was the Sarah Paulson incident. Then there was that time he got frisky with those girls in Miami. Then there was that time he made “Boat Trip.” This guy must be stopped.

I applaud you for not saying “show me the money.”  Too easy.

Get out of here with your facts! Nobody wants that here. This is the Root. Just say something about white people loving mayonnaise, and then move along. What. The. Fuck.

“I believe something more sinister is going on here.”

I agree with the sentence “This is why black people look like themselves longer,” but not the idea that we look younger than white people. I’ve always felt that a lot of black people looked much older than their age by the time they reached adulthood. A lot of black people in their twenties look like they’re in their…

I’m responding to you to let you know that your response was not worth responding to. It barely made sense. You clearly don’t know what “crocodile tears” means. And your closing sentence was just plain nonsense.

“It is a matter of language being affirming of the identity of someone else.”

I had to google “concern troll,” as I’d never heard the term before. The internet can’t seem to agree on a single definition; however, none of those definitions describes what I’m doing here. Having a different opinion doesn’t make me a troll.

“is anybody really clamouring for a “they” for trans people?”

It’s weird that we put the faces of any people on our money. It’s what we use to buy food and clothing—why the fuck do we need to bring Alexander Hamilton or Abraham Lincoln into the transaction? 

It’s hilarious the way people try to rewrite the biographies of celebrities and historical figures to suit their needs. The Notorious B.I.G. was all about spreading love? Give me a fucking break. He was a bad guy. He stood for almost nothing good.

I didn’t hear any compelling arguments from Mock. Just some talk about feelings.

Let’s talk about the problem with pronouns.

The Root prefers the word “child” because it makes it sound so much worse. It’s purely propagandistic. They do it all the time. It’s not just them, though. A lot of media outlets pull this shit.

I’ve only found one video of Toronto police arresting a suspect who had a machete. They tackled him to the ground. A reporter asked the officer if he hit him hard, and the officer’s exact words were, “Yeah, I had to. In that brief moment, I had to go quickly and hard.”

How do you know that they knew him to be unarmed? Was that even established at this point? As far as I can tell, all we have is the suspect saying that he’s unarmed. Are they just supposed to take his word for it?

“You need 20 cops with rifles and shotguns to ‘detain’ a young man...”

“The woman in the clip says loudly “THEY KILLED MY BOYFRIEND.” for what? I mean her story needs to be told as well.”

“Please let me know how this was resolved.”

“No doubt about it, she saved that brother’s life.”
