“Black professionals are far more ambitious in their careers than their white counterparts...”

Context needed. Notice that the caption says “Hail Byrd.” That’s the name of one of the course instructors. Maybe he was a humorless prick with an authoritarian teaching style, and the trainees referred to him as a “Nazi.” For all you know, the purpose of this photo was to mock that instructor and was not an…

Final score:

“A 2019 study that shows the city of South Bend spent zero dollars in city contracts with black-owned businesses.”

I promise you that’s just a stereotype promulgated by lazy thinkers and anti-white racists.

“In order for your Kardashian tree not to totally fuck the environment in the face you’d have to use if for 10 years!”

I’m already there. This is not the direction in which I was expecting her to go. She’s been nothing but a disappointment since “Lizzobangers.” I can’t even enjoy that album anymore knowing who she is now.

That’s not body positivity. It’s histrionic personality disorder.

Can we stop it with this “black girl magic” nonsense? That expression needs to die. It sounds like something a preteen girl came up with. I’m embarrassed for us when I hear other black people say this. Have pride in who you are...but at least try to sound like an adult when you do it.

I’m guessing they have an on/off switch to save battery power, the idea being that you don’t turn them on until you have to get out of your car to respond to an incident. Of course, this unfortunately allows a cop to turn it off whenever he or she wants. They should have a feature built into body cams that makes it…

What a dumb thing to say, pretend white guy. If they allow you to fly into their country and rent property, buy property, or check into a hotel, then the invitation is implied.

It’s official: the words “racist” and “troll” have lost all meaning. I’ve never said a single racist thing in any of my comments, and I don’t engage in trolling. I’m just a black woman who isn’t always in lockstep with the monolith. I find a lot of the views expressed by Root authors and commenters to be extreme,…

Interesting comments. I guess Root readers only care about blue lives when they’re black and the killer is white. But the rest of the time, the response from the Root crowd is “the only good cop is a dead one”...or something in the ballpark of that.

“We need you to be able to quickly write clean, accurate news stories...”

This article is bullshit, as are the clickbait pieces it used as sources. He didn’t call black women bulldogs, nor did he imply that they were. He was engaged in an Instagram argument, and he was taking a shot at the other guy’s wife. Then, instead of making an attempt to clarify what he meant, the media decided to…

“Even if that was Barney Fife’s suspicion, then why didn’t he immediately go to the security cameras? Why didn’t he ask to see the register transactions?”

My theory is this:

Nah. I’m sorry to tell you this, but those books legitimately sell well. Ordinary people buy them. (I don’t know if they actually read them, though. Maybe they just buy them because it makes them feel like they’re supporting the cause.) I’ve been in these people’s houses. Some are my neighbors. A few are relatives. Som…

“...May Be Rigged”

“This guy meant to leave — not to have a shootout — with no indication of intent to harm anyone.”
