That’s not true. Some excerpts from Gallup’s website regarding this particular type of poll, the Gallup Poll Social Series:

“Every other goddam rock song was about heroin or coke.”

For all you know, he’s just an old fart making fun of people who flash gang signs in photos. He might not be aware what that hand gesture means to some people. Knowledge of this hand gesture is not as widespread as the Root would have you believe. I’ve been asking a lot of people about it lately—black, white, Latino, y…

To be fair, Kentucky is a very white state. Even if the pardons were proportional to the population, they’d still be overwhelmingly white at 87 percent. 

The response to Chuck Todd’s mistake is unfair. There’s no reason to view this as an incident of a white person struggling to tell black people apart.

I’m all for pushing the idea of a black Jesus, even though it’s nonsense. If the idea of a black Jesus became widely accepted, fewer white people would worship him. And as white people go, so goes the nation. An America in which Christianity no longer dominates? Sign me up!

I think Old White Guy is taking a break from pretending to be an old white guy.

“...Lincoln himself said in 1860: ‘I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races...’

I’d argue that we’re underrepresented in that category not because the Academy has a problem with nominating women of color but because we don’t get enough good leading roles and, therefore, don’t get the opportunity to give many Oscar-worthy performances. Blame the studios for not greenlighting enough scripts with…

So basically Jay-Z needs to broaden his musical horizons. That list is pretty limited. 

“Me either”? And you’re a professional writer?

If I were a white Trump supporter, I would share this article and every Michael Harriot piece with everyone I know to ensure another Trump victory in 2020. They don’t get outside of the Fox News bubble often, but if they took a look at the what the other side was saying, and it went viral within their community, I’m…

I’m not sure it’s the smartest strategy. While it’s hard to predict how it will play out, I can imagine a scenario in which it could backfire on the Democrats.

Those are chimpanzees. Chimps aren’t monkeys.

That list is a joke, as are most lists of this type. They pander to young people of average taste, they focus exclusively on conventional pop music, and they’re less concerned with artistry and innovation than they are with race, sexuality, gender, body image, politics, etc... They clearly have a checklist in mind…

Yeah, that list is a joke, as are most lists of this type. They pander to young people of average taste, they focus exclusively on conventional pop music, and they’re less concerned with artistry and innovation than they are with race, sexuality, gender, body image, politics, etc... They clearly have a checklist in…

I hate it when those idiots say that people like you are “the real racists.” You’re not the real racists. You’re ALSO racists.

It’s pretty obvious what she’s doing. She’s trying to foment outrage around this so-called Golden Globes snub in hopes that it will pressure AMPAS into giving her an Oscar nom. It’s how we play the game these days. We’ll make a lot of noise about representation, and then the Academy will overcompensate by going…

“Black Refractions: Highlights from The Studio Museum in Harlem,” sounds like it might be a good read. The rest sound like a waste of time. We spend way too much time focusing on fashion, beauty, and celebrities. Enough with this nonsense.

“Trump said in his illiterate tweet-style of obnoxious and completely random capitalization...”
