When you hang with trash, expect to smell like garbage.

I’d love it if Yellen did have time for Cardi B.

Does she have time for Dr. Richard Wolff? Because he’s been talking about the shit state of the economy including how corporate greed is jacking up prices and he has the educational pedigree the yammering class eagerly suck off.

Strippers could definitely speak to how comfortable people feel spending disposable income vs saving it. I know the default is to treat celebrities like they’re idiots, but Cardi isn’t wrong overall even if she missed some detail.

Now, if this was a movie... The next scene would be a television screen that is featuring a CNN segment about the America’s recession.

I am all for the function of comics in the grand scheme of thing, as they are often truth-tellers that we need, but they should know that they are not above reproach. That Rock and Chappelle ran into this just weeks apart just means that the subjects of their comedic barbs were no longer amused.

I thought the same thing. I love Taraji, but it is kind of ironic she pulls out the Emmett Tills card. Jussie made it harder for all POC and LGBTQ people to be taken seriously reporting crimes against their person. Just like women who falsely report sexual crimes are thrown up in women’s faces.

I’m very much over upholding and co-signing peoples lies, foolishness,criminal activity and outright delusions just because they’re black. Emmett Till was very much a victim of racists and a racist society, Jussie Smollett is a victim of his delusions and over inflated ego. Not only did he hurt himself, he’s thrown a…

Smollet made it harder for future Emmett Tills to be taken seriously because his attempts to branch out from a fading television show were failing. He abused an already tenuous hate crime legal structure to maintain his celebrity status with the worst hoax since Tawana Brawley.

Taraji P. Henson invoking Emmett Till? Yikes, shameful; this coming from one of my favorite Black actresses in Hollywood. But her reaction is representative of a kind of madness, confusion and denial now widespread in the Black community where no one is held responsible or accountable, be it our politicians, clergy,…

They haven’t had fewer wars; they just took them to someone else’s house.

But Joe Rogan was being “consc iously racist”! Why is there even a doubt  about that? What else, in context, was he being? Smdh

She should say “so does that mean there is an opening at Coachella?”

Why would anyone be surprised or confused by Kanye? Dude has been a shithead for the longest while. Wish TheRoot would stop promoting and reporting on the jackass!!

I hope Eilish doesn’t apologize, Coachella stands by Eilish, Kanye flounces on Coachella, nobody cares that he isn’t there, and Kanye finds out where he really stands with audiences in 2022.

This news has got me feeling my mortality because Ms. Guinier and Anita Hill’s characters and careers being assailed came right when I was entering the adult workforce (in the federal government too) bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I felt the unfairness of what happened to them both deeply and personally but still felt…

befuddled is too kind

I’m sorry for your loss, but we just can’t risk Floridaosis spreading.

I do have family in Miami so I’d like to get them out.
