Dead at “Coco Montrese/Alexis Michelle Memorial Sixth Place ‘Why exactly are you still here?’ Spot.”

I feel really bad for Eureka because it’s so clear that she’s only back so the production company can avoid a lawsuit. That cheerleading challenge was insanity.

I’m talking about a piece on intersectionality and the burden Black women carry in doing the heavy lifting in activist work. Clearly, you won’t read it if/when it’s written. But, how dare anyone do anything but shut up.

I hear you.

I’m simply wondering the same thing. Everyone I know is talking about it, it’s on twitter and in the comments of Bossip. However, god forbid the Root - known for solid Black coverage - even consider the discussion.

By all means, let’s expect writers on this site to have every nuanced discussion about police murdering this Black man and how that is a function of white supremacy. But, let’s not wonder whether the same site that constantly posts discussion-prompting, layered pieces on current events will incorporate the victim’s…

Uhhh.... perhaps I’m too old to understand gif replies, but... ok?

Why are you replying that to me? I think you meant that for the piece’s writer.

The folks who are full-time or freelance at the Root can do their research just as you can as well.

Is the Root going to do a piece on Mr. Clark’s disdain for Black women, specifically dark-skinned Black women who are holding the state accountable for his life?

Remember when (I think it was) AJ Johnson said all Black women in entertainment have had nose jobs except Whoopi? I may be misremembering this, but people went in on whoever the commenter was big time.

So funny you say this. My cousin said the same thing about Michael Jackson’s vitiligo. She used to say okay, fine, you have vitiligo so some of your skin is white and some of it is brown.

I have never heard of that in my life until right now.

I was like... what the hell was that question? Talk about either a logical fallacy or a loaded question. I always get those confused.

My friends and I were waiting to cross the same street he was, but we were on opposite sides of the intersection. He was with two people, a man and a woman, and was screaming at this woman as he walked by us. He then walked ahead of her, caught up with his little crew once they got to the other side and then loudly…

I saw him being a dick to his friends in New York at the height of Scrubs. His behavior on Punk’d was absolutely who he was.

He’s gotten better looking as he’s gotten older, but his teeth are... uh. He needs to not let people see his teeth when he’s talking.

You’re spot on.

Are you me? I don’t know Detroit spots, but everything else you wrote was me to the T.

Everyone always forgets The Color Purple yet, for Black folks, it’s totally iconic.
