Yup. The Maw needs a constant supply of fresh meat.

Exactly!

There’s nothing at all alternative about the Root. It is a thoroughly mainstream/corporate publication. It just caters to a specific audience, the Black professional/liberal class.

Let’s keep it funky. Jay sold out waaaayyy before the NFL deal. I mean, you don’t become a billionaire by sticking by your morals and principles. Unless, of course, those principles are capitalist.

At this point her endorsement means nothing to Bernie because she’s already served her purpose. Se might as well endorse Biden now because she already did the DNC’s dirty work. Fuck Elizabeth Warren! She chose her side.

He’s a child. I won’t wish any ill will on a child no matter who his parents are.

I’m sorry, but did you not read the part about the crime lab technician intentionally sabotaging results and stealing drugs? She was later convicted. Harris tried to hide it. If that’s not misconduct then what is? Is that not proof enough for you?

If Trump and his absolutely wretched family (minus Barron) and his ghoulish administration and cronies were to contract coronavirus, and if, at the same time, Jair Bolsonaro, his equally wretched family and ghoulish members of his administration became infected with the virus as well, then I will have to rethink this…

You’re so busy trying to win an argument that you’re not seeing the big picture. Let’s set aside the question on Mosby because she is not the focus here. I just used her as an example. I don’t want to talk about what the AG has power to do because that’s only a minor pillar to the argument I was making. Let’s focus on…

See, now you’re just picking gnat shit out of pepper. I live in Baltimore. I know what the laws are. Despite being decriminalized, Black people were still disproportionately cited for marijuana possession. Mosby used her discretion as AG to stop doing that. The same way Kamala Harris used her discretion as AG to not…

No discretion, huh?

Joe Biden has dementia and no one in the Dem leadership wants to admit it.

Harris wasn’t just a prosecutor, she was DA of San Francisco and California AG. She had discretion on who to indict and prosecute. A prosecutor’s job is to seek justice, not blindly follow the law. Some of the things she did or didn’t do as DA and AG are simply unforgivable and some of the things she did are…

So Black folk in SC vote Dem because “that’s just the way we do things down here”? Great strategy! The fact that people down there look out for one another has absolutely nothing to do with a political party. If every black person in SC switched to the Green Party tomorrow would people stop treating each other the way…

Before reporting on anything related to national security, The Times and The Post run the story past the CIA and State Department to make sure they don’t ruffle any feathers. Does that sound like an objective source to you? That article was written in defense of Clinton’s support for the Crime Bill. News sites are…

Did I not say the the policy was pushed by token negro apparatchiks like Clyburn? And even if you disregard the flaws inherent in polling and how polls can manipulated, The Times isn’t exactly an objective source.

I’m becoming increasingly disappointed in the writing at the Root. I mean, I’ve never come here for actual news, more so entertainment. But I’ve also come to realize that they have a sizable following and they repeatedly fail to advocate for policies that would actually help Black people. This is a decidedly…

The “Black folks wanted the Crime Bill too” talking point needs to die a horrible death. It’s true that Black folks wanted a solution to the crime plaguing the communities in the 80's and 90's. What they didn’t want is to lock everybody up forever. That’s a lie pushed by the architects of the bill (Biden, CLinton, et a…

I agree with everything you posted except for two things:

Everything she had to say about Assange was already said in her trial. It’s all on record. There is no new information to be gleaned from her testimony.
