I agree, I owe Trump the same respect he gives me. Yes, he campaigned on bigotry and for this he will never get my respect. And it is my hope that in 2020 he is voted out of office providing that he lasts that long.

I agree with the last paragraph... Ego is a problem always. It is also necessary that as a people it’s high time that we get our act together - let ignorance be a thing of the past.

You are spot on, the same claim I have made.

Thank you for the heads up. I should have done my research before commenting (something that I have always done, a missed opportunity). My comment was reactionary...I apologize for any assumption of it being faked that I may have had.

If this is a fake per other commenters, why did The Root allow this person to post this trash? I have been a subscriber of The Root for years, and I have always respected every author’s comment, even when I am in disagreement. If this is indeed a fake article, this person must be banned not only from The Root but…

This was a disgusting read, seriously, is the school for real? The person[s] who was involved in the preparation of the math quiz, I agree, should be fired, period, no dancing around this one. This was racist, period. Of all the other descriptions/illustrations that could have been used - why select one depicting a…

People that are paying attention and are honest brokers, should know by now that Trump is living in La la land. The guy is so much into himself that even when things that are supposed to be a disgrace, he sees it has a plus. The guy has a brain problem, frankly, he is demented. Obama likes him - Really? Give me a…

I watched the grammy’s and honestly did not know what to think, hearing Adele praising Beyonce. At one point I even thought it was a subtle mockery disguised to be real. But after a careful thought, even more so after reading this article it appears now very sincere to me. I agree that Beyonce should have won. This…

Geraldo has been a controversial figure for years, and at times swings wherever the pendulum is swinging. It is hard for me to believe that he is a racist, when he himself has suffered a lot, by being called various names by racists. Let me see, he has been called a spic countless times, even got into several fights…

Oh, yes, Tom Brady did skip the Patriots meeting with Obama in 2015 (citing prior engagement...Really?). For this alone, I think all the blacks on the team should skip Trump’s meet (yes, I am being biased). I did not pick the Patriots for several reasons, one, it had nothing to do with politics or if Brady and…

Bernie is not the issue and should not be an issue. There have been many who have been giving their inputs as to why Hillary lost the election. Bernie was an unknown commodity to most Americans. The Clintons have been known to many people for years. In actuality, Bill Clinton was once labeled the “First Black…

I am going to empathetically disagree with your analysis of Bernie. What Bernie has voiced has been voiced by several, unending. The truth is, many have given several different analysis of why Hillary lost, including myself. I believe she lost [primarily], as a result of Russia’s, Wikileaks and the FBI interference.…

The United States of America will be forever racist so long as we have people like Dylan Roof and States where close to the majority are racist.

There is no doubt that Trump is a disgrace. What is the difference between a “street thug” and “business thug?” Frankly, there is no difference. Politicians have been doing this for years - doing what supposedly? Tell us one thing to get elected and do another when they are in office. Only a few that have tried their…
