Wouldn’t it be closer to slavery to force women to carry out their pregnancies?

Boy, he really did Nazi that coming, huh?

I am speaking strictly on just being homeless in general. It sucks. It is fucking terrible and having a drug addict father and alcoholic mother didn’t help. Not knowing where you are going to sleep that night. Are we going over by the park with basketball court? Down by the river so no one will bother us? What about…

Land of the fee, home of the knave.

Welcome to any antique mall in Indiana.

Please flip a coin (for president) and stop this nonsense.

Shit like is is kind of insulting. Do we deserve better? Yes - and we would have better with a built up farm team, which we’re now building up to higher prominence. Will we vote for better? Absolutely. But the notion that Biden support numbers come from uninformed and lazy black voters is right out of the sour grapes…

When we don’t even get the less we settled for, it discourages asking for more...that we also won’t get. 

I love, Love, LOVE the Bay Area contingent of the Grand Negro Coalition for a lot of things, but one thing in particular has been wonderful over the past couple of years. Them dudes (Lynch and Coogler in particular) are not code-switching for y’all. The absolute joy in watching them cats (Gulf Coast, Nawlins, ATLiens…

Once again, a great bit of writing, Michael. While I haven’t previously been privy to the details of campaign pushback on articles written about their candidates, the Buttigieg camp’s parsing seems exhaustive, minute and excessive.

How did they fit that many Bret Stephenses into a pill bottle?

SCENE: A mostly black school district. Mahalia Jackson music plays quietly in the background. The classroom is dingy, the windows rain-streaked and filthy on the outside. An occasional clang comes from the radiators struggling to heat the room. An attempt has been made to brighten the classroom walls with posters of…

I really liked Latinx Obama.

I just want to thank you for your writing. I am a white woman and you provoke me. You make me think, you make me feel. The Root has many terrific writers and thanks to you all, I see things very differently than I did a few years ago before I began reading The Root. I can read authors like Robin Diangelo and learn…

People have mentioned this incorrect fact multiple times. No, there is no zero ‘clock and there is no year zero. Technically, a decade is ANY period of ten years but historically, decades begin with the year ending in zero and end in nine. The only example is the first decade, which technically began in the year 1 BC…

Honestly, I would have thought White People would be glad that the bulk of people of color turn to snark, shade and for the older set, the church and Jesus to cope with their systematic racism which by now is built into the very foundation of the societies they have established over the years, often built by the slave…

I live within clapping distance and have gone to many of the Community meetings.

#Lizzo popular is because there is an obesity epidemic in America.
