I know the tone I convey; it’s the tone of being fed up with an idiot who can’t allow another person to express a contrary opinion without attacking my validity to express that opinion. Why are you so threatened by my supposed “sanctimony”? If you’re like most idiots I come across in my day to day life, it’s…

This is such a great heart-warming story in so many ways (well...the detention notwithstanding), and it shows what might happen to real lives in this country if we invested in people, housing, social programs...instead of police brutality!!

3 paragraphs too hard for your reading skills or attention span?

Who said I’m dying on a hill of indignation entirely over Jason’s sticker? (you, not me). I’m not dying on this hill, and the point I make is with regard to ALL “Calvin peeing on *blank*” stickers (hence why I said that in my original post and never once mentioned the Changli, Tesla, nothing...my post was about Calvin…

I so strongly dislike the “Calvin pissing on *blank*” stickers; I find it fundamentally incongruous with Calvin the character as written by Bill Watterson. Calvin was mischievous and imaginative; not vindictive and destructive, and if he ever was (like against Suzie, kinda) it became a theatrical production of…

Dude that “I’m a Georgia Voter” sticker has more value than the Presidential Medal of Freedom by a LOT these days. Thank you for voting in the face of this fascist BS!!

Great analogy with your friend “Luck” and his 30 Gallon fish tank...veeeery reminiscent of the GOP and their now-routine election theft strategies.

The Root: when you’re trying to tell the difference between white people who are performative allies, and white people who are genuine allies; Republican officials giving quotes to the press are more likely to the be the former, and people down here in the comments section saying our piece are more likely to be the…

Your views on SUVs aren’t wrong, but the X5 was a good car. 2001 also seemed to be a very strong year for BMW reliability in my anecdotal experience...aunt with 2001 325i went 300k miles no prob, just needed an alternator once around 180k, family friend’s 2001 X5 3.0i went 450k miles no prob. 2 for 2!

The first gen X3 started looking better once we starting seeing first gen X1s ><

Thanks for sharing. I hope The Root community look into the grays and see all these white allies they so often claim they can’t find. We’re here! We’re not perfect but please let us do what we can!

I went with the Cobalt side-located front license plate mount on my NA Miata. Even with a standard white/blue CA plate on a black car, it looks reasonably cool. Way better than stock and I’m happy to give the cops one less reason to pull over my rather janky looking crap rocket.

He’s named after and approves of Ayn Rand, one of the most profoundly stupid and angry human beings who has ever lived! Of course he’s a lost cause.

I see your take. When Biden said he would announce a woman VP, Abrams was immediately my first thought, followed by Warren. I think Biden himself is already the “moderate salve” to swing voters so I REALLY hope the democratic party doesn’t double-down on pleasing moderates by picking Klobuchar; it will alienate too…

You’re absolutely right that elected officials need to be held to account, but the war really starts in the suburbs where the white pearl-clutchers need to be taught that continually voting for police department funding increases when they already live somewhere safe, is a total waste of taxpayer dollars, and…

I just want to say WreckaStow, I’ve long been an anxious person, and often easily intimidated. Overturning the negative stereotypes that Michael says about white people (which BTW I TOTALLY see; I am 100% disappointed in most whites) is such an intimidating thing to do, I’ve always told myself today isn’t my day to…

So much agreement with this, but at the same time to sympathize with Michael and the Root: WHAT percentage of white dudes support Trump??? It is a distressingly high number!!

I read it and he raises lots of good points.
