Wont someone PLEASE think of the poor dead pimps?

Not necessarily the trait though, while testing for black american kids is supposed to be a given we all know how the medical community treats us

No argument there, I have the trait as well and the only time Ive ever pushed myself so hard I had a sickle crisis was in the middle of a brutal Cleveland winter. But from what I can recall the majority of the athletes with trait that have died during training were doing so in very hot conditions

Cant get Congress to do shit on gun control but they cant stroke their hard-ons over e-cigs fast enough......makes sense

Its the internet for sure. As someone who was bullied to the point of being suicidal for the majority of my childhood it terrifies me to think how I would have dealt with it magnified by the internet. In 7th grade some kids took the chance presented by an assignment in our computer class to create a newsletter about…

Pretty much every sports-related Sickle Cell Trait death has been during extreme workout conditions i.e. two-a-day football practices in August heat. 

I thought Robin Thicke was white, why is this story on The Root?

I cannot imagine the bliss that comes with possessing Old White Man Hubris

I guess Im anti-damn near anything not black because you can insert pretty much any marginalized group thats not black and they do the same shit to black people.

Its funny how quick some Jews are to hop on any perceived opportunity to be offended (especially by black people) and will be QUICK to act like we should feel solidarity with them but they could give a fuck less about bigotry against anyone but their own. As for LeBron (or any other gamous black person) he should know…

Why in the fuck is anyone still on Facebook?

Hip hop has been infested with trash men for a long time but at least there used to at least be attempts to appear thoughtful and intelligent. Now it seems like youre immediately labeled old and/or a hater if youre not fawning over a bunch of pillheads Autotune moaning over trap beats about opiates and diamonds.

While Im in no rush to see Serena end her dominance I think it will be hilarious to see how much interest in women’s tennis drops off after she retires, these stuffy white folks oughta be shining her and Venus’ shoes

Why are so many famous black men so eager to broadcast to the world how trash they are? That little niglet shouldve been cancelled about 8 years ago but we clearly have a hoarding problem because we stay clinging to trash human beings

This planet isnt overpopulated at all, rich people are just hoarding an inordinate amount of resources and creating artificial scarcity

He finished cooking himself with the “If I hug you I might want more” creepiness (anyone else get a flashback of a creepy uncle/deacon/etc when you read that line?) but really the whole thing is garbage. This man is one of the smartest human beings on the planet and he cranks out that barely coherant word salad? It…

I quit almost 5 years ago and I literally havent missed a thing, its only as invasive as it is because people want it to be the center of their socialsocial universe

I did 3rd and 4th grade in one school year and my 4th grade teacher was a black woman (Ms. Lavender) and she is the only reason I was able to deal with the bullying I got. And she was the one who pulled me aside and told me I needed to start wearing deodorant, no way in hell a white teacher wouldve done that

Thats really more of what I meant, the fact that he not only hasnt been shunned by other artists but its seems like beating the hell out of Rihanna and being a psychopath has only served to provide him publicity in between albums. But why would I be surprised when someone like Dr Dre can become a billionaire after…

Why does this man still have a career? I mean, I KNOW why, but goddamnit this shit is still embarrassing and infuriating
