I will honestly be surprised if there isnt an attempt on a state or federal legislator’s life by the end of the 2020 elections.

I hate that I am the cynical type but I just hope he and his family have the security they need at home and elsewhere, I cant imagine these changes will be well received by cops

Ive never been to a Wal-Mart that didnt have cameras covering most if not all of the parking lot, if this was a white girl theyd have had satellite images of the whole fucking area within hours

They had a 1 year old child with them, what good is gonna come out of that child watching the cops show up and shoot his parents?  We cant fight this shit if we're all dead

RGIII’s knee turning to pixie dust had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with the Redskins allowing him to play on the worst field Ive ever seen an NFL game played on let alone a playoff game. IIRC a Seahawks defensive lineman blew his knee out because of the field. And as KC notes its not normal to have 2o…

At this point I truly dont have any other explanation other than American law enforcement is purposely trolling minorities (and blacks in particular because its always us on the bottom of this shit) in order to prompt us to riot so marshall law gets declared and they can just mow us down with impunity and I think most…

That might be the most spectacular display of the difference between being white and black in America Ive ever seen. Thaat one cop towards the end that walks right by both of them and didnt even look over at them probably was hoping dude would stab him. And how in the fuck do you stab someone and get taken to not one…

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

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…

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

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…
