Then why are YOU here?

Thank you for everything I could ever want from an article on The Root, I hope that you can continue to provide us with gems like this

You dont have to convince me, no rational person can just dismiss the steady amount of smoke that has arisen from these accusations and say theres no chance of a fire. I just......got fooled like many, Im not usually the type but everyone has blind spots

Honestly my post was referring more to her comments about R. Kelly’s music not being related to his crimes. I feel like a wishy washy child but I honestly dont know what to make of the accusations against Michael. I grew up with his music, I watched the Moonwalker and Thriller VHS tapes thousands of times, I know that…

Really?

The type of people who think LGBT people are exaggerating discrimination against them are going to forever point to this as justification for their bigotry

Whyyyyyyyy are black entertainers always tryna show off their ignorant side?

What part of my statement are you referring to?

We as black people need to deal with our homophobia but all this nonsense has done is given those who need to change the most an excuse to continue not doing so

Seriously what the fuck is your problem? I get it, you want me to say that pitbulls can be potentially dangerous if they’re not raised correctly. Guess what? You can say that about any fucking breed of dog , you sound like white people who claim they aren’t racist but who like to point to crime statistics as evidence…

I was gonna be an adult and just ignore you but you really seem desperate for me to reply so here it goes:

Why bother calling it a tragedy if youre just going to spend an hour and a half explaining why it allegedly had to happen? Do they actually think anyone that isnt already gagging on the cops’ dills buys these bullshit explanations? Trump is president, white folks out here saying ever more ridiculous shit, why bother…

What do you call anti-pit bull laws? Chihuahuas, dauschunds and Mini Pins are the most likely dogs to bite someone yet you never will see a law banning them

Every time I go to the dog park (4 dogs, 2 pits) at least a couple white people leave immediately

Ive got a zillion stories like that from HS and I still kick myself for tolerating it as long as I did, its reassuring to be reminded that youre not alone and I thank you greatly for it

Who said I want that to happen? Im not trying to “preach” anything (despite my screen name) Im just commenting on shit like everyone else

Normally I agree but one day someone is gonna do this shit to the wrong child and all hell will break loose. White men just “snap” over perceived injustices

Ive always been fascinated that a man who dresses like that is constantly bitching about "playing the right way"

These sports leagues are all trying to get young fans and the NBA is kicking their asses, theyre flailing

How long before some stressed out black mother gets pushed to her limit and sprays up a board of education meeting?  Lord knows I couldnt be a parent with shit like this going down
