Senior Editor @ The Root, boxes outside my weight class, when they go low, you go lower.
The NFL has suspended Dallas Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott for six games after Tiffany Thompson, Elliott’s ex-girlfriend and alleged domestic violence victim, claims she was abused by Elliott. Here’s everything we know:
Clearly it isn’t a courageous move by CEOs to abandon the president of white supremacy right after his off-the-rails white nationalist rant, but in a symbolic move, top corporate leaders have left the executive councils, forcing the president to end the groups altogether.
Senior communications adviser Hope Hicks has been temporarily promoted to White House communications director, and we all know that this assignment won’t last long—not necessarily because Hicks isn’t capable, but because defending the president is proving to be impossible.
When I was in the seventh grade, my dad gave me firm instructions to come home after school. My middle school was across the street from a mall, which meant that after school, everyone hung out, and my dad didn’t want me in the mall getting into trouble since a group of kids had been caught stealing. One day, I came…
On Saturday, 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed after authorities say a white nationalist slammed his car into a group of protesters rallying to combat hate. It took the president some two days to come out against the group of people whose tiki-torch-laced march led to the death of Heyer and the injuries of several…
Thank God for the stereotype of the violent black man, not because it’s accurate or because it’s deserved, but because there are people who believe that all black men are violent. As a result, those of us who can’t fight can rest, or coast, on the laurels of those of us who can.
Looks like the prince of white nationalism might be out of his job as the breaker of black backs and the whisperer of white supremacy. If reports are to be believed, President TrumPutin’s chief political strategist and former executive chairman of Breitbart News, Steve “Papa” Bannon, may be out of the White House by…
President Trump has always been a racist and a supporter of white supremacy. So when the president gave his carefully crafted speech denouncing white hate some two days ago as the torch-wielding race rally left one woman dead and several injured, the only people who were moved by the speech were white supremacists.…
Who are we kidding? Attorney General Jeff “King Keebler” Sessions’ federal investigation into the torch-wielding white supremacist march on Charlottesville, Va., is going to be an inconclusive waste of resources and efforts.
The lone victim killed during a peaceful counterprotest against white supremacist hate during the Charlottesville, Va., rally Saturday has been identified as Heather Heyer.
In today’s water-is-wet news, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.)—arguably one of the realest to ever do it—told guests gathered at Netroots Nation conference on Friday that the “Republican Party today is the party of racism” and former President Abraham Lincoln wouldn’t kick it with these racists.
While free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick is still without an NFL home for his protest against the killing by police of unarmed African-American men, women and children, he still has at least one NFL supporter.
Donald Trump just won’t shut the hell up. Seriously. He won’t stop trying to get America into a nuclear war with the most unstable leader in the world. In fact, Guam—Guam, of all places!—is currently being threatened because the president won’t stop talking, or tweeting.
The media needs to stop trying to break up President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump gave Putin his final rose, and at this point they have a miniature poodle named Flynn and a Prius they share.
Sacramento Kings forward Zach Randolph was arrested Wednesday on a felony charge of marijuana possession with intent to sell. Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department were called to the Nickerson Gardens projects in Watts because residents were allegedly blocking a street while playing loud music and smoking…
So, last month Michael Vick fell into the sunken place after he took his black ass on Fox’s FS1 and made all kinds of respectability-politics comments about Colin Kaepernick’s gloriously fluffy Afro.
I’m not going to lie—I miss Anthony “Mucci Mane” Scaramucci. Sure, he was only in the White House as communications director long enough to microwave a Hot Pocket, but man, what a fantastic run he had. But at least Mucci Mane hasn’t gone into hiding; in fact, he won’t stop talking—or tweeting, as the case may be.
On Wednesday, a 30-foot inflatable chicken with a sweet comb-over flew high above the south side of the White House. Pretty soon, #ChickenTrump was trending on Twitter.
America’s last hope for a presidential do-over is being led by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, and he’s not playing: FBI agents raided the home of Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, last month.
I wish this were a joke. Seriously, I wish that the president of the White Walkers wasn’t this shallow and embarrassing, but according to a Vice News report, this dumbass has a folder full of positive cable news clippings, articles, interview transcripts, tweets and even “photos of Trump on TV looking powerful”…
