This case was publicized here as if the suspect was white, at first,  with a lot of anger about a racist attack. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Dept. has announced that this is not a hate crime, despite the suspect shouting “Go back to your country, go back to Mexico!” Where is the outrage that this is not being charged as…

Funny how The Root always highlights race when it’s POC victims and white attackers, and then casually and discreetly doesn’t mention the race of the attacker when they’re not white. you know well enough the majority of your readers assume they are white because of the general tone of your website.

Some of the commenters stated that Efron was being a cultural appropriator with comments like, “My lifestyle is not something you steal and pick up just for fun.”

As a New Yorker I must say to that tourist: Eat a dick and get the fuck outta my city you traffic-fucking-up, whiny, bitch-ass, asshole! Go find somewhere else to gawk up at buildings with no goddamn sense of self-awareness needed to get the fuck out of people's way. I hope someone gives you shitty directions and you…

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the…

Yeah I think it might be fake. That’s just not how white supremacists communicate.

That’s what I don’t get: Why is it automatically admirable to make sacrifices for any belief—doesn’t the belief’s accuracy or helpfulness/harmfulness matter? It seems that people only hold this attitude towards ideas when it comes to religion.

Real question: Why do you respect people for starving themselves for their faith? I don’t see why that act itself is worthy of respect.

“The main goal was to make Cosby uncomfortable because that is exactly what he has been doing for decades to women”

If you are a Black man, and you see and hear cops chasing you, and you run, you are either guilty, stupid, or you want to die. EVERY Black men in America know cops look for reasons to shoot us. And we ALL know America almost also finds cops not guilty after they shoot us. This is why those of us who are not guilty do…

That’s a convenient load of shit. Universal truths are bigger than self-serving rationalizations, and words don’t lose their meaning because it makes your hate go down smoother. Stay woke tho LOL.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting old, but I am a bit nonplussed by how nobody seems capable of just getting over shit anymore. These days, it seems, people need counseling and time to heal for every little infraction. Are people getting weaker or are the whiners getting louder? I have no idea.

I want to go to each of these fuckin’ crybabies’ houses individually and break one of their pinky fingers so they learn what it actually feels like when someone wrongs them.

“Euphoria, shut the fuck up! I know that was you! I ain’t even gotta look! I should send your ass back to Crenshaw Pete with his hot-ass coat hangers, bitch. Would you like that?”

Fogerty wrote it, and Creedence did it better. Tina Turner’s version is too fucking busy.

If you were the slave owner getting free labor would you still think it was bad?

God forbid we try to teach children everything about slavery instead of just saying it was bad and moving on.

I’m not saying it’s a hard question, I’m saying the way in which she asked it may have thrown him off, and that it’s not fair to judge his attentiveness to the cause on that.

Why shouldn’t women do the heavy lifting? They are the ones who want to change the status quo, not men.

Aaaaaand here it is, I was waiting for the inevitable article targeting a specific man for his response. And despite the fact that he may have been adequately prepared to discuss it, we’re just not going to mention how Spencer going “Time’s Up on....what?” like he’s three years old may have thrown him off?
