6 of 15. So over half of the positions went to whites but that’s not enough.

Has anyone considered that maybe this is just one big act between him and Kim to keep their names in everyone’s mouth?

It’s a sad situation, but he was responsible for his own death. If we are going start drug dealers when someone overdoses, we should be charging store owners who sell cigarettes or alcohol to people who die of lung or liver cancer. 

If someone has a severe food allergy, they should never go to any fast food type place that sell items containing the particular allegiant. Otherwise, they are putting their life in the hands of low-wage, often teen, workers at businesses with an order rate. The man should have known better. I can’t count the number…

No, it’s not hard to eat at home all of the time. It’s inconvenient and time consuming.  Millions of people do it every day because they have no other option.

Yes, there are far more black people in Brazil than there are in the US

Well, he’s listed as one of the founders of this particular festival so a lot of it will be on his head. Now, I know that a lot of times, these artist are only actually licensing their name when it comes to business ventures and are not actually involved with the management of anything, but having your name as a…

I’ve never gone to those types of festivals, but when this story first broke, my first thought was didn’t he get fined in the past for encouraging this type of behavior. I remember reports.  If so, he’s done. 

I think this is a bad idea. It’s part of history. The only reason the state of Alabama would consider this is so that it can pretend that certain events never occurred. 

I’m sick of black people saying “our communities” as if there aren’t plenty of gay and trans people in black communities. 

Dan supposedly ended the his TV show and walked away from a huge amount of money because he realize that white people were laughing at him and not with him. I think because of that he thinks it puts him on a higher plane with him thinking that he’s a far deeper thinker than he really is.  

That’s not an handful; that’s a lot 

Why? When people show you who they are, believe them. He’s just trying to save his coin. I’m disappointed in these folk for meeting with him

Yes, the Trumpers are ignorant, but there are also quite a few blacks spreading misinformation also. Considering that black communities had the greatest proportion of deaths, this has basically gone unreported by black media such as the Root. Yes, the Trumpers are ignorant,

I’m not sure how I feel about this. First, most black people will not get the day off unless they are a government/civil service employee or work for a bank. Service workers, factory workers, warehouse workers, etc. barely get Thanksgiving and Christmas off so you know they will not be getting off for Juneteenth. More…

Because most black people will not get the day off unless they are a government/civil service employee or work for a bank. Service workers, factory workers, warehouse workers, etc. barely get Thanksgiving and Christmas off so you know they will not be getting off for Juneteenth. Additionally, if we want something just…

They pay for the same reason people watch reality TV. They aren’t interested in actual talent, just drama. 

In a world with the UFC and mixed marital arts, boxing is becoming irrelevant. It’s going to become like wrestling - all spectacle, no real sports - just to survive. 

The shorter style looks better on her. She should keep it that way

Pushing stories like this actually harm our cause because it makes it look like we are just looking for stuff to whine about especially with all the real racist issues that we are facing. I am so disappointed that the Root bothered with this non-story. Actually, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. This just adds…
