THANK YOU. MAN listen up yall. She dug an even deeper hole.

It really is. It’s like he’s bound-and-damned-determined to undermine the good work people are trying to do on the issue. You know how I know when someone is defending the indefensible? They just keep writing and writing and writing.

Ok. I have had chronic PTSD since I was a kid - several decades. Humor is honestly the only thing that kept me alive this long: the ability to laugh at myself and my life and make jokes about it to others (even through tears of pain), as well as seek out and laugh until I can’t breathe at wildly inappropriate comedy.…

Yep, just highlighted about that. It’s really problematic, and I think she showed that she really doesn’t get why her comment stung so many people.

You are doing exactly what you’re railing against. I’m sick-and-goddamn-tired of seeing some black people psyche themselves worryin’ about what some other mothefucker is thinking. People - black, white and otherwise - are rightfully speaking out against a bad, unfunny joke that’s actually more than just a bad, unfunny…

Nobody can do anything to me that I don’t allow.

“and that other woman who’s in every black movie but you wouldn’t recognize her name if I typed it anyway”

Yeah, that comment put me off as well. Her clarification isn’t helping her at all.

Nobody can do anything to me that I don’t allow.

hmmm, “Nobody can do anything to me that I don’t allow.” is how she “apologizes” to rape victims? implying that they weren’t acted upon violently, but that they “allowed” it to happen? ugh I so hate this attitude. not helpful. and no, just because you are “making a joke”, does not make it OK to say any and everything…

Seriously. I can’t believe Stassa is this naive. This isn’t about bipartisanship. What the Democrats are doing right now isn’t pandering to Republicans, it’s dividing to conquer. They’re saying “hey, non-batshit crazy, moderate Republicans, come work with us instead of President Cheeto, the fundamentalist Christians…

Schumer held together a caucus that ranges from Sanders to Manchin (a guy who literally shot the original ACA in an ad). But of course we need to find the negative in everything because we wouldn’t be Democrats if we weren’t always looking for something to complain about.

Thank you. The “Democrat Purity Test” is doing literally nothing to help our current situation and will only hurt us in 2018.

So you just want Democrats to do what exactly? Just sit back like Republicans did and take their ball and go home and refuse to do anything? Not govern? Not offer any solutions? It working out really well for the Republicans so far.

Schumer seems to think that bipartisanship is a possibility or, at least, the road Americans want Democrats to take.

I don’t know who these people are but who else is getting mad Blue Lagoon vibes?

And this is exactly why Beyonce took that picture with her twins and put it out there for free. So that no one would climb her fence to be the first to sell them to the tabloids.

The latter

In 2015, The Root Senior Editor Yesha Callahan found me wandering about the internet ranting about cookouts, wypipo and Black Lives Matter.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Michael.
