i don’t think all (or even a majority of) black people hold those beliefs, but the root carries more than enough water for those who do by using qualifying language for a bigoted, conspiracy-laden film as “some people might find offensive” and reacting to someone quoting hitler with “Hopefully, Jackson learns from…

is mavis beacon a boss in this game?

corporate sponsorship in sports is much more prevalent outside of the US. Japanese pro baseball teams are often referred to by the owning company’s name.

waiting on the root’s nuanced take on this. something along the lines of “we can tell she has racist hate in her heart and KNOW what was in her mind at the time”. You know, like when someone on “their team” goes full-on anti-jewish bigotry...wait a minute

Pretty fucking low bar to clear in not going full hysterical “See?! she’s racist too!” pile-on for the clicks, and they just barely cleared it (see also roseanne like a week ago)

In fairness they did explain the plausible explanation that’s not “she’s a racist doing blackface” and not run with the initial impression that will generate those sweet, sweet outrage clicks (see also roseanne sarcastically denying the holocaust)

Saw the photo and assumed it was a modified 325i or a coupe that was chopped up into a convertible. Factory E30 M3 drop top?! Honestly, the rarity of convertible spec and it not being a coupe probably cancel each other out value-wise. Pretty close, but ND

I think this article hits the nail on the head, but citing diddy dropping the vocal track from a police song as unique sampling is charitable. Worth noting that plenty of artists are not aware of what they’re sampling or that it’s sampled when a song goes through layers of producers/songwriters before the artist ever…

i feel like this is something cuno would have called dubois

This seems troubling given they also ruled in the mail carrier case that employers must accommodate religious stuff (like not working on sundays). So claiming “deeply held” religious values = do whatever the hell you want as an employee or service provider and the government has your back? Is FSM 501c3 yet?

her body language was aggressive...from 30 ft. away. Don’t people typically get applauded for “taking a righteous stand” when it’s an issue they agree with/are affected by?

Pretty bizarre for adams to call someone advocating for tenants a plantation owner. Watched the tape and it feels like a mix of cop-talk “respect mah authoritah” and black godwin’s law in the face of knowing you’re in the wrong

why does austin butler look like lex luthor jesse eisenberg covered in baby powder

crazy that both sides of the media are currently running hysterical headlines and are taking a short, out of context clip at face value for both roseanne and the lgbtq “we’re coming for your children” things. we’re so screwed

There’s a bigoted element in black society that messes around with those ideologies as much as there is in white, middle eastern et al. Different angles or motivations for believing it I suppose, but it is hardly a black thing.

It’s a pretty small religion to start with and doesn’t really have a “recruiting” (evangelical) apparatus to grow

What do you call someone who illegally sneaks smegma across borders? A smeg smuggler.

here we go Depp-Heard 2.0! Everyone go to your respective ideological corners and put your blinders on and earplugs in

Anyone remember the person from the obama administration who gave a speech about how she overcame her own racial biases (she’s black), then conservatives in bad faith spread a 10 sec clip of her talking about her thoughts before she was enlightened, then she got fired?
