I was relatively late to the dip game. Buffalo chicken dip is a good one with only like 4 ingredients. But I could bathe in Middle Eastern plain garlic dip. I know it’s just garlic, salt and oil but with pita bread brushed with butter and sprinked with Tajin seasoning before toasting, it transforms & can make a whole…

Too much white input and exculpation of racist brutality here.

I too, am fascinated by bears. But there’s no way I’d be as dumb as this group, the ones who thought the bear would patiently wait while they assembled the bread & peanut butter and the ones who thought it prudent to sit captive inside a picnic table while others fed the wild animal. So many ways this could have gone…

Police don’t need any MORE pay or MORE time off. They are, by and large, not college-educated, specially trained workers. The starting salary of ~$50k which increases to around $70k within 1-2 years or so is more than appropriate when you consider they are virtually layoff-proof and artificially inflate the need for…

The guy who did my gun training uses his vacation time to go to these cop&tactics trainings several times a year like camp! They have shooting competitions, treats like shooting with stolen military weapons and there’s always a classroom training on case studies folowing up on shootings and jury verdicts. The test is…

This is a perfect culmination of Inherent Bias playing out in savagery and brutality. When Black women are perceived as super strong, able to withstand more pain than white women, capable of giving birth multiple times with seemingly no prob, then you’ll have people who think we don’t require the ‘special’ care that…

They just HAD to include a Black dude at the end, didn’t they?! Juat couldn’t let any opportunity to align a Black face with drug addiction go by.

It was me, y’all. This hater of idiotic men, totally turned this fucker in. And I’ve been toasting an adult beverage to this burn every night.

Honey, this week has been psychologically the pits for me too! Between the Chauvin verdict and people celebrating like it means something and that poor foster child Ma’Khia (who reminded me of my last foster daughter’s half-sister who had almost the same thing happen with her and a knife) and all, I was a wreck! Then,…

I feel ya and have long-ago given up on the award shows. But the solution shouldn’t be withdrawing and just doing our own thing. Nobody is greenlighting Monique films cuz she won a BET award. It’s akin to all the people who’ve responded to my complaints about Corporate America telling me,”You should start your own…

Most stupid ass, weed-addled, unencumbered by education, derived from self-published screeds types of thoughts and discussions should be kept private.

If they didn’t give us their abs, at least, we’d be forced to look at their faces and the shapes of their heads!

That is insane! Thank you for that laugh!

I didn’t like Jodeci and never thought either K-Ci or Jojo could hold a sign that said ‘good looking’. But I had to admit that they CAN sing and Come and Talk To Me is a certified, unassailable J.A.M.

She got weary. After 2020, everyone should. I’ve also had to rethink my position on those mothers of murdered children who complained about the celebritization of the BLM leaders once I saw the MULTIPLE luxury homes being purchased by that one leader and her girlfriend/wife. Activists shouldn't have to subsist on…

Finally! It’s about time Blacks in positions of power started making the bold moves necessary to effect change! If we learned anything over the past three years, it should be to Just Do It (after much research, of course) and See If It Flies!

I’m sad about this young girl losing her life. As a former foster mother, I can imagine her life wasn’t the easiest up to this point. As someone who has always had people want to be fast friends and those who decided to be my enemy at first sight. So, I’ve had more than my share of fights. I’ve had gangs of girls…

Ms. Judge. Will you please explain a few recent phenomena: how are all these newcomers to The Root automatically out of the greys? Cuz, I’ve been here a while and can’t autopost on Jez. Also, does anyone look at the flagged posts and act on them?

You’ll find the vindictive oldsters at every City Council and other board meeting and the homebound ones are calling every city department reporting on any perceived ordinance infractions within their eyeline.

I’m with you that Popeye’s perfected something that only Chick Fil-A and Wendy’s did well. Wendy’s previous chicken iteration was most ubiquitous and best with bacon and honey mustard only. I don't know what they've done with the newest iteration.
