Sir, well before you ever read a single word of mine, I walked through fields where unexploded ordinances still go off and kill innocent Laotians—decades after they were dropped during the Vietnam war. I’ve seen the effects of Agent Orange up close and personal. I have vets as friends and have spoken at length to them…

If Wilson’s account is true—and she maintains that it is—it appears y’all’s president

The hell you talkin bout? you KNOW who we got.

Bounty IS the qweeeker peeker uhhpper! If it wasn’t for the commercials during SG and Cristina, how would my brothers and I know true glamour?

That trailer was so Black, it made wypipo say, “but what about Captain America?”

If homie don’t put Obama on the back of a black unicorn...

Only that I hate to single out 80s rap as being terrible when everything else was even more terribler. Except for Fishbone. Fishbone did this:

They’d be better if they’d never been scarred by the 80s, that’s for sure. Look, let me put this in context with Neil Young. 1960s: collaboration with CSN. 1970s: “After the Gold Rush”. 1990s: “Harvest Moon”. All indicative of a musical genius. But what was he doing in the 1980s? This:

Coming off the heels of the 60s and 70s, when rock gods walked the land (disco notwithstanding), the 80s has no excuse. I graudated high school in 1985 and wondered why my teen years needed to be blighted with little but overproduced garbage. This is the 80s squeezed into one aggravating track:

Ok maybe been hanging out with too many then, you’re in digital media it’s understandable. Come back to Gen X...maybe pop in a few yo MTV raps episodes, and it will bring you back!

For number 10:

Here in the UK in 1996 a guy walked into a school and began shooting children.

So, when will the white community do something about their love of guns and violence? When are they going to do something about their need to inflict pain and suffering on large swaths of people to make up for their own inadequacies. When are white people going to do something about their people’s terrorist tendencies…

Please, can the Root do a “Today in Obama” post everyday? I want to know what Barack and Michelle are up to everyday, that is, if they update their social media with new posts.

As someone who is also husky (if women are allowed to be husky too) due to depression meds, thanks to everyone who is mentioning that. I eat healthy and carefully, and I exercise. It just doesn’t matter. Some of us have this side effect and there’s nothing we can do about it. The other side of the coin would be me off…

Please do not make fun of him (or others). I’m a psychiatrist, and rapid and extreme weight gain is a side effect of some of the best medications we have fore mood.

This asshole is going to get us blown up before I get to see Black Panther and the conclusion of Game of Thrones.

As Becky tries to explain why she isn’t racist, the driver tells her “if you’re not about that, you need to stay away from people like that”

“Racebaiting” is a term used by (white) people who have nothing better to say and have been backed into a corner. The fact that you were unable to truly address a single word I said, instead prattling on uselessly about racism you think is “mythical,” shows you have nothing to say and even less to back it up. I, on…

Never trust a man with upside-down ears.
