But like srsly Spanish is the language of the conquistadors. Didn’t the priests come to convert pagans? It’s not like she took a Mayan name. 

That was very enlightening and the best critique I’ve read about this debacle. I wish people would google Kim Gordon re:Lana because I think Lana is referring to her telling her to “off herself” among other things. Lana does sound stupid here but I think she’s talking about hipsters and white feminist kiss asses. Lana’…

Woooooow.

In a sea of bad joke articles this was a beautiful combination of hysterically funny sarcasm that actually educated the readers. Bravo! 

As a white chick I don’t totally get this but it is certainly some hilarious $#!+. 

lol. Hopefully you’ll put all of the other internet magazines out of business so I no longer have to hear their weak jokes and safe commentary. 

I call them husband shops because there’s no way they’re selling enough paintings-yoga-clothing to afford the rent. 

What I find hilarious is that I live near an awesome old school health food store in a predominately black/orthodox neighborhood in New Haven CT and the supposedly woke hardcore wypipo (from the nice side of town) DRIVE out of town to go to the Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s! My one friend lives right next to a black…

lol-ing. None of the other magazines can touch The Root with a ten foot pole. I swear they’re all trying to be you but they’re not actually funny, provocative, or in touch with reality. 

You can’t be an ally while sitting in first class!

Rich people have no clue and they were really really rich and really really sophmoric. Woman can’t be the n word of the world. Black people have always borne the brunt of this title while white women slept in beds made by black women and spent money made off black people. Rich Japanese women who grew up with servants…

I’m a white woman and lately my cringe reflex is on heavy rotation. The upper middle class white women in my life have been cashing in their status all their lives and now that it’s fashionable they care about black people. They have all white heroes but bought Ta Neishi Coates book last year as if it were an act of…

We need to talk about why people are homophobic instead of writing them off for not kissing enough @$$. The finger waving mob is missing an opportunity to talk about how anti gay sentiment is something that people are raised to believe. If this mindset is learned than it can be un-learned. When was the last time a…

LOL yes this is exactly the problem with our phone it in activism.

She peddles her bigotry for the sake of young girls living under totalitarian theocracies

You are suggesting that the majority of the Muslim world are not living in countries that discriminate against women and that Hirsi Ali’s work is less relevant than the efforts of an American who was born with the right to criticize her government. Linda Sarsour couldn’t shine Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s shoes! Do not justify…

It was bad form for her to write this considering his apology

Only she wasn’t talking about slapping a man in relation to her purity at all. She was talking about the fact that women are physically vulnerable to men and therefore should be warned about the Big Bad Wolf as to told to wear blinders and to keep glamourizing the high risk lifestyle of the hedonist. I don’t avoid…
