In defence of Americans, you actually have some fairly interesting presidents on your currency. And you show an admirable deference to your history by not changing them. Yes, they’re all white men. But if you’re sticking to presidents and founding fathers, there’s not a terribly huge pool of non-whites or women to…

Speaking as a Canadian, I don’t think it’s a question of anyone objecting, per se.

I don’t know. Is this actually news?

I actually think this is an interesting experiment. Steadfastly refusing to disarm themselves, Americans are going the opposite route and arming themselves better. Now we wait and see. And effectiveness will be measured in a body count. What a world.

Seconded. I love Robin Wright, but I’m not doing it.

Sounds about right. All of this is hearsay and should be treated as such.

Yes.

I don’t know. Colonialism takes a lot of flack nowadays. And I’ve heard the arguments. They’re valid. But somewhere in the back of my mind I can’t help but think it was a good thing overall. Colonialism wasn’t the problem... it was the lack of follow-through.

Actually, we’ll point out that Washington probably got a poorer quality of product than he paid for.

That’s valid. I mean you could make a pretty strong case that the entire awards circuit is a sham.

I wasn’t blown away by Oldman’s Churchill. But he has such a large body of Oscar-worthy work that I have to lend him my support.

Wow, you straight up wrote me an essay. Hehe, every one of my comments has been tongue-in-cheek and no matter how absurd I get, you don’t pick up on it. I’m legitimately feeling bad about it now. Oh lord, I’m not cut out for such cruelty.

Hehe, got Human Resources on speed dial, do you? I’m shocked.

What? Racism still exists? Where are you getting this nonsense? Racism died out ages ago. All that’s left are the echoes: Victim culture, and hyper-sensitive white people walking around on egg shells with anyone darker than your average suntan. Have a little levity. And take us up on the trade! We’ll be colonizers,…

Well you told me.

Trust me, they have an actual political party in reality too.

Verified by an authentic white guy. It’s true. We’re completely desensitized to it. And “colonizer” isn’t going to work at all.

Hotep. You keep saying this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

A rational, measured reply on The Root.
