Within the last few months I’ve seen several posts/memes that blatantly blame Obama for racism. As a relatively new but avid visitor to the Root, I can only sigh and block my wife’s cousins when they post anything that perpetuates the idiotic notion that talking about racism is what causes it

I think the worst thing about YouTube comment sections and Facebook feeds for anything with more than a dozen comments is the inexplicable compulsion to express racist thoughts.

Had a brief discussion on Facebook about this. Kavanaugh defenders were quick to say that his response was not emotional but a rational response to unsubstantiated accusations and any man in his position would react the same. I was called a liar for saying that innocent men may eventually reach that point but less…

I had a former coworker that embodied this dichotomy. It’s as if in some guys brain that a woman reacting with anything other than docile deferment is overly emotional yet men who can’t engage in civil discourse or accept rejection without name calling or threats of physical violence aren’t.

It’s been said time and again by people that don’t worship Trump as god emperor deal maker that he is a terrible negotiator. He is the kind of man that will kill a chance to make a hundred million if the other side gets half as much in exchange for one million if the other side loses money in the process. That’s…

There is an over abundance of things Trump does that irks me but few are more tiresome than his “clever” nicknames for people. My four year old is more creative. And empathetic. Not to mention he throws less tantrums. 

Was telling the wife the other day how absurd this sounds. A lawyer is willing to go to jail for 3 years to make Trump look bad? People might go to jail out of loyalty/no snitching but to make someone else look bad? That is what the President and his cult actually believe. We are wasting money and convicting people as…

Ever listen to any rap from years back name drop Trump as an example of wealth and influence? That look is my face when I hear those lyrics

Yep. Obamacare was the worst thing to happen in this country but not so bad that she would pass up getting her parents to pay for it

This is the sad truth about and the extent of Trump’s business tactics. Anyone with basic levels of competency and/or lack of avarice would surmise that a compromise that gets me a few billion in the long run and cultivates a partnership for future business is a greater win than making a few million as long as no one…

He was a carpenter, ate a lot of fish, and walked a lot. 

That looks look like the blackest cosplay as early Sendai convention ever

The abject narcissism is what pisses me off about his Christian supporters. How can you support a man so blatantly self involved. Is humility no longer an aspiration for Christians?

You do raise a valid point. Though the midterms gave me some hope there’s still a bit of knee jerk doom and gloom

Sadly, The cult of Trump will still support him. They’ll blame liberals for supporting open borders and Mexico for not recognizing Trump as god emperor.

One of his greatest hits that didn’t get much play. After he mentioned how he would go into an active shooter situation unarmed to try to help someone found an interview where he admitted to almost passing out from seeing a guy bleeding on the floor at one of his benefits. Didn’t get help or nothing. Just turned his…

I don’t get people sometimes. It’s like you point out someone is a billionaire business owner and they fall over themselves justifying every action as brilliant because no one with money can be anything less than the creme de le creme.

So tired of seeing that defense. There is not a corner of the internet where you will not find people defending his bankruptcies as either a shrewd business/legal maneuver or that at least he was brave enough to try while neglecting the millions of people before and after him who haven't gambled other people's money…

Maybe he did it for the Rock. Maybe he did it for the people

People literally died so that our taste buds could live.
