Thank you for reminding me about Jemele Hill. My memory, like the collective memories of most Americans, is incredibly short, and it seems like a lifetime ago that she got suspended for speaking the truth that is now hitting America in their face.

AHEM, it’s the most Drake thing that anyone has ever done. Ain’t nothing about this “lightskinned.” I get this was a joke, but it still hit me wrong because it doesn’t have anything to do with anything.

As a member of the waffle colored negro community, this is peak light bright behavior.

I completely missed the “y’all.” Thank you.

He isn’t. He’s obviously a white troll.

The light skinned dudes I know only have sorry ass Lion tattoos and squint and snear in their pics (except for one, thank goodness). None of them are doing this weird shit.

We are not “Blacks” we are Black people.

and the saddest worship EVER.

I went to church with my Big Mama in Gadsden, Alabama during the summers we spent there as kids....That service was 5 hours long and the only thing that kept me alive was the thought of eating at the end..lol

“I think God invented Italians so White people would understand the concept that seasoning is a Good Thing.”

Yeah, sometimes you need something petty AF to smirk at... whenever that happens, The Root is there for you!

I remember learning about shorter church services in high school, and wondering what went wrong. Like we didn’t need to spend 3 hours in church for no reason? We’ve been ROBBED!

Excellent point about White people and seasoning. I think God invented Italians so White people would understand the concept that seasoning is a Good Thing. Also, White people are weird about Luther Vandross. They understand that he’s popular, but he comes off a bit too maudlin from their perspective. <strike>Though…

People who can’t take a joke are the kind of people I like to avoid, so I guess this is a push.

This is what happens when we let butterscotch brothers run the game. 1st they just stop dunking altogether. Next, they’re apologizing to your ex-girlfriend for cheating they never did. And then bagging her.

Hey man, WE ARE NOT A MONOLITH.

I don’t know if it’s the most lightskinneded thing ever, but I think he’s in the running for most lightskinneded person ever.

Lost his billionaire backers.

his own fault
