I’d disagree with that. Black women hold more degrees than any other demographic but are paid way less than just about any other demographic. Black women vote for the dems and, with the recent exception of the ACA, get the least return from that party. I could go on, but the fact is America returns black women’s…

As the official lemonade stand for the original VSB squad (obligatory SQUAD!) we live for treating trolls....... We have trained for this. We do this for sport.

This is a great observation. We saw it with the Black Panthers and how the men shoved the women aside, even though the early work and activism was by women - the script that BLM followed, as well, with the same outcome so far - black men taking the forefront. Same with Civil rights, with many of the men rightly…

Black women are always at the forefront of everything Black and take all of the beatings and then have to come to their homes and worry about Black men harming them as well. It’s a damn shame and us Black men can’t help elevate the Black community without elevating Black women and LGBT people.

Disagree. The Root has always been straight forward. The article speaks the truth. And sometimes that truth hurts. We gotta do better for all of us for all of us to do better.

Read back through older VSB articles by Damon. That’s not really the case when you look at his broader body of work.

I swear to all things holy, if you start with that #notallmen horseshit, without actually listening and heeded what the brother is saying, I hope ED finds you right at the end of you hashtagging.

Let me find my seat real quick because the umar stans are coming.

I couldn’t find a lie anywhere in this piece.

Well... the video definitely shows her not passing the ball.

Right wing talking heads: “If the Jews had been allowed to fight back, maybe things would’ve turned out differently.”

The “teachable moment” is that you do not compromise with racist violence and white supremacy. Intimidating PoC should rightfully earn any of them getting knocked the hell out.

His views might be more solid now, but his food for the next few weeks certainly won’t be.

These folk are the daughters and sons of the founders of this country. Their families have built this country, died in its wars, and fought for the rights ... of your German family to come here and enjoy the fruits of their black labor, the laws they fought for, the businesses they helped build and the government that…

The American justice system has been condemned by all international human rights organizations. For good reason.

WOWWWWWW!!! Did you write this for me? Only songs missing are “That’s Right” by DJ Taz, “Nasty Dancer” by Kilo, and “Bounce it Y’all” by DJ Kizzy Rock (I know, I know: different labels)! You got me ready to pull out my DJ Jelly mixtapes from the Candler Road Flea Market, and to go back to the Lab with DJ Nabs!

You are “free” because you sold your soul to white supremacy, not because of any virtue of America. Your “freedom” comes at the expense of people like us, regardless of whether or not you were born here. Black and Native peoples were here long before Irish and Italians, and yet they were accepted into whiteness…

My grandma is an avid walker and she carries a metal pole. Still not sure where she got said pole from. She passed her old one down to me, though. My 6 year old is embarrassed to walk to the neighborhood park with me now! Ion care, she ain’t never unexpectedly came across a pack of wild dogs lol.

My parents moved out to the burbs when they had me, but my dad still takes walks with a dog stick wrapped in electrical tape and holds it like he’s ready to swing at all times
