I don’t think this is completely uncommon. I am friendly with some of the panhandler in my neighborhood. Some of them have homes. They just can’t hold down a real job (for various reasons), and panhandling pays more than minimum wage.

I think the best Spicy Facts moment was his first press conference when he walked out and just blatantly lied about the size of Trump’s inauguration crowd. I knew then that he was going to be special.  

““the Greatest Generation” had a startling lack of vile, evil liars,”

NO. Not too soon. But this shit is firreeee! And not a drop less than the hatred he spread and deserves. Good, grief, Michael. You went alllll the way in on this one! Facts on facts and apt descriptions and metaphors for days. *church lady shouts*

does anyone represent anything well on reality tv? particularly one of the real housewives mutations? they are junk food, i do not judge junk food, but i cannot pretend it serves a nutritious purpose in any meaningful way.

These shows are highly STAGED, but less than scripted. Hell, half of them can barely read, much less memorize lines.

These students deserve a do-over.

And how many of these girls will be with child?

Very amusing that their new best friend is a pussy-grabbing, thrice-married, non-churchgoing tax cheat.

There is not enough money on the planet to make that job palatable.

“While we were being told to go to college, get a corporate job, dress like, walk like, talk like...white 😒... the Vietnamese were opening nail salons, the Koreans opened beauty supply stores, the Chinese opened restaurants, the Jewish opened record labels...made money strictly off of black folks...and they dressed…

I felt sorry for her too. Then I read (some) of the book and she’s a manipulator. But she has done great harm to Black America, yes. I do agree with that.

How dare you accurately predict the future!

I dont fuck with the trolls here. Especially on this article, which is a celebration of one of the Root’s most talented writers. No, I’m not going to make time. Instead, I’m just telling everyone how much I love her lol

I’m digging this. The next time some dipshit goes off about “concern trolling” because they don’t like having their viewpoint challenged in a useful way, I can hit them with this as an example of the “artform.”

I generally don’t miss an opportunity to slam the Trump administration but this seems like a fine and qualified pick. I wish Admiral Trent-Adams the best of luck going forward.

I don’t trust Phil. I won’t be surprised if, at the end of this interview, he states something like “well she does have some interesting points...”

So who’s up for the Hidden Figures reboot starring “women of color”? But not black women, because other POC deserve stories too.
