Still and all, his character was very thin, and felt under-utilized.

So like...somehow the syrup isn’t as good without it being racist?

Did you watch the same Ghostbusters I did (which may actually be a concern, given how many franchises have used the name)? Winston was the Zeppo of the movie, and we all know which brother was cut in the move to MGM (which might explain why they started going downhill, but still). He was also the everyman the other,…

Always good to see The Root tackling the important issues.

“I’m more upset about the assault part of it, of the children being forced down on the ground by other children. Not so much of making them say BLM, because you know all lives do matter”

There is truly no reason for Black kids to feel as though violence is a useful tool to achieve allyship or some sort of reparations.

Did Rock PHYSICALLY ASSAULT anyone during his set? NO. Then he didn’t deserve to be PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED himself. Don’t like what someonee says or stands for? Cancel their ass; don’t put your fucking hands on them!

Another part of the problem person 🙄 

“Unregulated emotions” is such an appropriate term. We see that kind of reaction among too many Rappers killing each other over petty slights. Now that I think about it, Black women (using Miss McDuffie’s logic) have the right to violently attack any Rapper insulting & demeaning them. Whewww, talk about black-on-black…

So at what point were any of the women discussed in this article at risk of physical harm from Chris Rock or any of his comedy bits, such that it required physical force to defend them?  

I wonder if being punched in the face actually altered any of Chris Rock’s insults/slurs/biases that author Candace McDuffie (rightly) condemned. I doubt it. Given how much violence plagues the U.S.—- & intensely so in the Black community, it would be far more helpful to NOT respond in the “talk sh*t, get hit” (or get…

Decent bait. 

Condoning or encouraging violence in response to words is a toxic trait. I do my best to never hang out with someone who does that, or allow them to influence me. Of course Will Smith is powerful and rich enough to resort to physical violence and not end up in jail. Unfortunately the people you are trying to influence…

America’s most famous mass shooting this week was Monday’s killing of three students and wounding of five others at Michigan State University, another in the country’s long, bloody and entirely unnecessary history of mass murder with high-powered guns.

Yeah. This is about as cool as the guy who really wears (special) ties. Or socks.

No I believe is this was KFC offering a more traditional flats and drumstick style wing separate from the normal fried chicken wing you’d get in a bucket. 

Huge price hike, then take away nashville hot and popcorn chicken...Well, guess there will be room for a Popeyes or something worthwhile after the local KFC closes.

Yes, get rid of the crappy things, and bring back the DoubleDown!

Their popcorn chicken died when they took it away then brought it back as much larger pieces of chicken.  It went from popcorn chicken to crispy baby chicken nuggets that weren’t nearly as good as the original.  Good riddance.

I had these recently and they were super salty, hard, and mostly batter. Would prefer they just used original recipe nuggets anyway.
