Don’t forget he did it despite sport casters saying that his black hands gave him advantage:

I love those two little girls. God Bless them and keep them safe. Beto recently gave an impassioned speech on why NFL players kneel. Watch him.

Monique, why didn’t you comment on his abolishing the 13th amendment comment? At a certain time, The Root staff is going to have to stop defending this guy. His music is not that special. It’s above average, not genius, he is hardly in the echelon of the rap/hip hop G.O.A.Ts....not at all.

Are we forgetting about the Jet Blue flight attendant that quit and went down the inflatable slide? Classic...

Best Picture and Best Popular Film - Is this our new Separate but Equal in 2018? Just nominate Black Panther for Best Picture. Hands down. Given the Academy’s history, even with its “diversification” of Academy voters, it likely won’t win. That will go to some movie like that Billboard movie that won last year, Or A…

It’s the combination of the drink being thrown in his face (assault) plus taking the hat (theft), these are the maximum sentences that the article cites, but this is RED TEXAS, so you never know.  I don’t agree with this man’s tactics or what he said, but I understand his frustration.  

Lacrosse is a Maryland thing.  If he went to high school in MD, it could happen. 

This is breaking news:

Have you ever actually been to Africa to know that it’s “messed up”? Or are you buying into the propaganda that you have been fed? South Africa - which is but one example of a country on a rich, gorgeous continent- has better and newer trains, malls, and airports than we do in many parts of this country, but you…

So I just caught the phrase in Trump’s tweet, “I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing...” SECOND MEETING? Is he going to start having quarterly evaluations with his supervisor.

During his presidency, people often criticized Obama for “unfairly” lamenting black males. They tied it to Obama’s absent father and complained that he, above all others, should not denigrate black males. This was brought up at a speech he gave at Morehouse and to the NAACP, among others. Bill Cosby (and I am using…

He still has no clue that what he said was wrong. His statement says that for the use of the n-word - “regardless of the context, I apologize.” The “regardless of the context” part is his hedging of the racist statement. Because he didn’t actually say, “You n-word,” to a black person and used it in a sentence…

I agree with every...single... point... in this article. What a great movie! If there had been a tiny reference to Zamunda in Black Panther, it would have been close, but this movie is still the #1 Black movie.

I partially agree with KC here about the GOP and their perpetual obsession with Supreme Court picks. I also see Jason’s logic and think that Obama should have made a recess appointment, but I think that he would have appointed Garland and not an African American woman (though she would have been the smarter pick). And…

Again Panama for the third time...do you ever mention Clark Atlanta University in your articles?? We are feeling a bit left out and we were across the street too, actually not even that, across the promenade. We would appreciate some love too.  I know you probably spent some time on our campus.

When Bill Clinton was elected in ‘92, he was (mostly) seen as a young, refreshing candidate that could work across the aisle and get the economy going again after Bush. Does that ring any bells to another candidate by the name of Obama?

Why do you waste so much time speaking about Kanye West? Are people still that interested in him?

Did you watch Game 2? I’m sure you loved that too. Go Warriors!

Looks like Oakland A’s hats match your shoes too (your picture).

When Kanye showed up at Trump Tower as a blonde cheesing, was that not enough for you? And you are still questioning whether he lost credibility, then he can do pretty much anything he wants. He married the Queen of Reality TV and tackiness. Hence, he is her de facto king. Let’s move on from that lost cause. And his…
