I was thinking the same thing, LMJ.

There you go: Telling the TRUTH. 

Why let charity prevail?

Duh!

The wise Ms. Badu is right, and I’m paraphrasing: You should watch what you say because you neva know. After several thousand days occupying the recesses of his mind, Disc Jockey Akademiks had a curious revelation that Sistah Erikah done done him wrong by clowning his looks, so during a radio show he commenced to “read…

Tru dat.’

Why wait to descend into eternity? Look in the mirror and shoot who you see. Facts: With a quickness your betters turned the situation into a masterclass in whup ass. And you already lost a war, so stop chasing its shadow. I’ll give you “disagreements,” fella.

Many believe Rudolf Giuliani and Donald “John” Trump should look in the mirror and shoot who they see, precipitating their descent into eternity. The devil will welcome these senior advisors to his side.

Why do our Black women get involved with, or follow, humans who call them “bitches” and other non-superlatives, as they’re being set up for a fall? To accept it indicates self-hatred, or an inability to do better. Halle can do better, much better than a rapper who chases his own shadow. Dating people who are “passing…

In this forum it’s not always best to advocate a “respectability politics.” I do it because it can’t hurt and, going forward, our beloved Black community will need such advantages if we are to survive. Some will claim I’m a “sell-out,” but it indicates nothing about me and everything about them, and I’ll brush it off…

But the vote of (In) Justice Clarence Thomas to affirm Alabama’s voter suppression efforts targeting us should be considered typical, as he’s internalized the colorism and verbal abuse at the hands of one too many fellow …

With a quickness THE ROOT should enforce a cease & desist order on its writers/reporters against covering Cannon’s wayward doings/and what not and so forth. The Negro’s embarrassments are z stuff of The National Enquire, not this website. Being foolish is lucrative for his bottom-line/$. Dude is a narcissist, treats et…

The stereotypical “Miss Ting,” a model Asian, wants to curry white favor: Agree/Refute

The stereotypical “Miss Ting,” a model Asian, wants to curry white favor, which is ironic: Agree/Refute

Rule #1: Don’t bow down to anyone. 

It isn’t news SR & DR had an affair, nor that he & Claudine had an open marriage. And more power to SR for trying to generate publicity for his new recording. Last, the article writer and some in the comments seem holier-than-thou which, of course, makes the devil himself blush.

Ms. Genai’s writing needs editing and guidance, so why isn’t THE ROOT providing it? 

When will folks understand (So. African/Canadian/American) Elon Musk will treat Blacks as he wishes, as if America were an apartheid-segregation backwater? His workplace and Twitter policies, and the fact that he’s a rabid anti-union troglodyte and card-carrying Trumpanzee, for example, should produce side-eyes and…
