Yes, absolutely sooooo brave, for agreeing with the majority that has the judicial system behind it.

False. We won specifically because indigenous people in Arizona and black people in Georgia turned out the vote. This white fantasy that we need to cater to moderates is just an excuse for not wanting equality.

The “girlbosses” are already on the defense. Yes we know that John Tester and Joe Manchin suck. We’ve known since before Hillary ran in 2016. Tester voted down gun reform even after Sandy Hook. “Manchin did not endorse President Barack Obama for reelection in 2012.“ Now let’s focus on how she sucks too. Multitasking.

Oh ok. End of story. Let’s ignore how photographers had their cameras and film confiscated for being there 15-20 minutes before EMTs. Has no similarities to when the racist Sheriff’s department in LA called TMZ before emergency vehicles for the Kobe helicopter crash.

Thing is though, they are working for British royalty. That’s not a place anyone would expect to be a pleasant environment. Are they seriously saying that an American actress was worse to work for than a literal pedophile and the people who likely orchestrated Diana’s murder? Something tells me the “abuse” was having…

It’s possible that Meghan was rude and it sucks.

Keith Olbermann would be the first person to say “not all white people” or “not all men” but is confident enough to say all people in states with conservative leadership should die. Does he forget we have a Republican president ever 8 years?

When you have people in the comments on The Root saying shit like this:

It bothered me to no end that Skylar was who the fans thought was a villain on Breaking Bad. A lot of people showed their misogynistic, abusive, power-hungry asses in that one.

Sanders already said he will support her. Yall gonna rub your clits raw thinking about that man.

The fact that she’s having a “debate” in Congress instead of in prison for treason is what happens when you’re allowed to disagree about things like police brutality, immigration, etc. You NEVER get a pragmatic solution. You ALWAYS leave shitheads the opportunity to obstruct or continue to enact more violence.

Reminder to the “them’s the rules, personal responsibility, what else can we do?, etc.” crowd below that several people froze to death in Texas this past week because of responses like those. Get fucked now and get fucked in general. Even non-migrant foster homes aren’t great so I can only imagine how kids who are…

Besides the mencels defending him, I’ve noticed that white women of a certain age looooove defending him unprovoked. I think he speaks to the generation post-50's marriage and pre-00's independence. That sort of in-between of “I still need a husband to be worthy but he can be goofy and unassuming.”

It’s very evident that people think teachers are just babysitters i.e. servants in how fervently they despise teachers unions ESPECIALLY during this pandemic. Oh you might die taking care of my kid? Oh well, we’ll just find another one.

Education administration*

Being a teacher is hell. Being a principal sucks. Being a superintendent is the paid vacation everyone thinks teachers get.

There was a body at the bottom of an escalator in the NYC Port Authority. We all had to step over it because nobody had arrived and it hadn’t been stopped yet.

1.) Why is “The Dark One 508", a literal troll, the most popular comment? This blog really fell off trying to get ad revenue.

2.) Can we stop using “thinkpiece” as a perjorative? Critical thinking, philosophy, introspection, interrogation, etc. are all integral to black liberation. The anti-intellectualism of the W…

I tried to tell somebody that the last time Lightfoot was on The Root because of Anjanette Young. They got every excuse in the book for her. There’s benefit of the doubt and then there’s, “ah I see you want to be a black person above reproach unlike the other peasants” syndrome.

Boooooy do you know how bad you gotta fuck up for FOX News to put a Trump ally on blast?

We’re going to start seeing this more and more. As black folks start to rightfully reclaim discourse/culture that is their own, they’re also going to be asked to be accountable for their own micro-aggressions and missteps with appropriation. To RiRi’s credit, she handled the situation with a song during her fashion…
