Thank you so much

I’m just another reader who appreciates what you and everyone else here does. Just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you so much

Thank you both so much

I did, actually. Thanks!

Did you write that headline? Cause “The storm that never passes” is fucking brilliant. 

Every day, we deeply appreciate the work you do. We understand that you all must pay steep emotional tolls to traverse a journalist’s road. We reap the benefits of your commitment and hope that you know we don’t take you for granted. Respect. Gratitude. Peace. Thanks so much.

I want to say the same. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every writer at The Root and what y’all do each and every day.

Thank you so much for your kind words

I pray for ya’ll everyday. I know my mental health has been affected by all of the things....But just know that their are people out here who appreciate all that you all do and the many sacrifices that you make for us. Thank you and much love.

That’s not the worst apology I’ve ever seen (low bar), but the bit about her privilege blinding her to the fact that for some other groups the police are not just a benign protection agency is patent bullshit. She makes a point of saying to this guy that she is going to call the police and tell them an “African…

Genuinely wondering if this would have gotten as much attention from white people if she weren’t choking out a dog during the whole vid.

I’m not sure how me using a woman’s name to insult other women is sexist. I’m not obligated to support other women writ large, especially not when they do stupid fucking shit.

Sam is right on top of that, Rose.
