ONE. MORE. THING!!!!

The bar for Biden was set incredibly low going into this debate. I figured Biden, by default, will win if he stands there for 2 hours without losing his dentures, crapping his Depends, or challenging a moderator to a mud wrestling match after a tough question is asked.

Hey, can we get rid of Florida and give Puerto Rico statehood? Just sayin’.

Dang... Just to add more context to this discussion, Joe Biden has been running for President since 1984... But please continue to enlighten us all on who has been chasing a dream.

I have to disagree with the writer here. We need the primary to continue so that we can test the readiness of the polling stations for the general election. Here in Houston, we had wait times as large as 7 hours in black and brown communities. In college towns, there was only one polling location or a single voting…

Hey Waffle. I admit that I am a bit of a fatalist when it comes to Criminal Justice and I have accepted the fact that it will not improve to an acceptable standard within my lifetime. This country was founded by racist slave owners and the Criminal Justice department is the lasting remnants of that history.

Micheal is a thought leader, and clever writer with a large audience. He is mentally equipped and has the resources to provide this community with solutions. I don’t know about you, but I have come to the Root for years to laugh and to learn. If as a community we promote no solutions, then it is no wonder our…

Damn eowynsdottir. Your entire post is incorrect. You wrote 2 sentences and both of them are wrong.

Please explain how the Green New Deal, $15 minimum wage, free college and health care for everyone only benefits white people, while leaving behind black people.  I’m genuinely asking.  I have not been able to understand this logic.

Hey Micheal. I’ve mentioned this in previous comments, but you are one of my favorite writers. It is unfortunate that some people within the online community have hurt your feelings... It shows in your writing. You sound bitter, pessimistic, and almost fatalistic. It’s affecting the quality of your work. Maybe take a…

Hey Stephen,
I understand that you are trying to knock Bernie Sanders down a few pegs. The main premise of your article is solid and factual. We all admit that “44 years ago, Bernie Sander used hyperbole to make a case in defense for improving safety and working conditions for miners.” There are a plethora of instances…

Yes. Volante brought the reciepts! This is how political discourse should be argued. Bring the facts or get shut down!

The single reason why I avoided visiting NYC for so many years was Stop and Frisk. I have had my fair share of unwarranted searches and car stops in Houston. I didn’t want to experience the escalation of these practices in NY.  I’m glad our community is not giving Bloomberg a pass.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a masterpiece! The story, pace, characters, stylized artwork, action sequences, and soundtrack were all spot on. Many people dismissed this film since it was animated, but this was by far one of the best movies of the year. I hope the sequel follows the same recipe.

Wow Jason.

Sweet Jesus. SMH

Bernie’s answer is the exact same answer I was given by my black parents. What’s your advice to handling a police encounter?? We have to handle their abuse within the courts, media, protests and voting... not in the streets during their unjustified traffic stops.  Otherwise yeah... you can easily eat a bullet from one…

Lol.  You get my star.

As an aspiring filmmaker, I hope my first major project is shot at Mr. Perry’s studio.  I’m so proud of him!
