I’m so sorry for you loss.

That anyone would send their child to this school, their girl child especially, escapes me. When sexual assault is baked into EVERY military institution in this country?  I would clown recruiters, administrators, and professors to their face at ANY recruitment. The time and energy that you put into your child’s life…

I was also not raised that way. But I WAS raised to have a double serving of skepticism when it comes to white people, and I’m raising my sons to think that way too. The only white folks I interact with nowadays are liberal and they are OFTEN off target. I can see any one of them covering up a murder for their white…

Seems like a racket to me. Who’s getting paid and how much? How much do unions make off of membership?  Police Unions seem like any corporate structure to me.  They’re weighing the cost benefit analysis throughout so many of these cases.

I wonder how all the black people that missed out on jobs, funding, etc. feel about it though. That type of thing has both an economic, professional, and mental and emotional effect. She didn’t just steal culture , she stole opportunity that would have benefited actual black people on multiple levels. I hope she gets…

Just like there are white South Africans, there are white Brazilians, and white folks in every Latin country.  Being from Brazil does not mean you’re not white.

It’s the only “developed” nation that doesn’t have healthcare for the majority of its citizens, that has the highest level of social stratification among its peers.  That currently can’t seem to flatten the Covid curve despite all our technological advances.  Just cause you say,”We’re the best” over and over doesn’t…

Freedia has given us so much grace, passion, and beauty!  I’m thankful for this Queen.

OK but, did I miss a song or meme because “Lil Half Dead” sounds like it could be a bop.

“Con” is an abbreviation for “Convention”, we’ve all been to those.  And please don’t act like there’s something wrong with Tamika Mallory because you sound like a Russian hack.

Oh, do you mean how white supremacy has caused folks to dominate and destroy the planet and been used as an ideology that has encouraged people to destroy societies and cultures that didn’t fit into it’s parameters worldwide?

Bernie voted for the crime bill and against the magnitsky act because he’s a lifelong establishment politician like the rest of of them. And after 2016 he jumped right on the “white working class” bandwagon and had rampant misogyny within his campaign staff. I’m SO TIRED of folks acting like Bernie’s proverbial feces…

Ya’ll my Forever First Lady ALREADY told us, “Now is not the time . . .” stop fighting in the comments and start exchanging strategies on getting folks to vote in your area. 

White Supremacy is going to be the death of white people.  It got them thinkin’ they can challenge buffaloes, viruses, and every other thing that doesn’t care about their social order.  Fools.

wait, she still working??? I would have thought the way she did April Ryan and got kicked out Trumpville, she would have just stayed home and minded her business.

It’s the scene from Lovecraft Country where the police, who’s been bitten by a chagrath, insists there are no such things as monsters. White supremacy will have them die screaming before they admit they’re wrong.

I’m reminded of a conversation that I had when Hillary was running. Went something along the lines of, “No she isn’t everything I want in a president, but at least we stand a chance of pushing her in the right direction.” The para relationships that people want with our elected leaders is weird, and as we are…

The current incarnation of white supremacy is pretending that white supremacy doesn’t exist in a last bid, gasping attempt to hold onto their privilege. They’ll throw every excuse in the book at you, “the best for the job”, “every culture values itself over others”, “american is the land of equality”.  They don’t have…

Articles like this, and comment threads like this are the PRIME reason I read The Root.

Agreed, I’m looking at their hair, nails, and clothes tryna figure out where I can cop some of that.
