In The White Princess TV series it’s Henry’s mother Margaret Beaufort who had them killed, but let everyone (including her son) believe it was Richard.

Actually, there is a line of scholarship that believes Richard III is innocent of the deaths of his nephews and would actually have nothing to gain by murdering them. This is explored at great length in the great Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey. Spoiler alert: History was written by the victors aka Henry Tudor aka…

You’re leaving out the bit that Edward was removed from the royal line by an act of Parliament that gave legal effect to his abdication - which he then had to give his assent to. After that, his presence was simply an accounting and housekeeping issue.

I only recently discovered that George V allowed Nicolas II and his family to be slaughtered and I was absolutely horrified. While I understand the worries about how it would be received by the British public the conditions in Russia that lead to the Revolution were very particular and don’t have many direct…

One of the things I’d do if I was rich would be to pay for these tough-talking motherfuckers to come meet Michael face to face so we could have a shining example of how gutless they are when they aren’t behind the keys.

You are getting reported, Better if you was executed but hey, at least i can do my part to your removal from society. Screw you and your racist bs.

I kind of get the criticism of the BeckyCon thing. What started out as an (almost certainly) white dude being pretentious enough to claim a “safe space” for his fedora was turned into an excuse to slag white women.

Bitch, that an’t cruelty. It’s the smoke. It’s ALL THE SMOKE she asked for by calling the cops on a fellow student who was simply catching a quick nap, who happened to be black, the same color of skin that she claims she regularly steps out to ‘help’ while at the same time stroking her ego publicly over how good of an…

“obsession with white omen.”

Yes there is a lot of toxicity in the entertainment we consume. Not we as black people (I doubt we do more than anybody else). I meant we as in Americans. For every Love and Hip Hop there’s a Housewives of Wherever, or a Honey Boo Boo, or a Kardashian, or whatever.

Charlemagne gave Tomato Lasagna a platform and defended her as his “friend”. He can sit all the way down. Also, hit dogs tend to holler lol.

Charlamange slow dances to Old Town Road.

Yeah, I’ll admit to being confused. Are we supposed to dislike the white lady tweeter who complained more than we dislike Captain Fedora?

Why is a man’s shitty behavior being blamed on women? What did I miss here? I mean, I can see a tangential relation to the women who enable that kind of behavior from the men in their life, but I really feel like I missed a beat somewhere.

Yep.  Gonna have to buy some extra popcorn for that one!

This week’s edition may be the end of The Root. I mean it may cause The Root to go the way of Deadspin

Ha.. and now I’m thinking Clapback Mailbag.

Ooooh, I hope to never end up on your bad side. Don’t know if my self-esteem could stand could take it.

Does it seem weird that she has the same color in different intensities on her face, lips, eyes, and hair? She looks like she was dipped in a cheap hair dye and it just stuck to the wet spots.

I’ve been vilified on a global scale as somebody akin to a genocidal villain and I’ll never be able to get a job again.
