This is an EXTREMELY good show.  There is so much talent in the family and I appreciate their willingness to share.

That man looks like he stinks.  Some of you may know the smell I’m talking about.

If you fully cooperate with an arrest they handcuff you standing up... no knee. If you resist, then you have to be taken down. It is that simple.”

Well I’ve never lived in the South but am from NYC. As a teen and young adult in the 80s I remember we didn’t feel comfortable shopping in shopping areas that were just 10 min away from us (majority White Long Island). The shop owners would boldly follow us around stores and treat us with hostility. We had to shop in

What would make you think Black parents are “always telling their children they are victims?” Victims don’t bother fighting back!

Because Jenkins IS just that....a sell out, as are the rest of the Black men who prefer to watch football than stand up for their lives EVEN WHILE THE WORLD WATCHES.  This is beyond nauseating.

Good riddance. I won’t miss him. With his white wife having self.

It’s very normal to fight for your life in this climate when police attempt to arrest. They have so little credibility. One automatically thinks there will be abuse if not death that will follow an arrest. Especially in the mind of a young teen. I would have been scared to death and fought for my life as well.  This

Good for her. I never paid much attention to her. Now I’m a fan. No respect at all for ANY NFL player who refuses to take a knee. Money is nothing if cops are allowed to kill you, your children, and everyone else in your fam when, where and how they damn well please.

No one is crying about “everyone and everything” being racist. We’re having discussions about OUR experiences with racists like you - not everyone.

What they call anti-white Rhetoric is having people call them out on the racism they’d like to quietly and peacefully continue.

Michael, I really can’t thank you enough for your writings. Black people need you and sites like The Root. We need you to express your thoughts from our, yes OUR perspective . I haven’t run across an article yet that you have authored, that does not reflect 98% - 200% of my perspective. Long before I stumbled upon the

Judging by the volume of hateful comments all over the internet by White folks wherever and whenever Blacks appear.  I understand and applaud them.  At least there is one place where we are relatively safe.  And I mean relatively.

Clearly, clearly he’s working with more White than Black. But the one drop rule is the one drop rule.

Oh shut the hell up.  I’m so glad I found The Root after years of having my comments deleted on the Huffington Post simply because I’d dare to challenge racism.  The Root is a breath of fresh air!

“Seminoshedidn’t” ....You know you’re a fool right lol. Thanks for my morning laugh. I think I’m becoming dependent on your articles to get me through the day.

And now the racist Serena haters are criticizing Serena for “exploiting” her friendship with Meghan to sell her clothing line, as if friends are supposed to avoid supporting one another. But of course when Serena was supporting and praising Meghan’s cook book they weren’t accusing Meghan of exploiting Serena’s

Hell, they probably came up with the condo association alibi for her.  I’m sure t there was a lot of assurances from whites that she did nothing wrong, which is why she doubled down.

I don’t know how clueless these racist white women are, they know very clearly that Donald Trump is racist, that Kaepernick protested police brutality and that Blacks are the overwhelming targets of police brutality.  I would say she’s the Queen of racist white women, which we know at the bare minimum are the majority

That raised fist photo is so moving and memorable. Always wondered who those guys were.  Thanks for the info.
