Painful might be a stretch, but it can be incredibly uncomfortable. Also since we aren’t supposed to readjust either you never really know until you sit down.

When it comes to other POC its less worrisome. White people though, for sure not. But any interracial or intercultural relationship runs the risk of cultural appropriation.

White people being offended on behalf of black people is the worst.

Yep. When someone claims someone like Tim Burton should have more POC in his movies I just roll my eyes. White writers cannot and should not write nonwhite characters. White directors should not direct nonwhite actors. Period. Let white folk make their white movies. Black people need to tell their stories.

Taking a stand can cost you your job. That’s the risk you take. Everyone crying about him not having a job sound like cry baby alt right trolls crying that they can’t say the n word.

Someone who supports people of color over privileged whites? Yep.

White people marrying into other cultures is not something that need to happen, ever. It is absolutely cultural appropriation. And even worse it gives white people an excuse to think their opinion on race issues matters. Have you ever seen a white parent with children who are of color? It is a diaster.

You winning a meaningless race is nothing compared to someone being themselves. Gender and sex are over and people need to get on board with that. We all exist on the gender spectrum and fluctuate throughout life. Your hormones our genitals don’t decide that. Time to end gender seperated events, awards, etc like MTV…

Because there is no set rule everyone agrees on. A world exists beyond Twitter and comments off sites like this one. Unfortunately The Root didn’t speak for all black people.

I feel bad for the kids, and certainly white people need to stay out of it, but something needs to be said about whites marrying POC. It’s got to stop for obvious reasons.

The only way to deal with racism is to make racist hide their racism until they get in the voting booth.

Yep. The time for talk is over. Talking to people is the worst of the worst. Trying to understand people is worse than that. Just make them be quiet and all is good.

The only solution is to shame them into keeping their racism quiet. I am fine with people being racist as long as they dont vocally express it.

Yes. I am serious. Talking to people has to stop.

Probably because not everyone, not even all black people agree on its usage.

The only solution is to alienate maher forever. Having someone come and educate him on what he did and why it was wrong is a really terrible idea.

against a black man, absolutely.

I saw on FB where white women was calling it cute when her white child was playing trains with a Chinese American kid. And not just trains but the sets ether the kids physically build/lay the track. I explained to her that her son was being super racist by having another child off Chinese descent laughing railroad…

So we just are going to forget the star is a Zionist in thr name of appeasing white women?

Kind of hard to believe in 2017 we still are using LGBT and LGBTQ and not LGBTQIA+.
