Only fat people with different political views. Those disgusting porkers are fair game.

Eh, being an aspie myself I can’t really pick on them, but as for people with no wits or critical thinking skills? Let the stomping begin.

“... we pulled off the greatest troll of all time.”

Right there, man. Right fucking there.

But not the larger problem, who was at the parade doesn’t fix a damn thing. But who isn’t showing up at the polls is why we are at this point in history. So stopping the parade did what? While voting for someone that has agenda that will help you is much more important. Voting is how people get selected for jury duty.…

My dad, who lives in Middle America, said the same thing. He said that the “2016 election was a great big flip of the bird to California and New York.” So.

Amazing that Democrats keep losing elections.

All true, more apt “Only a fool fights in a burning house” - Klingon proverb.

Save that picture for this guy. Lot of rainbow flags and non black people laying on that street together.

Infighting is unfortunately becoming the norm. Disruption of causes, my point is more relevant than yours, Oppression Olympics and yada yada yada ad nauseum.

I can’t believe blm is still pulling that race card on police please just please give it up already. If blm actually got what they wanted with a ban on police cities would turn into festering shit holes

This a bazillion times.

That’s the problem, plenty of protesting but no political action. Just like Occupy and Bernie Bros, can’t see for forest for the protest. King had a strategy protest to get the vote use the vote to carry out an agenda. Now if you can’t get your A$$ to the polls to vote disrupting a parade isn’t going to do a damn…

That’s what you get with the left. They don’t understand that free speech isnt the same as free from consequences. She probably should have designated the interview as a ‘safe space’, and the magical warding would have protected her.

Fuck you. I’m tired of this narrative that gentrification is a bunch of white people going “This predominantly black neighborhood looks nice, lets move there and change everything about it.” If I could afford to live somewhere that wasn’t once an abandoned crackhouse, don’t you think I would? My choices are between…

And for the first time in history, The Root doesn’t want to talk about race. How surprising!

White people leave an area: “Shame on them! White flight is bad!”

I guess no one is going to go there.... and seems absent from the comments.

I think we need to be careful about how we are communicating gentrification. When I read your piece, if I replaced Blacks with Whites, it easily read as a piece from St.Louis white residents wondering why so many blacks are moving in. When considering whites moving in to black neighborhoods consider these questions:

We couldn’t find any data on kale sales or the percentage increase in smoothies consumed, but trust us, Brooklyn is gentrifying.
