Of all the things to feel threatened by, I find it sad that here are some black men( assuming it isn’t some long pathetic con by some wypipo because some sad pathetic loser can do that) are threatened by theroot. I come here specifically because they are very few places like this online.

I’ve heard that masculinity is so fragile, but blackness? That’s pretty resilient. If these keyboard warriors feel attacked then that’s a personal problem, not something for them to project onto all straight black men.

This world*

Nah, there are honestly black dudes who feel like The Root is orchestrating an coordinated attack on the straight black male by, like, calling them out on their toxic bullshit, their disdain for black women, their ignorance towards LGBTQ people, and generally speaking on their dumbass hotepery for the miserable pile…

Most people don’t want equality, they are simply seeking their opportunity to play the oppressor.

Apology not accepted, sir! Dare I say we need more articles by The Root staff that calls out: white nonsense, black nonsense, Steve Harvey, Killer Mikey, Oma, and the rest.

Apart from DNA testing, exactly how does one establish her racial bona fides? What qualifies or disqualifies you as “truly” black? I’m assuming that the baseline is African American, but is there a more essential blackness behind that to stand as the measure of ur-negritude? Some kind of Dahomeyan starting line that…

BTW, forget Cardi. This isn’t about Cardi, so this #whatabout bullshit can stop. I don’t care if she was attacking Cardi or Whitney; this is about Banks and her ugly-ass soul. She talks about everybody like this. So you can can leave that “Well, what about when Cardi said X?” bullshit back at yo momma’s house.

Look. Cardi B knows that she is a Black Woman from the Bronx. If she gets specific about her heritage so what. Most Black People in America wish they could be as specific with theirs, including me. I’m looking at the big picture. Had it not been for centuries of racism Cardi and Azealia would be best friends. On…

Afro-Latinx people need to do a better job of accepting their African heritage. American Blacks need to do a better job accepting that Blackness is not an uniform ethnicity. We (American Blacks) regularly interchange “Black” to describe our ethnicity and our race. This isn’t the same in the much of the Latin world. In…

Cardi has never denied or played down being black. The xenophobic always make the same assumptions with Black Latinas. It is not fair. As for when she was being attacked by other women on IG she did use grimy terms but that is how it is on the streets. Those same attackers use the same terms amongst themselves and…

I don’t know much about her history other than the fact that she’s Dominican and Trinidadian, but I did find this interview with her where she talks about her heritage and she doesn’t seem to deny being Black.

She will eventually, because she needs attention however it happens.

I am surprised she hasn’t gone the way of Diamond and Silk and Kayne. She might as well, she is nuts.

Really, Ms. Banks, sit down and be still.

Cardi spoke the truth. Banks hates herself and thats why she cant stand to see Black women uplifted. It is so sad.

I am here for W’Kabitch...

Yep. That’s one scene that should have been kept in the movie. Makes way more sense. I hope they release a Director’s Cut. That is when I will buy.

Thought for sure you were gonna go with W’Kanye somewhere in there.

That’s the anger we needed to explain the quick switch of W‘Kabi.
