Thank you!! I’m glad someone else sees A.I. as being terrible for the world. How much lazier do people need to be?

It blows my mind that it hasn’t even been a year. What will be left of this country if Emperor Asswipe stays in office for the rest of a term??! If he had the power, I’m sure by now they would have rounded up and shipped off/murdered everyone who isn’t a cis hetero white male.

I think we were supposed to as well, but I didn’t either. It was great to see her suffer, ESPECIALLY when the actress ruined the last few seasons of Dexter.

I am SO excited for this to play a role in season 3! I’m from LA and gentrification in that area (and pretty much most of LA) is really out of control now.

Aaaaand they say it like it’s a compliment! Like they’re waiting for me to say, “Alright, you caught me! *shrug* I just really, really like to tan!”

It took me awhile before I started commenting myself since I’m biracial (black and Asian) and oftentimes in real life I’ve been left out of these conversations. Sometimes other black people codeswitch when I’m around and it’s kind of heartbreaking. But, the online community has been very welcoming. So, having felt…

Right? Like there’s only ONE way to sound/be/live that’s acceptable as a black person. I always got called “Hilary Banks” because of my voice.

I feel like the 90s and early 2000s had sooo much... A good “intro to conscious hip hop” would be Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Black Star (the former two’s collaboration), (early) Lupe Fiasco. I also really like Psyche Origami and Minamina Goodsong. For instrumental stuff, there are a few playlists on Spotify under…

Hahahahhahaha I’m generally paranoid/stressed/hyper vigilant AF so this really resonated with me. Especially #6.

No, you’re not alone with this. If you look for “conscious hiphop”, you still get the beats, but the lyrics aren’t -_-. I’ve been listening a lot more to instrumental hip hop as well. But I’m likely out of touch because I think most music genres now have gone down the drain since basically everyone can be famous...

I’m risking getting my black card revoked... but it’s always refreshing (and surprising) to me when white folks visit here not to troll. The Root conveys a world of news and education and not everyone is up for reading it, although everyone should, and I’m glad it’s been able to make at least a few people more…

Add a few kale leaves to that and they charge $15 for that smoothie in LA

EXACTLY! Appropriation is bad enough, but I especially HATE these negative aspects being the cornerstone of her “brand”.

I’ve seen these questions asked around the internet by potential-allies and... I’m kind of jealous because I NEVER EVEN GET ASKED.

I love this! I think they moved racist jokes and racial slurs (as long as they don’t end in a hard “r”) down, at least in the presence of other white people *side eye*

Way more booty now

I don’t need to tell you that white supremacy is the ultimate big bad. The monster. The bully.

I feel like it’s ESPECIALLY how good it is. Everything Obama did that made America great, like having peaceful relationships with foreign leaders, trump has completely destroyed or is in the process of doing so.

He’s gotten a lot fatter since that was made

YUP. And lots of bronzer.
