Other posters have covered most of the bases but:
“After all, is anybody calling Denzel Washington Uncle”

This y’all ?

Thank you for the receipts. The writers on the Root are getting lazier every month with these articles, grammatical errors, poor fact checking and desperate reaches for content. Angela B has an actual familial relationship with MBJ so trying to spin that based on the discomfort of OTHER women's dislike of being called…

Seriously. It’s obvious and all this other shit is just embarrassing.

Michael B. Jordan knows Bassett and you don’t, he’s allowed to call her whatever the fuck he wants without side characters questioning it.

“Except if I’m in Africa, where it’s the custom for everybody to refer to anyone older as ‘Sister’ or ‘Auntie,’ depending on the age difference. And there, no one refers to anyone older by their first name out of respect.”

Oh, FFS it was an obvious call-back to the classic line in the movie. Period.

All he did was to shine a spotlight on someone who was desperately grabbing for it. Any self-inflicted blemished that come to light from that are on her, not him.

Why is it always incumbent on the person who was wronged to be the “bigger person” when this witch clearly wanted to gain something from knowing him, however tangential and negative the connection? F that noise and F her - she wants to be Wendy Williams; then take the negativity that comes with being messy.  She…

Lore’l, who hosts a syndicated radio show and two podcasts, tried to use her connection to Jordan from middle school (yes, literally middle school) to open up a conversation,

They’ll keep talking as long as you keep covering everything they say.

People should stop projecting their issues with her parents onto her.

Yeah, we got the coke-addicted, womanizing over-working dad and the disillusioned, recently-working mother. They called us “latchkey kids” for a reason. 

Where is this sexy inappropriate video? What was sexy or inappropriate here, the part where she rolled her shoulders or the part where she reached up? Was her daughter’s makeup goatee or the sunglasses some kind of sexual dog whistle nobody told me about?

Why y’all still fascinated with these weird rich people who don’t even know or care that a dozen eggs are now $6+ dollars.

Did he seriously try to use the fact that he’s Jewish as some kind of proof he couldn’t engage in abusive behavior!? What was that “whooping” he admitted to doing in that police report then?

I’m not sure that, ‘If I had hit her it would have been much worse than it is now.’ is a great defense.

First, damn all those who are salty about any part of BG’s ordeal and spreading disinformation or using slurs. That said, I hope she is getting appropriate care and support. That is all.

Look, the US was never going to get griner without Putin getting his pound of flesh from Biden. I knew that from the moment we knew she was arrested. We all knew that, and that Putin realized this once everybody started making noise about her. She was always a bargaining chip to get what he wanted from the US. Biden wa…

Why? You're concerned about someone who is so well-known they made a movie about him starring Nicolas Cage? He was doing a 25 year stretch explain to me why are you concerned about the merchant of death?

Bout going free is awful, but not because he’s really dangerous now. It’s simply unjust that he isn’t going to face the full consequences of his crimes.
