He knows that the world hates a Black woman with sexual agency

Yup all of that.  I don’t think they were required like AVClub and the Onion.  They had differing unions than the rest of the Kinjaverse.  New hires are probably required.  I’m not sure why I stick around on Kinja since I am grey on all but Kotaku and shadowbanned on Jezebel (for going too far in on one of the writers…

I think it was a combination of that, the new owners not wanting to pay what the real writers were getting, and I can’t remember if The Root was included in the requiring writers for certain sites to move to other cities if they wanted to keep their jobs but if so that probably played a role.

I’d say it’s more that the good ones left when they saw the writing on the wall a couple of years back.

They got rid of journalists years ago, now they just let anyone post whatever they want if they think it will bring clicks, no matter how shitty the takes.

I once openly applauded Black Twitter for helping POC catch racists and ensure their just social rewards/punishments.

SiriusXM host Reecie Colbert thought this part of his set was a distraction, writing, “Remember Chris Rock punched down on Jada over her alopecia condition. All the deflecting he is doing bringing up entanglements is gaslighting. He knows that the world hates a Black woman with sexual agency, so he has to make that…

I’m just curious, are there any actual journalists at The Root at this point? Now it makes perfect sense why any decent writer ran screaming from this site. Chris Rock didn’t cross any lines, that is unless you are someone that watched the special LOOKING for a reason to complain.

Please don’t call the shooter a “teenager.” He’s legally a grown-ass man (chronologically if not mentally). We rightfully call out the media when they try to “soften” the images of white 18-19 year-old killers with the “teenager” tag, so let’s not be hypocrites on this.

RE: Jim Carrey

Jussie just mad no one was talking about him.

NAAH the punk azz thing was Garrett is so CS he can’t fight without a weapon!

WOW! The ROOT is down with the brutha knocking the crap out of the cracker! What joy the ROOT has for this stuff! It’s amazing! In the real world this is assault with a deadly weapon and Garrett could conceivably be charged.  It has happened in hockey.  

Well homeboy ain’t writing no checks now cuz he ain’t getting paid no mo.

Nah. The quarterback is the target on every single down. He gets a pass at being a little chippy because everybody is always slamming him down. Besides a little pushing and pulling on the helmet is tolerable and not penalized most of the time. Whacking a dude in the bare head with an inanimate object is crossing a…

Those are only two of the four pillars. 

objectively, but also subjectively

And when you put ‘em together--BOOM, you gotta salad going.

Those are definitely words
