We have individual voices at The Root, and highly individual approaches to each story. I’m fine here, and share mutual appreciation with my team for what we each bring to the table.

Or maybe she doesn’t want to go to a march whose organization is helmed by four shitty women who support a guy who’s anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and anti-gay.

Sarsour, when I asked her about Guereca’s criticism, detailed some of the death threats that she has received

Farrakhan is anti-Semitic.  Denouncing  him would be a step in the right direction. Until this happens, I will not march with their organization.  If I can't  feel comfortable, that is my choice. Such a shame. I would think the organizers could relate. I guess not. 

I’m surprised you didn’t address the Tablet article about the group’s leaders and the allegations of financial mismanagement in addition to the alleged anti-semitism. 

A lot of the Criticism I is not in bad faith. I’m a woc color and I think they all should go. I can’t be with the NOI and be in the women’s march. There are many WOC that can take the lead who aren’t anti-Semitic. But at this point any woc that is on the level wouldn’t want to touch this shit show. Your soft touch…

They tried to make her go to rehab
she said, “yes, yes, yes”

Maiysha doesn’t get enough credit as a writer which is a shame. Because she is consistently knocking it out the park.

Louis Farrakhan has “reservations” about gay people?

Agreed. It’s very well done. Lots of minefields. 

Agreed. There are clearly a lot of complicated dynamics at play and this summary is very even handed in describing all of them. 

Thank you. That was my intent.

This is a great, even-handed overview of the situation and the views of the various players. Thank you.

Well, Dorsey is very obviously aching to say, “they are right! these whores and gays and foreigners are ruining everything!”

I think Dorsey is scared to say, that, no, they are not going to self censor.  I am sure after being supoenaed for some hours of questioning and bullying in the House of Representatives, he will soften up a bit.  

“Born Tarnished” should be Twitter’s tagline.

As a poor, it just makes me almost hate the people in the sponcon ads because I’m sick of seeing wealth and privilege flaunted so conspicuously. Like, I get that the whole idea is aspirational advertising, but it just turns me the fuck off... and these ads make me much less trusting of the product (or resort or…

I remember way back when Ashley Feinberg was posting Shrek porn on Deadspin, now she’s doing better interviews than most at the major networks.

This is a nightmare. This is out of control spon-con. I’m sitting here at my computer with my Dawson Brocade Sweater tastefully clashing with my Keith Metallic-Trim Joggers, head in my hands, wondering what is wrong with the world.
