If ESPN or any other company’s policies state that employees aren’t allowed to share their personal opinions on their personal Facebook pages or Twitter accounts, then you either abide by them, or don’t sign the agreement, or take them to court over it, or go work somewhere that doesn’t try to own their employees…

As full of shit as this article is, your response to it nearly matches it. No one is putting a gun to the heads of professional football players, POC or not, and forcing them to play this stupid game. Greed and a desire to be famous are the real motivators here.

Fresh and witty. I don’t know how you guys do it; keeping the quality level of your writing so high whilst simultaneously putting out new content so often. Other sites would be content barfing out tired garbage, but not The Root.

This is the dumbest article I’ve ever read on The Root. It’s not clever, it’s not informative and it doesn’t make you think. It’s just a lump of angry, silly, stupid word vomit.

Oh, fuck you. First off, Officers Jackson and Ray went above and beyond for this woman and her family. They were presented with the opportunity to do something good, and they did it. But cops are just people, just like the rest of us. You can’t blame them for everything that every bad cop does, anymore than you can…

While it is true that the Nina and the Pinta were not the official names of two of Columbus’ ships (they were nicknames that the crew gave the ships) there was a Santa Maria, and it was wrecked on Christmas Eve, 1492 when it hit a coral reef off the coast of what is now Haiti.

As sad as that statement is, you’re probably right. Sure, there are white people who have conceded equality, and there are white people who have always believed it. But there will also always be those who, either consciously or unconsciously believe, despite the mountains of evidence to the contrary, in white…

Or, instead of replacing Columbus with another person, we could replace him with a statue honoring a group of people or a particular event. I’m not saying that Nat Turner or Jean-Jaques Deadlines aren’t worthy of statues, or that they did anything wrong, necessarily, but people are flawed and whether those flaws are…

I’m sorry, but the presumption that white liberals think that Mike Pence is “just fine” is bullshit, and his not-fineness goes beyond his “polite” white supremacy. He’s also a religious zealot, a homophobe, an islamophobe, and entirely anti-feminist. The only time Pence looks anywhere near acceptable is in comparison…

On and on these Joel Osteen articles go, spending paragraph after paragraph trying to explain what can be explained in two sentences:

Boxing is a ridiculous, barbaric and stupid “sport” that we should have stopped supporting or paying attention to decades ago.

Surveillance video of Mnuchin’s office. Any news footage of her looking at him and smiling. Wal-Mart bargain bin DVD’s

Yeah, these two totally married each other for love.

Well, now I’m confused. I thought Eric was the dumb one and Don Jr. was the Nazi one.

Hate ages you. Here’s proof.

Bullshit. White supremacy has existed throughout the history of the United States, and that’s something we’ve struggled with terribly, but it is not and never will be the “foundation” of our country...and even if it was, your article wouldn’t be helpful to anyone, at all, in the least. This is fatalistic, paranoid,…

Trump, while disgusting to a degree that beggars the imagination, isn’t to blame for your relationship with your mother. Your mother is to blame.

She *is* talking to the people you say you can’t reach.

Informative, but at the end of the day, my question is “so what?” - so black people owned slaves. So some of those slaves were white. So what? That doesn’t lessen the impact of slavery and it doesn’t take away one iota of the moral authority that black folks have when it comes to denouncing slavery and/or the…

Oh, shut the fuck up already you Nazi bastard. You hateful, small, vile little coward. You want guidance? Leave. Leave this country, never come back, never darken our community with your presence again.
