First off, telling racists that they have no place in the military isn’t a weak response at all. Second, writing a word is NOT akin to rape, no matter how upsetting and foul the word is, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself for even suggesting it. Finally, on what charge should Gen. Silveria “prosecute” the…

And once again, The Root can’t manage to write an honest headline.

It’s very simple - The Root is the Kobayashi Maru test for the thoughts, comments, ideas and questions of white people. There is no way to “win” here. If you agree with an article, do so briefly and quietly, or you’re either looking for attention or trying to prove that you’re “woke” so you can get invited to the…

Of course, the only people who need this explained to them would never read an article on The Root.

There’s a lot of empty space in his head, so the contradictions can fit.

The idea that only “old white men with pointed hoods in their closets” swear and/or say the n-word in anger is ridiculous on its face. White supremacy is real, but it’s far from the only source of racism in this country.

Great article with some great points of view, but I take issue with the term “white queer organization”, because they don’t exist. There are LGBTQ organizations that focus specifically on POC, but there are none that I am aware of that focus only on the needs of the white LGBTQ community or ignore the needs of LGBTQ…

One person with half a brain and awareness of the world around them would have sufficed. Sometimes I think that writers at The Root go too far in their criticisms, and then something like this happens and I think “Whelp, fuck - guess they aren’t overreacting after all”

What do you even call this? I feel like I’m insane. It’s like looking at Caucasian Cthulhu.

While your statement is absolutely, positively 100% correct, your example picture leaves much to be desired. Stephen Miller isn’t a good example of a clean-cut American anything - he’s barely acceptable as an example of a human being.

What one’s mind conjures up depends at least in part on where they’re from, who they know, and what experiences they have. To be perfectly honest, the first image that popped into my head when I read that term was a white woman in northern Michigan, which is a rural/vacation area and also where I’ve lived for the last…

Why don’t you go away instead Monique? In fact, why don’t you and Michael both go away for a while, get some goddamn perspective, and stop acting like a couple of heartless assholes?

Your tone and your attempts to be clever trivialize Schultz’s death, because the only lives that you give a shit about are black ones. That makes you a good voice for black folks, but it also makes you a pretty shitty human being. It also makes you an asshole.

Oh, we’re giving out redemption and throwing around “buts” and “he did his times” for ‘ol Ma’lik, eh? My, my that’s awfully forgiving of you.

No, IT ISN’T necessary, or factually correct. If you’d take your head out of your ass, you wouldn’t erase the suffering of one group of children in order to highlight the suffering of another group of children.

“Feel our rage” seems to be the likely option they will take. After all, it’s easier to let black folks go out and protest, block some streets, scream and yell for a few days, maybe some rioting, maybe some violence, and then things go right back to the way they were. This is the same story with different names and…

Are white people under attack in any way that really matters?

At which point your monocle drops out of your eye?

Kwame is a dickhead of the highest order because of his arrogance? Naaaaaw, he doesn’t get off that easy. Kwame is a dickhead of the highest order because he’s a thief, a liar, and a con-man. Kwame is a dickhead of the highest order because he put himself above the city at every turn. Kwame is a dickhead of the…

And there is also the the fact that Christians regularly ignore some of what the Bible says, picking and choosing which rules to follow. There are things that are specifically prohibited in the Bible that Christians do all the time, yet almost no one considers them to be a “sin” and there are things the Bible says are…
