Have this thought. You probably ARE racist. Why? Hit dogs holler. If you come to The Root and feel any way other than empathy and sympathy, then yes. Maybe check yourself and your privilege and NOT come to a site for and by black folks. Clearly, you are not there to learn like the majority of the none POC that come to…

And frankly speaking I do not feel there’s imperative to be ‘anti-racist’.

Bookmarking this to distribute to co-workers and friends. Excellent article. We need more education and less bubble-massaging.

LOL cry more because he touched a nerve with you.

Honestly, I’ve rarely heard lyrics with less room for ambiguity - every single line is about systemic racism; you really have to listen with only half an ear to miss it. Which a lot of people sure did! There’s a lot going on that could distract you from paying attention to the lyrics. But the song was mocked - among,…

I am so excited for this. I loved the book and I’m interested to see what Peele et al can do with this. I’m hoping it becomes HBO’s next True Blood, at least in terms of longevity.

Better than me. I told them Laurel, and they wrote Yanni. ;)

My biggest Starbucks misspelling to date: Told him “Rachel,” he wrote “Heather.” 

People always shun me when I suggest PB & Mayo. But it’s so good. AT LEAST try a bite before you knock it, I say! They do not. Their loss.

Some of the snark here (and you’re not the only outlet messing this up) is somewhat undeserved.

Hey, maybe Nightbreed is next? That’d work better as a limited series imo. 

Before all hell broke loose with the coronavirus, I was volunteering for a couple of hours a week at a local elementary school to help kids one-on-one with their reading skills. My hat is off to teachers; what it takes to keep a classroom of kids engaged and learning is no easy feat, and it’s not something that the…
