The Root has blamed the weather on white supremacy. It’s long been a belief here that black people can’t be bigots because they lack the privilege to do anything about it. Yes, Obama has less privilege than a hopelessly deranged homeless person. Give me a break.

Simone Biles is American. Her celebrity allows her to act in ways that millions of Americans cannot. Apparently this is an opinion worthy of thinly veiled death threats and a sailor’s vocabulary worth of derogatory slurs directed at me.

You honestly believe that a group of athletes who have trained every single day almost since birth to be the very best athletes in the world are perfectly fine supporting a teammate ruining their chances in the most important event of their lives? One they may never attend again?  Have you ever played sports? There’s…

I mean, I’m talking about the same article that paints athletic pressure to play through the pain as uniquely an issue women deal with. Perhaps the author has never heard of the NFL, or any major sport for that matter?

We are too busy review bombing He-Man.

People on set with them may disagree.

You’re going to have to be a lot more creative than that.  Try harder.  I’m not triggered yet.

I mean, your comment kind of shows it’s the truth, eh?

You believe that artists should be judged by their identities rather than their talent?  Tell you what, put any of these new pop-hop artists up against any of the boom-bap legends and see who brings the skills. 

It’s supposedly because she is tall.

Yeah, that’s what they’re forced to say publicly.

It’s the same trick Hollywood is so apt to use recently.  Make a ‘woke’ piece of media and automatically any criticism of it is labeled ‘ist’.  

The reason women’s sports are typically not as popular has more to do with their comparative physical differences than misogyny.  It’s the same reason major league is more popular than the minors.  Athletes who are more accomplished at the physical tasks they must perform are obviously going to be more popular.   

I think a lot of black people’s more rampant homophobia comes from the black church.  It’s statistically more widespread than in most other races.  It’s the entire reason ‘DL’ became a saying.

What a fantastic idea.

Oh you sweet naïve child.

That doesn’t look anything like Crosby.

I’m glad one of us believes that at least.
