Except that the NFL has known about the effects for decades, your parents didn’t.

I don’t think cash grab is entirely fair here. The NFL knew for a very long time this was happening to athletes, including suicide and domestic violence in previously non-violent men. If they really have turned a blind eye to ruining their players minds, and their lives, they should pay. Just my opinion though. I also…

Thanks so much Yesha. I should have just googled it but my mind hysterically went to laughing at Un creating a new insult- to protect my sanity from the truth in that letter. This is just mind-boggling. I’m reading through it thinking how rational and elegantly worded...then oh right, they’re gonna bomb us. Fuck.…

I’m dying...please, someone, tell me what a dotard is.

I was getting sick for years. Doctors couldn’t help. I turned to alternative medicine, as one does when desperate and losing everything that matters. It didn’t make sense but I had money and thought the worst is it won’t work. I spent a ton, went everywhere, tried all the recommendations. Came away in the same shape,…

But your brain is the same normal size. This is different than alcohol. Also, it seems ironic, but despite being tasty, edibles aren’t for newbies. They are much stronger and you can’t snap yourself out of it. On a little bit of smoked or vaped weed you can will yourself to think properly. They just make edibles like…

Picture it! Sicily, 1934... nope, wait, that’s Sophia. Picture it! Mid-90s grunge, graduation night, Pacific Northwest. Ripped 3 bowls of BC bud in a row, with one hit each. The only time I ever hallucinated on weed. Everything in my mind was animated in the flintstones style. I asked my friend how I got home (to the…

Michael Harriet, I really love your work. But you were way too kind here. I respect your reserve. I wouldn’t have had as much. This white trash trinket bought at trumpland America theme park is making fun of her lyrics. As an old white chick who grew up loving hip hop people have sent this kind of crap around for…

Not sure if this helps enlighten, but I’m in my 40s and when I started with weed at 18, I can tell you now since having tried it all over the country, the weed was amazing because it was all from British Columbia- south to Humbolt, Northern California. Generally this means it’s fresh (potency wanes over time) and it’s…

If an alleged victim wanted to come forward to the press, they absolutely can. Why the call for more gossip, publicly? Just so Jezebel can try to redeem itself with an exclusive on a story they’ve already been called out for misreporting? This is cheap, even for jez. If you have info for a story and it’s not enough,…

Even with all this, they can’t teach a white kid what it’s like to be black or anyone what it’s like to be an antebellum era slave. Doing the exercise might fool people into thinking they have some idea. Masking tape and a dark room doesn’t come close but pretends to.

“Do you understand how hard that is? To get a woman that can think on a logistic, like, term?”

Agree. It seems they didn’t admit it was an obvious act of racism until she tweeted. She was a lot calmer about it than I would be, but if she acted like some of us would it would get twisted. I admire Halle for that.

Yeah, I’m white too and I would NEVER use that word. You jumped at the chance to type it here on The Root...WHY!? Then you compare the burden of being PoC with being leftmotherfuckinghanded. You can’t call yourself a philosopher just because you think your opinion matters here. They don’t need a devil’s advocate, they…

I believe a medical examiner has to sign off on time of death, which when they arrive will be estimated based on all the info they have, including interviewing medics.

It’s 2017. Too late, by a century. Boycotted!

Agree! And....Aww, thanks for saying “some.” I’m white but I come here cuz you can’t get this real news anywhere else. And I read the comments with my palm on my face because so much white people shit embarrasses the hell out of all of us. I wanna say sorry every time I see a story like this. But there’s no way I’d…

I lived that show! I was so pissed when they canceled it in favor of ghost whisperer.

I think in another article McDonald actually called going into a real bodega “terrifying.” Man, if I’m looking for a new apartment I scout for a bodega and/or fruit stand. Being afraid is fucking stupid and racist.

You just described most of Kansas. (Ok all of it, but I’m trying to be nice.) I lived in wichita a couple years and at least when the cops shot my friend it was rubber bullets, but those cops and that whole system are designed to fuck people over. Their “welcome to...” signs need civil rights warnings, as in there…
