Christ, I got into genealogy for a while. Saw some twisted shit, but I can’t follow this. I’m thinking more now of how genius Idiocracy was for its realism.

This was a brilliant piece and a great read, Mr. Ware. Thank you. Let’s also remember that the major credit reporting institutions also got in trouble for systematically giving lower credit scores to PoC. Are they still doing it? Who knows?...because they don’t have to disclose their algorithms. They were caught last…

Well the blind gossip columns are saying this was supposed to be an attempt to prove he’s straight.

I’m 42 and I got a hand written Nigerian Prince letter in 1995 through the US postal service. No idea how I was chosen, but I was selling cars at the time. Wish I still had it. Get off my lawn! Sorry, that slipped. In my advanced age I don’t give a fuck.

Shit, I musta posted it as a comment then. Anyway, it’s not all of jez. I was there a few times a day for a while, but a few writers aren’t just tone-deaf but aggressively so.

All I did to be put back in the greys was private message a writer and ask why jez doesn’t link to the Root on stories about race instead of doing white-take reporting.

When I heard his last name was Cruz I imagined lace-front cheeto first asking about his immigration status and if they can use this to their benefit.

Cracked did a whole article about the bullshit behind those DNA tests, and had a bit about putting in a negligible amount of color in the results of a supremacist just to piss him off. Only because the premis of the article is that you can’t really gauge much from the “science” behind the markers those companies use.…

This should be very simple. If a company has a history of selectively enforcing trademark, they nullify the trademark. You have to go after them all and not just one competitor.

It’s true tho, you don’t need my comments. When I’m high I talk too much. I couldn’t delete the original comment tho, so this shit is just gonna be out there. Sorry I offended you.

Trying to ungrey your comment cuz you make a fair point. I assumed I was welcome because I love the writing and felt welcome. I wasn’t trying to impress, just show gratitude.

*meant to say the author put me back in the greys.

Thank you!!! I fled Jezebel searching for anything but them and found the best writing on the net here on The Root. I’m embarrassed I ever visited jez. I made one little mistake with those hags...sent a note asking why they don’t link to the Root on handling racial injustice stories, and instead had white girls…

She’ll write a book once she leaves him, but it will only come with 3 crayons: white, orange, gold-plate.

I would not be surprised if this were a church-related shunning of weed. I am a seriously ill person in chronic pain for years, with a deadly allergy to opiates. This bs judgment has got to stop. It has yet to be seen whether legal weed jobs will pay enough to help the community, but the taxes alone have saved so many…

What about also teaching the general public , and potential consumers, that many victims of trafficking are taught to act like they are independent and make a lot of money for college, even though they are treated as property by a pimp or network? Some guys see themselves as helping the less fortunate by engaging…

I saw income discrimination based on racial bias at every tech company in my career. I’m white and it was obvious to me, especially once you see what everyone makes. I don’t understand how anyone has trouble seeing that.

This is a great approach to income disparity. (I was just barely an executive when I had to retire due to disability, but I had come from poverty and could not afford to finish college so started at the bottom. Also, I’m white.) I want to add that you should also ask your white female colleagues what they make. Most…

“You brought that shit on yourself.” YES!!! A thousand times, Yes! Every one of these predators brought to reckoning who release a bs statement and whine about how they’re then treated...this is THE response. As always, Monique, you got this shit.

Exactly! I thought Amy was funny too, when she had a staff of writers. Her specials sucked tho. Mo’Nique is much funnier, definitely more relevant. I saw her special at that women’s prison like 6 times.
