yeah literally all I got from this is “oh sweet, Kotick is sad, that rules”

I find myself wishing that the jury could find on behalf of the court system and the public, and hold both parties financially responsible.

“Hey everyone! Let’s stop what we’re doing and let Bobby Kotick lecture us about morality and decency in business!”

Bobby Motick is a piece of shit, who cares what he has to say.

Hi, just a friendly reminder that Bobby Kotick is a piece of shit and the world would be better off if literally the entire fleet of Greyhound busses ran over him (and the rest of Activision-Blizzard executive leadership, for that matter).

“And I know a lot about obvious disappointing behavior for almost 30 years!”

In all the cases I’ve read about over the years, there’s only 1 I can think of that was actually a false allegation.  I think it’s time we just take these women at their word and stop worrying about false allegations as a knee jerk reaction.

Why do they always have to make it a Tesla ad?

I wondered how long before this showed up here. I saw it on Friday and the best part is the tire getting in one final shot.

Kia Soul tried to get into heaven. Was denied.

The audacity of the tire to come back for a final mocking hit is really the icing on the cake here.

The white politicans who’ve brandished weapons in campaign ads— or on Christmas cards with their whole family (including kids) armed— have been called out. Since the Sandy Hook School Shooting a over decade ago, there’s been plenty of voices raised about white men with guns. Given that half the homocides by guns in…

I think both play a role because cultures don’t exist in vacuums. They overlap. Just as hip hop culture overlaps with aspects of larger black culture; gun culture plays a role in hip hop culture. Actually some would argue that it’s rap culture that exists within the larger hip hop culture. 

Your article here really reminds me of the deep cultural reflections of The Root alumni Danielle Belton, Damon Young, Michael Harriot, Maiysha Kai, and Panama Jackson.

I disagree with your take on one principle - it is GENERALLY foolish to disparage the long term behavorial effects of having two parents in the household vs. the long term behavorial effects of having only one person in the household.

Reading this alongside the story on people calling Jonathan Majors out for being feminized (https://www.theroot.com/the-cock-shaming-stupidity-of-toxic-masculinity-1850136337) as the flip side of the same thing. Majors is an intelligent, talented, accomplished, attractive, and lauded Black man. The idea of his…

Maybe have a talk with one of the writers here who thinks it’s ok for a Black Man to assault another in public just because they don’t like them?  Their childish glee is embarrassing.

It is less about hip hop culture and more about gun culture. There are more guns in this country than people.

This is less about black culture and more about Hip Hop culture. They are not one in the same. I watched an interview with Penny Hardaway the other day in which he talked about people don’t realize how hard it is to be a young black man with millions of dollars. It is hard for young people who can’t afford sky high…

Too often, Black men who reject this grammar or do not embody it are viewed as soft or white.
