Well, to be fair, isn’t EVERYTHING part of gods plan? Famine, death, kids with cancer, Alzheimer’s, Nazi’s, etc... It’s a very shitty plan, but his people seem to believe in it for some reason (or total lack thereof).

Jesus Christ, does the article author really not want ANY white people in African-Americans’ corner anymore when it comes to civil rights? Or is “white allies” now a dogwhistle for something I don’t understand? Like “fake white people who just want to be down but secretly hate black people”?

So based on your knee-jerk antipathy towards white producers/directors/etc., you’d rather Amistad, A Soldier’s Story, Glory, and The Color Purple, for a few examples, had never been made?

Yes, to the same degree that the *entire human race is.* Literally saying “all whites are _____” is racism.

That’s an important distinction, but also, one that doesn’t matter in the least because either way THIS SHIT IS FUCKED UP AND COMPLETELY WRONG. It would just put some different nuance on the fucked-up-ness, is all.

Who the fuck does El Salvador think it is? Texas?

How come women can’t go sleeveless when Paul Ryan is allowed to go spineless?

Coppola signed on to direct the film, set in the Civil War, before Lemonade was released (March 2016 v April 2016.)

As much as I loathe cops at this point, I feel like the rage should be directed at the unions, who have pushed for the laws that these guys are relying on in court to get off.

Your the only trash hear fucker.

“The Root” needs to define its nonsense terms once and for all.

Man wouldn’t I like to know. I think we’re just one race, with many individuals who have unique points of view. We can see that as an obstacle in our path, or as the way to see around obstacles. One way gets us farther up the path faster. These qualities of colour are subjective, doesn’t anyone else imagine what our…

What are the distinguishing qualities of “blackness” and what are the distinguishing qualities of “whiteness”?

Nigga, Nigger. These are two different words, they have context sure, they have historical significance sure, but what they don’t have is an owner. Words are tools. Like a digital copy of something in the public domain, anyone can use them. A butcher knife has no inherent morality, nigger doesn’t either. I’m not white…

I actually think the open hate doubles the size of their base. Like, “Oh, the GOP is full of racist, xenophobic, women-hating trolls? I’m in!” I live in NH, where I am shocked to see so many Trump yard signs and bumper stickers. Like, the only minorities here work in the hotels and support staff at the hospitals, and…

What Would It Take for a Sex Robot to Pass a Turing Test? Less than you might think ...
