1) Too long of a back story: the first two words were ample enough

It’s interesting that this article was written. I frequent this site so that I can become more educated on race relations and on the most part I accept and enjoy the articles.

Yes.

uh if the stabber had been a white man she wouldn’t have been shot, she would have been arrested. why side with the police, ever?

Because to white people the worst thing in the world is to be called racist. They think being called a racist is a bigger offense than actually being a racist. So they get super defensive when a group of people point out that the system they created and benefit from is racist. And if that group does it in an open and…

Why do white people keep repeating that BLM is just like the KKK and the Nazis? Are they really forgetting the amount of blood on their kinfolks’ hands? Or are they hoping this an alternative fact that will actually stick?

I love how you SHUT down the foolishness people try to bring to you. I get my dose of the root daily. I am so happy when I read articles from such a talented group of Black Excellence.

I find it hilarious that people assume I’m offending by such words. I first used ‘cunt’ when I was in the 3rd grade...sure, I probably shouldn’t have called my teacher that...and ended up in after school detention...but needless to say, it’s absolutely hilarious that adults think other adults are offended by some…

LMAO. I’m here for this. Sign me up for next time.

Perhaps if people, particularly black people, weren’t charged first and charges dropped later.

When a chick responds to your tirade by CALMLY taking off her shoes it means she ready and you need to run.

That was so many rights that she ended up home twice.

She’s probably dating a Hotep.

Daaamn! Who’s teaching white women to fight these days? That shit was brutal.

Well, there’s a line in the post that indicates that they may have been experiencing harassment from their neighbors.

Honestly this is what it’s going to take. While I don’t condone violence, it’s going to take white people calling out other white people on this shit. Also this is a classic case of don’t let your million dollar mouth write a check you 2 cent ass can’t cash.

I agree with you. I think people who are not on the ground can look at this political loss through philosophical lenses that just do not see the true devastation happening down here. One of my friends moved to a super rural town in Montana to be a special education teacher. The school she works at serves special needs…

Hi Crystal,

First, shouts to the young woman for speaking out. Not only is the emotional toll enough, but considering that R. Kelly will try to sue her into the poor house for speaking out, she might not be able to feed her kids after this. That was a ballsy move on her part.
