Didn’t realtors already try to rebrand it “Central Park North” in the ‘90s?

Don’t respond and take them out of the greys. I’m afraid that the Root is being targeted. If we don’t respond, they’ll get bored and go back to their basements.

No, because they think Black kids are troublesome as are Black patrons so they’d rather discourage them.

Oh, in Oakland it was some fucked up drawing of a caveman (white tho) going “we’ll buy your ugly house”. (This was on billboards all over.) It was Banks and fucking Investor groups that wanted to do a cosmetic overhaul, and charge triple to white folks. To rent, not to sell. Like Oakland and Emeryville made it through…

It’s incredible isn’t it? It’s one thing to hold racist views in private, but to let them dictate your every action to the point of publicly denying candy to children? Even when you must know there’s good chance it could get you into a world of trouble? That seems to indicate that racism is the most important aspect…

White business moves into a historically black area. Refuses to cater to black clientele and turns away black children (whilst welcoming white children with open arms). From looking at this cafe’s online reviews, the black customers (who managed to get through the front door) were also treated badly.

If he REALLY was treating this like a business and not as a vindictive dick-bag, he would attempted to sell it, sell the assets, restructure it, or numerous other things that would have allowed him to recover/make money.

1. FUCK Joe Ricketts. He’s a fucking plague.

Wow, whoever could have imagined shady recruiting by a Bruce Pearl staff? Auburn hired him while he was still under a three-year show-cause penalty from his tenure at Tennessee. 

Err why were the age of consent laws based on sexuality?

My preferences are “forced-pregnancy,” “pro-birth,” or “anti-choice.”

“I will not use the GOP marketing phrase “pro-life.” Who’s not for people living?”

Counterpoint: baseball is almost never as fun as it has been during this World Series.

Let’s be real, Rich Hill would probably crank bombs off of you if you pitched to him today.

I’m gonna be that guy: it’s Chuck Berry, not James Brown.

He hit .212 in the regular season with an OPS 109 points below last year’s in 153 fewer plate appearances, and he wants to get paid?

Johnny Manziel would be proud. Speaking of proud...where are all the crusty old white fans bitching about this white showboat? He was acting just like the brown players last night. Tell me more about Stan Musial, Gramps.

Oh, Michael. What a great piece, thank you. I was feeling drained this morning after reading some of the comments in the Jelani Maraj post, putting the onus back on the mother, instead of Jelani.
