Lincoln did in fact fight for a slave free United States, and he also said to Douglass there is no man’s opinion I value more. He also said that God had determined that every drop of blood drawn by the lash would be answered by one drawn by the sword. Give the man his due.

Your article is misleading in that the trademark extends only to imitations of the movie/play. The words themselves and the phrase are not restricted or reserved to Disney. 

It is not antisemetic to call for an Arab Palestine, to oppose the racist Netanyahu or even to oppose the existence of the state of Israel. Those who think their power in the world allows them to get away with such sloppy thinking mistake their ability to induce fear with making good sense. And I say this as one who…

Thank you and if your figures are right then root needs to stand down. There is plenty of Hispanic racism against blacks but the facts are the facts and quoting them is not racist

This guy talks like too many root columnists write. Better sign him up! Or better yet all of you try thinking instead of cursing.

This is a political critique, right or wrong. I come away with no idea how the movie stands up artistically. Granted some things require a political critique, and the hell with the art— birth of a nation for instance. But this movie is nowhere near THAT line. So give it a break with the political bs and try evaluating…

I respect Reid. I also respect standing down for $90,000,000 in donations which is what Jenkins did. Malcolm x once mused that his primary role was to show why it was better to deal with Martin Luther king.

Your insults to the husband are trashy and ignorant. Who made you the judge of all things black? I still regret Gates’ decision to sell the root down the river to this low level.

The rule needs to be clear and equally enforced. You can disagree about the cotton rule, but that isn’t a race issue. Given the considerable clothing some Muslim women choose to wear in the pool, requiring appropriate materials makes good sense. The same would be true with other sects.

Granting the truth of the facts stated, there remains work for Haitians to do about their politics and their economy. And of course they will have do it without the help of their neighbor Dominicans who look down on Haiti as so black. Which leads to a big surprise when Dominicans land in the us and discover they’re…

Can you all write without profanity? 

I’ll accept this bitter story as all true. But still deny that it’s appropriate for Father’s day. The decision to print it on Father’s day is a poor choice by the editors.

The problem is real. But when one of the offenders is nonwhite the nature of the response has to be adjusted too. This article makes no adjustment to do that, which seriously undercuts the value for the article. How to deal with Uncle Toms is different in my view from dealing with whites. Of course in this case the…

Proving once again that stupidity knows no color boundaries. What else is she incapable of either understanding or conveying to our children? Perhaps she can now go be jason riley’s Assistant

I oppose repeal of Dodd franks. That said, the senate bill doesn’t repeal much of it, and while I’d vote no, Doug jones is not racist for voting for it. Further the house gop has said it opposes the senate bill as too moderate; I guess you missed that. I’d also note Jones certainly was better than Moore. And you’re…

So it’s also prosegregation. The naacp should object to this kkk agenda in every school district. Remember the naacp? This is why it exists. Are you supporting it?

Farrakhan is an antisemite. people of good will should denounce that. Farrakhan has also done good things for America through the black community. People of good will should applaud that. That’s not complicated.

Disgusting and racist. That’s the cop and the Arbitrator. I hope the assailee sues the cop and the city for the damages they owe him.

Wow. The article and many of the comments are very offensive. So she’s not black enough for you, eh? And wakanda let’s face it looks as western as Cape Town. I am always offended when mixed blacks tell us how they’re biracial (or cablasian). I’m no less offended when you write off biracial people, who actually include…
