If you choose to argue against nonviolence, then you need to explain why ml King, obama and Mandela were wrong. I suppose there is an argument to be made, and Mandela might appear on both sides of it. But this discussoon avoids that debate. And is the poorer for doing so. Lets remember that Douglass refused to join…

The irony. Some white guys invent wakanda, now you wanna use it as an excuse to bark at white guys. As has been said: history repeats itself. First as tragedy, then as farce.

Good movie. Now let’s move along. The movie’s so-called African rituals are phoney of course. The alleged advanced African technology is also phoney. Pure marvel/Hollywood. All things considered in context that’s ok. And the money and prestige going to the black actors are real. But Barack Obama and Nelson Mandela are…

Nina Simone said it all: Mississippi goddamn!

OK, at least the main piece didn’t use profanity. That’s a big step in this forum. But other things are not right. Daddy trump is a racist, but Ivanka’s comment is good. Also I personally object to someone misappropriating the name of Frederick Douglass to express his or her personal opinion. His spirit and example…

Congrats, no profanity. But I would appreciate a better explanation of your objections. I think you mean she and her supporters are patronizing and take black voters for granted with tone deaf commercials. If so then say so directly and give us some arguments in support.

Perhaps you ought to notice that this child managed to convey strong feelings in a convincing manner without demeaning himself with profanity.

Your language is no different than trump’s. That’s a shame for both of you.

While dealing with white trash like trump, sinking to his level is tempting. But your article loses force and elegance by its use of profanity. If it’s ok for you to talk like that, why shouldn’t trump? Actually neither of you should.

I like “ former caucasian.” I don’t like comments that seem to forget that “hood “ here is a play on words. The top of the hoodie is a hood ( see e.g. little red riding hood). And yes, a black neighborhood is sometimes called the hood by its residents. Hence the play on words. Duh

given the white expert outfit the racism is obvious and the no apology apology is straight out of the trump White House, or conrad’s Heart of darkness. Unfortunately the alleged fix affixing profanity to the black boy is in poor taste and equally degrading. Perhaps more degrading since it’s a low class display by a…

Not bad. But not good enough to justify the usual profane and ignorant articles in the root. It is now a travesty of what gates started, owned as it is and underwritten by nonblacks. Hell, if I we were a Koch or Murdoch i’d give big money to continuing this rag. It’s a daily embarrassment to independently run black…

It was a depressing crappy movie. Psycoanalizing the characters is irrelevant

Distressingly vulgar.

Not bad but drop the profanity

Not bad for a change. But.... You say black schools are underfunded. Statistics please.

Crude comments about the rich and irrelevant. Smh

Poorly written and profane. Better to have said whom the white racist is and to have discredited his fake facts. Also some explanation of Sharp’s response is in order. You make it appear that he ran away from defending his views. Is that so? And if so why is that praiseworthy?

Poorly written with lots of profanity. A long fall from Gates and Dubois. Very interesting what Univision will promote as authentic blackness. Doesn’t correspond to what I think or what uplifts the race. The fact that trump does it in reverse is not an excuse or justification.

Oh hum. Where’s the context about the Austrian Hungarian dual monarchy, Hungary’s nazi history or “the great Kossuth’s” support of American black slavery? All missing. This is due to the abysmal ignorance Univision permits on this site. It started with gates, a contender for a modern dubois, and ends for now with…
