Bill Maher’s a racist douchebag that also lives in a bubble. 

The old man on the phone didn’t say the young man stole the bicycle. He said one of the young man’s friends stole the bicycle. The article should be updated and corrected.

If you sample a song from a band with 4 members where all 4 write the music, that’s 4 writers right there. If you sampled the horn from “Groove is in the Heart,” that’s 5 writers. If you took that sample and laid it over the “Amen Break” from the Winstons’ “Amen, Brother,” that’s 6 more writers. That’s 11 writers on a…

Look, stop responding to the greys, OK? You’re not the magical person who is going to suddenly put them in their place and they’re going to see the light and shut up, etc. All you do is ungrey them and move their BS to the top. Flag them or dismiss them but stop trying to set them straight because they’ll never listen.

Will Smith did slap a White dude 10 years ago and caught a lot of heat. I have no bones to pick with your other opinions.

Aaand why does this guy deserve a story? Surely there are skunks spraying porcupines somewhere that are more newsworthy than this fool.

I hope Simone has significant control over her show. I don’t want her turning into Joy Reid. There needs to be one MSNBC host who doesn’t shit all over Democrats.

Of course she meant to shoot him. Whether by tazer or gun she absolutely meant to fucking shoot him.

I doubt she will. White female cop that shot a blk man. She cried in court and said she was sorry hasnt she suffered enough? Fuck our "justice" system.

They seem to be asking for “more than $25,000" [emphasis mine]; and at this point it is a claim filed with the city, not yet a lawsuit.

Trolls gonna troll but it’s the white people who show up here and talk like they know more about the lives of black people than actual black people that really get me tho.

You missed the opportunity to spell it “PancaKKKe Breakfast” and just completely whiffed. Swing and a miss right there. C’mon, this is The Root, we expect better here.

An ex-cop once told me if a cop has more than two brain cells to rub together they make detective after a couple years. If they have more than one but less than three they make them a Seargent.

I hope she regains her health.

Did we take away Woody Allen’s Academy Awards? How about Harvey Weinstein’s awards? How about Bill Cosby’s Emmy’s, Grammy’s, and Golden Globe awards? I’m just saying there’s a lot more people that should be on this list if we’re going to be retroactively removing awards that were already earned. It’s not like anyone…

It still stuns me how that whole story disappeared after mere days.

I cannot overstate enough how much those arrests will lead directly to a shooting war.

I realized something last night, I will not understand mumble rap and I am perfectly content to blast Rock The Bells on Sirius until the lord calls me home. Last night was wonderful. Do yourselves a favor young ones, watch it.

Why are so many people so ready to say this? Black Twitter is barely reacting at all, other than just clowning the situation. Please stop contributing to the whole “Black Twitter bad” nonsense over hurt white feelings.
