I’ll make sure the slugger’s lawyer sees this comment you made: “The Root’s experts believe that her cousins are probably going to fuck him up.”

She’s a child and he’s an adult. He would’ve expected an adult dealing with his daughter in a similar situation, to exercise restraint. Granted. He should’ve.

Surely there’s a difference between a movie that shows instances of racist violence that are either historical or intended to demonstrate the sickness of those actions, and a music video that actively calls for killing people because of their race? This is a false equivalency of the highest order. Ditto comparing it…

The little jackal came back (after shoving the dude and getting pushed away) like a savage beast with her fists up.  She deserved a lot worse. Kudos to the man for being “Foster father of the year” even if it was for 5 seconds.

Here’s the reality... she made contact with him first (based on the video). When she attempted to come at him again he shoved her. She then comes back with her hands up ready to fight. He reacted. Was his reaction too strong..yes. Was she at fault as well.. yes. But all of you armchair quarterbacks claiming you would…

Gender is a construct. 

so funny to see how comments here are complete 180 from those on twitter.

Re minds me of this

So a group of teens surround a man, jeering and hooting, and he finally defends himself when attacked.

You’re a fool. You could have been killed. What, kids never carry weapons? Or get a lucky shot in and and knock you down on concrete? A gang attacks me, I could give ZERO shits their age, gender, socio-economic position, membership in a historically disenfranchised group, or anything else - I’m hauling off till…

Here we go, let’s look at an example where a white boy - approximately the same age as the girls in this video - gets thrown to the ground by a grown man. Did this kid deserve it? Remember, he’s white. 

So you’re surrounded by a group of feral kids that are coming at you and your family, pushing, taunting & threatening. Some idiot has his phone out to video the whole thing and attempt to escalate it. The guy has enough and drops one of the most aggressive that was charging at him. But because of her race and *supposed…

Violence is never the solution. That being said, why were these unruly teenager trying to antagonize this dude? You clearly see one girl push him from behind, what exactly was their end game? I’ve been attacked before by a gang of 12 and 13 year olds and I had to do everything in my power not to fight them, but I…

Do you plan to have FEMA bail you out? This is something that will keep you alive in an emergency. That's how it's marketed.

The Whataboutism is hardly ever framed that way; it always makes the perpetrators are victims in this system. They are not. If the actual victims were the focus of these discussions, there would have to be a different narrative. Then we could acknowledge that it’s a travesty that R. Kelly has taken 25 years to receive…

Let’s be real here, if this was middle class black people moving in, you would still have some of the same issues. I can’t speak about Harlem because I’ve never lived there, but I can speak on the city in which I live. Like in other cities, 311 is used to report code violations, noise complaints, etc. A survey that…

You’trying to push the wrong narrative here. Police had nothing to do with this shooting. This was most likely black on black crime and yes, the shooters might have lenghty police records.

Slighty sneaky don’t you think? In your entire article claiming that black people have it worse, you never once mention that despite black people making up just 13% of the population, they commit a disproportionate amount of crime in relation to their population. (Of course you can cite rasicm, bias, poverty, etc and…

Chance of getting killed by a cop in this country, apparently: 0.145% (or, if you will, 1 in 687 police officers killed someone last year)
