Nope, not Glenn Loury. After getting hooked on crack and going to rehab he came back to the light. Check out his last two books about mass incarceration and discrimination. I’m mixed on McWhorter because his work on linguistics is top notch and legit.

It’s called history. Most warmer places in the States(And the Americas overall) have a history of near feudal like rule which has left these places generally underdeveloped, with less social services, opportunities and a backwards ass economy. That is changing for some places in the south but they are still generally…

Public shaming? This guy shamed himself, in public. Are you kidding? And yes, shaming works.

He didn’t win because he can actually sing and sang an actually good well crafted song which kind of goes against the campy spirit of Eurovison. And of course, someone like SuRie can sing too but they at least gave her an Eurovision appropriate tune to have fun with.

Because there is no way black people would disagree with The Root? There is no way we could come up with a clever hashtag mocking a very mockable news blog?

White owned media is quite different from white own clothes and other products. My clothes don’t influence public opinion.

How are you helping your arguments by going after his appearance? Maybe he does live at home, maybe he’s taking care of his mother, who knows. It doesn’t matter. If he did the same to a women you’d call him a misogynist. Attack his ideas, not his home and wear.

Oh jeez, lighten up, it’s a joke. There is definitely a Root style and audience that is prime for parody. It’s not that serious. The Root has good pieces sometimes but the writers, especially Harriot, can be thin skinned which is ironic given that they are accusing of straight black men of being the same.

I mean, if you can’t take the joke than maybe you’re the one’s with the “tiny, inadequate penises egos”.

I knew I was a nerd because most of other black people, including the black girls, called me a nerd. It wasn’t an identity I willingly embraced but something that others foisted upon me. The present “rise of the nerd” is a new thing, nobody was trying to be a nerd in the 80's and 90's. I, and others like me, were…

Or maybe you just date indecisive men. Being indecisive and pussyfooting is hardly something you can lay at the feet of men in general.

C’mon, this is naked sexism right here, plain and simple. And not even rooted in reality or empiricism, just your seemingly unshakeable conviction and bias.

A gap in the real estate market! We must rectify this at once! Let’s set aside a few billion dollars to develop a program to encourage men to buy property. Also, we should extend our full resources to determining how much discrimination men face in the housing market and pass measures to ensure men get a fair shake.…

What straight black man is taking credit for Beyonce’s success? or Oprah’s? Of Janelle Monae’s? Or Ana Duvernay?

Really? What straight black males are being called genius these days, other than Ta Nehisi Coates?

But she didn’t kill the pimp, she killed the john.

I’m too lazy to grab the stats, but while blacks do overall disproportionately receive government assistance for living expenses, it’s actually less proportionate when you take into account who qualifies. In other words, a smaller percentage of black Americans who qualify for assistance actually take it in relation…

You switch the two inner letters of his surname and you get Balrog, so of course he’s going to make a beast of a game.

As sexists as the Sky deity worshippers who blame women for the worlds troubles? And you really can’t “Stan” for a non-belief. We’re all atheist by default.

There was no Christianity in West Africa till the colonizers came. Just saying.
