This shit gets so tiring. I just read about a restaurant manager who threw a chair at a black teen because another black guy allegedly came in and robbed them two weeks before. There are no police record of him being robbed and he hadn’t reported it to store owners but because of something another black person…

“Yes, these allegations are horrific but they are just allegations. Take down the music when he is found guilty in a court of law and not public opinion or trending topics on social media.”

So since his money and a good lawyer were able to get him off, we should pretend the video of him fucking and pissing on a 14 year old doesn’t exist?

“I’m sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner. I love you,”

“It’s not fair, so what, just deal with it” has to be the most short-sighted, overused and ignorant take ever. Statement old as time that has been used to death against most minorities from birth to death.

This was too brazen for this to have been their first time shooting at someone over bullshit. Losing a child to senseless, random violence has to be one of the worst things a family has to deal with.

Because Eric Black Jr wasn’t the only person in the car. There was a white man also who hasn’t been named. Both him and Eric Black are claiming they were driving and the other pulled the trigger. 

So are we really pretending that Madonna hasn’t been walking around with this bad butt job since 2016?

Thanks. You just proved my point with this:

All you had to do was google “gun violence” and “The Root” to answer you question, but I guess that was too much for you to do.

It’s used more places than just The Root. It seems odd that you would pretend that it isn’t since it’s old ass slang that has been used for years before the Root even existed. 

I’m shocked that Mary J Blige didn’t participate but I am not shocked by Erykah Badu. Badu has said some ignorant victim blamey shit when it comes to sexual assault against young women. I don’t think it would have been a good look for her to participate anyway. She’s a rape apologist who saw “something good in Hitler”…

Who knows, but she probably wouldn’t say anything. She repeatedly dodged questions about it when asked or outright lied. As far as she was concerned, while alive, that part of her life didn’t happen and she refused to speak on it. 

Throw this plate in the trash, it has too much salt.

Was thinking the same until I read about a weapon being involved.

The team behind Us, Universal and Monkeypaw, has basically been conducting a marketing masterclass for its upcoming debut trailer, set to drop on December 25 (a scary Christmas present, if you will).

How dare a young black woman be student body president at “American” University? Let’s put this bitch in her place and MAGA.

My favorite out of all of these was the scene with Papa. Love The Chi. I need the new season to bring its ass on.

He looks like the crypt keeper with skin. 

All of the facts are in, there is no other hidden information. The bank has already apologized and admitted they fucked up with how they handled the situation.
