Let’s also keep in mind that Haitians continue to be expelled & deported. I’m not supposed to point this out but the Biden administration recently hit a grim milestone of expelling over 20,000 Haitians - two-thirds of whom were forcibly removed (under title 42 policy!) - despite the danger & instability & political…

So, does that pledge make up for his numerous insults and putdowns of Black women (in one case actually threatening violence on a black reporter, Alexis Mc Cammond)? I say NO! Plus Charles Barkley continues to be a buffoon.

Let’s give Megan Rapinoe due props! She’s been consistent in words, actions, and money! She’s for real!!

Its amazing that until recently Brown Sugar was as mainstream as it gets over the radio, given its sexist & racist lyrics. I wonder if Miss Arnold ever objected to the song’s slave trade & plantation rape narrative?

“There was a plantation feel about it like I was a plaything.”

lol....okay, creative mischief!

It is possible to be joyful and enjoy yourself without self-degradation and playing into the worst stereotypes of black women. And don’t worry, I expected my take to be the unpopular one here @TheRoot. Sadly.

Nothing new here.. just the usual Republican meanness..and they are good at it.

“Me? I’m going to be joyful, free, and unbothered.”

Trump became president because the democratic party with Hillary Clinton run a shitty campaign and Hillary was disliked by mostly her kind... Also white America is anti-black as fuck and Trump tapped into that.

Nah.. she’s being too cute with both the language & logic and tripping all over herself! Stacy Abrams is a democrat and like the rest of the party establishment they see no reason to take our issues seriously or be steadfast about the Black agenda. Even Rev Sharpton, like other members of the Black political buffer…

This is a form of slavery denial!! It’s also a deep insult to the memory & legacy of our ancestors! We’ve got to fight this shit from every angle and collect and file the names of those trying to wipe out our history. We must never allow our enemies to redefine our past cause once they do that shit they'll be well on…

Surreal...Had Hollywood scripted this would we have believed it? These guys were serious - that shit was an attempted coup! Sad part is that Trump is now a cult leader and his followers won’t give a damn! I wonder whats going thru the minds of Black Republicans? How do they justify their continuing presence in what’s…

Yep! Plus we need to stop electing spineless establishment types.

“Never believed them”? Well duh, did anyone seriously believe them? Not me!

And I absolutely agree with you!!

Ah yes...It’s always such a beautiful & refreshing thing when Republicans speak truth in public. Now watch her win whatever she's  running for. Most white  people eat up such madness.

You need to feel this way to satisfy the anti-black feelings floating around in your membrane. The Black community has never been the enemy or oppressors of Gay folks, so stop that shit! Check your western history & religious texts, then choose your enemies carefully.

Though i’ve been concerned about the high number of abortions in the Black community, this decision is nuts! I see it as a personal attack on women from a Supreme Court now packed with zealots. Are we in the 21st century or not?

That’s it right there...Amen!
