Great letter but in this context not really impressed. 

Same difference

“..they will shut up when they are done.”

What took yall so long? They are now in spoiled brat mode! Narcissist to the core! I gave up on Meghan Markle after her Uvalde, Texas, shooting memorial site visit—it was such a publicity stunt.

They are the same in that they’ve been selected by the same forces and answer to the same bosses. And of course too many of us will be dazzled by the skin pigmentation instead of the agenda. Sadly, Hakeem is ten times the lackey that Obama was..and scarier!

Nah, cancel culture has always been a thing ever since.

Good lord, why is this even a point of contention? And why is it dangerous to point out the fact that Black women/African diaspora females are particularly strong, given the 400 years of white wickedness they had to endure, especially at the hands of white men? Surviving the middle passage, the auction block, chattel…

In this case both black faces are being used to shore up the system! Hakeem Jeffries is being used to maintain the Democratic party establishment, its corporate sponsors, and its softer version of white supremacy. Byron Donalds is obviously a prop & useful idiot for the Republicans naked white supremacy agenda, which…

I totally Agree...

Am I supposed to be impressed by this bit of madness? Why does this article have an almost celebratory tone to it? Come on TheRoot. Smdfh

Absolutely! Just go to the video tape—no doubt those fowls would be instant red cards today, with a few resulting in send-offs & ejections!

Not being “hang up” on interracial dating, just pointing out the fact that a hero of mine didn’t see romantic potential in Black Brazilian women. Now tell us why you're  so defensive & feel  threatened by that observation?

All the flowery words are okay but simply put Pele was and will remain the greatest football/soccer player ever. At this point it’s not even close, even though I’m all for Maradona, Messi & Mbappe being close seconds. Pele & samba football is eternal!

Yikes, TheRoot didn’t have the decency to honor the greatest football/soccer player ever with a separate article. Quite telling and sad.

Whoopi has never been particularly bright and I suspect there’s some unresolved Jewish issues bubbling deep down which isn’t healthy. She may state that’s she’s a friend of the Jewish community but I don’t buy it. Usually people who don’t love themselves are incapable of loving others. There.

Lol....Stop!!

Why is the writer surprised that there are folks out there who believe in Lanez’s innocence? So what’s new? I don’t care about Lanez and I don’t care about Megan Thee Stallion - they both contribute to the downward spiral of todays Black culture: Lanez is all bound up with the violent lyrics in Hip Hop and too much of…

Nice guy with a good heart but his movement & style of politics comes across as too kumbaya-ish, especially his rhetoric. I don’t think he’ll ever resonate with the Black masses, the grassroots. Rev. Barber just feels out of time - not in sync with today's mood & energy & militancy.

Dude isn’t “controversial”, he’s a lowdown scam artist, a poser and a fraud! The sad part is there are so many of his type in the pulpit of Black churches sucking out the blood, spirit and soul of the Black masses. And so many of them get away with it! Hopefully guys like Bishop Lamar Whitehead will help hasten the…

I knew it was fake, a stunt, and bullshit, the moment I heard of it. Trevor Noah was simply arrogantly humoring Black women; and I also knew iimmediately that authentic & grounded Black women would see thru that bit of fakery! If we truly appreciate & love Black women, then return the same loyalty & allegiance they’ve…
