I was thinking he looked like J. Jonah Jameson in blackface. 

To cross-pollinate from a happier Root article: “Most people go into business not because they’re good businessmen but because they’re good at whatever their trade is. I was good at fixing cars,” he told Cleveland.com. “I just felt like if I really wanted to grow this and grow it right, I really needed a foundational…

After all that he’s said about black people do you think there’s a single barbershop where Whitlock can show his face? That man goes to a Haircuttery. 

I’m actually not a supporter of single-payer. There’s a much, much, MUCH longer discussion about that. But yeah, the system we have in place has made it almost impossible to make the kind of money that would justify the debt incurred to become a doctor. 

The Blacks in question are the family of Don Black, the founder of Stormfront. 

What makes Dr. Allamby even more impressive is that he had a lucrative business and chose to go back to school, go into considerable debt, and make as much as a waiter so that he could help people and be a good example. That’s inspiring.

I’m Jewish and live in LA. The only people I’m scared of are white dudes in polo shirts shooting up my house of worship. 

1) Ben Carson is a genius... at pediatric neurosurgery. Which means that, much like a professional athlete or entertainer, Dr. Carson spent decades focusing on becoming the best at pediatric neurosurgery at the expense of... well, everything else.
2) Trump’s naming Ben Carson the head of Housing and Urban Development…

I am willing to bet literally every kid on that AAU team is constantly thinking “NOTICE ME, SENPAI!”

Instead, I just...I don’t know, man. I just think he needs some black people to love him. When I see him now, I see a man who needs a hug.

I want to feel something for the Jaguars... but considering their owner now funds a pretty progressive, exciting wrestling company, I just have mild appreciation. Couple that with hope that Nick Foles does well (short of beating the Eagles in the Super Bowl) and I can’t really muster up hate for the Jags.

This continues the long, glorious tradition of conservatives creating fictional characters based on Presidents. Who can forget Ronald Reagan: definitely not racist patriot who single-handedly defeated Communism? Or Barack Obama: Kenyan Muslim Atheist Socialist Communist Racist Super Villain? Oh, sure, these characters…

What does opposing antifascism make you?

The Eagles have an honest-to-goodness plan and a forward-thinking GM. The Giants have Pat Shurmur and Daniel Jones.

That’s the line. The GOP will literally not call someone racist unless they, in the present and on some form of the record, uses a racial slur. Until then Trump can say whatever he wants.

I dunno, the Root doesn’t seem to be on the Bernie Bus like everyone else. 

Pressley is low-key my favorite member of the Squad. I stan her and AOC. 

• How old is Blanca, do we think, that she would have seen Perfect Strangers growing up?

I’m aware. The only member of the Trump cabinet who shouldn’t be launched into the damn sun is Verma at this point. 

The bill she introduced to decriminalize marijuana this week is great but it’s a major flip-flop from Harris the prosecutor.
