My perception was that she was saying they remain on the margins in terms of representation and public praise.

A lot to think about in this article. I think it makes a lot of assumptions about the women featured in the video. Not all of them are famous and some of them are (or were) working class.

Fuck off, stupid!

This is off topic but I am writing to congratulate you and the entire staff of The Root for your successful unionization.

This is ridiculous overcharging, for a victim-less crime.

16 felonies? Really? I'm no fan of the guy after the shit he pulled but that se mantiene a bit much. I'll admit I don't know much about law so maybe someone with more knowledge can explain, but is there any logical reasoning for this? Aside from them just wanting to stick it to him?

Some fucking Becky calls the cops about and unlicensed lemonade stand or a black guy picking up trash in front of his home; nothing happens. Cops lie in reports, destroy video evidence, and commit perjury to protect each other; nothing happens. Now he’s looking at 64 years.

The phrase “Black Lives Matter” is not a protest. It is a prayer

Fuck this piece of shit judge, hope he dies of a heart attack soon.

Seriously, DAFUQ us wrong with people?!?!?!?

The issue with Green Book is that it’s the latest in a long line of films marketed as telling a nuanced story about the larger role that institutional racism has played in our society, when in reality it’s a milquetoast feel good story that doesn’t really have all that much to say other than “if only we could all be…

This is why Black women are tired. Thank you to this tireless Black woman and her two children to witness and try to correct the wrongs with a right. *Queues “This Woman’s Work”. 

I..... I don’t know. I’m just.... I’m not sure I want that freedom.
