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. 

So he could spend more time in jail than Paul Manafort? Some bullshit.

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?

And conversely, to screw over the poor and the desperate — who, not-so-coincidentally, have historically tended to be nonwhite. And it just so happens,…

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?!?!?!?

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”.

In the original versions, every episode ended with a (Bi…
