IF you have to “establish” it every single time and not depend on all the profiling we know full well the FBI does in every other case - then there’s a colorable argument that’s obstruction. I see you downthread. Don’t try to con anyone; your cornwash isn’t going to hold up with people who not only know how this goes,…

EVERY SINGLE ONE.

All. ALL.

There is. Put all elections in the hands of the feds—certain states have proven that they are not to be trusted—make it crystal clear that all shenanigans are crimes, and sentence those found guilty of them to thirty years in prison, no parole, with a mandated minimum of medium security.

What a coincidence! The US is pretending to have a President right now!

Well, of course he did. Macho men of color have as much trouble with homophobia in their own communities as they do with WOC who are straight-talkers even when they’re also straight women.

I refuse to allow ‘swarthy’ to be an insult.

Gonzalez Gonzalez Gonzalez. Dummy.

What? Many Muslims actually refuse to associate with dogs. This is almost akin to asking them to not eat all the bacon...I know overt racists aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer, but it’s amusing how so many of them wind up targeting the wrong people (i.e. targeting Indians and other Desis because they mistake…

Sort of giving ignorance a bad name here. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge and these poor excuses for humans made a conscious choice to be hateful wastes of skin. They made a decision to take a hateful path and then ran down that path like there were free Tiki torches waiting at the end and a few crosses looking to be…

“I think I made a real difference (to my résumé)!”

I’ll exchange ideas but this Sarah shit where they try to tell you what things are REALLY about? Fuck her.

Pretty sure every JezeRoot post has just been people talking about how shitty everyone from Jezebel treats everyone from The Root. So...that’s going smoothly.

OOOOOH! How many glamour selfies using impoverished children as props!?

Sarah is the biggest disappointment from the mailbag this week, without a doubt. We’ve come to expect the nonsensical racist rants from the vampires, but I get sick and tired of the “Sarah’s” of the world who always pull this type of shit when POC start voicing their opinions.

“(Sarah) was exemplifying the white privilege that seeks to change every conversation and divert it to a subject she wants to talk about.”

Which then has to be followed up (there is always a follow-up question, regardless of what Sarah Hucksterbee Slanders wants us to think) with the question “Did you, then, get what you came for ...?”

I just think the whole thing is weird considering that jezebel, especially jezebel readers, are so hostile to the root. That even the root writers openly talk about it in articles.

Noel Ignatiev- this fucking guy.
