    Whew. That was a tough read, but I thank you for sharing. PTSD is real. 

    Tory Lanez is an abusive dickhead who needs to be prosecuted. I hope Megan gets the help she needs (not snitching or being cooperative is a sign of something else). 

    We watched this and only became sad that there wasn’t a sequel (yet). The whole film was exactly the type of action we wanted to see and we are so proud of Kiki, who is proving that she will become one of the greatest Black actors of her time.

    Predator behaviors. Plain and simple. 

    My first thought when I read that fool’s comment was, “So because you don’t treasure brown, thick, unapologetically Black women, we are supposed to fall in in line?” My second thought was something similar: Here’s yet another Black man who does not love or respect Black women in all their shapes, ages, and colors. 

    Fuck that school. I would take my child out of that school asap. Actually, in this climate, I would only enroll my kid in a Black school with Black people at the helm who empower Black children. 

    LOL! Stanley did not ONE ounce of work in “The Office”! He was one of my favorite characters. I’d totally watch Mr. Baker take “Stanley” on the road to California!

    Sephora needs to hire Black people in all areas of their organization. 6% is still way too low in regards to diversity. 

    Terry Crews just needs to shut the fuck up. Like for real. He is an ill-informed fool with too much money and free time on his hands to debate on anything dealing with systemic racism and why Black Lives must ALWAYS matter. 

    I watched that shit and was PRAYING that he got his ass whupped on camera but alas, that did not happen. I am so tired of these racists using these tactics to justify their racist ways.

    Listening right now! I wouldn’t have known this network existed had I not been following The Root consistently.

    This hurt my heart for real. Being punished for being you is the AmeriKKKan way. 

    Agreed. Questlove adores Black music but I don’t think he feels that same adoration for Black women. 

    Whoooosuh! This man has schooled the entire fuck out of those folks. “We built this joint for free, and we’re done begging you to do what’s right”.  

    Thank you for pointing out that J.Cole is low-key trying to silence Noname. He really just won’t admit that his approach was wrong. 

    I used this video in my classroom (I teach social studies). It is truly one of my favorites. 

    LMAO! I’m straight up cackling. That car was on some turbo shit as it zoomed past. Hubby and I were wondering if the camera person was Black due to that quick catch of the label on film. 

    LMAO! I forgot about “I Know Black People”! 

    Beautiful way to make their wedding day truly unique! I felt nothing but joy looking at her IG. 

    LMAO! I was at that show too. She was late as hell, due to being at now defunct Evergreen Plaza, looking for a concert outfit. She talked about how white folks were out to get us and we need to stick together. I was with my white friend. We couldn’t do shit but laugh! Lord!
