We need to talk about white people reporting “suspicious activity” of black people out of pure malice as well. It’s a real phenomenon that needs to be addressed in tandem with police violence.

Anyone with an ounce of sense knows that Cheddar Jalapeno Cheetos are superior to Flamin’ Hot.

Your mother probably asked herself the same question every time she had to hold you as a baby.

He’s not wondering. He’s being dismissive. He came to a black site written for a black audience and said our experiences sound rare and are akin to urban legends. There’s no curiosity in his comment. This is genuine curiosity. See how this person is not saying that black women are probably telling fables perpetrated…

They still couldn’t manage to figure out cooking seasoning and spices, and thought Cheetos nailed it with their spicy version... so they just used the Cheeto dust as “seasoning.”

if i were to follow the root to its core anything white people do is stupid

Turkey is the trash of poultry.

Why do you think you are should pass that type of judgement? What the hell? Most of the people commenting that they are surprised by this are white. So duh, they’re not gonna know.

If they weren’t visible to you, then it’s because you chose to (1) not click to see responses pending approval (2) wrote a knee jerk reactionary comment based on your apparent dislike of The Root within 5 minutes of the article posting up. So yeah, that is on you.

Is a sheriff’s horse also a sheriff? The human sheriff said something stupid about the crowd we were in and I said, “That’s some bullshit,” to no one in particular. And then the horse immediately started moving around and made that ‘phhfff’ sound and I can’t be certain but I think he was agreeing with me. That’s as…

Show of hands for anyone, anywhere...ever... who’s had a “meaningful dialogue” with a sheriff?

Several commentators have said that they hate when this happens to them. Keep up.

So your response to seeing someone making a game (a game that is becoming popular because it is common experience with black women) and seeing the comments from people talking about their experiences or joking about it because it is so common is to dismiss these facts in front of you as “urban legends” because you…

LOL. Hey, here’s a wild idea: get off the internet and actually ask a black woman, “do people really touch your hair with or without asking first?” Then they will tell you, yes, this happens all the time.

Honey, maybe you shouldn’t have kids if you’re such a weak bitch that you can’t teach your kid “fuck” is a dirty word (BY YOUR STANDARDS) and they shouldn’t say it. My parents somehow figured out how to teach us character mattered and how to be good citizens without giving a damn what other people were doing.

It’s an everywhere thing. They don’t always ask. Nope, they act like you spit on them. Nope, born and raised Americans. They’re white. You haven’t been paying attention. From a small town and AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

Oh, I see how it is white girls. When you want to touch someone’s hair, you’re just “curious” and “envious of someone’s beautiful hair.”

Dang. Got to level 4 and it was just too many people.

I really don’t understand it. I think what the mother did was perfectly fine. She took another approach to discipline after realizing that the more traditional forms of discipline weren’t working with her son. I’ve seen parents shame their kids by making them hold signs that say what the kid has done, that I don’t…

As a straight dude, this shit offends me. There are some handsome as fuck men in this world, WAY more so than Blake Shelton.
