I agree this is suspicious and the police response is likely very different for a black child and a white child. Obviously, it ought to be the same for all. There are a lot of suspicious facts here, from the father’s behavior to the police behavior to the random white lady car that smelled of mushrooms and bleach. I…

Wait so is BLM the 501 group or the movement? Now The Root (and local BLM chapter, it seems) wants to have it both ways. Either it’s an organization or a loose ideology, but you can’t simultaneously claim both.

I don’t care what political party he belongs to, heroin addiction is a horrible thing and I hope he can find a way to kick it.

Dear DNC,

All dead rapists should be so honored...well, at least the ones who can throw a basketball around.

Hey Joe One question:  If you are so committed to this immigration thing, how many immigrants can come and live with you at your house?

On the one hand it is the parents job to love their children and raise them. On the other, it is the medical communities responsibility to find a cure*.

But calling her a bitch and threatening her with violence is ok???

Absolutely, 100% agree!! Quick, fast and in a hurry. He has no right to threaten anyone for something they say or to incite idiots who may decide to act on his words.

Bringing up the fact that this happened, that it was non-consentual (and Kobe acknowledged that though no one else seems to want to admit it)...I mean what on earth justifies the viciousness, the death threats, the *hatred and abuse*, expletive filled rants and threats of violence?
