I stopped watching like seconds after DSmoke had the line “she wanna get faded like a Native” in his song with Miguel. He’s positioned as the “conscious rapper” of the show, and then Chance the Rapper, also woke, didn’t say anything about that line. I was so angry that I started to cry. I am Indigenous, and it became…

The most disturbing take away from this article is that Jr was heckled by people who don’t think the Trumps are bad enough. WTF

I’m not trying to change your mind and I’m not gonna get in a back and forth about her record. She’s been vetted harder than anyone else at this point in the primary. Here’s a link with some more info if you’re interested. If you’re not, fine by me.

So an endorsement by a collection of about 90000 some black women for another black woman should have zero weight? Right. (Both are worthwhile endorsements.)

I’m sorry but this started when Harry and William were young, partly at the tuition of their mother, Diana, partly of their own wish not to live like their parents, let alone their grandparents.

This is the real affirmative action. White dudes hiring white dudes because they’re white.

I don’t think Harry and Meghan are claiming to do anything but their perception by the media has been pushing that narrative. Harry married outside of his race and outside of British wealth, which of course was always going to be labeled as the most modern thing a royal could do (which truly is huge for them.) But…

All of these people are simply finding their own ways to leverage the monarchy to achieve their own goals, whatever they may be. Which is probably what any of us would do if we had intentionally put ourselves in a similar position, as they have, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are basically doing business.

The British press will never get over the facts that 1) Meghan is black and 2) She didn’t (and doesn’t) need the Royals to make her famous. Anyone marrying into the royal family is supposed to be so incredibly thankful for the chance to be associated with them that they give their entire future to The Country. They’re…

“Don’t use the Armenian genocide as a cudgel in a political fight,” says politician using the Armenian genocide as a cudgel in a political fight.

So she has no problem (rightly) calling Israel out on their genocidal BS against the Palestinians, but acknowledging a genocide that happened over 100 years ago is a bridge too far? I expected far better from her. I know no one is perfect, especially politicians, but *insert Tyra Banks “we were rooting for you!” gif*.

Somewhere, in the parts of America that white rich men didn’t want, a native American reads this news and sighs.

Not one person has argued that America has moral high ground on the issue (they obviously do not). Likewise no one is arguing that those other examples of crimes against humanity shouldn’t be acknowledged in the same way. The fact of the matter is that Omar abstained from the opportunity to acknowledge a historical…

By the way, what are the Root’s writer’s thoughts on what’s going on at Deadspin and is there any threat of similar crap happening here?

I like Omar but her justification is weak. You can’t recognize one genocide unless you recognize them all at once?

Stockholm syndrome. The look at Uncle Joe and see Barack’s third term. Can someone tell me why in the fuck Warren is an option? Look I know white women want a do over from 2016 but picking someone less qualified and that will get stomped by Trump makes no sense. On second thought yeah it does. They always think they…

Uh no they aren’t. Castro & Harris have made it clear they are not. In case you didn’t notice the minute they both went for Uncle Joe’s throat media coverage of them stopped. When Harris called out Twitter Liztopher Columbus was dismissive of her and downright condescending. White liberals love black folks until they…

Wait, y’all are chastising Beto O’Rourke for rightfully condemning Hillary Clinton’s labeling Tulsi Gabbard a “Russian asset” and doing so without any evidence?

HRC was right tho 🤷🏾‍♀️

Uh Hillary never mentioned her by name but Tulsi sure felt like a hit dog so I guess she hollered. If you were one of the ones defending “The Russian Asset” and bashing Hillary you can sit your ass down and shut the hell up. That means Beto, Mayor Pete, Crazy Ass Yang, Uncle Joe and Bernie can all kick rocks. You look…
