That’s a misreading of the report— there are unsolved murders of White and other non-Black victims, so 100% of all uncleared murders can’t be Black. The report actually says, ‘100 percent of the nation’s historic decline in homicide clearance was borne by black victims since clearance rates for white, Asian American…

She’s a fucking liberal. Every single thing she said used to be understood as liberal. She judges people based on character. Is that a conservative or liberal idea?

I would point out the the substitution of x for gendered letters in Spanish terms is often seen as offensive by people who speak Spanish as a first language (due to the difficulty of pronunciation and the fact that it is mostly championed by native English speakers).

Yes, he should. Especially considering he was speaking to a halocaust survivor. The idiot sitting next to him clapping is a real estate lobbyist that Adams hired. I wonder why he would be in favor of rent increases?

Sickening article. That is Jeanie Dubnau, the Co-Founder of the Riverside Edgecombe Neighborhood Association (RENA), a tenants & housing rights advocacy organization in Upper Manhattan. She has +40 years advocating for low income NYers of all races and done more for black people than Adams ever will. She is also a…

Except ticks loooove “natural” gardens.

I saw some of the video of the rest of the graduation ceremony. Each person had the mic held in front of their face and they said their name. No one was cut off, no one was told to rush. The mic was held in front of them for a few seconds after they had finished saying their name, as though to make sure they were…

Think she reads Da Root?

Iman responded to those who criticized her actions at the event on Instagram. “To everyone saying I should be embarrassed or I’ll never get a job … I’m a black woman in America. I am always in the right...

So she’s a black Karen.

“I’m a black woman in America. I am always in the right”

If a cop did the EXACT same thing you’d call it murder.

Literally nothing about her Instagram statement makes sense. She doesn’t think it’s embarrassing to act this entitled and show her ass in public? That it won’t affect her employment prospects? That she’s always right because of her skin color? That this is somehow good for other black girls??

“In some cases, incarcerated people are forced to work dangerous jobs. For example, in California, they’ve been sent to the front lines to fight wildfires, but made significantly less than minimum wage.”

The thing that makes me saddest about this whole story is how Jordan Neely will never reach his full potentional. If Jordan Neely would have been allowed to live his full life just think of all the lives he would have impacted as an insane, violent, homeless person. I bet he could have killed someone!!!!! Tragic that J…

A) Once again, we’re only hearing about this case because Penny is white and Neely was black. That’s the only interracial crime the media and especially The Root cares about. Of course we all know that blacks attack/murder whites in massive numbers that dwarf white on black crime.

Why should they get a nickel? If someone tells you to leave their public place and you don’t, you are trespassing. Therefore you can be arrested. But heck laws are for white people, blacks get to flaunt them.

So where were his family when Jordan was running around the streets of New York assaulting and harassing people? Were they concerned about his welfare back then?

“The family questioned why Penny, who choked Neely to death on a New York subway car last week, wasn’t charged with a homicide.”

Neely’s family needs better representation. Penny wasn’t charged with murder because he would most likely be acquitted.
