They changed it on Android as well, it's been this way since I updated the app yesterday. 

I’m gay and I don’t need a lecture on what the default is from you. 

And what do we have today? Old White Guy rimming the black community as usual, Rooo sez BISH PLZ playing out their journalist fantasy and raging between their shifts as a Subway sandwich artist or whatever sad, empty job they have, and everyone thinking that calling him “Mayo Pete” is somehow cutting or clever. How…

That’s what I am talking about. There is not one single moment in the episode before CM shows up at HJ’s home where there is even a hint that HJ is anything but straight. And yeah, the show has had a couple scenes of the fictionalized HJ having sex with CM, but this was an origin story. Some context would have been…

I had two big problems with this episode - first, it made it seem as if Hooded Justice suddenly turned bisexual (or gay) after meeting Captain Metropolis one time for 2 minutes. There wasn’t even a hint of queerness in the character before that. They couldn’t have taken 5 seconds to show him checking some guy’s ass…

I hope they either put this little bastard in jail for the rest of his life or fry him. That said, I think it’s interesting how black law enforcement officers suddenly get their racial identity back here on The Root when they get killed, but the rest of the time they’re blue - part of the problem.

What a load of bullshit. Castro’s failings are his own; he failed to craft and deliver an appealing message, and that’s why he has as little support as he does. I applaud him for being more outspoken on certain issues than other candidates, but I am disappointed in the amount of negativity he’s spreading about more…

“America” didn’t try to convince you Richard Spencer was dapper. Journalists did. Journalists who, in their desperation for viewers, listeners and clicks will spin, twist, stretch and bend the truth until it suits their purpose. Until it makes for a “good” story.

Ya know, anyone who doesn’t get it by now that smoking is terrible for you deserves what they get.

Make up your mind, Jason. Does homophobia exist but doesn’t matter because it isn’t unique to black people, or is homophobia a racist lie made up to hurt black people’s feelings?

In the future, could you wait until after lunch to post headlines about R.Kelly’s nasty/missing/infected toenails?

I get why people like Ilhan Omar, but I find her judgement (& Rashida Tlaib’s, at times) to be quite poor.

Next time, just quote Omar’s statement. These aren’t your words, they’re hers.

It must be sad when your whole life is about “look at me! look at me!”

If you actually listened to everything Obama said, you probably wouldn’t be so pissed off, because what he actually said was that calling people out over insignificant things and doing nothing else didn’t count as activism. And he’s right.

Barack Obama: Getting it right as usual.

I have no idea why Kamala Harris isn’t doing better than she is. But Booker? His wide-eyed, “gee whiz guys let’s be nice” act isn’t playing with anyone. And Castro has zero charisma.

I honestly believe that Mitch McConnell is an intentionally, purposefully evil person. Utterly rotten.

Seems?

I knew when I was watching him on MSNBC yesterday he would end up in a Michael Harriot article here on The Root. Yet, even knowing that, I still wanted to throw up the moment I saw his smug bobbleheaded face.
