Next time someone claims it wasn’t about slavery:

This list of places to never visit is incredibly helpful, A++++++++ work.
I will never forget that shit, Zap. I remember it like it was yesterday, it was so ridiculous.
This reminds me of the whole debacle over Kara’s usage of “woke”. There were a lot of “no actually, it’s AWAKE” comments. 😂
You’re also ignoring the source of the drug epidemic in many cases, which is getting prescribed legal opiates and getting addicted. But why can’t everyone be like you? Asshole.
I work with kids that were born with hard drugs in their body. A lot of people are basically born addicted or surrounded by drugs. Also a lot of people do drugs to self medicate. I had students do drugs because they didn’t have access to legal medicine or wanted to regulate without using pharmacy pills. There are a…
you’ll be fine
Keep in mind that medical use is what starts most opiate addiction, too.
Whatever your thoughts about the gross dynamic that sees colleges make billions off of (mostly black) athletes when…
Anyone not new to Kendrick Lamar knows that his seminal debut, Good Kid mA.A.d City, was so incredible because it…
It’s like asking why people can’t just lose weight. Some people can’t. In the abstract almost every drug addict would pick being happily drug-free just like any fat person would chose to be happily fit. But you don’t just flip a switch, the overeating or drug addiction are coping mechanism for other problems and…

Just don’t do illegal things.*
You make and/or imply a lot of claims in your message. My responses follow.
1) Yes. People are responsible for their actions.
2) The OP made no “ultra-rational speaker” claim.
3) I agree. Many stupid opinions are unpopular.
4) Stupid may have similar connotations to idiocy, but nothing attributing naivety.
None of the…
You mean other posts on The Root? Nah. That’s black people problems. Unless they write about Bernie; then they gotta come in here and tell minorities to stop bitching about their hard fought issues and give deference to this old white man who wants to focus on other white people who have their feelings hurt and vote…
Stop demonizing our allies!
No. Everything ain’t for everybody and that’s OK.
You say “stop demonizing our allies” as if Sanders is playing some benign role, rather than poisoning an entire generation of white liberals against the only party that actually represents their ideals and has the ability to act on them.
Nobody has been demonized more than Clinton and the DNC, and that’s 100% the…
