Pro-COVID Parents Are Fighting School Mask Mandates With White Tears
I donāt like wearing masks. The only reason I wear them is that I have this thing about killing other people.

The Root's Clapback Mailbag: Stupidity Is a Pandemic
I think it was the Apostle Paul who said: āThere are no stupid questions, just stupid people.ā Or maybe it was Shakespeare. I canāt remember.

We Found the Textbooks of Senators Who Oppose The 1619 Project and Suddenly Everything Makes Sense
White people love critical race theories. While they generally oppose Critical Race Theory, the academic movement started by Black scholars, they have historically embraced the uncapitalized version of race theory. However, because so many see whiteness as a default, they donāt understand that their entire education has already been racialized. The fact that most people…

The Root's Clapback Mailbag: We Have Questions
While Iām generally known for my quiet, kind-hearted demeanor and as someone who accepts racism quietly and would never push back when someone else says or does something stupid or racist, beneath this placid, compassionate exterior lies a heart that constantly asks the same question over and over again.

Tyler Perry Is Right. We Shouldn't Hate the Police
I have a Black dog. The B is capitalized because, in this specific case, the word āBlackā does not designate the hue of my 165-pound, gangly sack of floppy ears, fur and dookie. Omar is a negro dog. He casually forgets that the kitchen is off-limits every time he smells fried chicken. Unlike Caucasian-raised canines,…
