Actually these same issues came up with Booker, but that’s not who the story was about 

It’s an interview with a series of political operatives, politicians and advocates in South Carolina. Not sure how that amounts to attacking Harris compared to Warren or Biden. There are legitimate criticisms of Harris, the question is, are those critiques based on real concerns about her policy OR just an excuse for…

Many of the people I interviewed thought Booker had the same problem. By comparison, though, Booker can walk through just about any neighborhood in Newark and get dap. They both suffer in the shadow of Obama, and to be fair, the romanticized version of Obama. Like people forget this guy wanted arugula on his hamburger…

There was plenty of discussion about Booker among the people I interviewed. Part of Harris challenge is that for the first time black voters actually have a choice of candidates, which is something she has to overcome 

Let’s dispense for a minute with the fact that you are second guessing what STAN LEE the guy who created the book has to say about the genesis of the X-Men with your own interpretation. I may think Mitochlorians are dumb but George Lucas created Star Wars and if he says mini bacteria create the force then that’s what…

It’s actually a real privilege to write something that people find meaningful enough to want to respond to. Sometimes they’re a bit rude, sometimes people project but most of the time it’s fun and a real learning experience for me too. 

LOl you’re right that actually IS better. Because this one will be on FXX or FX by August 

Darwin died before they even BECAME X-men. Like dude didn’t last past their first hangout at the CIA crib. Zoe Kravitz character flipped to the Brotherhood in like 5 minutes and was dead by the second film 

Will you stop twisting my comments into “you’re in a dark place” stance? Can you just do that?

Bottom line, you went for clickbait and too proud to admit you were wrong. Feminism and Gentrification are two different things.

I said Clinton jokes. People were clowning him for affairs and smoking weed in 1991 LONG before Lewinsky

Mary I have thousands of comic books. I’ve been reading them since I was a kid. I literally teach a course called Black Politics Comics and Superheroes. You clearly haven’t read the dozen or so comic book related stories I’ve written here because to suggest I hopped on with Iron Man is too ridiculous to even respond to

TheRoot doesn’t endorse any candidate 

I’m pretty sure that’s how it will play out. But if your most powerful constituency feels like they’ve been told to shut up and sit in a corner until the primaries, it’s not a good look 

This is anecdotally, empirically and historically untrue 

LOl, I wrote an opinion piece and you’re projecting hurt feelings on it because you can’t deal with the fact that I’m good. There is literally ONE reference to anyone critiquing me. Dassit. It really hasn’t been a problem. The piece is an exploration of different points of view, and where mine stands.

But you already gave me the click by posting so thanks for that Own Goal there.... 

Uh no. Please read and use context. Montgomery Bus Boycott is a specific time, place and ask.

You’re projecting. The whole point is I know some people protesting and some aren’t, I’m not taking any ‘heat’ from anybody other than one colleague. And I get why they said what they said, I just disagree. Maybe you need to put people into good guy v.s. aggrieved teams, but I’m good
