News Editor for The Root. I said what I said. Period.

Here’s the thing, though, it actually is “all white people.” Even the “good ones.” And I say this as a white woman who I hope is one of the “good ones.”

Yep the asshole judge has cover for outrage over the bullshit sentence.

True, they churn out more articles but I wish the writers would take some time & engage with the commentators like the writers do here at the root.

Customers NEVER get fully reimbursed for these types of scams.

Right, because scaring a white person is a far more serious crime than embezzling billions of dollars.

Unfortunately when he mimicked having gun during the robbery it triggered the three strikes rule. It gave the protection the judge needed to hand out a harsh sentence for the man.

Which is why I used Snopes. Most urban legends are ultimately proven to be total BS on Snopes. Which is why I was shocked after doing a short Google search, it appears to be true.

Because I’m petty, it’s Friday, and I’m tired of deal with dumb white people, I just have to point out that elsewhere in the Kinjaverse, a bunch of people are mad because she didn’t say “some”, “few,” or “many” when talking about white people. Therefore, she is racist also and is dismissing the very important work
