Correct me if I’m wrong, but also isn’t eating on the subway mostly verboten? And the privilege of straight up wasting a box of cereal and a gallon of milk is infuriating. 

Here for it!! Can’t wait!

And then they rushed up in these comments streets to prove the point of this accurate article. Them - the ones that hate Black people so much they can’t wait to read The Root articles every dayum day and practice typing their illiterate mediocrity for all to see. Them - the ones that cannot stand the sight of a Black p

I 💖 you. That is all. 

Those cops walked away so they were obviously guilty.

I wasn’t aware hexadecimal made its way into common vernacular.  6F had me confused for a bit until I saw it meant FFFFFF:  hex for white.  Well played Blerds.

Man, I would have been more OK if he had donated money to rape crisis centers of something like that, but no.

You can tell Megyn didn’t see the film. The movie pretty much lambasted Downey’s character as an actor that got so into his role that he thought that doing that was a good idea. I mean in the last act of the film Downey’s character realizes how fucking dumb he is and wrong he was to demean others with stereotypical

Megyn, the joke in Tropic Thunder was directed at stupid White assholes wearing Blackface, not at Black people. There’s this thing called context, which happens to be very important. You and Justin Trudeau can take a long walk off a short pier with your White nonsense.

You can order without pickles. It even has the option to select without pickles prominently displayed on the mobile order version. The pickles are great though as is the sandwich. Not "destroy my personal property" or "get murdered" great, but maybe "wait 15 minutes while I play on my phone" great.

Yep.
I worked at a department store when Furby came out and...
