    Tennessee Gov. Declares Day Honoring Slave Trader and Early Leader of the KKK

    Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee tipped his hand, and it’s racist AF. For some reason that only Southern states will understand, Lee signed a proclamation declaring July 13 Nathan Bedford Forrest Day. Who in the fuck was Forrest? Well, just a Confederate general, slave trader and an early leader of the Ku Klux Klan, which might…

  • Alan Dershowitz: Sure I Got a Massage at Jeffrey Epstein’s Mansion, but I Kept My Underwear On

    Welp, welcome to the slippery sleazy slope that comes with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s recent arrest for child sex trafficking.

  • Paul Ryan Continues His Ascent From Slug to Spineless Jellyfish in New Book on Trump

    There is a saying in the streets for when someone talks trash about a person they were scared to fight after that adversary isn’t around to harm them. It’s called “pump-faking.” Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) is 1993 New York Knicks’ Charles Smith in the closing seconds. According to Tim Alberta’s new book, American…

  • A Darkened Image of Colin Kaepernick Appeared on a Republican Campaign Fundraiser, but They Swear They Didn't Do It

    A fundraising email sent by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) appears to show a darkened image of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but the NRCC swears they didn’t darken the image. Maybe the image is like a protest photo of Dorian Gray. Maybe the NRCC has gotten hold of a photo of Kaepernick, the…

  • White Man Whose Son Begged Him Not to Call the Cops on Black Guy Whitesplains Why He Did It

    None of us know Christopher Cukor well enough to make cuckold jokes, but trust me, I know we all want to. Cukor was thrust into the African-American zeitgeist the way that most white people throughout history have thrust themselves into African-American history: by minding other people’s business. Here’s how The Root Senior Writer Michael Harriot…

    The President’s Personal Fourth of July Party Has Bankrupted D.C.’s Security Fund

    Remember just a few weeks ago when the president planned a “my dicktatorship is bigger than yours” July Fourth event in which he wanted tanks and jets and sparklers and shit?

    This is America. So the co-founder of Home Depot, Bernie Marcus, has every right to pledge his support and money to President Donald Trump. And people who find the president to be a vile mass of pig vomit have the right to protest Marcus’ store. Where things get weird is when the president of women…

  • Floyd Mayweather Jr. Suffers Embarrassing TKO Defeat

    It was supposed to be a fun game of basketball for charity and then things got serious. Real serious. Shortly after the game began—for some reason, maybe it was machismo, maybe it was because he plays pickup games when he’s not training for a fight—Floyd Mayweather Jr. decided he was going to seriously guard street-ball…
