Wednesday night, America watched as Sen. Elizabeth Warren pulled zero punches as she pummeled the hell out of former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg on stage during the last 2020 democratic debate. Warren went all 2pac “Hit Em’ Up” style on Bloomberg attacking him on everything from his notorious “stop and frisk” policy to his treatment…

Black Man Sues After Hospital Co-worker Calls Him 'Boy' and Another Admits Fear of 'Big Black Men'
For black people working in predominantly white professional environments, it can often feel like having two jobs while only being compensated for one form of labor.

A Racist Judge, An Alleged Affair and N-Word Laced Text Messages Put 8 Years of Cases Under Review
Ideally, you really don’t want racists working in any position where they have to interact with the general public regularly. You don’t want them in education because black children just aren’t safe around racist teachers. It’s no good having them in finance or making decisions on who can and can’t buy a home because black…

The Root's Clapback Mailbag: The Last Refuge of the Scoundrel
A wise man (I think it was Rakim…or maybe my cousin Geet) once said: “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Whoever said this was obviously not a regular reader of the Friday mailbag. If they were, they’d know that scoundrels have a variety of refuges, including: “Yo’ Mama”: The last refuge of child…

Federal Judge Rules Conditions in Migrant Holding Cells to be Unconstitutional
There is a certain subset of the population that believes a person’s humanity should be disregarded if they aren’t American or came here illegally.
