There is a 100 percent chance that Donald Trump has, at some point in his life, said ânigger.â Those odds stay at 100 when assessing the chance that he currently thinks of black people as niggers, and then they slightly dip (87 percent? 92?) when wondering whether he 1) currently says it and 2) has been recordedâŠ
Like most people who use Instagram, I peruse the platform to seek out black beautyâmen and woman. I live in Brazil, a country that is more than 50 percent black. But you wouldnât know that by the faces you see on television, in magazines and even on mainstream websites.

This week, racism reared its ugly head the same way itâs been doing since Donald Trump became president. In New York City, the greatest melting pot on earth, we still have to deal with bigotry, but the city that never sleeps has a special way of banding together to combat racism that is sure to warm your spirit.

When I asked a few of our readers to come in to The Rootâs offices and share their personal experiences of being called the n-word for the first time, I knew Iâd get a lot of stories steeped in ignorance.
