The Root's Clapback Mailbag: Caucasian Race Theory

Like most people, I have a special alert for when I receive emails from important people. And, of course, The Root’s Editor-in-Chief Danielle Belton is on the email VIP list. Sometimes, it’s something important like when Crown Royal announces a new flavor or a video of a white woman calling the police on a Black…

Nestor Is Not Going to Like This, But We’ve Got to Talk About Matt Gaetz and That Weird Tucker Carlson Interview

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), the adoptive father of Nestor—a man-boy he has not adopted—was in big trouble Tuesday evening after an explosive New York Times exposé that revealed he was under federal investigation for an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. And get this: it was Trump’s Justice Department, headed by evil Fred Flintstone…

A Black Girl's Event on Being a Better White Person Has Triggered the Worst White People

Great news! There’s a vaccine for racism! According to some people, eradicating the scourge of discrimination, white supremacy and oppression is easy. The Caucasian cure for systemic inequality involves the simple task of ignoring the issue, pretending it doesn’t exist and shutting the fuck up until the problem magically dissipates into thin air. While naysayers…

Tucker Carlson, former President Trump’s favorite Bass boat shoe, is in love with former President Barack Obama. That can be the only explanation for his obvious obsession with a president who hasn’t been in office in years and who spends his time living his best life with his beautiful wife, Michelle.

Conservatives' Wet-Ass-Preoccupation With 'WAP' Leads to an Epic Back-and-Forth Between Cardi B and Candace Owens

The sanctimonious obsession with a popular song about moistened muffs continues! Thanks to this past weekend’s Grammys telecast, conservatives can continue to not care about the domestic terrorism displayed at a whole national monument and divert that energy to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP!” What a life!

GOP Senator Says He 'Never Felt Threatened' by Capitol Rioters; Admits He'd Feel Differently if it Were Black Lives Matter

Wisconsin U.S. Senator Ron Johnson—but not that Ron Johnson—is apparently one of the few GOPhers who is willing to just come right out and say that he’s racist AF. Of course, it’s possible that’s not what he thought he was doing when he admitted that, while the participants in the World War Wypipo attack on…

White People Don't Make No Sense

This headline is grammatically correct. In African American Vernacular English, “no” is a determiner equivalent to the thermodynamic concept of absolute zero. It is the amount of “mess” that James Brown’s papa was willing to take. It describes how much of a joke Rakim considered himself to be. In 1994, researcher Rock Master Scott, in…

Tucker Carlson Says QAnon-ified Capitol Rioters Aren't Terrorists, They're 'Gentle People Waving American Flags'

The above photo is a live shot of Fox News host Tucker Carlson taking a dump. No, seriously, because that’s exactly what’s going on whenever he opens up the septic tank that is his mouth about literally anything.

Q Is Smart, Q Is Kind, Q Is Important: A Response to Tucker Carlson's Allegation That QAnon Doesn't Exist

Dear Mr. Carlson, Between my morning briefing on the status of the Democratic Party’s sex trafficking and my afternoon insurrection workout (mostly just police-beating exercises with a flagpole), I was informed by one of my most loyal parishioners (who may or may not represent Georgia’s 14th Congressional District) that you have been spreading lies and…

Tucker Carlson Asked a Trump Campaign Lawyer for Proof and That’s When She Shut Him Down

It isn’t like hot windbag and white hotep—he even wears bowties—Tucker Carlson to want proof before spouting out wild conspiracy theories in support of his president for life, Donald Trump. So maybe that’s what scared Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell from appearing on Carlson’s show, Bedroom Time with Baby, on Republican OnlyFans, Fox News. Carlson…
