Tech Companies Are Driving White Supremacists Back to the Dark Ages Where They Belong
These Nazis are gonna learn that they’re being shut off from decent society, and they will have a very hard time finding people who support their dumb rhetoric online. They also won’t be able to fund their harmful causes or listen to their shitty music. Apple, LinkedIn, Spotify, Twitter and more are all joining a…

Anthony ‘Mucci Mane’ Scaramucci Compared His Phone Call With Reporter to Monica Lewinsky Scandal, and She Responded
I’m not going to lie—I miss Anthony “Mucci Mane” Scaramucci. Sure, he was only in the White House as communications director long enough to microwave a Hot Pocket, but man, what a fantastic run he had. But at least Mucci Mane hasn’t gone into hiding; in fact, he won’t stop talking—or tweeting, as the case…

Trump Retweets Unnamed-Source Report on North Korea Condemned by UN Ambassador Because He Doesn’t Know What the Hell He’s Doing
Because Donald Trump has no clue what the hell he’s doing in office, and because no one in his staff can keep his dumb ass off Twitter, he tweeted out an anonymously sourced story (because, you know, Fox News), and within hours, United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley condemned the same story on Fox News. Trump…

Trump’s Bashing on Twitter Again, but Here’s What He Should Be Tweeting About
President Donald Trump might be the worst person in the world, but that doesn’t mean he has to act like it. At some point, it would be nice if the president of the United States actually acted presidential, and if that means he must use Twitter, then maybe he could spend 20 seconds (assuming no…

Tyler, the Creator Calls ScHoolboy Q Everything but a Child of God All Over Twitter
Something is happening right now on Twitter between rappers Tyler, the Creator and ScHoolboy Q that has caused Tyler to call ScHoolboy Q out his name. It all started earlier this summer when ScHoolboy Q posted a video of the crowd at one of his shows with all these cellphones glowing, and Tyler commented that…

Scaramucci Mane: Reince Priebus Sleeps With the Fishes (OK, He Didn’t Die, but He’s Out of the White House)
Well, who didn’t see this coming? Seriously, when the newly hired White House communications director makes a drunken call (who’s knows if Anthony Scaramucci Mane had been drinking, but if he hadn’t been, it’s worse) to a New Yorker reporter in which he hates on the president’s chief of staff, then you know heads are…

Diddy Showed Black Women Some Twitter Love and White Women Started Whitewomaning
Occasionally, we here at The Root take time out from debating the substantive issues of the day, like whether Power is better than Game of Thrones (which is like asking if Tyler Perry’s stage play Madea Goes to the Cookout is better than Romeo and Juliet), to post something educational. Today we present a short…

Donald Trump Is Just A White Man Allowed And Encouraged To Be As White As He Wants To Be
Even when considering the torrential stream of bullshit that drips and sprays and drips and sprays and drips and sprays from Donald Trump’s mouth, his tweets today calling for a ban of transgender people from the military were remarkable. Because there’s no fucking way he believes that even the dumbest of his supporters believe a word of his…

Judge of Characters: Oh God, Wait … Am I a Hotep?
This week, besides having to scroll through all things Rumi and Sir Carter, I learned that Madame Tussauds doesn’t care about black people, particularly Beyoncé, Prince, Denzel Washington and any other black wax figure they’ve made. Dr. Umar Johnson may just be a doctor after all. It took some digging from The Root’s Michael Harriot,…
