That’s a trick question, of course. Basically, the whites are at it again, back at it with another “Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps” story.

A Raleigh, N.C., parent is not too pleased after her second-grade son came home from Hunter Magnet Elementary with a sheet explaining white privilege.

Congratulations!

The infamous “affluenza teen,” who killed four people in Texas while driving drunk in 2013 when he was 16, is scheduled to be released from jail Monday, a few days before his 21st birthday, after serving nearly two years in prison.

Anna Holmes, the founder of Jezebel and editorial director at Topic.com, recently wrote an op-ed for the New York Times titled, “Black With (Some) White Privilege.” Full disclosure: I’m part of a currently running, very interesting and insightful documentary series she executive-produced called The Loving Generation, …

On Wednesday night, as the world learned about allegations of domestic violence against presidential aide Rob Porter, pundits and politicians from across the political spectrum focused on White House chief of staff John Kelly’s defense of Porter and Kelly’s recent comments about the laziness of immigrants.

After the death of Erica Garner, the 27-year-old daughter of police-brutality victim Eric Garner, many people who were aware of her activism were left with a sense of loss. Others, including some of the writers at The Root who knew and respected Erica, were stunned at the sudden death of someone so young and so…

I’ve spent much of Thursday afternoon combing through the manuscript of Milo Yiannopoulos’ Dangerous—which Simon & Schuster submitted (with editor’s notes intact) as a rebuttal to Yiannopoulos’ lawsuit against the publishing house for canceling his book deal and shuttering the book.

On a recent trip to buy some gifts for my own and other children for Christmas, I decided to venture to the beads-and-bracelets-and-shit aisle of a Toys R Us near my home. This is my go-to aisle when I need a random gift for my daughter or her classmates when we’re on the way to a birthday party. My daughter in…

May God grant me the serenity to accept the news cycle I cannot change, the courage to call out the evil asshats I can, and the wisdom to know when to use a semicolon and when to just end the sentence (copy editors: I’m still working it).

A Plainfield, Ind., policewoman was placed on administrative leave after she committed an act of blatant terrorism, injuring hundreds of white police officers by calling them out for their “white male privilege.”

Imagine having a great career as a pilot with United Airlines and being able to find the time between layovers to moonlight as a brothel owner in Houston. And not just one brothel, but a string of brothels. Well, that was the life of former United Airlines pilot Bruce Wayne Wallis until his 2015 arrest. But lucky for…

Today’s Clapback Mailbag is dedicated to last week’s mailbag. I know this sounds like some Inception-level shit where we make references to a mailbag inside a mailbag about the mailbag, so I will include some new stuff, too.

At least 26 people were killed and another 20 wounded in a brutal terror attack when a white, Christian American from gun-loving rural Texas opened fire in a Lone Star State house of worship Sunday. The shooter, Devin Patrick Kelley, had a long history of violence and white-on-white crime before committing this act…

When conservatives get their high-waisted, lace-trimmed, ribbon-adorned, flowery white panties in a bunch about athletes protesting the racially motivated, unequal dispensation of justice, equality and bullets in America, their main argument always devolves into a diatribe about certain black people’s lack of respect…

In 2015 a white Alabama schoolteacher was forced to write a public apology after pictures of him dressed up in blackface for Halloween went viral.

Mediocre white men rule the world. The greatest example of this is the fact that Donald Trump is the president of the United States. Having said that, I feel as if using him as the example is an insult to mediocre white men everywhere. Alas, it’s a truth and a reality we have to face, right along with the reality of…

My favorite scene in the surprisingly rewatchable Lethal Weapon 2 involves Detective Murtaugh (Danny Glover) going to the South African Embassy in America to inquire about taking a vacation there—a conversation that serves as an elaborate ruse so that Detective Riggs (Mel Gibson) can sneak into the building and…

Stop lying; you did it, too.

Media day for the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs at one point turned into an instance of coach Gregg Popovich delivering a speech that condemned Donald Trump’s recent comments about players protesting, called the United States an embarrassment to the world and called out white privilege for what it is.
