If that's the purpose of theroot, they are free to state that it's a space for black women and LGBT people and move on. They are the ones who claimed they focused on black people collectively, then stabbed black men in the back.

So they can fukk off.

this is what i always thought they are/were. the few times i came across a piece there, i wrote it off as click bait. to me they are/were woke/liberal Mediafakeout, with think pieces rather than gossip being their fodder. and i'm fine with that. i'm even fine with their clapback, to the extent that they accept, or already accepted, that they will never represent or speak for the black community as a whole. but start crossing into the whole "black people who don't agree with us don't know any better" and :ufdup:

to be fair, i don't listen to or follow tariq or his ilk either. i only take thecoli semi-seriously cause there are a lot of different viewpoints. but even then, it's just a forum.

some (many) of us can draw our own opinions and call out bullshyt without anyone's help

this is cool and all but, the next step is for us is to make a list and boycott and black list all the editors, and contributors who have written for The Root...
Cause once the root fail, these roach ass nikkas will go else where, and may try to switch up their shtick. it's time as blk men to put our foot down, and defend ourselves on all fronts.

TheRoot and similar sites say all this wild shyt about Black men and want us to "consider" or "learn something" from their bullshyt articles,
but despite Black men and women and even some gay Black men criticizing them I bet it hasn't even crossed any of their minds that
maybe they might need to reconsider their approach.

When will people shut the fukk up and stop using that race hustler WS talking point when it comes to Tariq. People never call Jared Taylor or Richard Spencer no "race hustler"

shyt so see though.
Ok, Jared Taylor and Richard Spencer are race hustlers too. Now what? This thread is about BLACK people misusing their platforms, no? Or only black people who don't say things you like :comeon:

Tariq didn't do anything wrong with this topic but he's entertained enough fukkery for me to look at him with the side eye. I'm not going to give somebody a pass because they say shyt I agree with... you shouldn't either.
