That tweet's image is so corny :mjlol:

Location: Wakanda :mjlol:



Wasn't that site black-owned initially? I thought it got sold to cacs who turned it into the shytshow it is/was now.
i fukkin can't stand the obsession with jay-z and beyonce. 2 do nothin negroes that haven't done a tenth of what somebody like Tariq has done as far as black empowerment and they arguably have way more influence among the general masses. why buy the root? its full of bedwenches and homo c00ns. start a new joint, better yet team up with Tariq and help develop melanoidnation.org. or help Jason Black with his new documentary Race War.

If you bought it how would you fire them. Do it all at once or one by one?

I would lock them out the building:mjlit:

For every negative article written by each writer I would get a bullhorn and read the article in front of everyone and then tell them GTFOH, you c00n/bedwench bytch!!!:birdman:

I disagree. You’re right. I believe that hashtag was absolutely their undoing. It took everything away from the image wise.
I used to read Gawker (pre Hogan lawsuit and bankruptcy) because back then it was at the least a source of news information with an independent analysis. During that time it was not funded or biased by corporate interests. But after the first buyout (the Gawker sale, split up of the various news divisions - the root, deadspin, lifehacker.. etc) their purpose changed. Univision was having problems maintaining their executives and readership started to tank, followed by financial issues. They’ve been tanking for the past two years.

Long story short, the Root hashtag backlash was negative publicity that was the push toward their final downfall. Im glad to see them fail and the writers never have an article published again for any organization. But I’m even happier that it sends the message that we have a voice; we’re not backing down for ourselves and we can make collective changes that have financial impact - affect entire corporate entities and conglomerates trying to repeatedly push a negative and divisive agenda.
