I want to go on a quick solo trip next weekend and explore a city. Should I go to Seattle or San Francisco? Please tell me why, if you care to.
Seattle might be winning because of the weather forecast.
All the rooms on Expedia are giving me various names for areas of town, and I need to know which is the best area for a tourist without a car.
What is Belltown, Tukwila etc?
You guys have given me great advice about where to stay. I'm going to look in downtown/Belltown

Imagine making Juneteenth a federal holiday when laws are being enacted all over the country that will prevent people from being taught why it's a holiday.
What Black people have experienced in America isn't so much progress as it is gaslighting with a side of placating.
We keep being told that America isn't racist as America continues to do things that prove it is indeed racist, and when we speak out, we get Juneteenth as a federal holiday at the same time many states are making illegal to talk about how racist America is.

So, based on the current testimony, the owner/manager of the store escalated the issue with the alleged fake $20 bill to the police. The young store clerk, a young black man, had offered to just pay for the purchase out of his own pocket. His boss refused.

Now we here.
I'm pointing this out to make another point: People often weaponize the police against Black folks simply to make a point or put us in our "place."
The clerk testified that the rule in the store is if they take a fake bill, they are responsible for it and have to pay out of their own pocket if it happens.

The boss sent them out of the store twice to try and get Floyd and his friend to come back in.

OK so y'all have all the smoke for Lil Nas X and Megan and Cardi, but I ain't heard a peep about this fucking "Throat Baby" song.

Hypocrites.
I have seen long ass dissertations about Megan and Cardi's WAP, a song where women are celebrating their sexuality and the power of their pussies WITHOUT centering men.

Which is what y'all are really mad at.
If WAP was them begging for dick and acting like men are everything, no one would complain. It's the fact that they are owning their own sexuality that has you intimidated.

This morning, @TheRoot email box is full of people calling us the real racists while also saying shit like WHITE POWER and calling us niggers.

Good morning. How is your Thursday so far?
But seriously, The Root is a Black online media site. We report and discuss topics from a Black perspective.

If you are uninterested in that, there are plenty of other "legacy" news sites that only talk about things from the white point of view. You can go read them.
Why do y'all get a battery in your back and want to come and argue with us about our coverage?
