Yeah, even if the article might have salient points (never going to find out, because I really don't want to give them the traffic), promoting the article with that tweet isn't the move. For a platform that's supposed to be aware of how we're perceived, leading with something that leans into negative stereotypes of us without including a punchline to indicate that this is meant to be a parody of Coronavirus panic is terrible.
Not surprised. The nikkas who write there are clowns
The Root (by Gawker) can't die soon enough
The Root is about black people without being for black people

Even when the story ain't about us they find a way to shyt on straight black men, unbelievable. I'm actually kinda impressed at the reach and gymnastics it took to reach that point. This is creative c00nery at its best.
