This is glorious. I’m surprised it took the average black person this long to see through the root’s bullshyt. Intelligent black society shouldn’t have to spell it out with tongue-in-cheek banter. Critical thinking is lost upon us sometimes
The Root is garbage, but time is too precious to waste on it @Crude Abolitionist
You have like 80% of the posts in this thread, I think we have moved on from The Root. You have done your job![]()

Even the Gay Black men can't ride with this shyt...
The Root is DONE
This is the perfect time for you to chronicle this, expose they azzesYears ago, I was a popular blogger on black culture. I went to a Blogging While Brown conference. I met up with an Editor of The Root. Convo was cool. She was like, send in your blogs and I'll retweet or post them up on the site. Sent them 40+ blogs over the next few months, not one retweet. Not one guest post.
Was it my writing? Did it suck?
Turns out, they kept rejecting it because it didn't fit "the mold" of what they were looking for. What they were looking for was some man bashing, LGBTQ heavy blogs. Realized they didn't want anything that spoke to black male masculinity or solutions to black communal problems. They just wanted to rant and complain and shyt on black men.
I've been DONE with them ever since.

The Root is DONE
Second only to the contingent of Caucasian criers is the group of “male activists” who have unearthed The Root’s insipid agenda of destroying the strong black male. According to these fragile pseudo-intellectuals, the straight black male is being attacked through an organized effort of the white media, the gay agenda and the black feminist Illuminati.
But unlike black women, gays, trans people and even the salty, snowflake-like wypipo who criticize The Root, these so-called “strong black men” have leaped into action to confront the issue head-on by showing their mental and physical fortitude in the strongest way possible.
They created a Twitter hashtag.
This past weekend, a group of heroes united to form fukkboy Voltron on social media and created the hashtag #TheRootArticles to fight our agenda of destroying the straight black man.
Upon discovering this hashtag, I’d like to say The Root’s staff was disappointed, ashamed or even angered, but we found it as hilarious as the anonymous emails we receive from dudes named Chad who take the time to point out our anti-white agenda that shills for Barack Obama, Black Lives Matter and black identity extremists.
According to these people, the white-owned staff of The Root is promoting an anti-black agenda that will ultimately decimate the black family by telling people they can love whomever they wish and advocating that women can do whatever the hell they want with their vaginas. Although every article we write is posted to social media, they say we promote the ones that are anti-male and we even have enough power to suppress their clever hashtag.
On behalf of everyone at The Root, I would like to apologize. We are truly sorry.
We are that you are so fragile that you feel bullied by a few articles. I’m sorry that your tiny, inadequate penises egos are made flaccid by the idea that black women might possibly recognize your ain’t shytness.
I’m sorry that you believe that the simple existence of anyone who isn’t straight and male might take your spot in the social hierarchy. I’m sorry that The Root’s invisible “gay agenda” threatens your sexuality. I’m sorry your feeble idea of blackness and masculinity keeps you up at night fearing you might wake up gay or white. I’m sorry that your opinion of black people is so low that you think a people who survived slavery, Jim Crow and the Mid-Atlantic slave trade could be destroyed by words on the internet.
But most of all, I’m sorry that I laughed at you.
To be fair, I only laughed at how these feeble-minded Woke-teps will share the links to the white-owned media outlets who blatantly scour The Root’s site to see what black people are up to. But even though The Root employs a grand total of zero whites, and a white person has never told me what I should, could or couldn’t write, these supposedly pro-black warriors obviously think white people do it better.
They are willing to trust sites “mainstream” media sites with half The Root’s audience because these conscious charlatans automatically distrust anything written by black hands. Go look through the hashtags and see how many links to black media these butthurt warriors have shared on their white-owned Twitter profiles. I couldn’t find any, but I was probably laughing too hard.
To be fair, I can’t honestly dispute the allegation that The Root is white-owned—mostly because I don’t have a clue who makes up the consortium of investment firms that owns Univision. All I know is that the site was founded and run by black people since it’s inception.
The reason we find this hashtag is so hilarious is that it sounds exactly like Tucker Carlson, the “It’s OK To Be White” movement and the people who slam us for any article that neglects to mention black women, trans people, gays or people who actually like raisins in their potato salad.
Despite the fact that the men employed as writers at The Root are all straight black males, we are apparently guilty of furthering our own annihilation. If we end up destroying straight black men, then ultimately we will end up destroying ourselves, too, which should make everyone happy.
But until that day comes, to the strong black men who took to Twitter whose cute little #YouToo movement is preventing the straight black male genocide, I assure you all that #TheRootArticles will be more careful in the future not to upset your brittle spirits. I never knew that black men could cry white tears.
I stand corrected.
But by all means, keep that hilarious hashtag going.
I’m cool with that.
