Shocking - not. http://www.theroot.com/don-t-let-the-sm ... 1819987586 In all truth, I was originally never going to tell this story. Because for the longest time, I didn’t even know if there was a story. I didn’t take what had happened to me seriously. Sexual harassment, unwanted sexual attention, grabby or flirtatious old men; we’re taught as women to make excuses for them, especially as black women. You’re supposed to be A-OK with a touch here, a squeeze there, a dirty look, or even an unwanted grab. You’re supposed to laugh—act grateful, even—for the attention. Even if you never wanted the attention in the first place. What happened to me was something that was so casual, I almost didn’t even consider it sexual harassment, even though it was beyond my desire. I used to work for a very popular media company, and we had a meeting that ended with a keynote speech by the living legend, the Rev. Jesse Jackson. So, of course, the conference room was packed wall-to-wall. After Jackson’s riveting and inspiring speech about the responsibility of black journalists, we all lined up to take a photo with him. One by one, we stepped up, shared a few words and thank-yous with Jackson, snapped photos and went back to our desks. Simple enough, right? I walked toward Jackson, smiling, and he smiled back at me. His eyes scanned my entire body. All of a sudden, I felt naked in my sweater and jeans. As I walked within arm’s reach of him, Jackson reached out a hand and grabbed my thigh, saying, “I like all of that right there!” and gave my thigh a tight squeeze. The article continues... |

The Root is the fucking worst. They really missed another good liberal headline: "Male black sexual harassers are the new white supremacists" I love how the author got called on her bullshit by people who were on set that day referenced in the second half. |

Yeah, of all the Gawker spinoff sites, The Root might be the worst. Their headlines crack me up, though. |

The Root isn't a Gawker spinoff, it was a standalone blog (or maybe it was part of Slate) that became part of Univision around the same time Gawker did. |

I just lump them all together now. Kind of like The Onion now. Used to be a funny site with razor sharp wit that poked fun at everyone. Now, it is a complete liberal shill. |

The Onion is still awesome. |

They took one of the best sites on the Internet and ruined it. |
