A superior blog that looks down its self-righteous nose at American pop culture and hypocrisy.
"DNA don't lie."
Nearly pure white cane sugar!
Last night on Finding Your Roots, The Root’s editor-in-chief Henry Louis Gates Jr., host of the PBS program, revealed what so many of us already suspected. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Blackbiter’s very own second place winner of “The White Sugar Awards,” is only 51% African American.
Isn’t it so sad that (while the rest of America is giving birth to losers like George Zimmerman) her brilliant genes end with her?
You deny me an education, then call me stupid. You deny me a job, then call me lazy. The sight of me irritates like the edges of a rock in your shoe. You say I am ugly, but you won’t turn away.

O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

While our families slip away
Where are you, men of courage?
You were made for so much more
