    Typical liberal entitlement mentality.

    “I did work under contract, I expect to be paid. Wah!”

    They should be thanking the Ebony for publishing their work and not charging them for the free exposure they got, and maybe think about getting a real job like steel press operator or bootstrap stitcher.

      I really think this needs a bold sarcasm font, as I’m positive too many people (in non-creative job sectors) will read it and say “Hell Yeah!!”

      I’m not going to change my style because people are stupid. Part of the problem we’re facing in the world today is that things are made too idiot proof. It prevents evolution from working the way it’s supposed to.

      Like I don’t understand why responsible gun owners need safeties on their weapons. Are you responsible or not? If you’re responsible, you won’t shoot yourself. If you aren’t...well you probably shouldn’t have had a gun in the first place.

    How many writers at The Root are currently owed money from Ebony? (I remember reading about at least one...)

      The fact that it took the National Writers Union to intervene on behalf of this group is telling. No coincidence just about every media empire is also fighting staunchly to prevent their staffers from unionizing.
