    I seriously hope you don’t get killed or maimed. I know many of the writers skew my age, but how many of y’all truly get the title reference?

      Without google, I’d place that percentage around 33. I’m a 48 year old dude, so my cultural frame of reference skews back a few years.

      And the title is amazing.

    If The Root staff come back in white polo shirts and khaki slacks we should contact the CDC.

      I misinterpreted your bawling as bawling over how DC is handling this, and I had a huge post.

      So, uh..here’s a picture of a tangerine I peeled that lookes like a tyrannosaurus rex!

    Okay, so Vienna station is only open to Vienna Sausage Americans? I couldn’t have written such a funny joke.

    DC Metro Trans, enjoy your rough twitter fucking, you deserve it.

    The Root Journalists, stay together, stay safe, and if Yesha throws a fuckin’ brick (Rochester supporting you girl!!!), yall don’t see it, and the tape is gone. ;)

    Really, jokes aside; be safe, stay together and document, document document. I looked it up, saline solution is better to wash pepper spray out’cha eyes than milk or antacid. Please, Club Girls Rules apply- Stay with and leave with who ya came with, don’t let some ppl separate you, don’t leave your drinks unattended then go drink em.  SOLIDARITY.

      I’m wondering if this was a police directive that will be labeled as a momentary tactical decision. What it really translates to is Discrimination, and the people in charge as well as the officers that followed the order should be held to account for making the Vienna station ‘Whites Only’. Because any person of color was effectively denied simply because of their complexion.

      And to the officers that are people of color, shame on you for enforcing what your parents and grandparents spilled blood for to make sure that these cowardly officers didn’t have to suffer the same indignity. I know they will say they were ‘trying to keep my job And pension’. However if cops aren’t fired for police brutality, then I’m going to assume they can’t be fired for one instance of not adhering to a command, that was effectively illegal. Unless there are still laws on the books in DC that allow Jim Crow. Shame on them. They lender logistical support to Terrorists. Shame on them.

    According to WUSA9, Police in Fairfax, Va. along with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority have closed the Vienna Station northbound gates to the public and will only allow Unite the Right protesters to enter the station to head to the parade entry at the Foggy Bottom station where they are scheduled to begin their march.

    Wait wait wait wait wait. What?

    Equal Protections violations to protect Nazis...yup this is America.

      Who is running this station? I was under the impression that the union told them to fuck off with that shit.

      Well the first Charlottesville was partially the result of deliberate underpolicing.

      Apparently only few dozen of Nazis showed up, so you’ll have to really go hunting* to finish your collection of scalps.

      *Just go to the suburbs

    As someone that lives near by...I wish the out of town people would have the race riots in their communities. It's pretty annoying to have out of towners destroy the area.
