    My diaphragm hurts from laughing so hard.

    As much as I like reading the Clapback mailbag, I like watching it even more. The biggest problem with sending white people back to wherever is that it’s almost guaranteed that the current denizens of wherever don’t want their American cousins back.

      This makes me wonder why they think African-Americans would be instantly welcomed in African countries. If they won’t bother to learn American history, I guess there’s no hope they would learn about Liberia and Sierra Leone.

      Wanda Sykes made a good joke about this, too (at the 6:30 mark):

    Clapback Mailbag was my first introduction to The Root and even on weeks when I’m too overwhelmed at work to read all the articles and comments, I always return on Friday for Michael’s insightful, educational, often touching and almost always hilarious contribution to my favorite recurring series across the GMG.

    “Sincerely, Fuck You Pay Me” wins the week for me!

    The Clapback Mailbag is THE BEST thing to happen on the internet since 1989 when I was able to talk to my friend via text through modems!
