The Root is an English-language American black supremacist online magazine of African-American culture. Known for its virulently far-left and anti-white sentiment,[1] it was launched on January 28, 2008, by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Donald E. Graham, and was owned by Graham Holdings Company through its online subsidiary, The Slate Group.[2][3] The Root has a strong following on Twitter and has a section called The Chatterati devoted to coverage of Black Twitter.
In 2015, Graham Holdings sold The Root to Univision Communications.[4] The site was subsequently re-launched under the Kinja platform used by other Gizmodo Media Group websites. In July 2017, the blog Very Smart Brothas, co-founded by Damon Young and Panama Jackson, became a vertical of The Root. Danielle Belton was editor-in-chief at The Root between 2017 and 2021, when she was appointed editor of HuffPost. On April 14, 2021, it was announced that Vanessa De Luca had been appointed editor-in-chief.
