I hear he's dating Katie Holmes. I really hope that's true.

I mean, Joey and Wanda, y'all.

If Celine Dion and Toni Braxton sell through their residences, apparently so could J. Lo. I'll admit that she'e entertaining. I'm just sad that her music career is so big, that she can take two years off from acting. Remember when she started out acting?

all lined up, stared at and approved.

Please don't try to explain to me what satire is, or what it looks like. I know what satire is. In this case, the satire should be the hubris of a successful black man who regularly gets deflated by his contemporaries.

We get this:

There are socially conscious entertainers, and there always have been. It's just that some are more focused about it than others. For every Jesse Williams, Aisha Tyler, or John Cho—people who quietly campaign for political causes—there's a "Do They Know It's Christmas After All." The way they go about it so

Jesse Williams is goddamn national treasure. He was on Girl on Guy with Aisha Tyler, and he talked about his experiences growing up bi-racial in urban Chicago, then moving to suburban Chicago. He experienced this sudden shift from "being the lightest (read:whitest) person in a community to the darkest." I'm just glad

No, he didn't go about his merry way.

Andre finally conceded to holding a bar mitzvah for his son as long as he could hold a bro mitzvah (!!!) There are so many things wrong with that statement. I am willing to concede that, unless he is willing to convert to Judaism, you do not host a bar mitzvah for your non-Jewish

The colorism aspect bothers me as well. Because black women are often the assumed arbiters of this. But in this case, it's a black man qualifying her blackness. It's okay if you don't like the show. You can always watch reruns of The Bernie Mac Show, a modern family sitcom that handled blackness, fame, and

Understand that you are worth more than some Eggos and/or a can of soup.

Years ago, I went through some personal and professional challenges that really tested my self-esteem and self-image. So I decided to take a trip to Costa Rica and reflect. During my flight I met a woman who heard my troubles, and essentially said

I appreciate the re-quote. How would I ever know what you're referring to in my long, seven lines of comments? Anyway...

I appreciate the extra historical knowledge on lithe-yet-capable actors in film. But that was fifty years ago, when our culture wasn't as fitness-obsessed. What I'm talking about is a more informed

Everyone can mock the hat. That's obvious. But this is actually more disappointing. This looks like something anyone could fine anywhere. At lease the Wang hat was more conceptual. As Michael Kors put it, "It's not fashion, it's clothes."

I like the top too. I could see the coooooooollllest person at the house party wearing this with white bottoms (skirt/pant/short).

I would probably get this. My current gym bag is falling apart.

Loving the motorcycle-styled puffer coat with the large notched lapel. I wonder if it's actual leather. I think, like once a year, H&M sells something made of actual leather.

"What a little fashion dynamo."

So, I'm one of a small minority of people who don't like black-ish. The media seems to be in love with it because a major network has invested what appears to be the best show about African American angst since Chapelle's Show. Because ABC is trying to say something socially relevant is therefore worthwhile. But what

It was a nice surprise seeing Shonda there. But I would've thought they could snag Aisha Tyler as well, because she too is a Dartmouth alum.

And I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. Please do not misinterpret my disagreement with his views as a disregard. After all, I don't agree with your decision not to attend the exhibition. But I support your desire to not be uncomfortable. Neither of our opinions should be disregarded. My point is that none of
