So many things to comment on....but I'll start and stay with one. I love Nicki Minaj's quote about men being like dogs that want to be pet and nourished, especially in light of Ellen Page's following quote regarding the misogyny that exists in Hellywood but then I think about my son dating a girl like Nicki and my…

I had to come back to this. I love that Matthew Knowles issued that statement about his daughters having other obligations when she posted a status on her facebook page:

I'm praying that Christmas Abbott is in there since I can't check all of this out at work...and I refuse to say "no homo"

If the rest of the world was like Jezebel, I would hear those words a lot more frequently and smile a lot more often :-)

EXACTLY MY POINT! My mother's family immigrated from Trinidad as well, while my father's family moved to Coney Island and Brooklhyn in the 40's as part of the black migration from the south. Hearing it called a "trend" is somewhat insulting. I now live in VA and I see it in parts of Richmond that were historically…

My Grandparents were Park Slope residents for years and while it may have been fostering a community within a larger city (which I don't fully disagree with), there also was a clear dividing line between that community and other parts of Brooklyn, no different than Canarsie or Bensonhurst fostering a community. It's…

Brooklyn has always had it's pots of gentrification, my reference is to the fact that Brooklyn's revival of late is similar to the "Clinton moved in" Harlem revival which included the same forgetfulness....let's move in around the crime, homeless people and crack addicts without engaging or addressing the problem and…

Brooklyn is the new Harlem...a few people move in with money in their pockets, call it chic or avant garde and everyone wants to claim it. I can remember the BK of the 80's/early 90's when the "haves" claimed their neighborhood instead of the borough (i.e., Park Slope) so as not to be mistaken for a Nostrand Ave,…

No matter how awesome Solange is, I hate to think that somewhere Queen Bey is taking the credit, "See, Solly, thanks to my limelight and traveling wind machine you got to hang in the background and develop into a indy artist and natural hair icon...you can thank me now!" (I don't have sisters so pardon my skewed Sweet…

This video is just one more reason why I don't understand the words "I'm not a dog person"!

Seriously, I'm ashamed that I checked it out and even more ashamed at the thoughts that ran thought my mind: 1) this could make a shit ton if moneEdith the pageant crowd. 2) I wonder if they need a sales exec smart enough to target shallow women angoing the black community is never going to get rid of the dreaded…

Poor thing is hanging her head in shame.

I hate accusations of not being "black enough", typically aimed at people who are representing outside of the norms of what someone else believes is a cultural identifier (you don't like rap, you eat sushi, you speak the kings english...all bull), but I will say that I think that Clarence Thomas has a good dose of…

I feel like I just intentionally tortured myself. This killed me. I've never heard anything bad about Bette and if someone were to come up with some story about what a diva she is, I would gladly forgive it thanks to this video!

This guy comes across way more humble than most Ex-Marines I know. I hate to stereotype, but I will, I've worked with some douchy Marines that made me want to create an office IED and launch their asses out of the building. This guy...not so much.

This may be totally irrational of me but in light of the recent Paula Deen events, I have no interest in being the black woman seen purchasing watermelon oreos at my local grocer.....thanks Paula Deen for making me paranoid!

"This is a sad day for Singapore," wrote one, with another commenter admitting, "I went to work feeling that I was the most unlucky person on earth for not being able to even secure a kitty.

Please! He's not meticulous enough for any of my gay friends to allow him to choose, sheesh, at least they know not to leave a trail of bodies behind!

It's about to go down! There will be protests by Westboro Baptist, Pat Robertson will call down the wrath of the real Baby Jesus and Fox News is going to begin it's annual Summer Pearl Clutching campaign with this story as the lead!
