I didn't check out his picture until it appeared on The Root today and I had to laugh. He's not attractive but of course his sense of privilege and being so high on the totem pole convinces him that black women would be clamoring to date him, therefore, he better make it doubly clear that his penis has an aversion to…

I am going to lose my job for laughing so loud at your Zydeco and pan-flute reference (not really but love it!)

"gave birth to all that swag" is OFFICIAL, lol. I used to tell my kids that their grades better be on point cause "I can't birth average" but I like your statement better!

Agreed and love the name!

It has everything to do with it. When you say that "they can" without qualification, I find that it's a lesson that I can't teach my daughter. "You can" keep it as real as you want, switch from day to day, live as you like but don't expect everyone to accept it and don't be angered or surprised if it limits you in…

@stormy weather makes my point. I'm not saying you literally CAN'T, I'm saying that unless this represents your lifestyle, job, etc. you won't get far with it, so there's no need to promote that just because you can do it, it will be accepted in every field that you want to pursue and it will allow you success.

Am I the only one that remembers Mariah going through her, "I'm not black" phase during her Mottola years and then reinvigorating her career with a more urban sound, rap collaborations, and black boyfriends? This happens all of the time and it has less to do with "being black" or "thinking she's black" than creating…

I'm not so "girl power" oriented that I don't think about the honest truth of keeping a husband/my man happy. Just the way that I'm responsible to do so, he's responsible to keep me interested, entertained and feeling valued in our relationship but everything about the advice that she offers is skewed so heavily…

(Copy and repost of my Gawker statement because but ETA: this MObama pic is exactly what I'm referencing when she is portrayed like some harpy she devil)

I wish that the reactions were so unusual that I could be shocked and surprised. There is no feel good story in America anymore that some group can't find a way to turn into an opportunity to demonstrate how hate filled we can be. I get tired of the momentary lapses of hatred whenever we have a headline grabbing…

Me, Tina, Amy and Mya Rudolph have some polyamorous unfinished (or never started) business! I love these women!

I think this is part of the point. Black women have been fighting their "battles" for years within our community but coming to help doesn't mean appropriating or changing culture as little Ms. Warrior Princess thinks.

Her contouring is amazing and so is most of the professional contouring that I've seen so I stand down on my belief that she's had work done in that area.

Can do absolutely no wrong in my opinion! I still love to watch "I think I love my wife" and see how different her persona is in that movie as opposed to Scandal. She is a kick ass actress and combined with her social and political efforts, I'm all the way impressed by her.

Growing up in NYC, I don't remember as many of my peers picking up cigarettes during our high school years and Phillip Morris corporate was there. Since I moved to south I see teenagers and a high number of young women smoking all of the time—I usually hear "well, we're a tobacco state" or "Philip Morris and Altria…

First of all, who knew that Bill Nye had some moves! Secondly, he reinforces why geeks are so lovable. Whenever he explained things scientifically I found it so endearing. The sexual tension comment didn't even gross me out the way that it would have if her were another 60 year old man talking to a 20 something…

When I read quotes or stories about The Talk, I'm not sure if I'm happy that I'm working when they come on or disappointed that I can't witness the travesty first hand.

If Kris Jenner were an average mom with a hot body and no name kids, crashing college parties, wearing her daughters Hollister t's with modified (scissor cut) v-necks, and "macking" on her daughters friends (or her own stepson) she would be the laughing stock and her kids would be mortified but alas, she isn't an…

I'm glad she referenced the hypocrisy. The roasts are so painful for me to watch that I can honestly say that every time I think I'm ready for a good laugh, I make it about three jokes in without cringing, realizing there's a tightness in my shoulders, and turning the television. Any comedian who makes jokes at the…
