I'm a WOC, I get it, I really do and I appreciate your perspective. I think it's sadder that our perception is that the mainstream media, pop culture, and "caucasian approved" stamp is where we need to identify our role models. Regardless of what is pushed in our face as the black standard, I think it's more…

Can we please not attribute Beyonce "stan" worship as particularly exciting, necessary or instrumental to the life of WOC. While we may be able to be grouped together by others, let's not do it to ourselves. Let's just say that Beyonce is a part of current pop culture worship no different than Gaga when she landed,…

That last part is an interesting tidbit: James Green's LinkedIn profile title is Renaissance Man. His current company is "Salvation and Prophecy Design" which he describes as an artistic ministry created to magnify the Lord...ummm....yep, typical: I was an over the top druggie, crazy man and now I found Jesus so I'm…

She clearly has stated before that she wasn't known for putting as much into her personal life by referencing that if she had married Stedman they would have gotten a divorce because she wouldn't make a good wife, ,in the traditional sense so yes, she probably is referencing that as a parent.

True enough, Christianity is interpreted as a very prudish religion by people of all races, in this case it was just the black portion of the movement that lashed out and continues to at Megan Good. They started in on her before she even got married, questioning her ability to be a good pastor's wife. I just don't…

I imagine it no differently than being the daughter of Martha Stewart or any other high profile, career driven woman. The double standard is so clear that yes, the kids would have probably talked crap about Oprah but when it's a man that is career driven and rarely home, no one mentions it. Kids are the…

Meagan Good is a "rap example" for a reason, she's the gold standard of gorgeous and from industry gossip, very sweet, HOWEVER, this dress is going to cause another dust up in the holy rolling, black church community lol.

Except for the part where they still manage to get in the same amount of hazing and shitty life impacting rules that on campus frats do. So resourceful.

Or Fox News who really gets such a hard on for any story that makes a stereotype of Michelle O.....hmm, I think the fellas over at Fox may have a repressed "thing" for FLOTUS lol.

(sorry for the diatribe) Before reading this excerpt from Roxana Gay, I posted something similiar on Twitter. It really gets old to read and hear the constant posing of Michelle Obama as "angry" from many outlets. Even a black woman on FB posted the sequence of pictures promoting the "Michelle had to check the white…

As someone who was married and had two children by the age of 22 (not for that reason), I would say that starting a sentence with "being a mom is hard" is the exact reason that you don't have a baby for the sake of feeling like you have someone else in the world and are not alone. I don't care what gender the baby…

I don't agree with the attacks being made against Lorde or her boyfriend, but I'm not surprised for two reasons: This isn't the first or last time that we will see teens behaving this way because they're internet gangsters and have kicked bullying up some notches and finally, she made herself a target (not that anyone…

First of all, James EMMY, my friend, EMMY! I seriously watched this and he had all of the lip quivering angry moments of a woman scorned and it got me on his side 100%!

Did she become an expert after being a media troll or was she already a designated "expert"? And...her grammar...I'm officially shaming her for her verbal imperfections.

I don't understand any individual (political, religious or otherwise) getting so caught up in litigating/managing "gay rights, marriage, etc" unfortunately, I think the point is missed in one portion of your statement:

Disgusting! Also the targeting of the Sikh temple in the shooting earlier this year/late last year. I think that sheer stupidity is why it's so easy for racist organizations to recruit, they don't have to dig deep to find new recruits, idiots are the easiest to find.

Ridiculous! My new neighbors moved in and my daughter was telling me how nice the lady was, etc. She said, "the lady was so nice" and then randomly said, they are Indian "like from India", it was unusual for her except that we live in a predominately older and non-minority community and I think she was saying, "hey…

Unfortunately, it is. The other countries (including my Trini family members) are so intent on historical education that is much more diverse than their own history. I find many who have migrated here to be better educated about American History and Geography than we are about any other country (and even our own). …

She has come across as 100% likable throughout this season. Additionally, I hope that Corbin Bleu gets the opportunity to revive his career if that's what he chooses. Otherwise, quite impressed at the background info that they gave about him and his beginnings, he seems to come from a very supportive family.

Not surprising! I moved to the south after growing up in NYC and was shocked at how many people put all spanish speaking people in one column: Mexican. I think it helped them justify their silly deportation and immigration rants. Or the people that believe that everyone with a Caribbean accent is Jamaican, a sure…
