My threshold for insult isn’t the issue. I’ve been in a male dominated corporate environment for most of my adult life, my skin isn’t thin enough to be the qualifier. The word is offensive, the origins of it’s usage will never go away. Nigger with a country accent “negra” is no different than nigger. If your…

My comparison is that people write from their own perspectives, that’s the bottom line. Sometimes when I’m writing fictionally my characters without intention take the form of women of color, particularly black women because that is my experience and I’m not so sure that for the sake of being PC I’m going to change…

Regarding Lena Dunham, her explanation about writing from her own perspective is fair! While it may be annoying to watch a show where the cast members live in an exclusively white Brooklyn or travel through a monochromatic NYC in general, most people write about their lives and get to represent it the way that they…

If nothing else I smiled through the entire thing. I feel like she is making herself a target for all of the people who live in her “hater lane” for the simple fact that there are not just samples but directly cloned lines from Wu-Tang, Fetty Wop, of course the faux Mary cameo (which would be “dope”—yes I’m using 90s…

I am a working mom and would classify myself as a womanist, so I get the issues that women face in the workplace, however, I’m probably going to be the dissenting voice regarding Jessica Jackley. Every place isn’t meant for children EVEN if it is targeting women. Not every issue in my life is connected to my…

I usually hate the term “first world problems” but give me a fucking break....

This is when I realize that they have totally forgotten the “protect and serve” aspect of the job in regard to citizens!

I’ve lived in Florida and seen manatees up close and personal, they can be a little jarring initially, particularly if you grew up in New York avoiding beach water like the plague (ahem Coney Island), however, in this particular case, I wish that this was the King of Nefarious Manatee Crew. This girl needed her leg…

As a lifelong Knicks fan, I can’t help but love JVG. Coach goes all in for his players:

I tell my daughter all of the time that I remember what it is like to have the emotions of a 17 year old and that as an adult woman there are moments where you have those same feelings just at a graduated level and about things that are important to you in that time. So, do I know what it’s like to be 17? Yes! Do I…

I've always said that at the end of the day, even in the case of the "rare" company that seems to love you, it's a "pimps and hoes" mentality. People become brainwashed into believing that just because a company issues a paycheck and occasional kudos that they are part of a beloved family. The company does what it…

There is an entire DKNY ad in this month's Marie Claire that showcases "baby hair" a la 1980s around the way girl...not a black chickin sight.

The entire time Andre's wife (Kelly Ripa lookalike) has been so closemouthed and whispering when it comes to his meds that I assumed that no one else knew about it. The scene in the elevator made it clear that the brothers do.

Some of us have been issuing "take these cookies" commands for years lol

They seem to lack the annoying quality of half of the celebrities that are posted about here, I hope this article doesn't become the equivalent of the Sports Illustrated curse....

I didn't listen...but the title alone sounds beneath the talent of Tamia. It seems like the plight of the music industry has gotten to her, in order to become relevant, standards have to be dropped. This is so beneath the woman that gave me my favorite in the shower-power ballad:

Thank you for this response. Since writing the above, I took time to review the "beef" that she had and I agree that she is responding to some very specific things. You know, it's funny, how being in the LBGTIQ has made some feel that they should be immune from criticism. While no one should ever be subjected to…

nah...#letyeezydoit or you're going to get this guy....

There seems to be some odd tradeoff...while he was a douche before, he has now inherited some of the vocal inflections and weird personality traits of Kim and she has now inherited his poor fashion choices. After hearing him in a Seacrest interview, I think she actually comes out on top in this one.

When people get re-married to an ex, I often wonder if they got divorced without truly working on it, and if all of the "never quit on your marriage" traditionalists are right or if they simply forgot why they got divorced in the first place. In the few instances that I've witnessed it first hand it seems to be that…
