I disagree. Observation is a pretty useful tool when it comes to who one chooses to (dis)trust.

Hence is why I called Handler out as a pathetic Aniston asskisser. It doesn't make her assessment about certain women wrong, though.

That sums up the Black woman to a tee.

"there is talent... then there's Nicki."

That's funny, because while I don't consider myself a "millennial", either (I'm a year older than you) and can't honestly say that I relate to either of the shows that you've mentioned. Did I enjoy BTVS? Sure, but I couldn't relate to it, nor could I relate to SATC (though I much prefer it to the tired offering of…

As much as I can't stand Chelsea Handler's pathetic Aniston-asskissing self, I see nothing wrong with what she's said. As much as we'd like to believe that every woman follow the same code of sisterhood law, there are some assholes (i.e.: the I-Don't-Have-Female-Friends/I-Don't-Owe-Other-Women-Anything kind) that fit…

This news made my night.

You just spoiled the book and the movie. ;)

Actually, this knock-knock joke is courtesy of Kevin Hart.

Not that I held this movie (or anything that Steven Q Harvey shits out) in high esteem, but it pisses me the hell off that some Black women are still choosing to waste their hard-earned money on a movie that stars an impotent troll of a "comedian" that bashes Black women for sport (the above "joke" being the latest…

Ah, Jezebel's infamous take on the Jill Scott article. Such fond memories (not really)...

What makes you think that a Black bachelorette ending up with a white man will go over any better?

No one did this after the first episode of Friends (or the first season...first couple seasons?)

All I'll add to your excellent post is that the White Yuppie/Hipster influx is also destroying culturally rich neighborhoods such as Brooklyn.

I definitely believe that they went out of their way to tell and (eventually) show that not only was she wrong for not drinking the UES Kool-Aid, but that she was worst than they were.

This is what "post-racialism" has wrought.

Funny you mention Queens, as I was partially raised there as well (born in BK, lived there until I was 9 when I moved to Queens and spent the rest of my childhood/teen years there). While I never took to Ugly Betty, I did appreciate that the Suarez household was in Queens (and that they actually taped there). That's…

Jessica Szohr's character was biracial and while she was their token (female hipster), she was often treated as the scum beneath the white characters' shoes because she refused to revel in their greatness. Even her best friend (a white guy) ended up shunning her in favor of his newfound Upper East Side friends, thus…

And this is the latest in a series of reasons why I believe that "post-racialism" is complete and utter bullshit. What's especially galling is that the Brooklyn that I was born and partially raised in isn't the Brooklyn that is being depicted on this screen or in any other show that is airing right now, since both TV…

On another note, this deserves a separate thread...
