The Isley Brothers recorded Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight. It was written and sung by James Taylor but the Isley Bros set the standard with their version.

I’d love to hear Joy talk about the firing of Tiffany Cross but she’s not even interested in tackling that subject. I’m so over MSNBC.

Whose brilliant idea was it to try and sell “a stunningly framed photo” of the notorious racist Bridgitte Bardot on TheRoot.com? Who came up with that doosey of an idea?

I’m here for this. I am tired of women like me being the butt of jokes from Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, Corey Holcolm, and Bill Maher (who thinks he has a pass to crack on Black women since his has a fetish for us). I bet Chris will think twice and look both ways before coming down on us again whether it’s …

Comedians think they have no boundaries and that they can joke about anyone and anything at any time (Dave Chappell and Kevin Hart come to mind). Not last night.

They’ll bring us on to host, introduce, entertain and anything else to make them look good. Yet, they’ll do all they can not to celebrate our achievements.

The best update I’ve done for my newly-acquired kitchen is a nice backsplash and under-cabinet lighting. It was worth every cent spent.

The stars of the production are right. This is a story that needs to be told, but not with imaginary white people created by Claire Coss.

You couldn’t pay me enough money to watch Tyler Perry. I’d rather sit in silence reminiscing about old folk.

Only a fool would put on a cape for Kanye at this point. He’s an embarrassment to any and every thing he stands for. Pity.

What’s Black On TV? Reminds me how my mama and her friends would notify each other when Black folk were scheduled to be on television. Alma would call Toni who would call Jane who would call Marie who would call…

They didn’t’ have much room to give us awards, but they always have room for us to make them look like they’re inclusive. So white of them.

Every generation has to fight for its humanity.

An honorable mention to some old-school Black actors who appeared on L&O. They helped carve the way for today’s actors: the incomparable Roscoe Lee Brown, Paul Benjamin, and Carl Gordon. Thespians, indeed.

But even if reparations were to pass in the House, any enthusiasm should be tempered. 

Biden is turning out to be smarter than I expected. I think he’s being upfront and vocal about nominating a Black woman to encourage Black folk to go to the polls this mid-term election year. Even with re-drawn districts we need to get out and vote.

You couldn’t pay me enough money to visit Florida nor Texas. Especially after they let they found a guy innocent in Tampa who killed someone in the movie theatre for throwing popcorn on him. I’ll find somewhere else to spend my vacation dollars.

They will never renew Empire. Not after that Jussie Smollett mess. I’ll be surprised if anyone who openly supported Jussie (Daniels, Howard, Hensen) continue to work in Hollywood.

Am happy to see this. Haven’t read Essence in ages but will be sure to pick up a copy with them on the cover.

The protesters he threatened, including Brandy (aka June) Knightly, were not armed. June was unarmed, directing traffic, and trying to keep protesters safe. I knew her, was grateful to have her as an ally, and I know she will be missed by so many people including me.
