If only I had more upvotes to give! Lawd!

I was able to appreciate that idea for years, but it became more and more difficult close friends of mine kept finding less inventive ways to rationalize the murder of people who looked like me. I never had a problem with the proposition that we could agree to disagree until it was apparent that we disagreed on my…

Don't forget "Fades Em All". That beat went hard.

The sitar.
Sorry, I just had to get my music nerd on.

Truth be told, Tichina Arnold and Tisha Campbell don't get enough credit as great comedic actresses.

That's the impression I get. I was in my late teens/early 20's, so Fresh Prince was of little interest to me. It had humor, but it wasn't must see TV. I programmed my VCR for Martin, every week…Damn I'm old.

I may be misremembering but I thought Shades said the Judas' (Judi?) were made of a non-ferrous material, when he introduced them to Cottonmouth.

One who thinks he's taking initiative and making an "executive decision".

I'll check it out asap.

These types of exchanges are necessary, so believe me when I say I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you.
1. In essence, I think we probably see eye to eye on the value of integration/human rights, semantics notwithstanding.
2. You're absolutely right. Just by virtue of sheer numbers, there are large parts of the…

Forgive me for the numbering. I just don't want anything I'm saying to get misconstrued or muddied.
1. Human rights and segregation are definitely linked. My point was that most Black people fighting for civil rights didn't view integration as an accomplishment unto itself, since most were accustomed to the idea of…

Not really. The civil rights movement was primarily about human rights and economic equity. Many of the leaders involved were well aware that there would have to be some level of integration in order to accomplish those goals, at least in the immediate sense, but segregation itself was not exactly the issue, for most.…

I f*%#ing hate that kid.

I'd been encouraged to watch it by a few Black people. The interesting thing is, each of them worked in some aspect of children's services or education.

It's commonly known that the hype man rankings are as follows:
1. Flava Flav
2. Freaky Tah
3. Spliff Star
4. Joe Biden
5. Sen Dog

I get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis.

I find that a little hard to believe. I know very few Black women who even watch The Bachelor (not that I know ALL the Black women in the country). More so, if Black women's fandom depended on an entertainers romantic involvement with white women, none of them would watch professional sports.

I actually hi-fived my screen….and I don't even hi-five people, in real life!

So true. Gore practically gave the election away, by doing everything he could to distance himself from what, at the time was considered a successful presidential run………minus the fellatio.

Not exactly true. With the exception of the late 70's and 90's, Black music had been very 'singles' centered, throughout most of the music industry's existence. Not saying artists didn't create cohesive albums or the public didn't bye them, but much of the invested energy and dollars was on singles (45's, cassingles,…
