I've ALWAYS liked the structure/lack of distraction of the office; and I like having separate work and home lives. So, I've never really desired to work from home. Though, I've always had reasonable or even negligible commutes, so it's never been that much of a burden to actually go to the office. If lived a long…

Yeah, even as someone who attended PWI college and grad school, I'd agree. You sometimes hear that argument - HBCUs insulate minorities from "the real world" since they're not learning to deal with white/majority BS. But, most people I know who attended HBCUs have a unique layer to their confidence (the result of…

As of now, I believe various "diversity initiatives" in college admissions are still legal - race can be a factor to consider, but not the only factor - , as compared to a strict quota admissions system (we want X number of blacks, X number of whites, X number of Asians, etc. regardless of test scores, grades, other…

Yeah. That deliberate non-link between city and burbs happened for the same reasons in a lot of cities. For example, there's a reason why in a metro area as fast-growing and robust as Atlanta, the MARTA trains aren't extended further out out into the northern metro counties.

I still think the actress who plays Tasha NEEDS to play Tichina Arnold's daughter in something (or Tichina Arnold herself if they ever do a Tichina Arnold biopic.) Not that they look exactly the same, but similar, and they both have a distinctive high energy.

They made it seem like Issa asked Molly to track down Lawrence and confront him.

I think the Regina Hall slave movie/series they're watching is a parody - made up for Insecure.

Yeah, and she clearly likes him and seems to really want for things to work
out with him, so she might not be seeing things entirely clearly.
Lawrence should just say "I don't know where I'm at right now with my
ex; if you want to keep hanging out (i.e., having s*x in a casual
relationship), cool, but beyond that I…

I have to get my HBO Now subscription up and running again. I usually get it a couple months per year to binge a few series. But, I like to have it in present time for Insecure so I can discuss it. I'll be ready for next Sunday. Lol.

"Blatman"!!

Article is on point. And, that quoted Atlantic article speaks to the simple fact that whites are seen as individual humans and blacks are seen as a monolithic evil. A lot of these opioid crisis stories involve (largely) a white working class population that has digressed in terms of jobs, money, family stability,…

"Like I know your dog is friendly to you and your family but when I see a
pit bull moseying down the street by itself and you are a half block
away I'm pulling out my bear spray."

Like Panama, I like (some) dogs, but context matters. Dogs make me VERY nervous. Everyone is convinced that their dog is perfect and won't jump on you or bite you, or won't urinate or defecate where they're not supposed to, but that's not always the case. I've had "friendly" dogs jump on me at the park. I was once…

Here's another pic. Not as extreme, but still pretty extreme. Looks like he's had some work done beyond the skin bleaching.

I had run across some "Black Blogs You Should Be Reading" article somewhere. I maybe even Googled "black blogs". Beyond that I think I saw some references to VSB from time to time, but never checked it out initially, which I really regret.

I generally agree. V has turned back the clock. If she keeps clicking on serve, I think she'll win. And, grass is V's best surface. But, Mugu has the game to potentially win. But, let's not entertain that possibility. Venus all the way!!

Don't know why, but I totally forgot about the Hughes brothers. They had a good run of films. Never knew (or really even thought about) how they perceived their blackness.

Sometimes, but not always. She did make it through that French Open final vs. Serena. This is her third Slam final and second Wimbledon final, so I think she'll handle the pressure, but you never know. I really want Venus to win and get a late-career Slam title. I think V can do it!!

That's why I'm so worried about the upcoming commenting format shift.
