“Those in charge of and responsible for overseeing the show failed to recognize or anticipate the racist references and cultural insensitivities that were obvious to almost everybody else.”
To this day I will yell out “SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!!!”, for no reason in particular...just cuz.

Then where is KRS-One?!
That is young to some of us.
I was thinking he looked like J. Jonah Jameson in blackface.
We Are One!
Oh come on! Just stay in the house all summer, close the windows and hope none of your neighbors have cookouts. Turn off the radio promptly at 5 before the Soul Shows come on and attend no concerts in your nearest major city (cuz Frankie be touring everywhere all summer!). By Christmas, you’ll be missing Uncle Frankie…
Ta-Nehisi explains it best.
“What about black women” is a perfectly fair complaint, because black women are not very well represented in comics. Monica Rambeau as Captain Marvel / Photon is cool, but she is rarely used, and that’s a shame. Storm is of course there, but I’m not really a fan — I get the feeling writers try to make her all things…

I have waited All. Week. Long for this. I was almost afraid there wouldn’t be a write up for Howard because “It’s Howard. Everyone knows about Howard”
As a proud graduate of an HBCU, every year, this is my favorite post. As done in years past, I’ll be posting this article on all of my social network profiles as well in all the HOWARD UNIVERSITY groups I’m a member of. Thanks again, Damon!
Same to you fellow Bison. Sadly, I can’t make it to the Sesquicentennial. But thank you for sharing this clip. Nothing like hearing that Go Go beat.
MY GOD. I can’t wait for this weekend. And it’s my great honor to meet a fellow Bison on The Root. HU... YOU KNOOOOOOOW!!
PS:
Reared against the eastern sky
Proudly there on hilltop high,
Far above the lake so blue
Stands old Howard firm and true.There she stands for truth and right,
Sending forth her rays of light,
Clad in robes of majesty;
O Howard, we sing of thee.Be thou still our guide and stay
Leading us from day to day;
Make us true and leal…
I brought you out of the Grays just for that.
My reaction to you saying he looked like Speech.
Howard Homecoming is this weekend. 150 years of excellence. The Yard is magical. #HBCULove
