She def deserved those hands.  AND feet.  

They have turban-like hats in most beauty supply stores. My Grandma used to wear one when I was younger. They sell them in Target now, too. That’s probably what the Sistas in Target were referring to.  I have a purple one myself, (in honor of my Grams).  Think I’ll rock it to work tomorrow just because.

I see that researching it for yourself is too much so here’s a freebie for you from an article dated Dec 25th, 1976 with an excerpt on the toxicology report:

Between kindergarten and 12th grade, I can remember at least 5 and none of them were PE teachers (though one of them went to school with my mom), and one Black principal. I’m positive there were a few more but these 5 are the ones that stand out in my memory. I wish I would have known then the value of having teachers…

I’m with you on that.  I absolutely love animals but people have GOT to stop contrasting Black people with animals. PERIOD.

Bobby is an easy target for folks, I guess. I don’t think he gets enough credit for his artistry, which is why Whitney used to always big him up.  For years it’s been about Whitney being this wonderful woman and Bobby being this horrible man.  They were human.  She wasn’t as great of a human as folks believe and he…

I thought Gabrielle Dennis did an excellent job as Whitney, (despite not looking like her at all) in the Bobby Brown biopic. As usual,  Woody McClain did an excellent job portraying Bobby.  I thoroughly enjoyed the biopic.  Bobby Brown isn’t necessarily the monster people make him out to be. 

Understood. Thanks for clarifying for me. :)

Aren’t both of Lena Horne’s parents Black? They are both of mixed parentage, but were both African American.

I rocks with you on this ENTIRE article. LeToya is legit my favorite member of Destiny’s Child. I love her singing, her acting AND her style. Thank you for writing the LeToya Luckett appreciation post!

Touche

That counts as a feel good story in my book. 

I fucks with this. Wish I could give you more stars.

Legend says John Henry was 6 feet and 200 pounds (and may have indeed been found to be an actual person). A giant for that era, but Terry Crews definitely fits the build.

It can work.

I currently live IN South Carolina and this is my first time hearing about it.

Thanks for that.  I’m glad i didn’t see the offending scene then.

Wasn’t that a new trailer in the IMDB link you shared in the article? Tiana looked different from their first version in that clip...

That was absolutely an important line. I agree that it should have been the start of the article.  Truth hurts and the Brothers were hurt AF over it. 

Which one of the MULTIPLE times that the woman called Delta that Delta would have called her back? Would it have been on the 24th of August? The 25th of August? Or 28th of August? The 12th of September, perhaps?

The Delta employee got EXACTLY what tf she deserved.  As does every other racist that calls the cops of us…

Amen to that!
