So, I'm wondering if those same people who doubt that this is about race for some of the officers there can explain away this comment told to one of Don Lemon's producers. Of course it doesn't apply to every single officer, law enforcement, etc. But it happens enough that you have to wonder why so many ignore it.

Isn't this the norm at most related gossip publications (such as US, OK, etc)? I remember reading somewhere that unfortunately there is less demand for pics and stories about black celebrities (unless you're Beyonce, Jay Z or someone in that stratosphere). That's why a lot of magazines don't pay much for those photos…

Man, I guess that means that Weird Al is out of the running for the half-time show. I was kind of hoping the petition to get him on would totally work because seriously-he's way more awesome than Coldplay. Plus, how cool would his live performance of White and Nerdy and Foils be?

I've always wondered if those combs are worth it. I remember when the Denman brush was all the rage for natural hair and yet it did nothing for me.

I'm so loving this article (because Lupita is everything) but I'm a little curious about the $28.00 afro pick. What does it do that my 0.99 afro pick doesn't? That's crazy expensive.

On one hand-totally badass for Mo'ne! She's so talented and I'm glad she's getting the cred she deserves. Especially with that 70 MPH pitch! On the other hand, sports fan know that there is a well known Sports Illustrated curse. So I hope that doesn't follow her into the playoffs.

No judgements here. I have been quietly a fan of them for quite a while now. Even though they don't really follow the games.

I seriously don't get what is going on with this. When I was eight years old, my mom used to send me to the local Lindners to buy some bread , Kool-Aid and ice cream. A store that was five blocks away (in the hood, mind you) by myself. Odd, she never feared going to jail for it. I can understand if the kid is tap…

I am so for this. Ms. Patti was one of my role models when I was growing up because she doesn't play. My only hope is that she plays Gabourey's mom with the same fierceness she brought to being Mrs. Wayne on A Different World. Anyone who could put Whitley in her place while whipping up a prune cobbler is okay in my…

I was once chased back to my Tampa apartment by some swans that decided to jack me for the breadcrumbs that I was feeding the ducks. Yep, they are basically winged gangstas.

Yep. This is what I thought when I read the headline. Definitely Team Orlando on this one.

I was experiencing a lot of that in the summer when I was using the L.O.C (liquid oil cream) method of moisturizing my hair. I finally realized that it was the glycerin that I added to the spray bottle that was really causing problems. I dropped the glycerin based conditioners and swapped it so that the coconut oil is…

Yep! That stuff is liquid gold for natural hair.

All I can say is "Yes, Girl!" for this. Because I stopped messing with my eyebrows about 10 years ago when I made the mistake of having them threaded. Damn that hurt! I'd just rather pour gasoline on them and set them ablaze then to go through that again.

Joe Morton getting a nomination for Scandal just made my day. That epic take down read he gave Fitz (the one where he quoted Summertime from Porgy & Bess) was everything. Seriously, he should go to the podium during his category, drop the mic and leave.

Yes!

Definitely the sassy black female. That's so overdone. Just once I'd like to see more characters like Issa Rae's "Awkward Black Girl".

If I were her, I would have played the lottery after that. With all the luck on her side, she might have beaten the odds.

There can be only one! (Cue Sean Connery-overdressed as Ramirez)

My hair is almost shoulder length. Shrinkage is totally crazy for me too, so if I just let it air dry the length turns into a small fro (which always seems to baffle the hubby no matter how many times I explain it). I usually do them right after washing because I'm lazy and clumsy so I try to avoid stretching my hair…
