From my own experience, my name doesn't let on my ethnicity (AA). I was once in a beginning level Philosophy class in college. I actually enjoyed it and theoretical and philosophical discussions are pretty alright with me.

Listen, life is scary. There are unknowns that we can't plan for. About 10% of the population is allergic to penicillin, some people can have a severe adverse reaction when taking it, but no one is advocating for the global boycott of antibiotics because of the small chance of an adverse reaction in a some. This…

I agree with you. There is a lot of media focus on things that go on in the Tri-State area, that means little to the rest of the country. How many articles have there been on manspreading? This is such a uniquely New York problem, and the rest of the country is like "Kanye shrug" as they make their way to work in…

"If your car breaks down in the middle of the night on a country road, who do you want coming by, an MBA in a Beemer or do you want a couple of good ole boys in a pick-up truck with a tool box in the back?"

Lauer was a jerk to her, no doubt about it. How he's been able to escape the ax as the ratings have continued to slip I don't understand. Guthrie better watch her back for sure. However, I was never in love with Curry's anchor skills. I think she's a heck of a journalist, just not a great morning TV anchor or…

Unfortunately its par for the course for on-air talent. I have a lot of news friends that are basically forced to stay in toxic situations because they don't want to leave the market, but a non-compete means they can't work for a competitor for one, sometimes two years. That's a long time to go without a paycheck. …

I think you're right on all counts, I think it was a bit of all of the above.

And how much you wanna bet they held her hostage with a non-compete so if she did leave she couldn't work for any competitors and earn a living at a rival network. I will say this, I always thought she was a damn good correspondent, not so much in the anchor chair. That said, she never deserved to be treated the …

If the daughter has asthma, should she have been purchasing a dog in the first place? Oftentimes pets can be a real trigger for asthma. Seems like the woman is full of excuses and just an all around asshole in general. Hopefully this pup will go to a great home and give this lady all the deuces with his furry…

The magic of natural looking photo retouching, probably a good base to start with but it's definitely been smoothed out via image editing.

I liked it so-so, I tend to like grittier R-rated cable shows that can have all the sex, drugs and rock'n roll that would make this show more believable. So far, this is just soooooo melodramatic, even the cliffhanger music leading up to commercial break sounded like a soap opera.

I mean why should a WOC bother, <full disclosure I've never watched this show, never will I watch this show for this very reason> when she knows that a beautiful, smart successful WOC will still lose out to a woman trying to impress a dude with a fake, bloody heart in a cooler who possesses the crazy eyes (see video…

Haha TLJ is ovah it!

The styling is terrible, its pretty clear he doesn't have the tone to make that shirtless suit work, and it shows that he's not comfortable with it. The photog couldn't adjust his vision to make this one work. This just doesn't do it at all. I really dig the others but they had much better looks to work with. I…

This show was the worst. Completely white washed idea of NYC, not to mention that it was hokey on top of it all. A lot of people, especially black circles, most certainly noticed and commented at the time. And I'm left wondering how this show is still garnering this much positive sentiment after all these years…

There is a LOT of valid criticisms about this topic in the black community so it most definitely isn't limited to white liberals.

So just because some of your fave hip hop artists are white, you think that everyone should just forget the musical history of entire genre, because it has no value for you? How cute. No one is saying that people of all cultures can't create and enjoy hip hop, but to deny the cultural movement and black…

Wait. What? So you are saying the medium by which the music was/is distributed trumps the very content itself? So, the 808 or Technics, on their own, would be what they are today without the beats, artists and dj's who revolutionized their use and created the craft? Sorry, but a turntable without a Mix Master…

I'm just the opposite, everyone else is far more compelling to me that T Swift. Heck, I think Emma Watson or J-Law would be better picks. And I find J-Law grating. That said, I wonder about Malala Yousafzai being left off, could it be that she was previously a runner up? http://poy.time.com/2012/12/19/run…
