Fela and James Brown played Congo for Rumble in the Jungle and a host of people will swear that Fela’s 2 weeks in LA the year before and this concert brought about the change in sound you hear for records like Yellow Fever and Expensive Shit and that Bootsy was inspired for the Payback by Fela.

Actually, it’s not as much as we’re getting old as it is the fact that LeBron came to dominate a league that was faster and healthier, but still with less killer instinct and rough play than Jordan’s league. LeBron dominates a physically weaker league and, therefore, he can never be considered GOAT before Jordan.

TO problem was that on every team he played after Jerry Rice, he was a Superman among supermen. Superman has to be the most humble motherfucker on the planet to not be enraged on a continual basis because dealing with lowly humans is frustrating.

Beautiful analysis of the ego wearing the skin that looks like T.O.

You are a blessing, my son. A blessing indeed.

Florida doesn’t have a “hate crime” statute, per se. Florida increases the penalty for any crime if the commission of such crime evidences prejudice due to immutable characteristics (such as race, color, ancestry, ethnicity, national origin, age or residential status (homelessness). You don’t need evidence of prior…

A star for putting her in the same spa as the missing Scientology queen bee.

Florida is sort of like the appendix of the country—all the detritus from the other contiguous 48 states seems to drift down here and fester.

They couldn’t be investigating a better guy! Let’s see if his theory that White people “aren’t as bad as we think they are” holds true.

My hip-hop rabbit hole take me to the early days of electro funk and Florida booty bass.

Are you talking about the scenario where you and your friend are speaking together in your first language and all of the sudden there is a white person (or Black—sometimes Black people also get up in arms about the whole English first thing as if it was the first language Africans spoke when they were unloaded from a…

Yes, HuskyBro, yes they did party. And the 179 year afterparty truly sucked for African Americans.  

She thinks it’s her responsibility to make sure these random Black people follow the “rules” like Walter Sobchak did to Smokey. Luckily she didn’t have a firearm, or the story might be about someone getting killed.

Just stop.

I wish I could figure out how to paste a GIF of slowly clapping hands along with the above-the-head hand wave and closed-eye slow head nod of “Mmm, mmm, mmm, that’s MY song!!!” here.

Been to plenty WH’s for the late night smashed and smattered. Been there with many drunken fools. But most Waffle Houses or other 24-hr diners are usually cop magnets so having madness such as a fight or a shooting pop off there is unusual.

I was a nerd in school before nerds became cool. Before the term geek even became popular. Lived with family, not mom and dad; perpetually broke; got no play. Being a smart Black kid from a teacher’s family in the small town South meant you were the only Black kid in nearly every “gifted” or “advanced” class you were…

So in North Kakalaka, it’s against the law to argue with Waffle House employees??!!? I wasn’t aware North Kakalakians took their overnight Waffle House employees so seriously. Plus, I’m still trying to figure out why they have a panic button at Waffle House. I hope that phrase is a joke, buuuuut—if the restaurant or…

Black people are Black—they can’t “being” something else. A Black doctor just doctors; she doesn’t doctor while Black because to say so is redundant to the point of being mentally retarded.

Well, to truly love Black people, you must first be able to truly love yourself. If you are a Black person who loves yourself, is self-aware, and isn’t manifesting some repressed psychological harm and are attracted to a non-Black person, that does not mean you don’t love Black people. If you are a Black person who…
