Shuri was definitely cool. I wish she got more screen time, because her technology is cool. I know a number of Black female STEM professionals, and just happen to be a Black male professional myself. Suffice to say that the doors of the church are now open for that. I hope to see a number of Wakanda Labs and…

Winston Duke probably made the most money out of any of the cast with his performance. He’s going to be that It Dude in Hollywood for a minute. Between his performance, and the number of women dying to throw panties at him, he’s has plenty of options.

I can dig it. Perhaps White people (or anyone who is a guest at a conversation where they have more social power than the participants) and learn to be quiet and speak when spoken to.

It seems like she wrote an article to reboot the whole light-skint points thing. Every benefit she’s mentioned is because of colorism. They’ve even written full books about how colorism means that light skinned Blacks get more opportunities, the end. What a mess of an article, and I’m sorry that you were associated…

Word. I have a mixed friend that you wouldn’t know is mixed until you saw his VERY Polish last name. He’s definitely deep in the brown skinned game.

You’re right, but we went WAAAAY over budget.

Yes. I went into $19,000 in debt, and my wedding was 100 people. Thankfully, my bride didn’t want her family to show up. But yeah, it was a major strain on the bills.

I understand the conundrum. Among my former in-laws is a pastor who has a side hustle working as a professor in the Ivy League. He’s married to a pediatrician. He has legit money (despite being a Patriots fan), but he’s never really flossed like that.

I listen lyrics first. I’m not saying you have to be Rakim on every track, but if you’re on some BS, I don’t care how good your production is. It’s what makes hip-hop what it is as opposed to poorly sung R&B. It’s interesting you mention Group Home’s Living Proof, because it’s an album I’ve always found overrated. The…

Word. There were a lot of “loyal Patriots fans” disguised as Giants fans in particular. New England, like most of the East Coast, is basketball and baseball country, with football as a fun diversion between seasons. Now, they’re dyed in the wool loyal? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

You’re wrong about Gronkowski. The next commentator that talks about how he’s smart will be the first. They seem to talk about his athleticism fine. What the difference is that his “goofy” “fun-loving” persona would be “unprofessional” “thug” behavior if he was a Black guy.

The latter. Definitely the latter. The former has a stake in sanitizing MLK. The latter shouldn’t be. I’m not saying that they have to be revolutionaries, but since you since you signed up for it, you gotta go all the way.

The answer to this is that Dexter King and MLK III are money grubbing idiots who never bothered to actually read their late dad’s writings. They’ll fight tooth and nail over tourists taking photos visiting their dad’s old house, but they’ll cosign this? And remember that these idiots almost sold their dad’s effects to…

1) In college, I had two professors that we called Captain Apartheid (because he was a White South African) and Doctor Redneck. I totally get the Dr. Wu Tang thing.

“Performative whiteness”

I was just glad that someone got a Black and Gold Baby Phat baby bag. That joint turned out to be so clutch. At least I could carry all that stuff, and most people thought it was a briefcase. But yeah, Beyonce with all her money couldn’t duck that duty. At least she didn’t have to make the supermarket run. *shrugs*

I’m a Knick fan. Fuck the Bulls on principle.

The Grammy’s definition of new artist has always been off. I understand that the Grammy cut-off for albums is in early November. I would understand the rationale, particularly in a pre-internet era where you’d have to distribute CDs, records and tapes by mail, but it has a knack of cutting off artists at the knees.…

“That was doubly interesting because jazz is such a small scene with little attention paid to it, so that was nice to see some musicality win out for once.”

Interesting elision. I specifically said sex. To wit:
