I truly believe the best thing to do in unfortunate situations like this (and in Tyrese’s case) is to be publicly silent. The human need to be understood and liked often makes people say/do way too much and they end up making things worse for themselves. The more you stir the shit, the more it stinks. I don’t know…

It was. Workplace potluck.

And black or green olives, sans the paprika sprinkle on top. They know not what they do.

Congressman Green attended FAMU, Tuskegee, and Howard before graduating from Texas Southern. AND, he’s an Alpha.

First things first.

Been to three: Alabama State, Coppin State, and currently Fort Valley State. And my Ancestry DNA results tell me I’m 90 percent African. Damn right.

It was a long-ass, supremely gratuitous music video with one-of-a-kind musicians who couldn’t act worth a damn.

One of the great things about the 80s is that, like any other questionable period, we can always say that such-and-such was fly at the time. Like Jheri curls, acid wash, and Al B Sure!

No attack here, but understand your audience before you comment. Your response is why having any type of meaningful dialogue with white women about issues that affect ALL women is frustrating and useless. You’re so busy being in your feelings about how white women feel oppressed that your comment—

The two things I recall from Greg Kinnear’s stint on “Talk Soup” were him describing a woman as having a ‘6-foot mondo hair weave’ and his facial expressions. I was like, That guy’s gonna be a star!

Nvm. I looked up the term, as I’d never heard of it. And I disagree with you. I’m a Black woman using gifs that feature Black people expressing their genuine reactions/emotions/words that closely mirror my own. None of the gifs I use are indicative of the gestures (e.g. head swiveling, neck rolling, eye bugging, etc.)…

Well, you know there are multiple sides to every story. Besides, BC’s cakes are fake, too, but she at least has a better thigh:ass and therefore doesn’t look as odd as Kim and Khloe. These are grown people who are wholly invested in their respective acts of fuckery, so let the chips fall where they may. The only thing…

Really? What do you see as blackface?

“Honey, de white man is de ruler of everything as fur as Ah been able tuh find out. Maybe it’s some place way off in de ocean where de black man is in power, but we don’t know nothin’ but what we see. So de white man throw down de load and tell de nigger man tuh pick it up. He pick it up because he have to, but he…

I agree that AB is a mess. We could discuss her erratic behavior all day long, but that wouldn’t dismiss the obviousness of her being in desperate need of psychiatric help. I don’t make excuses for her outbursts; she has to own them and make amends. I want her to be able to heal.

Skin lightening is also huge in Jamaica, so I wouldn’t be surprised to learn of Nivea marketing over there. Some folks on the island openly admitted to spending their last on bleaching creams. It was hurtful to watch.

Nice choice. I like Nicole Beharie, Tiffany Haddish, Yaya DaCosta, Regina King, Samira Wiley, Anika Noni Rose, too many to name.

I believe I read somewhere that Halle Berry purchased the film rights. I don’t know the current status of the project. I’d love to see a lesser known actor succeed in such a meaty role.

May God bless his soul and comfort his family and friends. My entire family rooted for him so hard on PR.
