Don’t tell me the union forgot about MOVE. Nineteen eighty-five wasn’t that long ago.

And the daggone Frappe machine, too. 

I respectfully disagree. One can have a fragile ego and still understand that they need to focus on the matter at hand, and for Biden, that was to get elected and choose a running mate who could make that happen. Having a fragile ego doesn’t mean that it’s at the forefront all the time. It can make its appearance and…

I know that’s right!

I believe it’s just no longer worth it to Mayor Bottoms and her family for her to continue in that role. I mean, having to be accountable to Kemp is bad enough, but perhaps not being able to accomplish what she wants as Mayor may have been the proverbial straw. She’s young enough and savvy enough to chart another…

Sanders has made it clear that she doesn’t want the job when Psaki leaves because she said she’s happy where she is on VP Harris’ team. Also, Biden does kind of have a fragile ego because he was so incredulous that Harris had the nerve to come for him like she did during the campaign. Still, he put said ego aside and…

I’ve had locs since 2015 and they’re blessedly healthy, thick, and strong. I’d wanted locs for many years but worried about the professional impact. I previously worked in the nonprofit sector in fundraising and now I’m a counselor. Prior to that, I was chemical-free but still getting flat-ironed to within an inch of…

It depends on how clean an individual really is after they bathe. I was taught to use my towel at least twice because I grew up in a house with 3 older siblings and a divorced mom who worked and went to school. We blot dried our bodies, as in pat-pat-pat instead of sopping up every drop of water. Nobody wanted to do la…

Sink bath = Hoe dip

There’s a Black cowboy subculture in Atlanta that I only learned about a few years ago. My sister met this guy at a gas station who’d pulled up with his horse trailer and he asked her if she liked horses and wanted to learn to ride. He became a good family friend and my sister and I took care of his horse for a few…

I hear you. Respect. However, you can be materially poor and common sense wealthy. Something in the milk is not clean. Ms. Rice and Ms. Simpson could have issued a grammatically correct statement, sans the name calling, but the subject remains the same. Not everything said or written is going to be palatable to…

“I had seen things on CNN about the deaths of Eric Garner or Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin, and I would think, ‘Oh, that’s awful!’ … Then I look up, and I see me. And I have no words for that feeling.”

I’m not convinced. There’s a financial reason why she’s doing this.

I would have loved a brief, shining moment of Black woman realness with Lisa wearing a bonnet to bed even though they had silk sheets. Akeem would be like, Darling, release your lovely hair so I may stroke it, and Lisa would pull a lock from the back and tell him to tuck it back in her bonnet when he’s done. She’s a…

I think showing breeds such as German Shepherds, American Staffordshires and other pit bull types, Dobermans, and Rottweilers as everyday pets would go a long way to help repair their underserved image as being aggressive, violent, and to be feared, as well as to help eliminate breed-specific legislation and bans that…

It is the look of “I want to sit on that hard-working, God-fearing, jacked-forearmed, American man’s face.” Cleo quickly notices the look, and returns it, with a look that says “My face is your seat, my queen.”

My family has always had dogs. We are dog people and treat our dogs like they’re members of our family. When they pass on, we mourn and we get another dog that hopefully won’t remind us of our dearly departed furbaby. Sometimes, they sleep with us but they always have their own beds and pillows. The only way in which…

I peeped that. Yes, ma’am, I did.

Looks suspiciously like a Prince album cover.

Her mom (?) was like, Jessica? No, too common but I like the ‘essica’ part. Hmmm, Bessica, Cessica, Dessica...Ressica, Sessica, Tessica—bingo! That’s it! Tessica has just the right ring to it!
