This further convinces me that she and her psychopathic husband threatened and harassed Jessica Hough, the woman he r*ped in ‘94. Onika Maraj felt bold enough to PUBLICLY dox a female journalist in T&T for doing her job. No one can convince me that she and Kenneth Petty have been anything besides evil to Ms. Hough…

Thank you for consistently saying this. It’s deeply disturbing that the main people calling this out for what it so clearly is are the non-journalists amongst us. I’ve got to branch out more, but thus far Jezebel of all places is where there’s an article today that explicitly states the obvious. On top of she and her…

*diabolical

Precisely. This is the first (and only) article I’ve read online thus far that makes this point about the OBVIOUS, manipulative distraction from criminal, diabolic actions. It’s been disheartening to see journalists fall for it- excitedly proffering salacious details with nary a word about the devastating allegations…

I’m not from the twin island republic, but I’m clear that she’s not exactly an ambassador. Where has she celebrated y’all? Where are the soca hits and collaborations? Not to mention, her worthless husband’s disrespect of IWER GEORGE during carnival last year. This Black woman from Ghana, raised in Philly knows what is…

THIS. Initially, though disgusted by her bullying behavior years ago, told myself she was acting out her trauma. How else could she justify her brother’s r___g, then shaming his 12 yr old stepdaughter? Horrific betrayals and violations all around. Still, there are many who’ve been abused in various ways who live with…

Good point on the cosmetic procedures.

She deserves to be sued for this and made to produce the fictitious cousin who “told her”. Instead of helping those affected in T&T or places here in the U.S., she spewed this mess to tens of millions of her stans. Like others have stated, she muddies the waters any time there’s news of criminality or unethical…

There are many words and expressions borrowed and stolen from African-Americans/Black Americans in U.S. English. There’s also a difference between English and Ebonics which was created out of disparate linguistic groups seeking to communicate in the trauma and evil of enslavement. Patois, Pidgin, Krio and Kreyol are…

This. Last year this time we were mourning Chadwick Boseman. Between the murdered whose stories made the news, personal deaths and other losses, the wicked seeming to thrive, and the continued uncertainty, I’ve been in quite an existential/spiritual crisis. Yesterday, like a child, I kept clicking on imdb because…

Sincere, vulnerable, kind, open, generous, talented, sensitive, humble. This was evident in every interview I’ve seen. Committed to being a catalyst for bettering the lives of our youth and portraying various Africana/Black men with empathy and humanity. Proud Brooklyn boy, son of South Carolina and The Bahamas, child…

I didn’t know where else to put this comment. Someone please report the heartbreaking news about Michael K. Williams. I’m so gutted and I know others will want to know so they can also mourn the loss of this actor and man who generously shared his sensitivity, growth, talent and vulnerability with us. 

Oh, I concur. Smh.

Sincere condolences of the death of your beloved. I watched Tom Bilyeu’s interview of writer Chuck Palahniuk’s where he discussed doing hospice work. He removed Playboy, sex toys, etc. from people’s apartments before the next of kin, esp. parents arrived; it was a request from the patients. He went on to say that…

I’m in the greys but it’s important to note that this article left out that the material in question was said to have “cover art” indicative of child abuse and bestiality. That places his father’s comment about discarding it “for his good” in a context different from that of a prude.

There’s a very disturbing and sinister aspect of the porn not mentioned in the article. His parents’ attorney Anne VanderBroek: “From first appearance, without actually viewing or reviewing the content of the material, the ‘cover art’ appears to depict highly obscene and likely criminal material, including matters of…

Admittedly I haven’t yet listened to it. I just read the lyrics. I don’t think it’s a call to arms to put on weight. It’s delightfully subversive. It addresses those  “spending all your time tryna bring a woman down”. Body goals shouldn’t be a thing in our society, but they are and in a limited, gendered way. I don’t…

I definitely live in a city where strangers feel comfortable making loud, rude comments within the hearing of intended targets. Definitely glad you stopped consuming the half-gallon of ice cream-regardless of your size. Some folks would’ve thought it was cute/funny if you were skinny and ate like that but disgusting…

I’m for people being healthy and think its in a greater variety of sizes than we’ve been told.

Obviously an adult who is either 60lbs or 960lbs is unhealthy. My point is we’ve been conditioned to lash out at fat people for being unhealthy in ways we don’t do to others. There are some issues that come with being way under or above a healthy threshold; I’d say as with many ailments there’s often a psychological…
