I miss “Old Testament" Kanye ...

Those concluding graphs may have been the most accurate and fair descriptions I’ve ever read about Azealia Banks’s flaws and potential. Maybe one day she’ll take heed ...

Nice to see Rihanna win for Favorite Female Artist Soul/R&B ... I know she's had some killer guest spots the past year, but do y'all realize Anti dropped in January of 2016????!!!

Sooo, a black woman can’t get credit for actually starting the #MeToo movement but a black man can definitely get blamed as the catalyst for said white women starting the #MeToo movement ... yeah, that’s the America we all know.

Well done — that’s exactly the situation I was thinking of when I wrote that reply ...

As always, I’m just waiting to see if Taylor is REALLY down ... will she stay the course and stick with her (ahem, newfound) convictions when Trump and many of her non-progressive fans attack her for this, or fold? Will she even be able to take criticism from these non-straight, non-white people who she sees as equal…

Exactly! Um, isn’t prostitution and soliciting prostitution still illegal in New York? “Facing disciplinary charges," ... do they really think people are that stupid that they can just slide that by???

Damn, this may be the realest piece ever written on this site (which says a lot because everything written on here keeps it a buck). With stuff like Susan Collins’s actions yesterday and “the 53%,” so-called white women “feminists/allies” REALLY need to be all about action instead of talk at this point ... more Gloria…

I’m a big fan of yours, Mike, but actually Masta Ace never did anything with Slaughterhouse (the former group consisting of Royce da 5'9", Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden and Crooked I) — his second studio album was named SlaughtaHouse, though (dope ass album). But Ace really should understand that Born to Roll (the car…

Singer/writer of the original Strawberry Letter 23 before the more popular and admittedly better cover version by The Brothers Johnson.

Gotta say I disagree with this one. Glover was just a young, awkward yet brilliant character in the movie. Basically, I saw Glover as a true representative of how black folk have to do twice as much to get half the recognition. This was pretty much a 7-minute “Hidden Figures” type arc, IMO. Just my two cents — great…

It’s obvious what’s going on with the local media here in Atlanta, but no matter how much these powers-that-be have forced the non-coverage of these things, nothing is gonna stop the internet (where, despite all the crap, actual real journalism still takes place as well). I think they’re gonna be in for a rude…

Yep, that’s why we all need to keep an eye on this trial (though, I think we all know how this particular one will end; hell, there’s even an actual murder charge against THIS officer, unlike with Guyger): https://www.twincities.com/2018/09/06/red-flags-were-previously-raised-about-minneapolis-officer-who-shot-damond/

I’m glad you wrote this because it needed to be said. I decided to boycott the NFL this year and I’m just hoping players continue to protest, no matter how many or few. But more than anything, I hope players find MORE opportunities to protest during games.

I’m assuming that (sadly) this brother left his doors unlocked for something as crazy and awful as this shit to happen, but how fucking drunk/high/STUPID was this woman to not recognize that she wasn’t in her own home? I’m no lawyer but I can’t see how there can be any technicality or legal maneuver that can allow a…

“America is a white neighborhood" -- that was the realest shit ever written.

Though they’re different cases, there are (technically) similarities with this and the tragic shooting of Justine Damond in Minneapolis by the (Somali-American) cop. I’ve been following that case closely — no matter how it ends, it will expose a lot about this country and how it supposedly feels about police actions,…

Coming to grips with these cops getting away with these murders of unarmed civilians — whether by no trial or by the so-called juries seeing their actions as fitting the few times they actually make it to trial — is hard enough to deal with as black folk, but they just LOVE to rub our faces in it ... it takes a…

Wow, a white woman named “Tamisha” ... that’s a resume name for your ass right there. I’m sure she gets all kinds of looks whenever, or more likely IF ever, she gets called in for job interviews. I always joke with my wife that I bet we’ll never see a white woman named Tameka — still haven’t, but this is damn close.

Yeah, this type of stuff really is sad and painfully obvious. I applaud the family members for checking her on this (and anyone else who does it, regardless of race, political party, etc.). I recall the same “outrage” several months ago when that NFL player was killed by a drunk driver. It happened on a Sunday (Feb. 4)…
