And let me add... with black folks becoming better educated.. “struggle life” should be getting better. Yes, we know we are still at a disadvantage but I’ll be damned if I’m making light-skinned Kool Aid or just being happy about my daughter having lights... but yeah... you said it all!

I’m perfectly fine with the other community being broke. They can learn to feed themselves instead of relying off the cheap socialism of racism. Coronation Park anyone?

Rather than accept broke, or juxtapose broke with conspicuous consumption - Our community needs to start thinking wealth - by which I mean assets that produce enough so that we can take care of food, water, shelter, security of person (from both the cops and the robbers), security of property, healthcare.

“ Can we talk about Kelli out here living her best self with little support of her friends? I so applaud this! So many times, people aren’t moving forward with new things (dare I say uncomfortable things) because their homie ain’t riding. So, you don’t want to come to the jazz workout? Cool. Don’t want to jog with me…

Also that weird disconnect about Chad saying Tiffany was with Issa when she clearly wasn’t... That didn’t seem accidental.

ok I’ve got some thoughts and I need to talk to someone about them.

Well he kinda did fall back, didn’t he? It was Molly that initiated the hook-up, just to see what would happen, I think; whether she really could push herself into a “could.”

I know 5 couples who’ve gotten married from Tinder...I think the app is what you make of it.

Jason Whitlock learned a long time ago that the quickest, easiest way to prominence as a black writer in America was to endlessly shit on black athletes for the pleasure of white men who are insecure and jealous that they don’t have their ability.

You should know by now there are no allies in the VSB comment section.

I have

Damn. I was going to use “is this the new trend” when I wrote my letter for next week. Smh.

Todd ran track. I think. If not, isn’t he into that kind of foreplay?

I think she needs to then better express her issues... Because if I am reading the same letter you are reading, the money for her child is a mere half-sentence.

Hi! I’m a heterosexual cisgendered non-metrosexual male who collects child support. Ain’t shit behavior unfortunately knows no gender. Is Brandi getting dumped on? Yes. But that’s life.

So what though? Once they got divorced, how he lives beyond child support is not her problem. Worrying about the next person is messing up her life. I’d take the L and move on. There’s a reason she has custody and child support.

First, get my name out your mouth. I’ve never even seen you nekkid, mmmkay! We have never, EVER had sex.

“(or so I’ve heard—I’ve never walked away from good dick. Your dick was trash, Todd!)”

I sometimes wonder if people don’t ask that question to get past on the bead for being special. It’s incredibly pretentious and only continues to maintain a dominant/subordinate relationship between white and POC. People know what to do. They just want praise for it.
