I have two weddings two weeks apart. Thank goodness one of them is local. But one is a good friend and the other is the Boo Thang’s sister, so no way I’m not going. They’re a fun family, so it should be lit.

I used to hate those “Honeymoon Fund” websites, but now? Shoot, it’s easy. I don’t have to worry about getting the couple something they don’t want. So many of us are getting married older and we’ve already established households (or maybe 2), so we don’t need any extra stuff. If I see a honeymoon/home…
That word....[shudders].
Now that I know this happened in Adams Morgan, I know that Becky must have been whiting awfully hard to get the police involved. It sounds like she was on her drunk shit and feeling entitled (which she was anyway, but the liquor really brought it out). She sounds like an angry, asshole drunk and although the police…
What kills me though are the self-righteous comments from the Brits, about the “ugly Americans”. Not saying that some of our lot aren’t trash, but they forget that the UK is home to some disgusting hooligans. We don’t have whole entire riots at the footie, but they sure do.
It’s just tragic when kids do that flip from the good looking parent to....Charles.
Except, this situation has EVERYTHING to do with white privilege. Those cops treated that white girl with kid gloves...if that had been a black woman, she’d have been thrown to the ground, hit with the baton, tased and probably (most likely) shot if she’d done the same things that girl did. The fact that the girl…
I couldn’t hear the guy in the video that well, but in my mind the commentary was:
The police (if there were any justice, which...never) should fine these mayonnaise myopics when they call 911 for being uncomfortable while white, just like they do when your home security system goes off because of the dog or any other non-essential dispatch of police.
My brother is a heroin addict, but most of his friends that he gets high with are white. I think that the concern we see these days coming from the white community comes from the fact that they feel shame that their friends and family are the ones affected, and it’s gotten to the point where they can’t stay in denial…
I think Idris’ contract was up, and I don’t know if they’re going to make any more Thor movies, so he could go. I’m mad that there was no Valkyrie in the movie. Apparently Tessa Thompson approved the Marvel folks about having a Ladies of Marvel movie. Now that there’s Captain Marvel and Black Widow is supposed to get…
Black Panther is putting out a second set of the Funko Pop dolls...braided Erik Killmonger in the black robe and with the chest markings, M’Baku (I knew that they were going to make one for him after the movie came out) and Klaue.
Served with Karen’s bland-ass potato salad.
Whoo....I was listening to the Sexy Lady remix w/Raheem DeVaughn yesterday. I was in a gogo loop on YouTube...Chuck Brown, Rare Essence and Northeast Groovers all day!
Beige Rage...the new mixtape from Wale & DJ Envy.
I like the Big Sean = Tamia assessment. I’ve never understood how he became such a punchline. It seems like people are hating just to hate...or because he got Jhene Aiko.
That gives a whole new meaning to a “To Go” box. Put your uneaten chicken fingers, along with all the gifts and trinkets they ever gave you, in one handy container.
Yeah, hearing her talk about how influential he was to her music and that they were friends really makes me SMH about that. Or maybe he was too high to notice.
It’s on YouTube as well...that’s where I saw it.
So true. And this narrative that “Well, [insert white man’s name here] did it and he didn’t get convicted.” No one gets a pass because a white man got away with the same crime. It’s not any less illegal and the victims suffer just as much. Affirmative action is to deal with the inequities of life and giving justice to…
