This story reminds me of an encounter I had a few months ago at work. One of my coworkers at the time was Dominican and he and I would speak spanish periodically. I spoke basic conversational (how are you, what are you doing, etc.) spanish so it was just practice. One day my white female supervisor slipped in a…

@Panama Jackson, Thanks for the info about Mahogany Books. There’s also Sankofa Bookstore and Café on Georgia Ave by Howard U that every now and then has a black book fair. My wife and I went there a couple weeks ago to get some children’s books. Definitely looking forward to this series. It’s hard to find brothers…

Don’t forget, that if he actually IS convicted, he would have to register as a sex offender and would not be allowed near schools and such, which would also help stave off his access to potential victims.

This is a really dangerous thing to be naïve about.

@VIN

Bobby Brown a legend? I hear you but I’m not convinced. I mean Babyface (who is unquestionably a legend) practically wrote Bobby’s entire catalog of music (anything worth listening to IMHO). When I think legend status, I think of timeless acts like Stevie Wonder whose music has spanned decades and you never really get…

“Certain people” have a hard time coming to terms with losing to someone that they have been raised to believe are beneath them in every way. And to add insult to injury, they are losing in the very system that they have created for themselves to ensure that they stay on top. This is why I had quite a bit of respect…

We’ve got another one: Practicing Medicine while black.

I try to support black showrunners, writers, directors, actors etc, and definitely have seen my share of TP productions. My biggest gripe with his work just what others have already mentioned, the basic, one-dimensional characters and formulaic stories. I understand it in the beginning as you are typically just…

On a side note, I want to take one of these ancestry type tests to see what they have to say, but I just feel kinda raw paying somebody to tell me some information that was stolen from me centuries ago.  I think black people should get our results for free since, you know, slavery and all.

+1 for Winston Duke.

So basically its BBD plus Bobby which makes it BBBD or 3BD. There’s your new group name. You’re Welcome!!

Ok, I support your right to spew your racist vomit into the world via your social media posts, but don’t look at us all sideways when when we call it what it is. You can’t keep tweetin quacks and then try and convince us you’re not a duck.

Ok, so who do we gotta send to the White House to convince him to get the police to stop killin unarmed black men? I mean he IS the head of the Executive Branch so he’s technically their boss right? Oh my bad, those are “local law enforcement matters.”

Respectfully, I have to disagree. I think Serena is definitely intimidated by Sharapova and her abysmal number of championships. I mean you would be intimidated too if you were at the top of your respective sport and had to play against someone who had more controversies than victories like Maria right? Just like how…

“Black folks know how to act in front of company, and white people have no shame.” <— THIS!!!

I heard the story about the Yelp review from hell but had no idea that was Yesha until I read it just now. But seriously, who the hell still gives a shit what Wendy Williams has to say? I honestly believe her, Stacy Dash and Omarosa are the same coon in a different costume.

Young adults/teens/pre-teens place a high value on fitting in and being liked and accepted so the rejection is multi-faceted. Not only may these nerds (male and female) have been rejected by potential love interests, but by friend groups who may not want to lower their social status by associating with “nerds.” I was…
