Eh, I think it's as sensationally exploitative to reach for the Bartmann comparison. I mean seriously, the first [black] lady in the white house, to the hottentot venus? Is an iphone like hieroglyphics on a wall? I guess, but ...

I'd be interested to hear what Stephen A Smith thinks about this ...

I don't know about this ruling on hip hop skills.

you might as well break this story graf by graf and make posts for each one:

That was great. Kudos, Rick. I like the middle of the movie with the sex and talking horses the best.

oooh, this edition of Missdemeanors was top choice. I'm biased from all the racial goodness, but still. A for Amelia on this stuff.

From the same journal:

Um, as per the comments on the feministing post it looks like the original article is really a joke. And the BBC is making the mistake of reporting it as a real news.

@lisas: well I guess the real point was to find some way to use "Lebron James of labias" and "I got my 40 Acres and A Girl I made cum last night" ......but i think there's a kernel of truth in there somewhere .....

My guess: Minority men — especially of the traditionally, publically marginalized variety, i.e. blacks and hispanics — have more to prove in terms of being an old-school american man. Video-ho and general objectification is balanced by extreme chivalrous, Brooks Brothers-gentleman behavior in non-thong, ass-poppin'…

I love it.

Randy's baggage seems more comparable to Dillon's than Terrell Owens. Moss and Dillon were on mediocre and/or bad teams and subsequently seemed to contribute to the problem as opposed to helping. What happened in Philly is TO's major indictment. Both Moss and Dillon at least learned to shut up and put their head down…

Cardinals won when they needed to, and Pujols & Carpenter should get you pretty far in the NL, but they're definitely looking pretty thin overall. And I still can't believe Looper is a SP now

I don't want to take too much credit, but I did preview VCU, so it's kind of like, duh, of course they won. I've got trivia tidbits to take me all the way to the championship.
