My mother was going to make scalloped potatoes this year instead of Mac and cheese. Word spread around the family and after arbitration it was decided that cheesy scalloped potatoes sounds good, only if mac an cheese sat beside it. My mom bless her, thought that was a great idea and is now making two giant trays of…

Exactly. Assuming it’s a comedy how can this work? How can it be honest without being an intense thriller with a downer ending?

For myself and other brothas who grew up in households without cable TV in the nineties, early morning programming consisted of Dragonball Z and Ronin Warriors before catching the bus to school. This was our only opportunity to watch action packed cartoons as Saturday mornings typically broadcasted broader cartoons.

I made my wife her engagement ring for about 400 dollars. A white gold band, with palladium as the metal mix, with a small, yet vibrant sapphire. I contacted a local metalsmith and asked him if he’d help with it and we spent not even a day making it. We made our bands as well. I figured the value would be strictly…

I am the second oldest of 8 boys, went to high school with three of them, I could not count on two hands how often I was called the nicest, or best, or coolest of my siblings by white folks because I smiled more, laughed at bullshit, and was more popular than my younger brothers. Every person who said that to me…

I found this so fascinating that I called my fire fighter younger brother to ask about this. He explained that he has experienced circumstances where he has taken over CPR because he saw someone applying to little pressure on the push. He also mentioned that the same goes for any injury in general, that the stereotype…

I will state what my Dietician wife says every time she gets a question on a new hip fad diet.

Same here, she first refused to let me grow one and then I convinced her to let me be a part of a family beard-off for charity. I lasted 4 months, she wouldn’t let me shave and 9 months after that our daughter was born - not a coincidence. It’s been 4 years, every time I think about it shaving, she threatens me. The…

She gets a pass due to singing me the entirety of “I like the way” by Hi-Five a couple a weeks ago in a crowded Mexican restaurant.

I was in my shower singing ‘Cry for You’ last night after my work out. My wife rushed into the restroom asking me what I was begging for and if I could wait until I was out of the shower to ask her for things.

He must be mentally ill and is not being treated. One of my brothers began behaving similar to this and nearly ruined his marriage and relationship with all of us with his frankly, scary behavior. A car accident led to him being held on a 5150 and medication. Literally 3 days after he began his intake he seemed…

My pop used tell my brothers and I that if you keep turning your cheek your enemy will keep you spinning forever. If you put his ass to the floor hard enough he won’t want to get up.

“I don’t favor violence. If we could bring about recognition and respect of our people by peaceful means, well and good. Everybody would like to reach his objectives peacefully. But I’m also a realist. The only people in this country who are asked to be nonviolent are black people.” Malcom X

Sacred is a weird word to use in regards to a women’s very existence. I love my wife I love my marriage but it’s no fantasy, it takes hard work and I value it because of the happiness it brings me. To call a woman sacred like they were some ancient artifact, that’s the fucking problem. A woman is a woman is a woman,…

I have seven and every fucking one of the savages did this. They all claimed they didn’t, so we started spying on each other to place the blame. They were all guilty, I wasn’t.

How about my militant, time to get mad negrish anthem:

No one has love for the Ruff Ryder Anthem (remix version of course):

I have had to call out friends for being assholes to women not giving them the reaction they wanted to comments. Two weeks ago, while out to dinner with a colleague, he tried to stiff the waitress on tips because she didn’t react to his moronic and offensive flirting. She shut him down marvelously, and it ‘ruined his…

Diet Rite in the ice chest...

Its potatoes and mayonnaise, literally the whitest thing you could eat. Why don’t people understand this?
