Becoming?

Oh, I can offer counseling, no problem. It just won't be rooted in any recent IRL experience, that's all. Besides...you do know that Richard Sherman is one of my Fake BFs, so that link was a wise move...

Girl, the Cray Train has definitely disembarked in my hood, so I hear you. Taking a sabbatical from the pipeline myself. Fantasy BFs are going to have to do for now, but there are so many, and they are so pretty...

"Lovin' you...is easy cause you're beautiful..."

And every woman has them!

WHERE IS SHERLOCK HEMLOCK?????

Oh, I am quite confident about it. Watch the episode of The View with Vanessa Williams where The Blind Side was discussed and Williams shared her discomfort with the film and the problems many in the black community had with its white savior story. Witness Barbara practically spitting in her attempt to defend the…

How in hell am I actually respecting Sherri Shepherd? This I never thought would happen. Barbara Walters just reaffirms the contempt I already have felt for her for many years.

Coming from you = EVERYTHING.

She was nominated for the Golden Globe, SAG and now Oscar for August: Osage County. I am NOT about her all cheesin' on Idris' lap and drawing attention away from him, but she does have a legit reason to be there.

The interesting thing is that many slave-holder descendants DO feel a moral obligation. Books like Slaves in the Family and Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North explore this very issue, especially among those for whom this is not a theoretical exercise or an amorphous "Oh, I'm sure everyone white…

Ok, Kinja is clearly insane.

He and his family did not just indirectly benefit from white supremacy and white privilege. They amassed great wealth, material and tangible, directly from the slave trade, wealth that endures to this day and that Benedict has acknowledged that he benefits from. His mother urged him to change his name as his father…

No, I wasn't implying that, although punk is much more than willful obliviousness and IDGAF attitude. I addressed your suggestion that Billy Idol was simply a pop singer with a punk attitude, which is incorrect. He retained a punk aesthetic throughout his transition to a more accessible sound, but his roots were in…

They've had reprints and old library editions for sale on Amazon, and if you live in a state that has the glorious Half Price Books (how I miss you since I moved to NYC), check their nostalgia section. I found a lovely Green, Lavender and Olive (my absolute favorite) at a Half Price Books in Dallas in wonderful…

You do realize Billy Idol was in the band Generation X before he started rebel yelling and dancing with himself, right? Generation X, the band formed in 1976 and known as the first punk band to perform on the BBC's Top of the Pops? Billy Idol became a pop star, but he came by his punk attitude and image honestly, by…

Or she could actually try to learn something, develop, evolve, and realize there is a world outside of her little bubble of sycophants who have no incentive to tell her the truth. An ability to tune things out is not the same thing as actually understanding criticisms that are made of you and being able to discern…

I might be able to buy that as simply an aesthetic difference that he couldn't connect with if he hadn't said similar comments in other interviews, plus making sure everyone knew he was into hockey, martial arts, riding motorcycles and driving a truck, taking care to contrast that with other male skaters, and doing…
