When Lady Gaga did the leotard thing, I was like... Okay, I guess...Beyonce did the whole Leotard thing all of this year, and part of last year, and she doesn't want to stop. Who joined the action? Why Britney Spears' unstable ass!I was watching Brandy's "Baby" video, and I remarked on how the clothes were hip (for the time) but they were covering her. Granted Brandy was younger, but for the most part, Brandy kept it cool, not tricking herself out. Her fashion was on point, her makeup was... Read Full Story

I was gone for so long because I didn’t have time for fitness. And as a result, my weight went up to where I started back in February. I am seriously disappointed with myself but I am picking it up. I’ve started working out again, started a good training plan and am eating right. Read Full Story

I have my issues with this young lady, but I still would never wish for her or anyone to be beaten by Chris Brown. It is telling that on some of the blogs I've visited, the black women on those blogs attack this girl for breathing wrong, because they "ride" for Chris Brown.Want to see how far we've sunk as a society and black collective? Check out the unwavering support for someone who would've been skulldragged just 30 years ago for this kind of abuse.Black women need to start caring abou... Read Full Story

This video elicited a strong emotion from me because I had lost all hope until the European lady--I want to say British--and her people took a stand. This is what we are talking about. We are not talking about staging rallies for civil rights or talking about slavery. We are talking about having empathy for another human being, regardless of color.I understand when people say they don't want to deal with confrontation, but this is someone's character and person being violated, and people s...

Allison Samuels over at Newsweek apparently has nothing else better to do with her time but wage war on Zahara Jolie Pitt's NATURAL hair, as glorious as it is.I thought long and hard before sitting down two weeks ago to write an article about the state of Zahara Jolie-Pitt's hair. I knew any discussion about hair and culture would spark an angry debate in the world of bloggers and beyond. Just ask Chris Rock. His new film, Good Hair, has brought him all kinds of criticism and drama, so at lea... Read Full Story

*deep, frustrated sigh*I've had up to here *pointing to hairline* with the blackface in modeling. Vogue France found itself in hot water for it earlier in the month, and here comes Tyra right behind them. It must have been a conspiracy of dimwits, I guess.At least the Vogue spread possibly conveyed some kind of message (to some) about race, especially on the tail of the "revelation" about Michelle Obama's white ancestry. With that said, Tyra Banks with her race fetish ass, just had to come wi... Read Full Story

It appears as though rape is all the rage this season... *end sarcasm*Where would teen boys (and maybe girls... I will not doubt that at least one female knew or watched and did nothing for the 19 year old, until told otherwise) learn that a gangbang rape is okay?No really. I want to hear your thoughts.

(Perez Hilton)I am of the opinion that families should do all in their power to locate a missing loved one. The more publicity, the better. I sincerely hope that the young lady pictured above is found healthy and alive, or as close to healthy as possible. I hope she is reunited with her family.With that said, WHERE IS MITRICE RICHARDSON?Sightings of Mitrice have been have been reported, so wouldn't more publicity be beneficial?She is just as important as the young lady pictured above, so w...

Bart wasn't all thuggish or shit like that he is a scary little boy. scared of loosing something. We let my cousin do wat she wanted all we could do was let her do her. Nobody ever would have thought it would come out as this result. Bart was a regular person with ... Read Full Story

The situation in Chicago, in my opinion, is akin to the rise of the Taliban/Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The writing was on the wall with little scenes of fuckery here and there, and because nothing was done, all hell broke loose. How much more violence is needed for something to happen in Chicago, to change the lives of these kids positively? Read Full Story
