Want to know the best way to respond to racism on the Internet, or to racism in general? Take a lesson from Stephen Colbert – laugh. He had a good time with the Twitter backlash that followed the crowning of new Miss America Nina Davuluri, who is of Indian decent.…

Hate the star or love him, @chrisbrown’s Love More song and video are pop culture perfect. Twitter mentions, all the latest movies, cheap product placements, @NICKIMINAJ is beautiful and absolutely vulgar, we even get a lil’ irreverent slamming of a racially motivated bent. It’s young and edgy, rude and silly…

Continue reading →: Leave #BlackHair Alone #diversity
I am so tired of white people getting on Black people about our hair. I am truly, undeniably sick of it. It’s rude, it’s boring, and frankly, it’s ridiculous. Black hair is different. It requires different care, and because of its texture, it is suitable for different, and perhaps unfamiliar,…

Justin’s gon’ let you know, EVERYBODY loves him. Even shorties who see him on the street are compelled to break out and dance. LOL One of my buddies pointed out that the club and street scenes are a little…light, but I said, hey. The fact that he’s got a bunch…

When the Trayvon verdict came down a week ago, my first thought was, I need to write about this. It’s news. I should be tendering an opinion. I am a member of the media, after all. But somehow I couldn’t. I couldn’t summon one ounce of passion over the verdict.…
