Men and Women Can Be Their Own Worst Enemy With Each Other

IT NEVER FAILS: You have members of both sexes that complain about things they bring on themselves.  Now, as a fellow HUMAN BEING, none of us are immune to making mistakes and having to pick up the pieces - but LEARNING FROM THEM is a virtue that many people need to practice. FOR THE WOMEN: You will hear her talk about how all men want to smash and pass through her life when all he...

Jada Tells Arsenio She's Glad She Didn't Connect With Will On The 1st Opportunity

Jada and her prominent cheek bones were on Arsenio Hall last week and talked much about her connection with TuPac and how they had more of a father-daughter dynamic because of how protective he was with her, but one of the things I found extremely interesting was her talk about how she had an opportunity to work with her hubby Will long before they linked up as grown adults. Initially, she tried...

Strippers: Wifeable or Nah?

I know some people looked at that title like..."what the hell Mo?"  ((chuckles)) Alright so me being in the midst of my Instagram browsing, I stumbled across a promoter I follow that works at a few clubs in the DC area (mind you, I don't know this person beyond Instagram) and he happened to take a picture with a very beautiful woman who I believe was a guest at one of his parties. When I...

Outrage About Lupita Nyong'o Win At the Oscars

I happened to peep a few status updates online about the fact that some felt the only roles Blacks are ever allowed to receive Oscars for are plots where someone is being degraded (i.e. - Lupita (Patsey) and Master/Slave sex relations in "12 Years A Slave" or Halle Berry getting banged in "Monster's Ball"), or playing a stereotypical character such as Denzel Washington in Training Day as a crooked...

Sidney Portier At The Oscars: What All Go-Getters Should Learn From Him

One of the biggest things that I remember learning about Sidney Portier was the fact that despite the circumstances for black people in society period (let alone in the entertainment field), Mr. Portier is a man who set a STANDARD for himself and for his identity as an actor. He turned down a role as Othello in 1966 because of his refusal to reinforce negative stereotypes about Blacks.  He...

Lupita Nyong'o from "12 Years A Slave" WINS!!!

This beautiful Kenyan actress who is originally from Mexico won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role as "Patsey" in the movie, "12 Years a Slave". On top of the fact that I was blown away that she is MY AGE (31) earning this level of accolades, the fact that she was trained at Yale University and is not only in a top rank of acting at this point, but she's quickly becoming...

Chris Brown Is BiPolar: Is This A Common Overlooked Issue?

Chris Brown is said to be diagnosed with Bipolar II and an untreated case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder which has been the cause for his reoccurring anger issues - this information came out in the ongoing Rihanna beating case. One thing that concerns me is the fact that many of us in the Black community do not acknowledge that sometimes, we are just not okay (mentally).  Many people will...

So Apparently The Game Is Added To The "Kooch Fax" for Kim K.

How does this work exactly?  Normally when someone finds out his girl tag teamed the entire league, they don't usually have tabloid reports of becoming engaged with them around Valentine's Day.  I'm still not convinced the ring Kimmy showed off after V-Day signified anything in terms of matrimony. But The Game allegedly has lyrics on an early demo of Ray J's infamous "I Hit it First"...

Everybody Wants To Be Mixed...

Ahhhh...the struggle of this bullshit. I was eavesdropping on my dad and mom's conversation and almost broke out in pure laughter because he said something that really made me feel like he's not quite in touch with today's society and the things that are happening in 2014. He said that there are so many "pro-black" folk that always talk about "I'm black this...I'm black that" and don't even...

When Your Other Half Has The Family From Hell

I know a whole lot of somebodies who have either gone through this tragedy or who must face this harsh reality on a daily basis. Now, the more committed you are in a relationship, the more you become attached to all the details that come with the person you're with.  And part of that attachment involves the ones that mean the most to the person you're with. BUT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO WHEN...
