Black Twitter Flooded By Thirsty Women Springing Leaks For Black Plumbers (See What I Did There?)
Look. If you’re a man who gets upset by women paying attention to physically attractive men, or a woman who gets upset when men make jokes about your attraction to physically attractive men, leave VSB, go to your home or office supply room, find some Drano, and drink it. If you’re not upset by any…

Men Just Don't Trust Women. And This Is A Problem
It took five months of marriage, eight months of being engaged, and another year of whatever the hell we were doing before we got engaged for me to learn something about my wife. Actually, that’s misleading. I’ve learned many things about my wife in that time period. I learned that she owns both a snuggie and…

Why The Georgetown Hoyas Need To Be Your Favorite College Basketball Team
Although they won’t get as much publicity as Lebron, Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the professional athletes and celebrities donning “I Can’t Breathe” shirts, what the Hoyas did before Wednesday night’s game against Kansas was arguably more impressive.

Because for all of the blatantly violent, sexist, and misogynistic music that has flooded our airwaves in the past half-decade, “Marvin’s Room” is easily the most lecherous.

Between the reactions to the Garner/Brown cases, Cosby, Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Igloo Australia, and street harassment, the last few months of news have been dominated by stories where race plays a crucial role in both the outcomes of it and the reactions to it. This has resulted in many different conversations about race, and many…

Eric Garner Choked To Death By Cop. In Broad Daylight. On Camera. Cop Gets Off. Fuck Everybody.
I don’t even know what to say now. Really, I don’t. Maybe I will later today or tomorrow. But now, I try to write and it feels like Groundhog Day. I could literally cut and paste everything I said the last two weeks about Michael Brown and just substitute Garner’s name for Brown’s, Staten Island for…

An Argument For Not Blocking Your Ridiculously Stupid And/Or Racist Facebook Friends
The last two weeks of November produced a vortex of news stories (Ferguson, Cosby, Ray Rice) everyone seems to have an opinion on. And, when everyone seems to have an opinion on something, that “everyone” includes “stupid and/or insensitive and/or racist motherfuckers.” Nowhere was this more evident than it was on Facebook, as these weeks…
