Cosmopolitan Was Right: The Kardashians Are The "First Family" America Deserves
“Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now.” Of course, this is the iconic line from Commissioner Gordon at the end of The Dark Knight, as the Batman raced away on the Bat Bike, running from the police and also probably trying to catch the Wendy’s drive-thru before it…

What Rihanna Really Meant When She Called Rachel Dolezal A "Hero"
Post-racial turducken Rachel Dolezal is back in the news today. But not, surprisingly, for buying a pair of wings and some feathers from a Halloween store, going to a Spokane zoo, and trying to convince everyone she’s an ostrich. No, this time it’s because Rihanna offered her thoughts on Dolezal in a Vanity Fair profile. And when…

Why The Kayak-Eating Bear Is The Blackest Thing I've Ever Seen This Week
By now, I’m sure many of you have seen the footage of a bear in Alaska using a woman’s kayak to floss his teeth, ignoring the woman’s hysterical pleas to leave the kayak alone.

Dear Howard Homecoming Weekend: I Hate You
It’s Howard University Homecoming this weekend, right? I think so. You’re not sure? No. I didn’t go to Howard and I don’t live in D.C., so I don’t have the Howard Homecoming dates tattooed on my chest. But you do think it’s happening this weekend. Why?

A Recurring Dream About Lupita Nyong'o And I Standing In Line At An Omelet Station
It’s a Spring Sunday. April, perhaps. Mild enough for White people to wear sandals and yacht shorts and chilly enough to Black people for Black people to talk about White people for wearing sandals and yacht shorts. It’s 61 degrees.

We Do Not Need to Be ‘Saved’ From Empire (or Scandal or HTGAWM or … )
You know those supercool media people who get sent advance copies of entire seasons of certain shows, while everyone else has to watch week-to-week to find out what happens?
