Aisha Harris Is A Writing Ass Chick We Love
I don’t know exactly how long I’ve been a fan of Aisha Harris. (Three years, maybe?) But I do know that the 27-year-old staff writer at Slate has been a personal favorite long enough for me to confidently state that she is the shit. (Also, I can confidently state that she is not Aisha Tyler.) With…

James Blake Slammed And Arrested For…Smiling While Black? Being Lightskinned While Black?
After hearing the news about James Blake — the retired tennis star who was tackled, cuffed, arrested, and detained by five police officers as he waited for a car to take him to the U.S. Open — three things immediately came to mind: 1. James Blake is a Harvard grad, a former superstar athlete, and…

Types Of Pork, Ranked
Every Labor Day weekend in Pittsburgh, a rib festival (aptly named “The Rib Fest”) takes place outside of Heinz Field. Dozens of award-winning swine-selling companies set up storefronts and sell their best ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, sausages, briskets, and heart disease. Naturally, as a pork coisennessuor, I spent a decent amount of time there this…

There's A Rapper Named "Slim Jesus" And He's A White Chief Keef And I Have SO MANY QUESTIONS
1. I’ve had a lot of fun recently writing those “leaked” emails. One because it allows me to be a gotdamn fool. And I appreciate and revel in opportunities to be a gotdamn fool. But also because there’s always a few people not quite sure if they’re real or not. Which boggles my mind because they’re…

10 Things You Need To Know About The Black Barbershop
1. Breaking up with a barber is the most traumatic break-up a Black man will ever experience. One, because barber relationships usually last much longer than the half-assed, Tinder-generated exchange of Netflix passwords and seminal fluids you people call “relationships.” But also because the usual break-up excuses — “It’s not you, it’s me” and “I’m…

When Will They Stop Making These Boring-Ass Black People Who Obviously Hate Black People?
There is literally nothing — not The Strain, not Dwight Howard playing basketball — more boring, more tedious, and more cliche than the Black person who spends much of their internet time talking shit about “Black people” collectively in a way that lets you know they either don’t actually know very many actual Black people or just…

Things Your Bitch Ass Better Not Do At A Labor Day Cookout
Labor Day is almost here. Which means the summer is officially over. Which sucks. Because it felt like we had three weeks of summer this year. Like, you remember how it took Meek Mill an entire month to write and release a wack diss track for Drake? That’s how long summer felt. The span of…

Roger Goodell Is A Turducken Of Shitty
In one of the emails in Deadspin’s Funbag this week, someone brought up a wacky teacher who’d give students 95s on multiple choice tests if they got every answer wrong. Get one or two right, though, and you’d get your real grade. Obviously, the implied rationale is that if you’re able to intentionally get every answer wrong, you…

10 Surefire Ways To Catch The Black Man Of Your Dreams
As many of you know, VSB started off as a place where Panama and I volunteered our tongue-in-cheek observations about dating, relationships, and sex. Our content has evolved since then, but I still occasionally get asked by people (and by “people” I mean “women at game nights”) to provide some dating and relationship-related insight, and most of it…

Exclusive: A Leaked Email Exchange Between Kanye West And President Obama
A few weeks ago, our sources were somehow able to find an email conversation between Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill. And then, a couple weeks later, one between Meek Mill and Drake. And then, those same sources found another email conversation, but between Drake and Serena Williams. We have great sources. Our sources are the shit. They outdid…
