When Being Educated, Rich, and Privileged Doesn't Stop You From Being Black
I often joke with people that I didn’t know I was poor until I got to college.

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Ep. 9 Recap
Another day, another hour of my time Mona Scott-Young has taken from me that I can’t get back. The fact that I willingly hand it over is beside the point. This past Monday’s shenanigans involved the whole cast and crew and dare I say that there was a bit of common sense involved? I dared…

So I have one of those jobs that requires me to do one of those things where every-so-often, I have to query my family for random facts about things I thought I knew but have no earthly idea about. For instance, I have no idea when my mother re-married her current husband (my step-father). I…

T-Pain Outchea Singin' Without Auto-Tune And Sounding Good!
Who knew T-Pain could actually sing? I’m sure of you did. But some of us didn’t. Either way, I already enjoying people singing ignorant things, but there’s a special enjoyment given that this is T-Pain, a man for whom the industry that now THRIVES on auto-tune seems to have left him behind.

Fireball Whiskey Has Some Stuff In It That They Use To Make Anti-Freeze. So?
I read a story yesterday that Fireball Whiskey is being recalled in Europe. Why? Here’s why: Late last week, the whiskey’s European bottler informed the makers of Fireball that they were out of compliance with European regulations. The Fireballers prepare two versions: a recipe for Canada and the United States containing the chemical, propylene glycol, and a…
