Steve Harvey Was Asked if Men and Women Can Ever Be Platonic Friends. Survey Said ‘Aw Hell Naw’
The older I get, the more I seem to struggle with finding the answers to life’s most plaguing questions. You know, questions like: what’s my purpose in life? Why do bad things happen to good people? Is “Return of the Mack” really the greatest song ever? LOL…naaaah. How in thee hell did Taraji end up…

Wake Me Up When Ted Cruz and 'We Don't Use Washcloths' Twitter Are Done Trying to Cancel LeBron James
I’m not particularly fond of social media. How many goddamn selfies can you narcissists take? However, I’m acutely aware that a strong following can be leveraged into lucrative branding opportunities. It’s also a fantastic way to connect with your fans and audience on a deeper level or amplify important news and information. LeBron James has…

Bad Trip Star Eric Andre Racially Profiled by Police at Atlanta Airport
When TV host and comedian Eric Andre stepped foot into the Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport airport to catch his flight, I’m sure the last thing he planned for was to get harassed by two Atlanta Police while literally being steps away from his departing flight, but that’s exactly what happened. In a series of tweets…

How It Feels To Breathe a Brief Sigh of Relief After Inhaling America's Bile, According to Black Twitter

‘Where Are the Good Apples?’ Trevor Noah on Daunte Wright, Caron Nazario and America’s Rotten Tree of Policing
The other day, I took out an avocado in preparation for dinner. By all accounts this avocado looked perfect. Soft to the touch, but not mushy. Dark outer skin, but not too dark to where you could tell it’s clearly overripe. But when I cut it open, it was no good. I mean NO GOOD.…

In another episode of the mainstream American hit, “Marginalized Creators: Here, Damn!”, late night show host Jimmy Fallon recently came under fire after he featured TikTok influencer Addison Rae performing an instructional series of popular TikTok dances…that she didn’t create. Following the social media backlash, Fallon attempted to fix the blunder a week later. But,…

I Ain't One to Gossip, but Paul Pierce Might've Had a Mid-Life Crisis This Weekend and Was Stupid Enough to Put It on IG Live
Disney is notoriously strict when it comes to the behavior of its stars both on and off-screen, and while I’m not sure if those same rules apply to ESPN employees—the sports juggernaut was acquired by the House of Mouse back in 1995—I would imagine that after his actions this weekend, NBA great Paul Pierce spent…

Kevin Durant Wants to Whoop Michael Rapaport's Ass and I'm Not Quite Sure How to Feel About It
While Everybody Loves Raymond, actor Michael Rapaport continues to elude a similar fate. Maybe it’s because he habitually involves himself in Black people problems that have jack shit to do with him; maybe it’s because he came for Janet Jackson; maybe it’s because he got dragged by Meek Mill; or maybe it’s because he’s the…
