But get this: Ettel, in an interview with HuffPost, says that she was not racially motivated to snitch on the 8-year-old but was tired of…

I turn 42 in August, and although I’m often mistaken for a 20-something (thank you, coconut oil and good genes), my inner being is that of an old black lady. If you took the DNA of Dorothy from Golden Girls, Daria Morgendorffer, Richard Pryor and Thanos, you’d basically have me. I’m kind of cutthroat and take no…

What to wear? What to wear?

After using the n-word on two separate occasions, Netflix’s chief communications officer, Jonathan Friedland, has been fired. In a memo, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said that Friedland’s use of the word at work “showed unacceptably low racial awareness and sensitivity.”

Pssst! Deputy Managing Editor Yesha Callahan is off today flying to the BET Awards, so I get to break all the usual protocol! If it were not for this necessary explanation, I wouldn’t even write this lede. But today’s mailbag will focus on one specific topic, namely the opinion piece titled, “White people Are Cowards.”

Michael B. Jordan is back in the ring as Adonis Creed in MGM’s Creed II, and it looks as if an old-school rivalry is getting a reboot. Life has changed for Creed: He’s now a father and is still trying to live down his own father’s legacy.

Netflix has found its niche when it comes to its Marvel series. But not all of those series are created equal. Most people were left unimpressed with Iron Fist, partly because of the blandness of Danny Rand. Although I was initially excited about Jessica Jones’ second season, I found it hard to get to the end. But…

Deputy Managing Editor Yesha Callahan is gonna be mad at this short-ass lede, but today there’s no need to pussyfoot around. We all know why we’re here, so let’s address the elephant in the room.

R. Kelly’s ex-wife and the mother of his three children, Andrea Kelly, appeared on TV One’s Sister Circle and recounted what she says were her years of abuse at the hands of the R&B singer.

A couple of weeks ago I attended a media screening of Superfly, and I couldn’t help paying attention to the fact that so many other people from various media publications had no idea about the original movie. I heard whispers from people who had no point of reference from the original 1972 film, Super Fly, directed by…

Regardless of our dating or even sexual preferences, black men and black women are inextricably tied—by history, by culture, by blood, even by disdain and death at the hands of law enforcement.

A new trailer for Netflix’s Luke Cage has dropped, and this time Mariah Dillard (Alfre Woodard) is dropping some gems about black women in power. But don’t let Dillard’s proud-black-woman stance fool you. She’s still one of Harlem’s biggest crime bosses, but she’s about to meet her match.
