50 Cent Is The Worst Type Of Person: Powerful And Petty
I will not pretend to know exactly what happens when a person files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Sure, I can read about it on the internet. And the internet will tell me that “when a business is unable to service its debt or pay its creditors, the business or its creditors can file with…

VSB Roundtable: The One Where We Talk About Camille Cosby
I’m sure by now you’ve all seen, or heard, some confidants of Camille Cosby spilled some of her alleged thoughts to the NY Post. I say alleged because these words came from somebody else on her behalf so it’s entirely possible it’s NOT completely accurate and because its the Post. From the NY Post story:…

Did Warren G. Get Robbed By His Homies On "Regulate"?
I was perusing the rap blogs and came across a new song by Warren G. featuring Nate Dogg called “My House”, which is presumably on his new album Regulate…The G-Funk Era 2. As you’d expect, the song is trash, but you weren’t ever going to listen to it anyway as you’ve probably not listened to anything…

White Tears, Explained, For White People Who Don't Get It
Yesterday, I wrote a short piece celebrating Serena Williams’s 2514th consecutive victory over Maria Sharapova; a win that took her to the Wimbledon final. Titled “Serena Williams Drinks, Bathes In, And Makes Lemonade With White Tears“, it acknowledged and made light of how Williams’s success grinds the gears of certain types of people upset that she…

Serena Williams Drinks, Bathes In, And Makes Lemonade With White Tears
Serena Williams just beat Maria Sharapova. Again. Because that’s what she does. Chew bubble gum, beat Maria Sharapova, and win majors. And I have no doubt that, as long as she doesn’t become too distracted by the emojis Drake is texting her right now, she will beat Garbine Muguruza in the Wimbledon final. There is a particular…

On Wondering If I Should Teach My Pre-Teen Nephew To Be Wary Of White Girls
I have two new nephews. Not “new” in that they’re newborns, but new to me because they’re my nephews through marriage. One is introverted, observant, snarky, cynical, and obsessed with basketball. Basically, he’s a 14-year-old me. Naturally, upon first meeting him three years ago, we immediately clicked. The other nephew is a couple years younger,…

I Am, Officially, The Oldhead At The Hoop Court. Please Hold Me.
The realization should have come in 2013. I was a regular on the court at LA Fitness in Bakery Square; showing up three times a week to play (and, usually, beat) guys who were half my age. And half my age plus 10 years. I was the shit. They’d call me Joe Johnson. Or Paul Pierce. Or…

Seven Songs We Need To Retire From Cookouts, Clubs, And Other Places Colored People Congregate
After years of being exposed to White parties, I’ve gained a particular appreciation for the comfort of attending a Black party and having a general idea of what to expect musically. No getting Rachel Dolezaled when you hear a Black song starting to play and it’s suddenly remixed with EDM porn music. No sir, there…

Bill Cosby, Dirty And Guilty Old Shit, Admits To Being A Dirty And Guilty Old Shit
Bill Cosby actually said out his own actual mouth that he bought actual drugs to sedate actual women. Women he, in his own words, “wanted to have sex with.” He also actually admitted out his own actual mouth that he gave the actual drugs to at least one actual woman. When you sedate a person before…
