That Time Dr. Beverly Tatum Shared A Perfect Example Of White Privilege
It’s not every day you’re able to find a concrete and distilled “intellectual” example of White privilege (WP). Other examples are easier to find, but this particular brand of WP is as elusive as a fart in a cyclone. You don’t know exactly where it came from. But you can smell it. That said, I…

My Bobby Shmurda Problem (Hint: HE CAN'T F*CKING RAP!!!)
It was the summer of 2012. I don’t remember the exact date, but I do remember the events leading up to it. There was a three or four week stretch when Chief Keef’s name kept popping up. On Facebook.

What Did We Learn From Robin Thicke?
I promise you, I did not want to write about Robin Thicke and Paula Patton. My man Alex already gave Robin that work on here. Also, I spent more time than I’m comfortable admitting talking about their whole situation in the week leading up to the release of his recent album, which he named after…

Husband Makes Spreadsheet of Wife’s Excuses for Not Having Sex
In the most meticulous display of bitchassness you may see this month, a frustrated husband made a spreadsheet with details of every time he asked his wife for sex and her excuses for saying no. Somehow, none of these excuses were “you’re a passive-aggressive assclown,” but the data sort of speaks for itself here. They…
