93 Why Does the Media Keep Running Stories About the Relationship Status of Black Women?

Why Does the Media Keep Running Stories About the Relationship Status of Black Women?

Because black women, as a whole, have issues in the relationship department. While I understand that it can be annoying for individual black women to feel as if their relationship status is under the microscope and always up for discussion, those individual women just need to walk away while the discussions are going on. It is my firm belief that in order for problems to be solved they must first be openly, honestly, and sometimes brutally be discussed.

389 OK, We Get It: You Don’t Find White Men Attractive…Now Can You Shut The F&*K Up About It Already!?

OK, We Get It: You Don’t Find White Men Attractive…Now Can You Shut The F&*K Up About It Already!?

Here’s the thing, I completely understand that not all black women will find non-black men attractive. Thus my suggestion to a black women to open herself up to dating non-black men will sometimes fall on deaf ears. Heck, I don’t like short men, and any suggestion that I get to date a cute guy who happens to be the same height as Danny DeVito will be ignored. But whether the issue is that you don’t think you’ll like the look of a pale-colored penis or that height-challenged males turn you off, the LEAST you can do for other women is to not shout that crap from the highest rooftop–in other words, could you stop f&*king up it for those who do like pale-colored men and the vertically challenged? I’m just saying…*insert Kanye West shrug here*

6 Why Be Jealous?

Why Be Jealous?

     Finn Nightley http://finnspen.wordpress.com   I really do not understand the concept of jealousy. Though I admit, I have felt it from time to time. I don’t understand why people let it fester and become an issue in their lives, more so, why they feel the need to poison others’ lives with their jealousy. I [...]

New Kiaser Foundation Study Shows Black Women Continue to Be Delusional About Their Weight.

Black women are being fed (literally and figuratively) a load of bull. Can’t you see that the (fat) joke is on us? “Oh look at the fat black lady! They just LOVE being fat! Go throw her some chicken and watermelon and ask her if she wants to wash my drawers and raise my kids, will you Bob?” *cough* The Help *cough*

34 The Koran Is Burned On A U.S. Airbase in Afghanistan, Death And Mayhem Ensue

The Koran Is Burned On A U.S. Airbase in Afghanistan, Death And Mayhem Ensue

The U.S. is supposed to be ‘nation-building’ in Afghanistan; NATO forces are not scheduled to leave until 2014. One has to wonder what kind of nation the U.S. is building if after over 10 years in the country the citizens don’t hesitate to take to the streets chanting “Death to America” after what was ostensibly only an accident on the part of some US soldiers.

At LEAST it’s Not Just Me: Someone Else Notices the Obvious Problem with Flicks Like “The Help”

I stand by my previous statement. THIS would have been a better battle to have fought. “Red Tails” is a memory, while “The Help” is making $200+ on the backs of black women’s stereotypes as mammies.

Pilates Preview: yo.pila.barre!

Boy, ya’ll are in for a treat. It’s taking much, MUCH longer than I thought, but “yo.pila.barre, The Best of All Three” is coming together nicely. I’ve taken the most effect yoga, pilates and barre method exercises that worked best for me–that keeps me in shape despite my pushing 40 with four kids to boot. And you guys need to know–I AM NOT NATURALLY SKINNY! Just about every female relative of mine is overweight. And trust me–my body really, REALLY wants to be fat. My body tends to morph into a Red Delicious if I’m not careful, which is why I’m careful.
