The Fate of Black Love? Maybe.
If TV is supposed to be a reflection of our times, then based on music videos and popular reality shows like “Flavor of Love”, we are really in trouble.
The state of the black community is a topic that has been plaguing its people for years. The origin of the black family starts with the black man and woman. Before there can be children to produce and raise in a conducive environment, there first must be a man and woman willing to take the road toward building a life together. Read more

Pssst, they can see you!!
Lately I have begun to concede that I’m somewhat attractive. Just yesterday I was hit on twice in the span of three seconds; meaning one pair of girlfriends had to interrupt another pair of girlfriends. Never seen that happen before. I thought I was merely ‘alright’ (or ‘enough to get by’) but I guess that’s not my call to make. Anyway, I say this because these approaches occur in spurts and sure enough as I walked the subway platform (’cause parking downtown is a mutha) text-messaging my homegirl, I noticed two girls sitting on the bench at which I usually wait.

… i couldn’t feign any more enthusiasm.
US hip-hop artist Foxy Brown has been released from jail after serving eight months of her one-year sentence.
The punishment stemmed from an attack on two Manhattan nail salon stylists over a $20 (£10) manicure in 2004, which led to three years probation.
She was then jailed last September when she was accused of hitting a woman with a mobile phone and a judge ruled she was not taking probation seriously.
She spent 76 days in isolation after having a fight with another inmate.
Foxy Brown’s albums include Ill Na Na and Chyna Doll, which went to number one in the US in 1999. (BBC News)
Wow… really?!
You know… she and Flava Flav might really hit it off… let it marinate.
