Leaving Your Kid With Chuck E. = Parenting FAIL
Yahoo! posted a story about these parents who went to Chuck E. Cheese’s with their 3-year old for a party. But they left without her, and didn’t realize she was still there until they saw her picture on the news. Yes REALLY. Their excuse was that they figured the little …

Who You Calling a Niggabitch, Jackie Magazine???

Whose Face Tattoo is This?
Sometimes, I come across something that makes me realize that some people are born dumber than others. This tattoo is one. The weapon formed against him was “failure” and it already prospered when he got this permanently etched on his face. What makes someone wake up in the morning and …
Black Historical Figures Ride on Horses to Glory
I was minding my own business when one of my dope readers (@BeautyIntheGeek) emailed me talmbout how she went to the African Festival of the Arts in Chicago yesterday. It’s a great annual event and I usually go to load up on shea butter and to watch people rock their …
