My Melanin-Deficient Readers Respond to Negotiate Terms of #BLAXIT
Yesterday, I published a post on what Black folks will take with us if we decided to make our exit (BLAXIT) from the United States. It was jumped off by Ulysses Burley III at The Salt Collective and basically, we are taking EVERYTHING awesome. Because we created/invented/brought them. My white readers …
#BLAXIT: More Things We’re Taking With Us If We Leave
This country is ungrateful as hell. You know good and damb well Black folks built this thing with our blood and sweat, literally. Now you wanna treat us like Starks at the Red Wedding and we do not appreciate it. If we decided to peace out and make our Black …
Whose Extreme Kitten Heels Are These?
Some people use drugs or drink too much. My vice is shoes, and I have an Instagram account (@MustLuvvShoes) dedicated to mine to prove it. I’m not snob about them either, and I’m not tied to luxury brands or type. I might be rocking $30 shoes one day, but you …
We Gotta Talk About Uncle Bernie’s Struggle Hair
Listen. Folks keep talking about issues and stances and policy, ignoring the real important thing about this whole election. When are we going to have a real conversation about Bernie Sanders’ struggle hair? When are we going to get down to the nitty gritty and get to the heart of the …

Because Prince Would Want Us To Be Petty Right Now

Hey Tech Support, America’s Loading Slow
It feels like the United States is going through some things right now. Between this election season’s straight buffoonery, spurred on by the GOP cirque du idiots and the Dems ripping each other apart, things are rough around here. It also doesn’t help that state legislatures are obsessed with regulating …
The GOP Candidates Debate Entrance Fail is a Gift
All we have in this world of sin and frustrating election season is the ability to laugh at the absurdity of it all. None of this shit makes sense, and at this point, I’m almost convinced that we’re all being Punk’d. But knowing we’re not makes me wanna sit on …
Frederick Douglass’ Hair on Google Welcomes You to Black History Month
I woke up this morning excited because I knew Google would change their doodle to commemorate the start of Black History Month. Last year, it was a graphic of Harriet Tubman holding a lantern, being a freedom queen. I dug it. But THIS year? They got Frederick Douglass front and …
Because You Need That Rude Waxer in Your Life
There comes a time in some women’s lives when we have an unhealthy co-dependent relationship that we refuse to give up. They cause us physical pain, tell us we look terrible, and that we need them. That relationship is between us and our aestheticians, who are our personal Mr. Miyagis (wax …
