Lately, people have been calling me skinny

It’s a weird comment to hear, especially coming from one of the office whales. You know, like if you think I am skinny, what does that make you? And she sounded exasperated, like how dare I appear so small – at least in her eyes, because I don’t see it. I was told by someone [...]

Wayne Brady vs Bill Maher: How a Good Brotha Fights A Bad White Man

He does it by talking about the black women (of questionable repute) that the “bad white man” dates. Say What? Apparently, Wayne Brady (WB) got plenty tired of Bill Maher (BM) using his name to lament President Obama not being hardcore or thuggish enough to suit him. Perhaps both should search YouTube for that video [...]

Rant: What I Dislike About Being a Black Woman Sometimes

Oh, I like being a woman who’s also “black”, just fine, it’s people getting on my nerves that ruins it. You are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. People like making up these “what a black woman shouldn’t do” rules, because they are emotional bullies, hypocrites, and misogynists. If you work for [...]
