Stop it right now. Stop those trite, irritating, and annoying expressions of "Well, it is like doing X against the blacks," or "Well, it is like using the N-word to describe group Y," or the all time favorite, "Group Z going through this discrimination is like doing this to the blacks." For real though, those declarations do not make any sense at all. If the offense is that serious, then the

Facebook. I'm irritated by it. Part of it was the media slobbering over it. Nothing turns me off more. I don't know what it does, or purpose it serves, but it's everywhere. I look forward to the day I stop hearing about it, or seeing those little "f" icons on every damn website. Seriously, what's so great about having a web page that says: "This is what I'm doing now"? Or having a sidebar with a

Headache My head is killing me. I woke up with a hell of a headache. I cannot tell if it is the weather, a head cold, or having too much heat on. I cannot be dehydrated, because I drink a lot of tea, maybe I need to drink warm water after every cup of tea. A hot shower with the water beating against my forehead helps for a while. I run hot water and let it hit my forehead throughout the day. I

I liked the movie, Avatar, by James Cameron. I have not seen Titanic. The thought of watching a three hour movie about a sinking ship doesn't appeal to me. This movie is spectacular to look at. The 3D aspect does make you feel immersed in the movie. Very nice to look at. Plot: The natives, called Na'vi, on Pandora are under siege by military contractors (not the Marines) to mine the planet for

Why are "black people" defending, or trying to put into context, Harry Reid's "light skinned" and "Negro dialect" comments? Why? Why bother? Who is this supposed to matter to? I do not care if he stays, or goes. Ask Other Stupid Questions Harry Reid's comments, and mental deficiencies, are his problem. Perhaps instead of offering up excuses for him, he should be asked, and quite rudely: 1

Corporatism Runs Amuck According to some constitutional "scholars", the US Congress can mandate (force, compel, threaten to jail) Americans to buy stuff, from any corporation, at any price. Why? Thanks to Supreme Court rulings via the commerce clause and their interesting re-interpretation of a plain English document (US Constitution). I thought slavery was unconstitutional, but according to

  I love martial arts film. My understanding is that Rain will be making an Enter the Dragon-style film coming up, if not the actual remake. Ninja Assassin was released in theaters over a week ago. I saw it, because I read that Naomie Harris (who plays Mika) was starring in this film. She was definitely, a critically necessary element of this film. Why? Rain (as Raizo) doesn't say much. I

It is one thing to be proud of the mythical black Momma who purportedly raised her children, half the block, worked three jobs, and is a care taker of a sick mother, siblings, and grandchildren. It is another thing to assume that she is a happy Super Strong Single Black Woman, who seeks more people to take care of. At some point, she will stop and scream from exhaustion, "I can't do it anymore!"

No comment on this one. Okay ... I'll just say this: no surprise. The black guys (in the entertainment industry) wish they could be this bold. Instead, they take the slick route, doing the same thing, gradually becoming lighter. All he needs now is a nose job, and he can become the "white" man he wants to be. People can under go surgery to change their iris color. Wow! I wonder if he's wearing

I'm contemplating a couple of movies to see tomorrow. Why? I'm the Scrooge of Halloween. Nothing works my nerves like rude, ungrateful brats, looking for candy. They'll ring the doorbell until, I swear, it could be heard in the next county. They'll complain about not receiving enough sugary treats, or don't bother to say, "Thank you." Do I want to spend my money on these critters? No. Movies

It is Without a Trace or Cold Case with a faint touch of CSI

This was the first time I realized I could have stayed away indefinitely.I could leave tomorrow, and not look back.These feelings are not helped by how spoiled I

I am not a feminist / womanist, or whatever women decide to call themselves these days. I just believe in freedom, respect, prosperity, and the right to live a decent life as a human being for black women!The following essay was very well written.

Pretty guy alert: Bella's friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).Twilight was unintentionally funny, yet disturbing. I saw it on DVD, and this film would be a wonderful source of parodies for years to come.I think what may have sounded great on paper (Twilight comes from a series of books about a teen in love with a vampire), but on screen: B-film quality, melodramatic, creepy, campy, and downright

District 9 is the first major film effort of director Neill Blomkamp backed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings maestro). Shot documentary style, it is funny, gory (I likes!), and action packed. Not a dull moment.I enjoyed this movie, but it was a guilty sort of pleasure. It has one too many offensive, down right nasty, depictions of black people to ignore. At the same time, I thought the story

Went out to a mall a few miles away with my Mother. It's always a challenge when I go out to eat. At this particular chain (TGI Fridays), they provide no information on their website as to how many calories their food has. It was the only eatery I could find on my GPS, otherwise I would have gone somewhere else.However, their Vanilla Bean Cheesecake is deadly. It has to be about 600-870 plus
