So, two months ago Madame Noir published the article: White Women Do It, Too: 8 Things Black Women Can’t Get Away With Doing by LaShaun Williams. This article suavly bypasses such topics as the wage gap, promotions, or, god-forbid–running for President–in favor of covering such crucial issues as “being a slut,” “getting a nose job” [...]
Singled Out
So you know after hearing that my girl Feloni’s song is featured on Single Ladies, I had to check it out! Especially when I heard Queen Latifah was the executive director! I watched the pilot last night–and I have to say–I have some mixed feelings. My first misgiving was on the title–it sounds like a [...]
It’s the Black Kids
A very nice micro-dreadlocked older woman held her umbrella for my daughter to huddle under at Pride. We got talking. “So where do you live?” She asked me. “I live in XXXX” (neighborhood with a reputation for rich people/Jews/rich Jewish people.) “With my parents.” “Oh, I live in the Boston.” She responded. “But my daughter’s [...]
I Am Not Clear!
Actual words that came out of my radio this morning: “A lot of my closest friends in college were actually clear.” Really? Are you serious? Don’t make me reach into that radio and smack you! (I know how–after all, some of my “closest friends” are “urban!”) (For those of you still wondering what the hell [...]
First Post
So a while ago bloggers were all putting up their first post, and I never got around to mine…but I just went back and looked at it. The first was basically my about page. The about page has changed a little since then, and you can check it out if you want to, but it’s [...]
10 Rules For White People Who Hang Out With Black People
If you are already a white person who hangs out with black people you probably already know these rules–and when and how to break them. If you’re just starting to hang out with black people, or are wondering about those strange looks your black friends, colleagues and associates sometimes give you–you might want to brush [...]
Sorry For Being an Asshole
So it’s come to my attention that I’m an asshole. Don’t know what it is, but there’s definitely a part of me that gets off on pissing people off. That’s the part of me that takes a pro-Israel stance in arguments with rabid lefties (I’m really pro-Israelistine), debates religion with born again Christians, writes about [...]
Privilege Vs. Entitlement
“A life unexamined is not worth living.”–Socrates. I was at a black lesbian night chatting with the organizer, and I asked her why she thought straight men came to lesbian clubs to pick up women. “it’s because of their privilege” She responded instantly. I never thought of it like that….I do know is that after [...]
Just a Game
More realistically I think this board would be circular, with the white pieces outnumbering the black pieces 4-1 and a bunch of white businessmen in the background…just sayin…
Bad Example
So my new friends over at Charred Ice linked to my page with this sentence: “Still, the consistent asides of attraction to Black men and women and the subsequent unconscious? stereotypical non-sequiturs about them have given me pause more than once.” It was in the context of commenting on this Article. (Recursive enough for you? I think I’m confused. lol) [...]
