Okay. I admit. This post has nothing to do with the picture. The picture is just freaking hilarious. The conversation in the video below is equal parts funny, serious, and informative. Black men having a candid conversation about the down low phenomenon. It’s a twenty minute video, so watch if you have time.
Black Women, Religion & Dating
Updated! I think many people fail to realize that when the topic of “Why are so many successful black women single?” people tend to neglect the SUCCESSFUL part. It’s definitely a class issue as women of all classes are not equally affected by the phenomenon. Yes, there IS a shortage! Do not even try...

Don’t listen to this! It’s not YOU!!!

Controversy: …and the (Slim Thug) saga continues

Sister Friends… If you (have ever) love(d) a hurt(ing), wound(ed), broken, sad man, i want to share this with you. This shit kept me up into wee hours of the morning late last night and i hope this helps someone. (I have dated this guy far too many times than i care to admit.)...
The New Dating Landscape
First, let me make one thing perfectly clear: I love being single! That’s right, singlehood has been great to me, and quite frankly, I have no complaints. None. Really. But now that my plans have changed, my priorities have changed. I love being single, but I would prefer being a relationship. Imagine that. In...
Why successful Black Women Can’t Find a man…again…
Wednesday night, ABC’s Nightline aired Part II of a segment it had aired a few months ago titled, “Why Can’t Successful Black Women Find A Man?” Part I featured four to five black women in their late twenties to early thirties. All were attractive, educated, and professional women all bemoaning the apparent shortage of...
