Are Blacks High Maintenance?

We used to lounge around a lot during the internship, particularly if it was a slow day, and given that we had three couches in the room that was our office, it was common practice to stretch out on the couch and put our heads on the pillows–although God knows who had farted or put [...]

Should Blacks Take a Lesson From the Chinese?

Okay, now everyone is aware of the “wink” seen ’round the world.  If not then I’m suggesting you may be living under a rock if you haven’t heard about the picture above.  But, if that wasn’t enough, there’s another picture that surfaced from the Spanish women’s basketball team and the Spanish tennis team.
 
And let’s not [...]

An Uppity Negro Award

I was flipping channels after typing up another blog, which has yet to be revealed and is kept in a secret location, I flipped past the Golf Channel–and I saw a black person.  This black person in fact.

The United States is Not Ready for a Black President

In fact, on the contrary, we’re only ready for a president, who happens to be black.

In the Midst of Being ‘Black in America’

This CNN special blew up bigger than they expected.  I’m quite sure.  I don’t know what to really say, I’ve heard both sides of the argument as far as how effective the special was.  But, guess what, I haven’t seen it in its entirety.  I fully saw the Essence/CNN panel last week, and I thought [...]

I finally have a guest blog.  Although, she is not one of the first people I asked to do a guest blog, she is the first one who actually did it.  Hopefully The White Girl will spur my others to do their guest blog.  But, The White Girl is a colleague of mine at ITC.  [...]
