What’s a King to a Non-Believer? The Argument Against the MLK Monument

MLK STONE STATUE

This week has been crazy. We had an earthquake in the Northeast, followed by a Hurricane and the worst of it all, pictures of Kreyshawns stick figure titties corrupting my network connection! Throughout these trials and tribulations, we were treated to a special event: the dedication ceremony for the Martin Luther King Jr. monument in Washington [...]

Y'all don't hear me, "We need more Gamma Rays!"

  A few weekends ago, the brothers of Omega Psi Phi invaded DC to celebrate their centennial. Being a member of the centennial club myself I must say that it is truly a powerful moment in an organization’s history.  Well, as I sat on a crowded Metro train talking to a Que another patron (aka [...]

So Don’t You Fall In Love: A Thesis for Emotionally Unavailable Men

Can You Be Thursday?

Loved by a woman you have but moderate feelings for is one of the more frustratingly difficult places a man can find himself. It is even more frustrating when you’ve specifically told this person not to fall and when you’ve given them ample opportunity to avoid falling. I was reminded of what it feels like [...]

Will & Jada: Don’t Cry. This Is Not Your Life.

We are not role models. Live y'all lives!

Streetz I understand that some women look at successful marriages and relationships as the beacon of hope for them. In this cold, single struggle of a universe, we can look towards Will and Jada for a sense of solidarity and love. Well, I’m here to say that relying solely on people like them for your [...]

5 Things About Evelyn Lozada You Don’t Need To Know

Let's be clear, I ain't saying she's a gold digger...

  In the past month a few things have happened, three to be exact; the NFL Lockout ended, all of our enemies are officially “non-muthaf*cking factors”, and the reunion episode of Basketball Wives has aired.  Your first question is, “What does the lockout have to do with anything?” It’s fairly simple, after the NBA Finals [...]

  When looking across the entire spectrum of human emotion, the feeling I’ve had the most difficult time trying to encapsulate and internalize is without a doubt, love. Love for me has always been a bit of an enigma. I can perceive it in others and I can conceptualize it, but I’ve always had this [...]

News Flash: Black Men Still Winning

Yes sir ... you are winning

**** Editor’s Note **** I started this site almost 4 years ago. I named the site after myself.  I was a single black male.  I had no plans to stay that way, but it seemed fitting and I was loving being single. I was a young black male professional in DC. I was walking around [...]

  I want a girl when I want a girl. And when I don’t want a girl, I want a girl that understands that. And that’s some hard sh*t to explain… I was listenin’ to my ipod a few days ago when I heard Phonte from Little Brother (well, formerly Little Brother) spit this line [...]
