While entertained by the usual shenanigans of Twitter yesterday, an interesting post title caught my eye. Originally published on August 16, 2011, TheBlackManCan.org Twitter’s account @TheBlackManCan shared one of their throwback post, His Story: Falling BLACK In Love about a man’s instantaneous and unapologetic love for a beautiful black woman he but briefly encounters. I felt this story definitely [...]
As many of you know, I’m the problem child around these parts. Along with that role as a problem child is my reluctance to answer SBMail. It’s not that I don’t care to answer the mail, but it’s that often times I think that the answers are fairly obvious. The other reason is that typically [...]
Let me begin by saying I’m a proponent for a healthy diet and lifestyle for everyone. However, I don’t agree a simple ratio of weight to height is the best or even the most honest measurement of health and fitness. At best, it is often misleading. At worst, it is woefully disingenuous. Either way, the [...]
I don’t know why, but people like forwarding me links to “interesting” content around the web. Last week was no exception. Someone suggested I check out a YouTube video about a book that came out a few years ago that I’d never heard of, A Black Girls Guide to Dating White Men. The author, Niki [...]
While surfing the Internet, the boy Wisdom is Misery sent us an interesting article. You may have seen it around. It talks about Black Women being heavier and happier than their white counterparts. Naturally, on the SBM listserve (don’t be surprised we have one), we ranted and raved and discussed this topic ad nauseum, and [...]
The other day @TheNation, a left-leaning political on-line periodical, tweeted the link to an article called, What to Wear to SlutWalk. I was intrigued. Clicking on the link, however, lead me to an article with different subject matter than I expected. An excerpt: The first SlutWalk, organized last April by Heather Jarvis and Sonya Barnett [...]
Why is it that a white girl can have sex with as many people that she wants, but if a Black girl does the same thing she’s labeled a hoe? This was the question that I was faced with and I struggled with the best way to answer it. On the inside, I know the [...]
I always struggled with writing about Black women in a high light because I always felt like if I wrote a post called, “Why I Love Black Women,” I’d just be accused of jacking for beats. #RIPLumidee. I read a lot of commentary on Black women on the Internet everyday and I’ll admit the amount [...]
***Dr. J’s note***Tomorrow’s my birthday.*** I’m not going to waste a lot of time rehashing points that we all know to be true. Black women do not like white women stealing their men. They don’t like it one bit. Black women have put in significant amounts of work towards supporting their men despite jail, drugs [...]
*Enter the scene* SBM and his good friend Denise are driving through the local bar section of their Alma Mater, a Primarily White Institute in the ACC. There are currently Lets take a look at their conversation. Denise: *pointing out the window* “Ugh … that just makes me sick.” SBM: “Please tell me your not [...]
