I recently read an article on (the sarcastically titled) BlackGirlsAreEasy.com called How to Talk to Women – a post offering advice to men on how to approach and talk to women – that contained a one-liner that caught my attention.

I’d known her for years, but our relationship didn’t get serious until college. I was just a freshman when her highlights caught my attention. I never noticed the accents of her curves before.

Not a week goes by where I don’t read about a woman, usually multiple women, talking about heartbreak in the blogosphere – not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Some men are afraid of women. I don’t mean physically – although some men are physically afraid of women. I mean mentally. Mentally speaking, most boys are terrified of women. This is why boys tell so many ignorant bold-faced lies that they could in no way shape or form ever get away with. There are [...]
This presidential election season has been nothing short of amazing. As I sit back and watch intently, I have come to see so things that have me truly captivated. Then there are examples of things that have me completely perplexed. The black church in America has played a gargantuan role in securing rights for marginalized [...]
Today’s Featured post was titled, Why Success and True Love Always Seem to Misalign and I hope you all enjoyed. As always, @RahimTheDream blessed me with a music video that totally related to the post. The name of this music video is, Career vs. Love. Rahzel Jr. (son of Rahzel from The Roots) has to [...]
