onikaisthenewblack:
Lots of thoughts are spinning around in my head about this discussion. I just wish people could walk around in my shoes and have white ladies say they “like my hat” or ask to touch my head like I am a fucking exhibit deal with family and friends, coworkers and supervisors imply that I am dirty, unkempt and “less beautiful” with my hair this way then try to come and tell...

No, really, why is that? Natural hair folks?
sapphrikah:
Why is it that so often times when people talk about Natural Hair what they really mean is Afros, locs and other styles often get absentmindedly forgotten.
I could click a link to read an article about natural hair and it turns out it doesn’t apply to me at all because its about fros and the styles you can do wit them, and not at all about locs.
Like wow, I didn’t know locs weren’t...

QUESTION FOR THE MEN
Honestly: If a woman is sexually liberated and knows exactly what she wants, and has sex with you relatively quickly after meeting you, do you think you could ever think about her outside of sexual terms? Would an encounter that started off with friendly conversation and sex ever have the possibility of developing into more?
No recognition

Is it weird that I’m a little offended that I’ve striven to be the best member of this community that I can be (for the last four years) and I have not been featured on the website even once?
Not weird at all. I feel the same way! Clubs? Grades? PA? Job? Tutor? I’ve done it all and still don’t have a picture on the website!

When workers are being exploited in the production/transportation/cultivation of foods (which they often are), the product cannot possibly be considered “cruelty free.”
Word! So often do people think about the animals before they consider the people… smh

Motherland Volunteering
Please help my friend out. Pricelis is an amazing individual with a huge heart. She is raising money to volunteer in DR, it is this kind of dedication to helping one another that I find so inspiring.

I decided to take a look over every film that’s ever won best picture at the Academy Awards, to get a little bit of context. From 1927-2010, there were 12 films in which I could remember a Black character. 12.

Thoughts on Dexter season finale!
Spoiler Alert!!!
1) wtf? Who decided it was a good idea to have Deb be in love with Dexter? That’s just a little too high on my freaky scale. How will Harrison explain that his aunt is also his step-mom? :O
2) Why did that intern send Dexter the hand from the ice truck killer? Also very creepy, but could turn out to be a very interesting plot line in the next season. (“Dexter I love...
