My Favorite Tiny Rapper, Khaliyl, is Back!
There was a video going around of this little adorable 2-year old Khaliyl Iloyi rapping some time back in his onesie. And I found a new (I think) video of him and his dad rapping again. My ovaries did the wop, the running man and the cabbage patch. I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOY!!! YESSS!!! I’m [...]
Someone Come Get Jessica White
I’ve never really been a huge fan of Jessica White, because she usually has this “what stinks?” expression on her face for no reason. Maybe she’s mad that no one told her colored contacts went out with towel jackets. But whatevs. Anywho, I saw this pic of her on a red carpet and gave the [...]
Rock the Red Pump With Me, Folks!
My peoples! Do you know about my nonprofit organization The Red Pump Project? Yup. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we launched our fourth annual Rock the Red Pump™ bloggers campaign, in recognition of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD), which is March 10th annually. The campaign’s goal is to generate conversation in blogosphere about the [...]
Dear Eddie Long, You’re a King? iRebuke It
Yesterday, I was alerted to the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard since… well the day before. Let me give you the cliffnotes on what happened. This past Sunday, some Jewish Rabbi (or so he says) named Ralph Messer went to New Birth Missionary Baptist Church to crown Bishop Eddie Long as “King.” He used some [...]

Michelle Obama Loves Red Velvet and I Love She
As if FLOTUS Michelle Obama wasn’t already the bombest of the diggities. I watched a clip of the interview she did on Jay Leno last night and she was talmbout how her birthday just passed. Her mom and the kids decided to make her favorite cake: RED VELVET! Some of you already know of my [...]
Halle Berry and Gabe Aubry’s Sketch Artist is Hilariously Biased
Halle Berry is taking her baby daddy Gabe Aubry to court for a restraining order and to get full custody of Nahla or something like that. I haven’t kept track of the trial at all and I really don’t think I give any dambs. No shade. But my girl Jen Wang of Disgrasian sent me [...]
I Have So Many Questions About This Painting
Sooo I saw the following painting on Facebook when Sam (@blunted215) reposted it, after seeing it on someone’s page with the caption “I almost cried seeing this.” I have so many questions about this painting. * Why is Jesus behind ol’ boy looking like He has to go to the bathroom really badly? Is Jesus [...]
My 10 Thoughts on the SAG Awards
Last night was the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards and here are my 10 thoughts on it. * On the Red Carpet, Angelina Jolie was looking like she got dragged out the house. And her hair was all poofy like she forgot to flat-iron it. Or maybe when she left the house it was fine [...]

Whose Wendy’s Tattoo is This?
So I saw this pic and was like O_O This is why some people can’t have nice things. Unless you consider obesity and the diabeetus nice. One day, you decide that you want to get a permanent mark on your body. You don’t go with the usual cheesy stuff like the name of your mom. [...]
I Finally Started Watching “The Wire” and I’m Hooked
No, this post wasn’t written in 2003. I’m just tardy for the party as always. For a long time, folks have been telling me about the greatness that is The Wire. A slew of my favorite nerdy Black boys have even called it “the greatest TV show ever” unabashedly. Even the President of the United [...]
Patti LaHelle Wins The YouTubes With “The Uninvited”
And yes, I meant “The YouTubes.” I first discovered Patti LaHelle’s videos in September when I saw the “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” video and I was slayed DEADT! Well there’s a new one and it is chock full of gems. *lays out* My favorite lines: Whitney: “Team Jesus. Team Soldiers for Christ. THAT’s the [...]
