…Whitney Houston did more for the world than you will probably ever do. She stood up against apartheid, raised money to fight for Nelson Mandela, was a member of the Red Cross Board of Governors, raised money for the United Negro College Fund, and CREATED HER OWN NON-PROFIT TO BATTLE HOMELESSNESS…
eeeeeeeeyup!
Dear Whitney Houston, You Were the Voice of My... →
luvvdivine:
You were the voice of my generation and my childhood. Someone tweeted “If tomorrow was judgment day (sing mommy)” and the moment I read that last night, my eyes welled up and my cheeks stayed wet for 10 minutes. Gahtdambit, Whitney. Today isn’t supposed to be that day for you.
Amazingly well written.

I Hurt People
Wrote this over a year ago. Think I was feeling guilty about feelings I had.
I hurt people
People have hurt me
Hurt people hurt people
I want to matter to people who matter to me
I haven’t learned good ways of responding when I feel outside
I’m tired. So tired.
I need a new way of operating
But what happens if I try to change and the people who matter to me don’t like...

or alt in any way, or set fashion trends to have a long look at TLC in that video I just posted.
Pretty sure T-Boz wore that before Milla Jovovitch rocked in in Fifth Element.
Nah, not saying they were the first ones to have an eclectic look, but they worked it. They had whatever damn look they wanted, and did it while being Black.
Holla.

Holding Your Stuff
I had the opportunity to teach a couple of 6th graders the importance of not only keeping your friends’ secrets (the safe ones) but being careful who you tell your secrets to.
And while that lesson should ring true even for adults, there’s an additional piece that 12 year olds haven’t hit just yet but a lot of adults have.
If you’re blessed enough to have a person in your...

I feel that in our society, it is only allowed that African Americans can be victimized by racism.
ANYONE can be a victim of racism.
I hate seeing this white privilege shit, because where I live, thats just a shitty excuse for not taking responsibility for yourself.
I will say…
Munstermum, I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I myself have a shitty story or...

it’s like this, right? it’s like opening your eyes in the morning to sunlight. ok. it’s like knowing with every fiber of who you are that everything is chill. it’s like the feeling you have right after someone says “relax” and you do.
it makes you feel like everything is significant but nothing is important. it tells you everything is alright and you believe...

How Race Slowed the Investigation of a Double...
I love crime shows, especially crime docs like Forensic Files and Cold Case Files. Lately I’ve been watching a show on Netflix called Crime 360. In this reality show, cameras follow the investigation of homicides that are solved in part by using technology that allows crime techs to “freeze” a crime scene just as it is at the time of discovery for use later if detectives need to see the scene...

I am now in month 4 of an ongoing runaround with the terrible cable company known as Comcast. I just don’t understand how this company continues to operate given I’ve never met ANYONE (despite those stupid “welcome back” commercials) who likes or even is content with their service. They charge too much for not enough, nickle and dime their customers to death, make their...

Day 22: Your Favorite TLC Era
Definitely CrazySexyCool. they were a lot of fun during the OOTTT era, but they were so fierce during CSC. Favorite album, favorite era… and c’mon, all the best drama happened during that time, too.
The Fanmail drama was disturbing (because we all thought TLC was finito) and the 3D drama was tragic. Bet when they make that movie, we’ll spend the most time on the CSC era. :)

Why Many Television Networks Owe Black Folks
Subtitled: Fox, UPN, CW, and WB - Run me my money…
Ok, long long long ago a discussion happened on a now non-existent website that led me to share with the masses something that had long ago been shared with me: Black folks have always been the base for upstart networks and then when they got their money, they abandoned us for whiter fields.
First, let’s start with perhaps the...
