Conversation With A Mysogynist

It always surprises me when I encounter a real-life misogynist. How does one manage to hate ALL women? It seems like quite a laborious undertaking. I don’t have the time or energy to hang on to beefs with one person these days, let alone an entire gender! Besides, it’s completely ridiculous, which should go without [...]

Breaking The Urkel Curse

Cee-Lo Green featured Jaleel White as the lead in his new video, “Cry Baby.” I’m happy for the man. He’s one step closer to someday not being referred to as “Urkel” everywhere he goes. It’s gonna be a tough road for Mr. White to travel. Just about every child star with a famous catch phrase [...]

You were a great [...]

He Never Had A Chance

Once again, on the topic of names that scream out “I’m from the ‘hood”…Why would someone do this to their child? Naming a kid something stupid like “Darealyst” should be considered a form of abuse. Maybe not punishable by jail, but by something equally ridiculous and embarrassing so that the parent can know what the [...]

Toshica’s Finest

Toshica’s Finest

During a recent trip to the grocery store, I walked in the hair care aisle and noticed a brand called Toshica’s Finest. I thought to myself: “You know what? I’m not mad at Toshica!” This woman has embraced her “urban” first name, and branded her product with it. She could have named her hair care [...]
