Black folks; this one’s for you. White people, Hispanics, Asians and everyone else, this goes out to you as well. It just directly affects Black people a little bit more.

Inspired By Gabby Douglas
by ListenToLeon on 03. Aug, 2012 in Black, Olympics
Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas became the first African-American to win a gold medal in women’s all-around gymnastics yesterday. At the risk of sounding sentimental, I have to admit that it inspired me. This young girl waited her entire life for that moment and once it arrived she rose to the occasion. Plus, she did not just [...]

We lost Don Cornelius, Whitney Houston, and now THIS?! As wrong yet hilarious as this this Photoshop image is, think about what I typed for a second: This Black History Month has seen the loss of quite possibly the greatest female vocalist of our time as well as the man who INVENTED the Soul Train [...]

Monday evening, I stopped by the National Press Club to attend the book signing for How To Be Black by Baratunde Thurston. I am compelled to write about that evening for a number of reasons, but I will narrow them down to the top three and list them below: This book is very entertaining, and [...]
