Egyptians are Africans…because Egypt is in Africa [and other things the general populace needs to know]

Black Privilege (The Fried Chicken and Watermelon Legacy)

We’ve All Gone Mad [Why me and Don Draper ain’t vibing]
The NAACP Image Awards were filmed recently and I know they're going to air in the next week or so but of course a majority of the highlights are already on Youtube.

Ignorance Is Bliss (and other adages I think are wack wack)
Oh Clichés! You know, those wonderful phrases that some person, who doesn't actually have a valid answer for your problem, offers up to give you some type of direction. Although they can be very well intentioned, after hearing "There's plenty more fish in the sea" after your latest breakup for the twentieth time I'm sure … Continue reading Ignorance Is Bliss (and other adages I think are wack wack)

They Got Bookoo People Outside [and other things I say and do because I’m NOLA-bred]
As most of you know I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana. One of the single greatest cities in existence...I'm not even exaggerating here. If you didn't know I was from NOLA well, now you do. Even though I can't imagine why you wouldn't know because I mention it a lot. Like a profuse amount actually...ANYWAYS. What … Continue reading They Got Bookoo People Outside [and other things I say and do because I’m NOLA-bred]
