Where are all the good single black men is a question posed by another post on this board. This is an an intriguing mystery and exploring it could make an interesting plot for a book. Coincidentally, I just happened to have written a novel that is a variation on the theme of a good black man being hard to find. But, as we all know, good and bad are relative… My urban contemporary romance novel soon to be released is entitled “The Only One”, and its story revolves around the familiar dilemma single “sistas” face when access to romantic prospects is frozen out by a flurry of “snowflakes”. The “black babe/white chick/black dude” triangle is a fact that continues to pro…

I’m sure I’m in the minority when I heave a sigh and roll my eyes and gripe at the way the upcoming anniversary of the 911 episode is being hyped. But then I don’t care about being a lone voice in a chorus of blubbering babble. That’s how I roll. OK, 10 years ago, a handful of Arabs with a minimal amount of effort and weaponry neutralized America’s state-of-the-art defense technology when a few hi-jacked airplanes flew into buildings, killing over 2,000 souls in NY and DC and PA. Tragic. Shocking. Yet, Death has a way of being random, casting its pall on anyone at any time. And it never takes a holiday. Thousands of people, young, old, Black, White, Asian, Christia…

I assume, in spite of the controversy, Tavis Smiley and Cornel West are continuing their mission, leveling accusations at President Obama for his lack of focus on black poverty in America. IMO, these 2 self-appointed champions of the underclass need to re-order their priorities. Has there ever been a time when poverty didn’t exist in America? “The poor will always be with us”, goes the familiar dismissal of this segment of the population. And they will, for the simple reason that ministering to the needy is, in itself, an industry, and the have-nots somehow manage to survive with the help of charities and social services. At this point, lamenting the ongoing plight…

Let me know which banner ad below is consistently clicked most frequently and why. One of the banners below, after hundreds of thousands of impressions over the years, is clicked three times as many times at the other. Now I know the banners target different people (potential advertisers vs. readers), but I thought it might be a fun and intersting exercise anyway

I'm really starting to notice that most black men arent attracted to white women. i use to think the majority of black men prefer white women if given the chance but im starting to notice that the women who turn a majority of black mens heads tend to be black or latina or a dark skinned asian. my conclusion is black mens preference lies somewhere in the middle...light skinned black women and latinas but i even see plenty beautiful dark skinned sisters getting stared down by black men. i think black men jsut on average prefer brown to golden skin and wavy hair on women. rarely do you see a black man staring down a white woman. the mall i work at its like white wo…

I wrote about Khadafi's crush on Condoleeza Rice 10 YEARS AGO in my autobiography "Diary of a Lost Girl." Nobody believed me.

So did Osama Bin Laden. Yasser Arafat spent literally millions on Black Porn Star EBONY AYERS. I have been telling (in quite strong detail) of this portion of our current history for some time. But I was always called a liar, a …

Question #1: Aside from the fact that they both involved drips, what do Kim Kardashian's wedding and Hurricane Tropical Storm Irene have in common? Answer: All the hoopla was more "la" than "hoop", courtesy of a disapppointed media. Question: #2: With the revelation of her pregnancy, will Beyonce's new baby inherit her beauty and Jay-Z's brains??? Answer: We can only pray. Question #3: Where in the world is Chris Hayden???? It's times like these that we need the benefit of his inimitable analyses of current events. Answer: he retired to a monestary to watch re-runs of Mayberry RFD.

Hi Everybody, Yes, naughty girl that I am, - I've been sent to the corner. Can you believe that?? Seriously, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Troy Johnson for bestowing on me the honor of re-naming this forum after me. I am very grateful and humbled. I guess persistency pays off, huh? I've been hangin’ around this site for years, ranting and debating and pontificating and, hopefully, informing. I’ve made friends and enemies and have also learned a lot from a broad specturm of regulars who have come and gone and who still offer occasional input. It’s been enlightening and stimulating and a pass time that has kept me young and viable, so I really ap…

Today, August 18, 2011, is my 78th birthday, and I had considered engaging in a self-indulgent monologue attesting to the old adage of Life being not about the destination, but about the Journey. Yet, who needs platitudes? Uppermost in my mind is actually an amazment exceeded only by the gratitude I feel over having made it this far. My parents and siblings and so many of my friends have all gone on ahead, including the good buddy who was my husband. Yet, In moments of self-imposed solitude, I am alone but not lonely; reminiscence and serenity are my close companions serving as a Yin to the Yang of the vivacious children and grandkids who rejuvenate me. So, all thi…

The World Wide Web (WWW) has been in a constant state of change since it became available to the general public in the early 1990's. I've had a web presence since 1995. I really can't imagine how the typical 20 year old can possibility understand a pre-WWW world. Things have improved so remarkably and quickly it is almost incomprehensible. There are two trends that I have noticed lately that are adversely effecting the nature of the WWW Large multinational corporate websites are beginning to dominate over independent websites. This is not a bad thing in and of itself. The alarming thing is that the big sites are able to accomplish this with bullshit content and a…

IN CLEVELAND ANTHONY SOWELL,KILLED 11 WOMEN,AND HE IS TRYING TO AVOID DEATH ROW.WHERE HE SHOULD BE....

President Obama just recently returned to Chicago to attend the 50th birthday party that doubled as a fund raiser. 3 million dollars was the take and it will go toward a re-election campaign with the goal of giving him another 4 years to extricate himself from the failure that came with the territory he inherited. In other words he's becoming preoccupied with winning another 4 years to chase his tail. The claim is constantly being made that racism is what is thwarting Obama's effectiveness as President. I most certainly agree. Which is why he shouldn't run for a second term. It'll just be more of the same. If he truly cares about change, he should take on a differen…

The Internet has really become a catch-all for the whims and schemes of PC users. Every week there is a new viral video out there, attracting millions of hits. Almost as frequently, a new hoax apppears which a visit to the Snopes site will debunk. E-Mail scams are every day occurrences, concocted to steal your money or your identity. The cyber world is a parallel existence that doesn't necessarily coincide with reality or truth. There is a video currently making the rounds that claims to be Little Richard as a child. As soon as I saw this performance I knew it was a crock of misinformation because I recognized the piano prodigy as someone I remembered from back in …

With everything that’s going on today, it’s hard not to wonder about the future of Planet Earth, in general, and the USA, in particular. Throughout the world, governments are toppling and those populations that are not protesting are the ones that are starving to death. Whether tropical or urban, jungles are crawling with violence and crime. The debacle occurring in Washington between 2 teams of grown men masquerading as responsible law makers is a disgrace. With all of them grandstanding, hoping their votes will ensure their re-elections, a mockery is being made of government while politics continues to be an unfunny joke. Making matters worse in America is …

With the latest headline-making scandal involving men in high places who succumb to the primitive gratification of forbidden fruit, I can't help but to again ask myself what possesses men to risk everything, - their careers, their family, their marriages, their reputations, just to indulge their sexual urges and fantasies? And are these high-profile men the exceptions, not the rule? I wonder. Gettin caught doing wrong seems to be the chief deterrent, as opposed to doing the right thing. Apparently, the penis is not satisfied with a good "hand". It prefers to trump the brain and gamble on winning. Women are still the big losers, whether they are the ones being betra…

Not since O.J. Simpson was aquitted has there been an uproar like this one following the "not guilty" verdict rendered in the Casey Anthony trial. And none are more outraged than the lynch mob of TV legal experts who have been trying this case in the media. Also calling for the head of Casey are the nation’s community of loving mothers who can’t imagine how any woman could harm her own toddler. Emotions have compounded the indignation because the public just can’t deal with how this case assaults the idea that parenthood is a privilege not a burden. To add insult to injury, party girl Casey Anthony was not only a bad mother, but she has been deemed a psychopath a…

Obama Derangement Syndrome---ODS—is a new category of mental illness recently added to the DSM, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the mental health profession's official catalogue. It is a disease afflicting conservative Republicans primarily. The symptoms of ODS are (1) an absolute conviction that anything said by Barack Obama-- “there are 24 hours in a day”, “the earth is round”, “water is wet”-- must be opposed and damned as the utterances of ‘the most radical president in American history’, (2) the condemnation of Obama for not buying into demonstrably absurdist ways of dealing with problems, such as—not taxing the rich makes everyone e…

I spent a leisurely week-end checking out a marathon of "Through The The Worm Hole" episodes, a series that has been running on the Science cable channel and that is narrated by Morgan Freeman. After trying to wrap my brain around all of the scienfic theories that attempt to explain the origin of the universe and the creation of life and the nature of reality, and the existence of time, I came to the conclusion that the answers to these mind-boggling questions lie in the mind of a supreme, omniscient, omnipotent intelligence and the explanations are beyond the comprehension of human beings. Christianity and Judaism and Islam attempt to personify this force and…

@jrhow2/twitterThe republican attack on public sector union workers is also an attack on blacks. Black public sector union members are a key part of the black middle class. They are the teachers, the hospital workers, the garbage collectors, the social workers, the janitors, the secretaries. At a time when the economic ladder has been pulled out from under so many, we all have a stake in fighting for those still able to support the businesses, churches, and other institutions that sustain the life and vitality of black communities. I marched in my first picket line 50 years ago. None of can say we are too old, too tired, or too well-off to do what we have to do to keep ge…

This interesting, on-point article appeared on May 30th in THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. It was written by one of its black coumnist who is an astute observer if the political scene. Racial panderers wallop Obama by LAURA WASHINGTON Is it the pot calling the kettle black? Or not black enough? Those are the questions swirling in the recent dust-up among some of America’s most prominent black intellectuals and talking heads. African-American names in the news have been exchanging harsh words over the state of black America in the Obama era. President Barack Obama is the piñata at the center of the controversy, but it’s not really about him. It’s abo…

As we all know, our own Kola Boof claims to have once been the mistress of the notorious Osama Bin Ladin, held prisoner as a love slave by him in a Morrocan hotel during the years from 1996 to 1998. The May 23rd, issue of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER features a story about the murdered terrorist and includes a picture of, and quotes by Kola. Among the things she had to say about this monster who constantly raped and bit her, was that he had awful body odor, was obsessed with Whitney Houston, often talking about making her one of his wives and giving her a mansion he owned, once he got rid of Bobby Brown. Kola further states Osama was a religious hypocrite who regul…

He is putting together a Motown musical said to be costing $100 million. The music will detail his life and how he stared the famed label. Will he tell the truth? Will he talk about the love affair and secret love child with…

An inspirational message I just had to share, as a final homage to Oprah... A real man is a woman's best friend. He will never stand her up and never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day. He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires. He will make sure she always feels as though she's the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible. No wait... Sorry.. I'm thinking of wine. It’s…
