Soror,
Your so right, but I didn't see "them" in the Galleria in the Louis Vuitton store with the fema debit cards the next day. Why people? Why?

I dont know if yall have seen this cell phone commercial. It's about choices or something like that, in it this white guy on a bus tells this black woman i want you to dance for me...she automatically turns around and starts doing a booty bounce up and down on a pole on the bus...its ridiculous

Is that what people really think of black women, all we can do is shake our butts? is that dancing -(ok well sometimes)

Here in Philadelphia, mass transit runs a series of trains that go to the suburbs. Most of the people who ride those trains are working, middle aged white people. There's really not that much talking going on because people are just trying to get to and from work. There aren't that many young black people riding these trains. Actually, there aren't really that many black people of any age on these trains.

Okay, so one day I was riding the train to work. These two young black girls go on, they were about twenty two or so. So, the one girl starts talking all loud about the date she had last night while her boyfriend was at work. "Girrrll, you know I had a date with Fathead last night. We went out to dinner and then back to his place. He was tryin' to hit it but I knew I couldn't because Man Man always likes to get some when he gets off in the morning. But, I knew Fathead wouldn't be tryin to take no for an answer after he just spent fifty dollars on dinner. So I told him that it was my time of the month and then, I ran in the bathroom and used my emergency tampon. Girl, that mess hurt cuz I was all dry."

Please keep in mind that it was about 7:00 in the morning and me and the two females were the only black people in the car. They were so loud that everyone in the car heard the entire conversation. I just wanted to slap the taste out of their mouths.

OMG!!!!i That takes the cake!!!! Not to mention, I take the R2 into Center City and it always our folks talking super loud on the cell phone.

THIS IS WHY I HATE BEYONCE and others.




I hate it when my student's names are not grammatically correct. I don't care how crazy the name is at least ASK someone how to spell it.

Don't name him Deonatae and pronounce it Deontay. Why the extra syllable in the middle???

Don't name her Laquisha and pronounce it Laquaysha?

But then why the hell did you name them those dam names in the first place????

From an email:

Lost Churches in Louisiana

One of the local television stations in South
Louisiana actually aired an interview with a black
woman from New Orleans. The interviewer was a woman
from a Boston affiliate. She asked the black woman how
such total and complete devastation of the churches in
the area had affected their
lives.

Without hesitation, the woman replied," I don't know
about all those other people, but we haven't gone to
churches in years. We get our chicken from Popeye's."


The look on the interviewer's face was priceless.

Yeah. Like I said before, folks were doing the same thing others have done with their student loan checks...purses, outfits, cars, paying fees to join orgs, etc.

Different events, but it's still fraud.

My dad has a convenience store that pretty much has proportionate array of races coming in the store. A 'sister' came in screaming "Ya'll ain't got no fish?? Ya'll know black folks eat fish on Fridays!" True indeed this is in the south, but it was all kinds of customers in the store. I was ashamed...
