Black History a joke or nah???

This year I feel like Black History has been a joke. All those "first n*gga to" pix have really got me feeling some type of damn way! Then Nicki Minaj's dumbass releases her album cover and she uses an historical picture of Malcolm X with the title "Lookin A** *igga"... REALLY!!! I'm so flippin disgusted! And I've already touched on Zimmerman's simple antics... Then the verdict in the trial of Michael Dunn oh and then I read yesterday that yet another brown face baby has been shot by a white man while playing outside!!! And all of this going on during a time when we are supposed to be being celebrated as a people! We only get 28 days to celebrate the pioneers that paved the way for not just us, but everybody, to have the smallest of luxuries! Someone actually said to me "I think we should do away with Black History Month, look at what a joke it's become!" I was also told that I should lighten up because it's not that serious! Guess what folks... IT IS THAT SERIOUS! You can't make a mockery of yourself and then demand respect when it suits you! I was raised to be proud of who I am and where I came from. History and heritage are very important and we should be teaching the upcoming youth how to be proud, not to lighten up and make fun! It's all fun and games 'til it happens to you. What if you woke up one morning to find that someone had put one of those ignant ass posts up with a picture of your great-grandmother or someone important to you, would it still be funny??? Or how funny is it that the man who owns the company and all publishing and copyrights to said photos is a white man? We gotsta do better! February is supposed to be a month of pride, how dare you make it into a joke!!?

Relationships... Could you be "kept"?

Hey all... I haven't had much to say by way of relationships in a while, mainly because everyone and everything is so different these days. Things evolve and views change. It becomes a "to each his own" situation. We spoke some about this on The Wine Down and my basic opinion is whatever it is you choose to be, make sure that your doing it because it makes you happy... not because you want to please whomever you're with. It needs to be a win win or else you're losing... #thatisall       With that being said, I'd like to touch on a specific kind of relationship. How do you all feel about being "kept"? When I say this I mean, being in a relationship that's basically a business arrangement. You trade sex and company for financial gain. The older I get the more I start to be aware of what goes on around me and the reality is, there a lot of kept people in this world... and it's not just women being kept either if that's what your thinking!

Tall Girl Problem #4080

Hello world!!! I took off a week and I must say I'm glad to be back at it!!! Today's topic is long sleeves!! For a tall girl, long sleeves happen to be the devil! We can't order anything with long sleeves online... Most of the time anything with long sleeves is toooooooooo short and when it isn't we buy it, even if its ugly!!! LOL I'm personally starting to feel disrespected. I don't understand whats's so hard about creating garments specifically for the above average height woman... Now I will say that over the years it has gotten better, we do now have pants n jeans that come in tall...* All praises to the most high* Now if only cute button ups, frilly blouses n coats would catch up... I really don't want to have to resort to wearing a coat from the mens department at Macy's! I'm to sexy for all that... The year before last I purchased a Calvin Klein bubble coat for women that was barely passing... Had to get a pair of long gloves to make it lo

In response...

I've been doing a lot of research into this tall girl thing. The other day while browsing through the many sex tips, tall girl clothing tricks, etc... I came across a title that grabbed my attention... 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DATE A TALL GIRL. Now ya'll know I had to stop and read this nonsense!! After reading it I decided to share and respond! Here we go... 1.Because you're the little spoon- nobody wants to cuddle with a beast     I say she can spoon you, cuddling is cuddling.  Who cares who's the cuddler and who's the cuddlee 2. Hand jobs from her are the most emasculating thing- Monster hands are scary and once she puts her hands on your penis it makes your johnson look nonexistant.     Umm 2 things, 1: I have never in my life had a man stop me from touching him because of the size of my hands! 2: If my hand makes your "johnson" disappear, then the size of my hands really isn't your problem!!!! 3. 6'5 in heels is never a good loo
