I didn’t expect to find it here but thank you for this article I couldn’t have said it nor have I heard it better. Maybe I am a stan but I get fed up with people pulling out their ruler to measure her every breath. Godforbid she doesn’t fit their idea of perfection in every [...]

I liked Akiba Solomon’s piece on way racial justice should be a LGBT issue. I know Black members of that community who from the outset where at the forefront of the Trayvon Martin situation. As well they should be.

If Rihanna (or Chris) were a close friend or relative of mind I’d share with them my opinion but I really feel people have gone waaay over the line telling them what to do. I think they are not good for EACH other but it’s their business.

I’m sure President Obama and any other Black person doesn’t need Rick Santorum to tell them what they need to think and his arguement is disingenuous at best.

You no what, some things are just “fun”. There, I said it. Fun. I know in this forum of political correctness and every damn thing analyzed to death that’s a lost concept to some.
