  • How Come Nobody Cares About Boyz II Men Anymore?

    There was a time in my life when I absolutely hated Boyz II Men’s “End Of The Road”. Not because it isn’t a good song – it is – but because I couldn’t go ANYWHERE in 1992 without hearing this song. Drunk white people were singing it on benders. Black dudes were blasting it from…

  • If #BlackLivesMatter Is A Hate Group, So Are A Few Others

    In case you haven’t heard, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, that level-headed co-host of Fox & Friends and formerly of The View, suggested that the #BlackLivesMatter movement be classified as a hate group as video of protesters in St. Paul, Minnesota, used anti-police rhetoric loudly and proudly. This was in the wake of the recent, tragic shooting of a…

  • Police Pull White Chick Over. She Gets Out and Dances To Future (and Drake). Lives.

  • This Shaun King Takedown Attempt Is Fuckin' Ridiculous

    I’m so appalled. Over the past few days, conservative, right-wing people and sites like Glen Bleck, Breitbart, and The Blaze (amongst others) have accused Shaun King, an activist who gained significant attention after his in-depth analyses and social media campaign in the wake of the killing of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in August of…

  • Thank God The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Isn't Being Rebooted

    The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air may be my favorite television show of all time. Yes, I liked it even more than The Wire, Law & Order: SVU, and Unsolved Mysteries. I loved A Different World, and liked The Cosby Show Family Matters, but I was all about Fresh Prince. So when “news” broke that the…

  • "Straight Outta Compton": An Interview About The Movie With Panama Jackson

    (Full disclosure: I saw the movie for free a few nights ago. But I was not asked to nor paid to convince you to see this movie. I think you should because I love NWA and Black films.) VSB: Hey Panama, so we noticed you requested to do an interview…with yourself…about the movie Straight Outta…
