Brunch, Deconstructed
We all love brunch. Omelets, unlimited alcohol, overdressed Deltas, and more alcohol. It’s not just the best meal of the week, it’s one of the three or four best G-rated things on Earth. However, it came to our attention that resident hater of all good things Jozen disagrees. He feels like brunch hasn’t reached its…

America's Annoying "So…What Are You?" Game
I got an issue with this. And this. I’m going to try to put my finger on why. Bear with me. So the idea that “the face of America is changing” is one that keeps popping up in reputable news outlets. This, of course, makes me wonder whose face was “the” face of America, the…

VSB Presents: The #blackestname in America Tournament, The Sweet 16 (Pt. 2)
In the time it takes for Beyoncé to drink some wowdamelm, at least two Sharkeishas and one Dontelmomthebabysittersdeadisha’s have been born. And like Shaq taught us one of his multi-platinum albums (!!!!), you can’t stop the reign. Black rules everything around me, but creamy crack gets the money. Dolla dolla bill y’all. It’s the Sweet…

We started at the bottom, and now we’re here. And by “we started at the bottom, and now we’re here” I mean “we started with 64 of the loveliest examples of Blackness nirvana, and now we’re down to 16.“ Yup. 16. These are the 16 Blackest names in America. Which is an honor in its…

Why I'm Glad The Chappelle Show Ended
(Damon’s latest at EBONY wonders if it’s a good thing that the iconic comedy show ended when it did.) The news of the upcoming Lifetime Aaliyah biopic — and the casting of Zendaya Coleman — stirred another round of conversation about the deceased starlet, much of it focused on her status (the Haughton family apparently…
