The Ultimate Resignation Letter

5 comments

Happy Black History Month! Today is the first day of the shortest month of the year – and in turn is the ONE month that Uncle Sam has allotted for us ‘dark ones’ to celebrate and remember our history. What better way to kick off this remembrance than in the spirit of triumph? A little […]

How Did You ‘Coming to America’?

23 comments

“I’m planning a trip to Africa, and I would love for you to join me.” “Uhh…I dunno. When I think of Africa, I think of…” “Women walkin’ around with their breasts going ‘jiggy-jiggy-jiggy’?” (Cackles and simulates jiggling breasts with her hands.) “Hahahhaaa!” Conversation between Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss during a recent episode of Real […]
