We wrote it off as just a lyric when Lil Wayne said “Beautiful black woman, I bet that b*tch look better red” in his new song “Right Above.” But could the father of this beautiful brown-skinned girl really be color struck?
According to one of our readers, the answer is a hardy yes. Destiny, who describes herself as dark-skinned, says that derogatory statements made during a recent encounter with...

The X Life "Father Son Moment"
There is a show on VH1 called the X Life. Here is a snippet that made me laugh.
(Biker dad teaches his 5 year old son to ride a bike on huge sand hills)
Biker Dad: Son, when riding a bike you can’t sit on your testicles. You don’t want to mess them up b/c you might need em.
(the son looks confused)
Biker Dad: Do you know what testicles are son?
Son: No
Biker Dad: it’s...
My Last Will by Abiodun "Damani"
FOR YOU I FLEW, I DROVE, AND I WAITED
YOU ARE ALL A MAN NEEDS TO EXCEL
ALL MY DESIRES, ALL MY FLUKES, ALL MY ASPIRATIONS STROKE WHEN I MET YOU.
YOU GAVE ME A LASTING SMILE EVER SINCE I MET YOU
I WAKE UP, TAKE A BATH, BRUSH MY TEETH AND SMILE FOR NO APPARENT REASON
SMILE WHICH IS ONLY KNOWN WITHIN
KNOWN BY PEOPLE OR PERSON WHO INFECTED/IMPACTED THAT SMILE
LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH EXPRESSION OF HOW I...

When I first joined tumblr, the tag consisted of natural women posting about their former days with relaxed hair or those dreadful hair debates. But shoutout to all the beautiful women on tumblr that are currently relaxed. Relaxed women rarely receive any praise or recognition on here.

Shekeyse: Daddy, why won’t you take your girls fishing? You always take the boys.
Daddy: Because you all don’t like to wake up at 5am and you complain about the bugs.
Girls in Unison: We won’t complain, Daddy!!!!

The Handsome "Distraction" Part 2
I feel it happening. I feel the smile come upon my face as I think of him. Oh yes, I feel it happening. I feel my heart beating faster when it hears his voice. I feel it happening. Ever since my past relationship, I hadn’t felt what I was feeling, but now I feel it again and do I want to feel this way? But even if I didn’t want to it’s there. This “distraction” is...

I have a walk, that's mean...kind of like Oluchi!

This touched me! And you know how I am, I wanted to be Miss Fix it. I really wish I could talk to her and tell her that she is beautiful bc she touched others and made a difference in people’s lives just by having the GUTS to post that.

S.H.I.T= (def)Sugar Honey Ice Tea. Confident and Comfortable with the true self.
Three weeks ago, I met this guy that I liked from a distance, and when I met him I tried to spark a conversation, I noticed that he did not like me like that. The dude, didn’t even try to get to know me on any kind of level! A little part of me wondered what the hell was wrong with him? Does he know that I...
This marriage of mine (smh version)
I just realized that in a couple of weeks I will have to return back to my stressful “marriage” to my school work. I call it a marriage because it feels that way to me. It feel like I said ”I do” the something that isn’t the way it use to be. I remember back in the day when everything was great, but now it’s just feels like a job! Since this is the shaking my...
A Handsome Distraction
Let’s start off saying that his eyes are the entrance ways to what’s to come. Looking in to them is like first laying eyes on a golden treasure chest. You just know that there is something great inside it! That’s the feeling I get when I look into his eyes. It’s something powerful there and that strikes me curious. I want to learn more about my “distraction.” And that I did. I had fun but there’s...
Walking breathing Tragedy
Sometimes missing him makes me want to reconsider my decision. But then I realize settling is nothing but a walking breathing tragedy.
Change hurts and at times I can’t see the outcome,but isn’t that the best thing about life, the risk and the unknown…
