    Confirmed: Stop Asian Hate was a Farce

    So much of what we are fed is a farce and nothing but hyperbolic lies meant to keep us fighting each other. It is all by design. I remember a while back that a lot of BLM shirts and what have you were being made in Chinese sweatshops as products of slave labor. It is ironic and sickening. They...

    Mandated Vaccination - How will this affect black Americans?

    I see good old Joe has put in an order to mandate vaccination through companies. If a company has more than 100 employees, they will either have to do weekly testing (which is not cheap) or force vaccinate their employees. I am wondering how this will affect black communities and black...

    What y’all feeling about married couples and joint accounts?

    This really depends on who you marry. I don't mind a joint account. I think if you are in a marriage, regardless of who makes what, that money becomes one income that both people can use. I think it is fair to say you can use the money you make to get what you want within reason but if you need...

    Wigs, Weave, Natural - What is your preference?

    That is what disappoints me. There should be more affordable options for black women. The cheaper stuff always looks cheap!

    Should everyone start wearing their own body cams?

    To live in a world where we feel it is necessary to wear cameras to protect ourselves is a problem. I get where you are coming from though. I think at the very least, having personal cameras on your home and in your own property is a good idea. When you are out in a public space where things...

    Does anyone here have their own YouTube? Is it worth creating content there?

    This is why you build contacts everywhere you go. If you have something someone else wants, needs, or enjoys... You make damn sure they know where to find you. I think it is fantastic that anyone can be a business owner online these days but you have to make sure you protect yourself.

    Does anyone here have their own YouTube? Is it worth creating content there?

    I tried to get one started a few years back. I wanted to do one about self-love and care for skin, hair, and self. It seems like it is so overly saturated on there with content at this point, you'd have to be lucky to get a decent following. Good cameras, editing, and being an entertaining...

    Being judged as a group and not an individual?

    We need to learn to take care of each other and stop tearing each other down. The way the culture is in America is designed to separate us and keep us fighting so we can't rise up and be successful as other races in America. Like the whole divide and conquer thing is real. We need to establish...

    Acrylics/Fake Nails - Classy or Trashy?

    The small talk can be bad! lol I tend to bring a friend with me and have them sit by so we can talk when I get them done. I am getting cheap though I seldom get them done. I'd rather just get some glue on ones at this point. They don't last as long but they are a lot cheaper!

    I blame hood rats w/money

    Yeah, it makes a difference. Like they always say how important it is for a father figure to be in a household for a boy but it is just as important for a girl, in some cases even more important. Having a healthy relationship to witness as a child sets you up for forming healthy ones yourself as...

    Gender Bias In Medicine

    In my area, most doctors are Asian or Indian and they do a good job. This is my experience though. I have had a few white doctors and they aren't as patient. They seem to rush and not answer all my questions. Like if my insurance is paying you, you should be able to answer my questions. lol

    Wigs, Weave, Natural - What is your preference?

    Getting a perm or getting your hair relaxed is just styling your hair without tools. To me, it is a lot different than covering up your natural hair with a wig or using weave. A lot of wigs and weaves don't use the real texture of a black woman's hair either. I have seen some but it seems like a...

    The Black Authority Discussion: Using the Latino Wedge Vote

    I'll just say this... The only time the black voice matters is when our votes are needed or they need to use our social issues to take power away from other people. The government views blacks in America as pawns. And Gavin is a real piece of work. That dude only likes Hispanics when he needs...

    Gender Bias In Medicine

    I tend to go with Asian or Indian doctors for this reason. Like no offense to white doctors, but I feel like they can really brush over some stuff and not many know the differences when it comes to genetics. I am a nurse and I do see it. Black folks are more prone to things like diabetes...

    Wigs, Weave, Natural - What is your preference?

    You can answer this as a guy or gal but I want input from the ladies specifically. When it comes to your own hair, what preference do you have? I know a lot of ladies who rock wigs and I get it. It is convenient and cheaper than having to get your hair done all the time. I have a few myself...

    Do you 'move in silence?'

    Oh absolutely. I have had friends who found out my dreams and goals and would actually try and get in my way just so I wasn't more successful than they were. Women can be really catty and pathetic. If you have the added thrill of being a black woman, then you really have to watch who you share...

    When is Twerking Inappropriate?

    Anyone see how Spring Break in Miami went down this year? I saw viral videos going around of a group of women in the middle of the damn street with their asses out twerking like a pack of animals in heat and people around them cheering it on. If you want to attract yourself an incapable partner...

    Acrylics/Fake Nails - Classy or Trashy?

    My opinion on fake nails is mixed. I feel like they can look nice and really add a nice feminine touch to a woman's style but some of the nails I see women rocking are just awful. Like when you get them done and have them longer than a certain length, it just screams "trashy" to me. I have had...

    I blame hood rats w/money

    That is a fair point, a lot of black women have high amounts of masculine energy and it can be a massive turnoff for a lot of dudes. I get that. I mean I can't stand seeing a woman walk, talk, and act like a man. Like yeah, you should be strong and don't let people walk all over you but that...

    What kind of phone do you have?

    I mean it is a bigger phone than my last and it took me a bit to get the feel of it. I kept feeling like I was going to drop it, I don't have big hands but now that I am used to the size, it is managble. I like the features of it and mainly got it so I could ditch using my tablet.
