    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.

    Do you have any dating horror stories?

    For real. I told my manager right away and I actually took a few days off work to hopefully make the dude think I quit or something. I never saw him after that. I don't know what his deal was but I did not want to find out. It just put me off completely. Like if you want to approach a woman you...

    I blame hood rats w/money

    I am just going to say it like it is... People like Cardi B are nothing but hood rats with money. They make us women look bad and give dudes some kind of false perception of how women should be and act, especially in a relationship. Since this behavior went mainstream in music, I noticed a...

    What kind of phone do you have?

    Recently got a deal on the Galaxy Note20. Have to pay for it monthly but it isn't that much. It is a nice phone. I think the color is considered bronze. It is a big phone but I like it cause I can multi-task for work and whatever on the go.

    Do you rent or own?

    I rent right now with a friend. We have a smallish apartment, 2 bedroom place. I am planning on moving out and getting my own spot in the near future since her and her boyfriend are getting serious. I think she wants him to move in.

    Do you have any dating horror stories?

    Mine is kind of like yours, not really a date. I was working at a drug store and had this dude legit walk up to me and tell me he had been watching me for a while and would love to get to know me. He handed me a CD and a piece of paper and then left. One of my co-workers was making a joke of it...
