    In The Streets Of Tokyo

    For real? I never been to Japan but I am familiar enough with their culture. Never heard of this!

    Yes Biden is giving out crack pipes.

    And this is where our tax dollars are going. Ya'll we really just need to stop paying them as a collective unit, even if we need to get some of the white people involved. They can't arrest millions of people. This is just a joke. The last straw for me was during COVID when Biden signed off on...

    Do you like a partner with a sense of humor, someone who can make you laugh?

    I grew up around boys so I have a pretty sharp and competitive sense of humor. Anyone I am with needs to be able to laugh and take shots as well as give them within reason. I don't like people who can't laugh or take a joke. Especially dudes. If you are so straight you may as well have a pole up...

    In The Streets Of Tokyo

    The dude never watched anime then. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed a decent amount of it but back in the day they did exactly what Disney did with black characters. We can't just sit here and play stupid and pretend racism isn't a thing in Japan. People are just more polite over there. They won't...

    Modern Games are too long in playtime

    Yup. If you don't have time to invest in modern games to the full extent, just focus on the main story. Save the other stuff for after if you have time for it. I get that though. Collecting stuff makes it feel more worth it. I was like this back in the day. I just don't care too much anymore. I...

    The Ukraine vs Russia Megathread

    I saw this coming. After all the lockdowns and the panic of covid, people going into debt, economies being shattered... It was leading to this. Russia's economy is worse than ours. They are desperate. I don't know if things will get worse from here but it is not looking good. If the US tries to...

    In The Streets Of Tokyo

    Unless you are Japanese or have a lot of money, running a successful business in Japan is going to be hard. I mean I get it, wanting to live there wanting to explore other areas... But opening a business where most black folks won't even be able to partake seems a bit like a dumb move. Just my...

    Ladies, what satin/silk pillowcase do you use?

    I am trying to find a top-quality one. I have been using those $5 to $10 ones from Target for years and they never last. I usually have to replace them with new ones after 5 or 6 months. That and they don't seem to be doing my hair many favors according to their own claims. I want one that will...

    Modern Games are too long in playtime

    It depends. If your play style is to complete everything then yeah, a lot of them will be too damn long. I don't need to complete everything or unlock everything. My main focus is almost always the story. For most games that will not take nearly as long to complete. The stories themselves (if...

    GPU prices could fall dramatically in a matter of weeks

    Bout damn time. My setup is dated. I wanted to have an upgrade ready for Windows 11 but had to put it off because of the prices. I will be doing my first build once the prices are normalized. Fingers crossed that is real soon.

    Is This Not How Black People Treat One Another?

    I have known people like this. They just think cause they got matching skin tones they get a discount. Starting a business and building it to be successful doesn't happen when you are handing out discounts all over the place. If you want to haggle, go do so where you should be getting discounts...

    Waffle House

    Never been to one but I have witnessed something similar at an IHOP. A bunch of drunks gather at these spots cause they are open late or all night like Denny's. I guess Waffle House is the same? Cops showed up when we were going in and I thought they were making a bust but it turns out they...

    Moving Away From Cities?

    This is true. I mean there are a lot more jobs in and close to the city vs living out further. I mean if people are cool with a commute, you can be set up an hour outside the city and be living in a country-like setting but still close enough to access what you need. I know driving an hour to...

    Woman Reportedly Jumps Overboard of the Carnival Valor

    For real, something does not add up. I want to keep an eye on this. I get a bad feeling there was something real shady at play here. Does anyone know what area the boat they were on and what exact ship this was? I want to see pics.

    Woman Reportedly Jumps Overboard of the Carnival Valor

    How the hell are they going to be all "Oh, well that happened... Let's get back to normal."!? The jump doesn't make sense either. Why was she being arrested? There are a lot of missing details here that make no sense. Who the hell jumps over a dispute in a hot tub? A woman doesn't just take a...

    Moving Away From Cities?

    I think about this all the time. I see so many white people doing it, especially couples looking to raise kids in a safer area. I think it would be good for black couples to start making these moves as well. Looking at the state of cities across America, it is a nightmare. We have cops going...

    Waffle House

    So what, this is their new Dunkin Donuts hang out or something? I never trust a spot where cops frequent. These are the cops desperate to make quotas and they will always target black people when they aren't making enough arrests.

    So that's what apply pressure means

    Since it is on the topic, how do you all feel about people who specifically go after others who are in relationships? It seems to be a trend that is growing where younger men and women both target potential partners who are in relationships because their logic is that they would be only...

    Black Flora

    That may be down to it being on Amazon and trying to reach a larger audience. I think it is worth waiting until the book is released before we paint it in a negative light. Marketing always points in the direction of money so using keywords and phrasing like this is not a surprise.

    Black Flora

    This book is set to release on March 15th and is the first of its kind. It explores the culture, heritage, and empowerment behind black florists as well as what flowers represent for them. I have never seen a book like this. A friend was telling me about it. I have always had a thing for...
