  • BLACK MAN'S PERSPECTIVE: What’s Your Legacy?
    I believe a legacy can brighten the future.
    Legacy is defined in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as “something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor from the past.” We commonly hear about legacies “living on” today when they continue to affect those in the present.
    Given these terms, a legacy is not something that we have complete control over. After all, we cannot control how other people perceive us, we can only control our own actions.
    So how can we leave the world with a legacy of our choosing?
    What we must do is inspire through our own actions. If you go back through time and analyze the most influential legacies, you’ll see that they all inspired action through their own action. They didn’t just think about doing things, or tell others to do them; they went out and got things done on their own!
    These legacies began while they were still alive, except I’m sure they weren’t thinking about them in those terms. The

  • 360 DEGREES: Shut it Down! Government! Monique! Kardashians!
    How is it that the government shutdown is the fault of the Democrats win all of the government is a controlled by the Republicans? Trump indicated a year or two ago that if there is a government shutdown it is the fault of the president. Trump indicated back then, that there would never be a government shut down under his watch… Maury indicated that was a lie! 👨🏾‍💻. What is Monique thinking? Boycott Netflix? I think not… Humble yourself sister you are not even worth what they gave you\offered you… Nobody has checks for you in years. When was the last time we saw you? Precious? Great performance but not your best work thus far I’m sure. Your body of work is impressive… But you haven’t done anything in a long time and therefore should be happy with what you get. You are not Amy Schumer. You are not Chris Rock. You are not David Chapelle? you wanna hit like any of these people to expect millions… When was the last bi

  • HE SAID/SHE SAID: No Laughing - The Misogynoir of Crossdressing IG "Comedians"
    It could be said that men dressed in drag is one of the oldest tricks in the book to get a laugh. Comedians and actors are like have donned dresses and wigs in movies and television shows, raking in millions, largely at the expense of women. Lately however we have seen many more doing this on social media in order to get a laugh and to do it at the expense of black women. They do so by being hyper sexualized, madly, purposely unattractive, brass, bad wigs, neck Roland, and casual use of the word bitch and whole. @blameitonkway does via a modern day “blackface” as well as the ghetto typical displaying of @tim_bae as well as more...

  • BMP: Manomaniacs
    What is it to be a man during these tumultuous times? Why do they fear us? Why do they hate us? Why are they trying to annihilate us? Why aren’t we doing better? Why are we making the same mistakes over and over again? How can we do better? What will it take for us to be empowered once again? What would it take for us to be the Kings we once were?

  • 360 DEGREES: Genuwine(ly) What the F**k Trump? Shut your sh*thole! 💩
    The crew talks about everything from Genuwine and The backlash against him because he refused to kiss a transgender… But if he had forced himself upon a female like she did on him, he would be part of that #MeToo movement scandal... just another case of double standards in America. They also talk about Trump And his plot to kill all minorities… At least that’s the way it seems by his policy. What was that statement about calling those countries shit holes anyway?
