The story of Brian Banks, a young man who was imprisoned for 5 years for on rape charges until his accuser recanted her story, is not completely over yet. I've written about Brian's story on this website before, and one of my main questions was 'how does he get to go free, but the woman responsible for his false imprisonment is still walking around free and able to spend the $1.5 million dollars she won in her suit against the Long Beach ...

Yesterday my homegirl told me that she read a blog on Clutch stating that there's a sushi restaurant in Alexandria, VA (my favourite part of VA - sorry, Richmond) that DOES NOT allow anyone under 18 inside. And this is a REGULAR sushi bar, just like anyone you've ever been to before, but they decided that they want it to be strictly an ADULT environment and that makes my CHILDLESS ass happy as hell. Before, the only way you could eat somewhere ... Read More

Last Friday was the Battle of The Sexes event here in Toronto before the tour keeps moving to NYC, DC, ATL and LA and, as usual, MANY beautiful women were in attendance. There were also some great vendors such as Diana Tracy Designs and there was one really cool middle aged white dude who was marketing sex toys. When I caught up with him outside he was talking to some young women about his products and when he started asking them inquisitive ... Read More

Three years ago, I wrote on this very blog that men who are GREAT fathers are extremely underrated in our society, and nothing shows that fact more CLEARLY than Father's Day. See, when I wrote that blog three years ago, the general vibe around Father's Day was "meh, why give these damn dudes an entire day for doing what they are SUPPOSE to be doing!" which was a very frustrating sentiment. But to be honest, even THAT statement is a HUGE upgrade ... Read More

Last week I started this Saturday post series titled "This Week At Uptown" where I highlight posts I write for UptownMagazine.com and since I didn't post any this week, I wanted to catch you up on the post I wrote BEFORE I began this series. I took an in-depth look into why some men get their Usain Bolt on the SECOND a woman even mentions anything about commitment. Read More

As I write this, I am STRUGGLING to regain my old sleep schedule as I am less than 48 hours removed from Oakland and my ass is officially getting KICKED trying to transition from Pacific time to Eastern time. As some of you may know, I was out in The Bay for the first stop in the 2013 Battle Of The Sexes Tour and the event went REALLY well. Everyone had a great time, I managed to make a LOT of new ...

Today I'm going to write my opinion on WHY I believe fewer and fewer heterosexual marriages are going to occur in the future between people of ALL races living in our modern western society, whom are interested in finding a significant other based on LOVE (not arranged marriages, business unions, etc.). Before I begin, let me unequivocally state that I am NOT a love pessimist NOR am I anti-marriage. I don't follow studies that claim marriage is statistically BOUND to fail. I ... Read More

The last time I wrote about teenage girls getting access to birth control pills in New York, the conversation was framed a little differently. This was the crux of the debate: The New York City Department of Education is making the morning-after-pill available to high school girls at 13 public schools. The DOE says girls as young as 14 will be able to get the Plan B emergency contraception without parental consent. Parents have been notified about the CATCH pilot program and how ... Read More

I don't have any real substantive issues with Rev. Al Sharpton as I believe he actually does care about the advancement of the Black community, but I also think he's a HUSTLER whose done an amazing job of building a great career off the backs of tragedies. With that said, I don't make any special point of tuning into his show PoliticsNation but last night I saw a VERY interesting advertisement for his program on The Grio. They were having Myrlie Evers-Williams ... Read More

Last night I watched an episode of Issa Rae's new series "How Men Become Dogs" and this episode was called "Two Bones In A Bowl" which is suppose to represent how women's attraction to a man is heightened by a perceived sense of competition from other women. Now, I can say that I DON'T agree with that as a generalization of MOST women, because many grown women are so sensitive to the possibility that they're being played, that their spidey-senses will go ...
