This year has already been VERY interesting in terms of professional sports colliding with homophobia. In January, at the Super Bowl, a San Francisco 49ers cornerback named Chris Culliver was asked how he would respond to having a gay teammate to which he replied:
"I don't do the gay guys man. I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah."
And the ... Read More

Growing up in a West Indian family, you are liable to be teased about EVERY-BLOODCLAAT-THING that you do, and everything that you are - it's just how things work. I never had a problem with that because I was born with a thick skin and a HUGE sense of humour, so finding the comedy in ANYTHING is easy for me, even when I'm the butt of the joke. When I was young, I was SO DAMN SKINNY that people in my family ... Read More

Honestly, as much as I don't know Charles Ramsey, I LOVE the man for everything I DO know about him. First and foremost, he's a HERO in every sense of the word regardless of what ANYONE says. We live in a society (especially those of us in large cities), where we are inherently taught to mind our own business and practice self-preservation over intervening in other people's problems. The fact that he chose to go OUT of his way to facilitate the ... Read More

Last week, 33 students from the Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego were suspended for making a p*ssy-popping video on school grounds, using the school equipment to record it, and screaming out “Welcome to the Scripps Ranch High School Twerk Team!” all in the video. As anyone who frequents this site should know by now, the T-word is NO LONGER allowed to be used (it rhymes with "work" and it's the first word in the name of a ratchet dance crew). ... Read More

The picture above is from Mountain Dew's new commercial created by "rapper" Tyler The Creator. I would love to show you a clip of the video, but that is NOWHERE to be found on these E-streets because it's been pulled by Mountain Dew's parent company, PepsiCo. Why you ask? Because after 1 short day of being on the internet, it was lauded by Dr. Boyce Watkins as "The Most RACIST commercial ever". Read More

It's clearly understood in our modern day society that men's THIRST levels are at an all-time high. Dudes out here are so damn PARCHED that we do ignorant and frowsy-sh*t like going on Instagram, liking 14,543 girls pictures and leaving all types of dehydrated ass replies like "bae please let me sniff the skidmarks on yo' panties girl! I swear fo' God I'd pay cash money just to floss wit yo' thong!". Now it can be debated that the THIRST has always ... Read More

Typically after I wake up I log into Twitter (as I do every morning) just to check my mentions, DM's and see what's up with my E-friends, and lastly I take a peek at what's trending just to see if I missed anything while I was sleeping. Well yesterday I woke up to an interesting trending topic involving NBA center Jason Collins. Apparently Jason decided to come out of the closet in the latest Sports Illustrated, making him the first openly gay ... Read More

The picture above was taken on Monday at Beyonce's first tour stop in Belgrade, Serbia and apparently, she is rocking a sequinned body suit with artificial nipples. How did I come across this picture you ask? Well, everyday people send me news articles that they find funny, and one post that a reader sent me from Huffington Post was called "An Open Letter To Michelle Obama: BTW Beyonce Is No Longer A Role Model". Now I don't want to get too much ... Read More

Yesterday, I had a very interesting day interacting with people on social media sites about living expenses and what you need to be GOOD - or functionally BROKE. The day started off with someone emailing me an article about how half of New York City is living is poor and living just at, or below, the poverty line. Honestly, I never really knew NYC was like that, and I've spent a LOT of time in that city (not in enough diverse crowds ... Read More
