Reflections on Young Black America, MLK and Miley Cyrus
Interesting week. Miley Cyrus trying out for the twerk team, football players losing their minds, and much more to cover so let’s chop it up. Riley Cooper is an idiot “‘l will fight every ni**er in here”.

Sad thing is 90% of his teammates are black, and believe it or not, some supported his apology while others didn’t. This arguably temporarily left a locked room divided. He did take a leave of absence from the team, but it goes to show you the word and racism…

Is it Important to Be Married Before Having Children?
Stephanie and Alonzo are co-workers and they’re both expecting children at the same time. Stephanie is married, meanwhile Alonzo isn’t. Over the course of a few months they would talk about the commonalities of her (Stephanie’s) and his girlfriend’s respective pregnancies. “Is your wife doing breathing classes”? “Did you guys pick out a name?” “I’m craving X,Y,and Z, what about her?” Not long after their children were born, Stephanie went to Alonzo and asked him about his wife and how she is doing. A co-worker overhead and chimed in with, “Alonzo’s not married, that’s only his girlfriend”. Stephanie suddenly got on her soapbox and called Alonzo out: “Wait… you’re not…

A Rant on Bad Sex, ‘Good’ Food, Race and Violence
Yes here I go thinking again, and I wanted to share my views on some things that have happened recently, things that are on the dome, and just random rants as well. Dress the part play the part As I’ve grown older the club scene for me has become relatively non-existent, with the exception if one of my fellow brothers has an event. Then I’ll attend and support/celebrate. Recently I went to an outing where there was no dress code and people acted like there was no conduct code as well (although I did enjoy the music). For one, I prefer getting a little snazzy when I go out, but…
