Are any Black men watching “The Best Man” limited series on the Peacock App? I am asking because all that I have been reading are high praises from tons of Black women who have watched it and in quite a few cases, more than two times. Hmmm, there must an interracial relationship or a LGBTQPIA element or black men are being portrayed as being irresponsible, intellectually inept, aggressively patriarchal or misogynistic somewhere in this series in order for the women to love it so much. 

The last Best Man movie was it for me. When the professor’s wife was shown about to suck off some college white boys and when Nia Long literally fought with the BETA male director, Malcolm D. Lee, to give her character a white love interest, I was done with those movies. I don’t trust Malcolm D. Lee as the writer or director. 

The first one is my favorite and the only one that I will continue to watch. I don’t know about anyone else, but images as they relate to how black men, black women and black relationships are portrayed in movies and on television MATTER to me. 

Nope. I have not watched it. No plans to watch it either. I tend not to watch these APP movies. The foolishness is real.  I will just stick to ION tv. Chicago PD, Chicago Fire, Law and Order SVU, Blue Bloods, and NCIS Los Angeles never disappoint.

The Greatest Pain I've Ever Felt: The Conversation with my Absent biological father who never wanted to be found.

The Greatest Pain I Had Ever Felt occurred over 25 years ago while I was still a student at Grambling State University. I will never forget the night that changed everything for me. I remember I was working nights, after class, at the university’s health center in the cleaning department as a work-study student in Grambling State University’s student work-study program to earn extra money to pay for books, food and other living expenses. I liked working there because when I would go on breaks, I would casually slip into one of the nurse’s offices and talk on the phone while my supervisor would be in the break room eating and talking with the nurses who were working the night shift. Well, on this particular night, I discovered that I could make long distance phone calls courtesy of the university health center. The first person I called was my favorite aunt Patricia who lived in Dallas. We started our conversation with me sharing about how things were going for me at college. Then, I a...

I Wonder If Jeremy Brown were Trans.

 I Wonder If #JeremyBrown were Trans.  6/28/2023 I wonder if the cheering of Jeremy Brown’s murder would be as loud and sanctimonious if he were a trans woman (a dude that identifies as a woman) punching a biological black female as a result of a heated argument. I wonder if Black men and black women would hold the trans woman to the same standard of, “A real man never argues with a woman.” I wonder if the Black females DA in Chicago, Kim Foxx, would have completely dropped ALL charges and as quickly as she did if the murdered person were trans. I wonder if the description of “murdered victim” would be stripped away from Jeremy Brown if he were trans.  I am wondering about this because I rarely hear or read anywhere where the Black community raises it voice about the dudes who wear wigs who often verbally or physically assault biological women in this country. The trans women have even joined women’s sports such as MMA kick boxing to “legally” pummel women. Yet, I only se...

Dear, GSU President Search Committee.

I sure hope that this time an actual search for Grambling’s next President will be conducted unlike seven years ago. The next President does not have to be a Grambling graduate. They already tried that. However, if should happen to be a Grambling graduate, make sure they understand and actually promote HBCU/Black culture and Black consciousness at Grambling State university on a daily basis.  For the next President, would it be possible to select a person with a Ph.D, who has years of experience in working at a university especially a HBCU as a Professor, a VP for Student Affairs, VP for Academic Academic Enhancement, VP and Provost, a Dean of students or a President of a university, especially a HBCU? Would it possible that the next President of Grambling to have some knowledge of recruitment of Black students? Not only in certain parts of Louisiana, but all over the country? Grambling is a national and global phenomenon. Could the next be a person who sees great value in having L...
