There's a lot going on in the world that's catching my attention right now.
When I saw the commerical for this I was on it. In this unprecedented four-part PBS series, African-American Lives, explores how many of us are unaware of the stories of our individual ancestors. Host and narrator Henry Louis Gates, Jr. helps his guests , which includes Quincy Jones, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Tucker, and Bishop T.D. Jakes, trace their roots and history. Call me emotional but seeing the commercial caused prideful tears to swell up in my eyes. I'm going to do all I can to catch it.
Another tv show that I'm looking forwa
rd to seeing everyone's reaction 
to is Black. White. which is an upcoming originial series on FX Networks with Ice Cube as an Executive Producer. The premise is that a black family and white family trade races and are able to "really" experience how the other lives. I haven't wrapped my feelings around this one quite yet but what I heard last fall about it, and I already suspected, is that the white family are the ones who have the hardest time with their experience and the black family felt as if they didn't learn anything new. This should be interesting ...to say the least. Once it airs be sure to stay tuned I'm definitely going to have a lot to say on it.I love BRAVO's Inside the Actor's Studio and I love Dave Chappelle. So when I heard that Dave would be on the show to dispell the rumors I was more than happy. Check out the video clips Dave definitely drops some gems of knowledge. It's scheduled to air Sunday, February 12 8:00 PM and again Sunday, March 5 8:00 PM. Dave's also on Oprah this Friday.
Coretta Scott King is one of our ancestors now and her passing hit me hard because during my research project for Northeastern's online exhibit I discovered that the university honored Mrs.King with an honorary degree during the height of the university's racial conflict. I was also deeply effected because slowly but surely our leaders are aging. As I get older I wonder who among us will pick up the torch.I'm definitely going to catch my girl Sanaa's Something New. I support all of
her projects and feel that she's one of the best actresses in the industry...black or white. period. Word on the street is that a lot of brothas love Sanaa but definitely don't have love for her character falling for a white man. Something New is another topic I haven't quite wrapped my feelings around yet. I'm going to save all comments and opinions till after I see it this Friday.I signed up for this and I'm hoping that I get picked to attend. Boston in need of a serious intervention immediately.
Mr.West being Mr. West.
This is basically biting off of this and this. Tsk..tsk..tsk.
Question: Am I a trader if my darling is rooting for the Seahawks and I have a feeling that the Steelers will win on Sunday? Just asking.....oh and for the two of you who are faithful to this blog--lol-- Mr.Man is currently Mr. My Boyfriend.

yes someone else waits for this irregular "crap" pops. not all of us can post everyday all day. and you know it's not crap stop fronting.
Hey there, yeah when Black. White. comes out there should be tons to talk on...I have to wait until the first show airs before I can give everyone the DL...but just you wait, it was one hell of an experience to be part of!
well obviously this crap keeps me coming back, the lack of more crap no withstanding.
Sanaa was on fire until her recent project....add me to the list of haters with her kissing a white man. I vomitted when Halle had sex with Billy Bob Thorton in Monster's Ball.
