BLACK FATHERS ARE NO LONGER NEEDED?

I received a link to a very disturbing blog post this morning. After chatting with a gal pal about what we read, it seems that this “BLACK FATHERS ARE NO LONGER NEEDED” sentiment is common amongst young black women. I have my feeling on the situation, but there is not enough time in the day to blog about. There are many variables that I automatically take into consideration when I reflect on this issue from the cultural to the historical. This topic definitely deserves a roundtable discussion. Lets discuss… I’m curious to see what folks think. -!YG

US will appoint Afghan ‘Prime Minister’

This doesn’t sound like change or democracy to me. For the last 30-40 years US (European) Policy has slowly driven this country into a deep abyss.

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. -!YG

Beach Reading: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

I’m looking forward to cracking open this book when I touch the beach on Weds. Oscar Wao is a Pulitzer Prize winning book written by Junot Diaz and has received great reviews (per Jackie 😉 ). I wonder if this book will live up to all the hype. I will let you guys know my thoughts in a few days.-!YG

Valentino on Charlie Rose

This was a dope interview.. I can’t wait to see the film next week. Valentino is a true fashion icon who did it his way. A lot of the new jacks could learn a lot from watching his movements. Check out this interview and become inspired. -!YG
