Blacks in the Book: 7 Interesting World Record Holders
Knowing what you want in a partner is a good thing. Making up a bunch of crazy rules that eliminate 99% of the eligible bachelors around, however, is not. The more restrictions you create, the harder it will be to find someone. You could be bypassing a lot of good dudes because you don’t date guys who workout at the Y or because you won’t call a man until you’ve had his number for a week. Your process of elimination may be the reason why you’re single, especially if you fall into these dating ditches… Continue reading at MadameNoire.com

I once listened to an interview with Jill Scott in which she said she was hesitant about the social networking craze because these sites often used words like “friend”. And the word “friend” was very important to her. It carried weight and meaning. I can dig that. The word is thrown around too lightly. With the advent of social networking sites, the word has almost taken on a new meaning. Today a friend is someone who you’ve seen around once or twice but never actually had a decent conversation with. You have to be careful who you allow in your space, even if it is digital. The following people just might get the reject button with a side eye instead of a confirmation. ( Continue reading )

Until I was fourteen years old, I had one black friend. And she lived across the country. So, really, I had none. Growing up in predominantly white suburbs, I spent most of my days as the only black child in my class—the only black Brownie in my Girl Scouts troop; the only black girl on my softball teams; and, the one with “poufy” hair at slumber parties. Before it was cool, I wore Vans and rotated 311 with Kris Kross. I spent my high school years fitted in (Abercrombie and) Fitch, far away from the “black table,” nestled in as the token.

When Your Child Has No Black Friends…
As if isht wasn’t tense enough in NY today as it is… As of this morning, we’ve already had one flight diverted and one “suspicious package” discovered in the DC Metro area. So you all ready know isht is extra tense in New York today. Now, they’ve got this to add to the fray. Police are investigating reports that a mentally-disturbed military veteran could be on his way to Ground Zero. The parents of the North Carolina Army vet informed officers of their concerns and security services are taking the matter seriously, CNN reported. The fresh development comes as thousands of NYPD officers line the city’s streets on high alert over the risk of a terrorist attack on the the 10th anniversary of 9/11. FBI investigators are working furiously to establish the identities of three assailants referred to in the terror threat, after a suspicious object was discovered at Dulles International Airport near Washington yesterday. And a flight headed to Baltimore had to be diverted to Nashville after a passenger exhibited ‘suspicious behaviour’. Snipers are standing on the roofs of buildings overlooking the World Trade Center site as the memorial gets underway, with President Barack Obama in attendance. Roads are blocked and police checkpoints for both vehicles and pedestrians surround the memorial, with backpacks checked by bomb-sniffing dogs and put through x-ray machines. Government agents are continuing their search of travel documents in relation to the specific terrorist threat and security has been further heightened as a result.

Even though I’m not that old, I am pretty much old school when it comes to how little girls and boys should dress and behave. I was raised in the era of “stay out of grown folks business” and my mother never shopped in the same clothing store as me. In my hay day parents were parents and children were children, there was no blurry line or popularity contest between the two. Continued at MadameNoire.com

When you were a kid, did you ever complain to your mother that your arms and legs hurt for no apparent reason and her response was always “It’s growing pains!”. Although painful, you secretly suffered with excitement that you were growing up and changing into a woman. While these physical changes may have occurred during our puberty years, there are still some ‘growing pains’ taking place well into our adult life. These changes may not be as easily felt and obvious as physical ones, but they certainly make a difference and change who we are. As we mature there are a few things that inevitably grow and change right along with us. Mainly our priorities, wants and needs, friendships, patience, opinions, schedules, dress sizes and etc…. hit the top of the change list. These life factors are just a few of the ‘pains’ we must endure as we juggle our other life ailments and complications all the while trying to make sense of what is happening to us. Even though I could probably create a laundry list full of changes that occur as we become grown women, I will share with you the top five for now… Click Here To Read The Rest At MadameNoire.com
