Is Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ A Rape Song?

Is Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ A Rape Song?

Just in case you've been living under a rock (Hi Funmie!), Robin Thicke's song, Blurred Lines is currently America's number one song. I love the song. But then, I love Robin Thicke, too. I can count on one hand how many albums I have bought with my money, and Robin Thicke's 2006 album, The Evolution Of Robin Thicke is one of them. His new hit song, Blurred Lines featuring T.I. and Pharrell is getting played and downloaded like crazy. Unfortunately, there are critics who say that the song Read More

George Zimmerman Acquitted, And I Am Mad As Hell

George Zimmerman Acquitted, And I Am Mad As Hell

Igwe and I came home a couple hours ago, turned on the television, and right there in white capital letters and a red background, we read, BREAKING NEWS. And then, on the next line, it said, GEORGE ZIMMERMAN NOT GUILTY." What?????????????

But this verdict was such a slap in the face that I would have rather had him sentenced to something, anything, even Read More

How To Keep Jehovah’s Witnesses From Knocking On Your Day

I don't think I have ever met a denomination as persistent as Jehovah's Witnesses. They hunt you down in the parking lot, stalk you in the grocery store, and invade your peace at home. There are times that I flat out say, "No, thanks." And then, other times I take whatever flyer they're giving, squeeze it, and put in the trash. I don't think I have actually ever bothered to read it. Maybe just the title, but nothing more than that. While I have not figured out a way to stop them from Read More

Lindsay Lohan Will Have A Show On OWN

Wait. What??? How's that even possible? Lindsay Lohan will sit with Oprah Winfrey for an exclusive interview. That's not surprising news. I mean, it's Oprah. But the shocker here is that Lindsay will be getting an eight-episodes docu-series on OWN. I don't understand. Lindsay Lohan on OWN? As in, the Oprah Winfrey Network? Shut the front door! The network's spokesperson confirmed, "OWN will air an exclusive interview with Oprah and Lindsay Lohan that will tape and air in August and an Read More

George Zimmerman: Self Defense Or Murder?

I say murder. We might have a verdict on this case as early as today. As much as I'd like to say that George Zimmerman is guilty because I feel it, the fact is that feelings ain't never convicted anyone. Well, that's not completely true. In fact, completely untrue. So I will say that considering the phone conversation between George Zimmerman and the police where he was clearly told to back down and he refused to, I'd say he went there with more zeal than he intended. Now, do I think that Read More
