Around These E-Streets (XIII)
White women being included in the natural hair movement is wrong. Period. Jamilah Lemieux of Ebony agrees with me.
Mylah has released another banger. Listen to "All On Me" now. Get into her.
Zendaya has dropped out of the Lifetime biopic. She is reportedly being replaced by Erika Perry. I have no clue who Perry is. Or even if this movie will truly ever get made.
Another day, another video of a cop beating an unarmed person. This time the victim was a Black woman. I have no words. You can read about it here.
Levar Burton started a "Reading Rainbow" kickstarter. He initially wanted to raise $1 million dollars to bring the program back. He raised that amount in a day. The kickstarter raised $5.4 million plus a $1 million from Seth MacFarlane of "Family Guy" fame. Read all about it here.
Wanna learn how to be a woman? There's an article for that. Read it here.
You know how White folks LOVE to claim they discovered something that already existed years before they ever knew of it? Like America, rock n roll, twerking, etc. There is a term for it now: "columbus-ing."
Someone not so bright thought that giving Robin Thicke control of the VH1 twitter handle to answer questions via the #AskThicke was a good idea. They were so wrong. It ended up being a PR nightmare. Get into it.
Sometimes there are gems in the rants of Kanye West. Granted, I don't want to hear those rants in the middle of a concert. But, nonetheless, Ye had something to say at the #WirelessFestival. The last paragraph is the best. Read it.
Samsung's newest phone has sprung a leak. It's the Galaxy F, a high end upgrade of the Galaxy S series. It looks amazing and I want it.
The Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision is just wrong. It's a slippery slope that will lead to nowhere good in my opinion.
