The “N” Word
Lord knows, I’ve been working HARD on eliminating the “N” word from my vocab, but every once in a while I come across that ONE person who asks for it. I define the “N” as someone who is ignorant or ignant. This speech by this 11 year old boy (Johnathon McCoy) is really powerful. Its somewhat old, but it still needs to be heard. Take a listen!
Special thanks to Dominique

Presenting The Fearless Of “Young Black Holl...
After the Vanity Fair featured their “New Hollywood” issue, which triggered controversy due to its lack of ‘color’, a movie publicist by the name of Arian Simone was motivated to publish Fearless Magazine. Fearless Magazine is dedicated to the Fun, Fly, and Fabulous “trendsetting women who have endless love for urban culture”. The debut issue admires the women of color, who work of Young Hollywood today, including Kyla Pratt, Tia Mowry, Lauren London, Monique Coleman, Naturi Naughton, Jennifer Freeman, Chyna Layne and Tiffany Hines. Check out the behind the scenes footage from the “The Fearless Class of 2010″ shoot:

Marc Lamont Hill’s Open Letter To Slim Thug
Over at Loop21, Marc Lamont Hill posted an open letter to Slim Thug about his recent controversial blog with hurtful comments about Black women.
Even more disturbing was your comment that “Black women gotta start being down for their man more.” Since slavery, Black women have had to withstand rape, torture, and humiliation (from both white and black men) in order to sustain their families. Now, in 2010, 1 in 3 Black men between 20 and 29 years old are incarcerated or otherwise under criminal supervision. Every day, Black women are raising children without men in the house, working multiple jobs (for less pay!), and supporting brothers as they finish their prison bids.
With Black male unemployment as high as 50 percent in some cities, sisters are often holding down households without child support or other financial assistance. Black female incarceration rates are skyrocketing, partly because Black women are “riding” for their men, hiding guns and drugs, operating as mules, and refusing to snitch to authorities. In addition, Black women are the group most likely to be victims of domestic violence and the least likely to be married. Still, in spite of all this bad news, Black women are less likely to date outside their race than Black men.
How much more “down” do you want Black women to be?
Read the full letter
While Slim Thug did touch on some points, I think he should still give props where they’re due. Not all Black women are out for your evil & out for your money, and not all Black women have jacked up priorities. Shout out to Dr. Marc Lamont Hill for this open letter.
Special Thanks to Jasmine
