		<title>What If Women Thought About Sex Like Men?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The good folks over at Colorlines made my week by posting this video of &#8220;Sh*t Steve Harvey Says&#8221; &#8211; which is not a parody of things Steve Harvey would say, but clips of things Steve Harvey has actually said. If Steve Harvey didn&#8217;t actually exist, we&#8217;d have to invent him. In these clips, Harvey plays [...]]]></description>

		<title>Difficult Moms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mother was difficult. For one, my mother hated us making a fuss over her. You couldn&#8217;t buy her anything. Buy her an expensive outfit? She&#8217;d never wear it. Buy her flowers? She&#8217;d smile that I&#8217;m-supposed-to-be-nice-but-what-is-this? smile of hers. A few months later, you&#8217;d go to her house and see flowers in her garden ten [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Are Black Women Fat?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alice Randall, author of the &#8220;Gone With the Wind&#8221; parody &#8220;The Wind Done Gone&#8221; and the new novel &#8220;Ada&#8217;s Rules,&#8221; set off a firestorm with this head-scratching pronouncement in an recent New York Times op-ed, &#8220;Black Women and Fat&#8221; (which also appeared under the title &#8220;Why Black Women Are Fat&#8221;): &#8220;What we need is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Devil You Know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pressures at work. Pressures at home. Kids gone wild. Panic. So I took a break, of sorts. I put certain plans on hiatus, dialed back some of my goals, and chilled. But life has a funny way of fucking up your best laid plans. And so it was that I found myself in the ER [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brian McKnight’s Adult Mixtape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, R&#38;B singer Brian McKnight posted a video on YouTube that he said was a preview of an &#8220;adult mixtape.&#8221; The song performed in this video features the chorus, &#8220;Let me show you how your p***y works.&#8221; Apparently, Brian McKnight has become either an ob-gyn or the Vagina Whisperer in those off-years since his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interview With the Vapid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Trayvon Martin case has brought racist backlash to a new low. Apparently, my Trayvon Martin post on CNN enraged those who insist that a teen walking home from 7-11 with a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona Iced Tea was a hardened thug who deserved to be shot, even if he wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s Not the Clothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was in middle school and high school, thick gold chains, like the ones worn by Run DMC, were all the rage. Few of us could afford the gigantic rope chains that the rappers wore, but fat herringbone chains were the necklace of choice for the rest of us. Then dudes started snatching gold [...]]]></description>

		<title>CNN: Trayvon Martin, not George Zimmerman, was engaged in self-defense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(CNN) – Imagine the following scenario: You are a 17-year-old boy in Sanford, Florida. You are visiting your father and his fiancée at your soon-to-be stepmother’s home in a gated community. You decide to make a late-night candy run to your local 7-Eleven. It’s nighttime and drizzling, so you are wearing a hooded sweatshirt. At [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tragic Case of Trayvon Martin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I avoided news coverage of the Trayvon Martin case for the first few days it was in the news. The story of Martin, the 17-year-old who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader who found Martin “suspicious” – hit too close to home. Trayvon’s family has released a ton of photos [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talking Divorce on The Michael Baisden Show</title>

You can listen to the show at the link below. I was thrilled that the producers of The Michael Baisden Show reached out to [...]]]></description>
