Steve Harvey’s been… polarizing… for quite a while. You can go back as far as the whole problematic “Think Like a Man” campaign or as recent as his willingness to sit down with Donald Trump. He’s always doing something to make you raise an eyebrow or two.

During a January 6 episode of The Steve Harvey Show, the comedian found himself continuing a trope that’s long been a part of the comedy genre – emasculating Asian men. After commenting on a 2002 book entitled How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men, the veteran comedian and television host went off […]

To date, President-Elect Donald Trump’s interaction with Black people has been mostly limited to making vague promises from the safety of rooms full of white faces, painting inner cities as urban dystopias and posing for a few pictures with a couple black celebrities. Kanye West came under harsh scrutiny for meeting with Trump shortly after being […]

Everyone is freaking out after Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner of the Miss Universe pageant on Sunday evening. This is probably the first time that ever happened. This year was also the first time a contestant wore dreadlocks in the Miss World competition. Suffice it to say, it was an exciting weekend in the pageant world.

By Tynesha McCullers Some time ago, I was sitting in a room full of Black women in a sister circle. The purpose of the group was to discuss our experiences at work, our lives in general, and to find ways to support each other. This was probably the second time we had gotten together and […]

On an average day in an average month, the presence of misogynoir, even if frequent, is little more than irritating. The typical manifestations—mainly incidents in which a man of virtually any racial background gives disparaging remarks about Black women à la Bill O’Reilly—often make for an interesting, yet brief, groupchat-worthy discussion chock full of eyerolls.

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both responded to the death of Terence Crutcher over recent days. Upon seeing the video, both candidates expressed regret over his death. Although both Clinton and Trump concede that this particular instance was a tragedy, the candidates have very different understandings of the underlying issues behind police brutality.

Changing our hair has never been enough to protect Black people from anything in this country. The mere notion is unfounded and problematic. But that hasn’t kept some especially respectable Negros from suggesting otherwise. Last week, educator and television personality, Dr. Steve Perry, came under fire for suggesting that young Black people, specifically young Black men, […]

Last night, Bravo aired the finale episode of Ms. Kenya Moore’s inaugural twirl as a real housewife of Atlanta. And it, of course, was histrionically wonderful. Now, Moore has been at the center of several dramatic conflicts this season, serving beef to Kandi, my beloved Phaedra Parks, esq., and fellow rookie castmate, Porsha. Many have […]

During a recent interview on NPR, comedian and Obama stan, D.L. Hughley unequivocally confirmed his misogyny. D.L. Hughley says he genuinely does not like women. Seriously. Are you offended? Do you care? Is this just a ploy to sell books?
