I gleefully ran my hands up his bare chest; his washboard abs made it easy to forgive his Justin Beiber- hairstyle. He traced his lips up the side of my neck, gently tugged on my earlobe with his teeth and whispered into my ear, “I love your skin.” Supreeth wasn’t the first one to tell me this; previous suitors had told me numerous times that my skin feels like butter– a true testament to my moisturizing regimen. At least this is what I thought Supreeth…

Footage posted online shows two officers questioning the teen, Gyasi Hughes, inside Round Rock High Schoo. One of them can be seen holding Hughes back as he attempts to walk away. That officer then grabs Hughes by the throat…

When commuting to and from work on crowded trains, it’s hard not to overhear other people’s conversations. One in particular this morning that caught my attention was between two women contemplating if woman #1 should take back her man, whom she apparently discovered had cheated on her. Woman #1 was clearly hurt and confused and had no idea what she should do. Woman #2, however, didn’t hesitate to give #1 her advice: give him another chance. When…

Fresh from his announcement of nominating the first openly gay US Army secretary, President Obama presented a speech fully dedicated to Black women at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner on Saturday night (Sept. 19).

Moms, what would you do in a situation like this?

One set of South Carolina parents are likely reevaluating their childcare options after footage of a 15-year-old girl with her toe hanging out of their 7-month-old’s mouth was posted on SnapChat.

Last year, many of us found ourselves taken with the story of the White lesbian couple who were suing the Midwest Sperm Bank for giving them the wrong specimen. You may remember that though the couple asked for sperm from a White, male donor, they received a sperm from a Black man. And their daughter Payton is biracial.

The sperm bank issued the women a full refund for the six vials but Jennifer Cramblett, the woman…

There's a certain stereotype that follows men of color collectively, wherever they go, no matter what they do. It's the notion that they're deadbeats, thugs or just simply not that involved in their community.

DeVaughn Ward and Pastor AJ Johnson know these stereotypes all too well, so they planned an event that puts those notions to shame — just in time for the first day of school. After seeing a group of men…

Hair care is big business, especially within the African-American community. As a matter of fact, it has been reported that ‘more robust growth’ is expected within the next five years. 2013 saw a 7% increase in the $2.7 billion industry for black hair products.

In order for companies to take advantage of consumers within the black hair care industry, they are doing what is necessary to understand how black…

I know, I know. Former rapper Luther Campbell, the man who brought us such vulgar classics as “Me So Horny” and who, along with the other members of 2 Live Crew, once professed to be “As Nasty As They Wanna Be” isn’t exactly the staple of the community one would turn to in times of socio-political and economic strife for answers. But every now and then you have to separate the man from the message. Admittedly, I can’t say for sure if this is one of…

Yesterday, Pastor Dee Franklin from St. Stephen Baptist Church in Houston posted a photo on her Facebook page of a woman that came to her church dressed so indecently her backyard was totally revealing and the curve was like that of a professional stripper ready to go down the pole.

some people attacked the pastor while some said its ok. It was a dramatic scene..

Idris Elba Becomes First Man To Cover Maxim (PICS) 

Anthony Horowitz, the latest author behind the debonair, crime-fighting, gadget-wielding super-spy that is James Bond, thinks fan favorite Idris Elba wouldn’t be the right person to take on the icon. Why? It isn’t about color, Horowitz insists, but because Elba is “too rough” — nay, “too street”– to play the part.

Everyone must admit that they get a little irritated when they order something at a fast food drive-thru, and the customer is always right. But does that mean drag the McDonalds worker who took your order out the window by the hair? MStars News has learned that a viral video was released, showing an altercation at a fast food restaurant where two girls went head to head. As a result, the woman working at the drive-thru window was pulled into the…

Well, damn. This isn’t something you see everyday at a boxing press conference. “Sugar” Shane Mosley and Ricardo Myoraga are slated to go head-to-head for the second time this Saturday (Aug. 29). With the fight lacking any sort of zeal and appeal, Myoraga decided to rev things up.

During their press conference on Tuesday (Aug.25), Mosley’s girlfriend bent over in front of Myoraga, who proceeded to give her a little…

“The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.”

"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have," the incomparable Maya Angelou once said. The iconic American author, poet, dancer, actress -- and artist -- was also an avid art collector. Housing powerful works by figures like Jacob Lawrence, Faith Ringgold and Romare…

In Cameroon, “breast ironing” is a custom in which various objects are heated and placed upon the budding breasts of a pre-teen girl in an attempt to halt development and in turn make her less attractive to men. Parents have continued this tradition usually performed by other family members or community healers for years, fearing that if they don’t their daughters will become sexually active and suffer a host of consequences as a result. But the practice…

You’re in the bedroom; he’s unzipped and the moment of truth is at hand. But whether it’s your first time or you’re anything but a newbie when it comes to sex, these are the thoughts that run through every woman’s head when she first gets a glimpse of what a guy is packing…

People who believe discrimination in America is a thing of the past need only look to the district attorneys of the South to prove themselves wrong. Not only are there a disproportionate amount of black defendants in the court systems there, there are also a disproportionate number of black citizens allowed to be on the juries of their peers.

According to a New York Times study, the Caddo Parish, Louisiana, court…

When most women have wardrobe malfunctions, they're supposed to respond by tittering adorably, slipping the offending body part back into its garment and apologizing, because they're ladies and that's what ladies are supposed to do.

If you're a dude and a ball or two happens to slip out of your gym shorts, you throw your head back in laughter and let your junk roam wild and free. That applies doubly if you're…
