Tune In on MSNBC!
I wrote the article entitled, “A Black Woman’s Life of the Mind is Her Own” for Ebony.com and received a great deal of feedback. Thankfully, it was published on the same day that Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry engaged in a “Mad Free” curated event at the Brooklyn Museum by Michaela Angela Davis. Further, it was but one day prior to the debut of “Melissa Harris-Perry,” her new show on MSNBC.
The synergy led to a discussion on Twitter about the Ebony article, the live-tweeting of the #MadFree event at the Brooklyn Museum, a post-event discussion and a focused debate between myself (@DrGoddess) and Dr. Imani Perry (@ImaniPerry), a Princeton professor and a noted protege’ of Dr. Cornel West, as well as a scholar-activist in her own right.

Anthropologist, Writer, Novelist, Storyteller, Playwright, Dancer, Southerner Extraordinaire, Zora Neale Hurston, was born on January 7, 1891.
She was a phenomenal woman, a renaissance woman, a fierce woman, artist and human being.
So, naturally, Twitter celebrated her birthday with glee.

"I got a right to be hostile, these people are stealin'!"
In addition to other talents & skills (web page developer, graphic design, AIDS activist, AwesomelyLuvvie.com), Luvvie Ajayi (@luvvieig on Twitter) is a comedic writer and creator of DumbestTweets where you can get a daily dose and more of the way the American Educational system has failed its children. From stunning misspellings to appalling logic, it’s all there for us to witness. Here’s an example from the website:

DumbestTweets are both sad and amusing, which is why we love it so much. Luvvie began cataloguing with a low-key but brilliantly funny woman, @MissZindzi. They started with individual tweets and posts and then Luvvie moved on to full time well over a year ago, so much so that DumbestTweets were...

Franchesca Ramsey (@chescaleigh) made a video entitled, “Shit White Girls Say to Black Girls” and posted it on her YouTube Channel.
This hilarious video by this hardworking actress went viral.
@ChescaLeigh's Vid Went Viral
Perez Hilton COULD have embedded her video on his site and given her attribution; but instead, he uploaded it to his own site and never gave her any credit.
When she confronted him, all hell broke loose on Twitter, in general and Black Twitter, in particular.
Perez decided to take it down, instead of uploading her YouTube video, giving her credit, apologizing and offering some restitution.
He’s Shameful. The Takedown is hilarious and filled with him getting cussed out, raging ridicule, overall public shaming and even curses from The Color Purple.

Kwanzaa Time
This article was originally published in December, 2003.
It never fails. Every single year for the past six years, at least, I
have witnessed the consistent pattern. On or before Dec. 26, the first
day of Kwanzaa, someone will send me an anti-Kwanzaa editorial
published, you guessed it, just in time for the holiday season! At all
times, the conclusion is the same–there is no real or valid reason to
celebrate Kwanzaa.
This year’s offering was written by Debra Dickerson, journalist,
lifetime overachiever and author of “An American Story.” Her article
entitled, “A Case of the Kwanzaa Blues” appeared in The New York Times opinion section Dec. 26. This article is my response.
At the very least, she begins her essay with a more balanced approach than most– admitting that all holidays are...

Greetings Everyone,
I’m reprinting an article from a colleague because we both used to write or Africana.com, it was sold to AOL Black Voices and, well, our articles disappeared.
But it’s Christmas time and you’ll see that understanding the Dutch, Sinterklaas and Black Pete will be well worth your time. History is important, especially when the Dutch get all ahistorical (see: Rihanna Gives Heat to Jackie Magazine for Their Racist Dutch Oven).

This is NOT an Error
Once upon a time, yet another international magazine decided to print racist / white supremacist words and imagery regarding a Black artist and then issue an “oops, did we do that?” apology, as if that would be enough to make protestors go away. Well, both @thefashionbomb and @theybf wrote blogs here and here (with a followup here) to let everyone know about it. There was also an Afro-European Blog that sent me their link later on but I appreciate it! Then @luvvieig wrote one of her stern letters, which I love, basically asking what Queen Latifah asked a long time ago—Who You Callin’ a [N*ggab*tch]?!! .
Oh yeah, the editor first said we were all being too sensitive, then later apologized on Facebook like this:
