My opinion on fake nails is mixed. I feel like they can look nice and really add a nice feminine touch to a woman's style but some of the nails I see women rocking are just awful. Like when you get them done and have them longer than a certain length, it just screams "trashy" to me. I have had mine done and I do enjoy it but I don't go overboard with it. This is a case where less is more and if you get more, it just looks terrible. It doesn't help I got an RN degree and know about the germs those long nails harbor either.

This looks nice:


This DOES NOT:


I want the opinions of both men and women here though. Like do you think they are classy or trashy?

What are you satisfied with the most, money or your job? What do you think is more important? I believe both are equally important and interlinked but work contentment is what I prefer the most as I like to learn new skills and challenge myself for the new tasks which eventually enhances my knowledge.

Who's going to watch this today? Looks like it's going to be a good episode.

By moving in silence I mean keep your goals and moves to yourself until they're done or set in stone. I was reading something that said it was important for women to do this because announcing your goals can sometimes put a target on your back and you'll have people trying to tear you down. I think this applies to any POC though, you never know who's waiting for you to slip up so they can knock you down. So do you keep your goals to yourself or do you announce them?

Alright, imagine you’ve been dating someone for a few months. Things are going well but no one has mentioned anything about a title. Should a man or woman bring up the topic? If someone asks, what are we…what do you say?

Sadly I hate to say it, but it seems like the Jake and Logan Paul has brought boxing back. Before them, it wasn't doing much of anything. Yeah we had Mayweather vs McGregor, but I feel like ever since these annoying Paul brothers came to the picture, boxing has gained so much popularity.

I hate these guys, but I gotta admit, without them, I feel like boxing wouldn't be this mainstream like it used to be.

But, I think it's also because people want to see these guys knocked out, and I think that's partly fueling the popularity these days.

Do you think Boxing is back? Or is it just a quick comeback before it's forgotten again?

Now that a lot of areas requires cops to wear body cams, it made me wonder if we should also wear a camera on us as well? I figure with how some cops can be sneaky, they could easily turn off a camera and do their worst as they are known to do sometimes.

But, what if we start to wear body cams as well, just as an added bit of protection? Having our phones is one thing, but we can always hid a hidden camera on us to better protect us from the lies cops may spew. I've been thinking of buying sunglasses that also work as a camera. I want to use it for vlogging, but I may use it to capture any wrongdoing cops may do if I'm in the area.

You guys remember this show? It's a competitive show where a general nobody would take on these buffed up dudes and women. If you can get past them or best them, you win. I remember watching the show growing up and how cool it would be to try the courses and challenges myself.

Who here remembers this show? Do you think you could have competed? They had this big black dude on the show and I remember always wanting to get as buff as him.

Our one and only queen Beyonce has turned 40 years old and it doesn't feel right. I feel so old, and yet one of the women I had a massive crush on growing up, is getting old too. But damn, she is still one hell of a gorgeous woman.


Here's to 40 more years and longer. May you live forever! :D Happy birthday to Beyonce! :)

I remember hearing the news of people showing interest in Idris Elba playing the new James Bond. I don't think he'll end up being a black James Bond, I think he'll have his own story to tell, with his own name and code word like 007. Maybe he can be the new 007 but will have a different name of course.

Idk, what do you guys think? Would you like to see Idris Elba take on the role next? Or will it go to some other white british dude?

I heard a statement made the other day that was along the lines of "doctors are to black women as police are to black men" and the comments on it were really eye opening. So many stories of women who struggled to get their doctors to listen to them and some had even lost family members due to not being listened to. I think it starts to create a really big problem where black women feel so worried about being brushed off by the doctor that they don't go at all. I also know that a lot of research isn't being done on how disease presents itself in black women. I feel like all of this is a silent killer that no one talks about. What do you think about it? Have you girls ever had any bad experiences?

I heard about this, someone I know brought it up. Does this mean we are going to finally get more information about what happened that day? And why wait 20 years? That seems a bit odd to me. I don't know man. This whole thing never sat right with me and I know I am not alone. Something fishy was going on that day and the days leading up to it. I doubt we will ever get the full truth of it. Probably just some spun-out story to give the US more of a reason to do stuff overseas and continue this so called war while Americans suffer.

Awhile back, some girls around here got attacked so I decided to keep a few things on me just in case. I have a pepper spray and one of those key chain alarms along with a few other things that I keep in my car. I also always make sure someone knows where I am if I ever go out alone. I feel like you can never be too careful these days!

I am just going to say it like it is... People like Cardi B are nothing but hood rats with money. They make us women look bad and give dudes some kind of false perception of how women should be and act, especially in a relationship. Since this behavior went mainstream in music, I noticed a growing issue with valuable black men not only casting away black women but actually dating and marrying white women. Some will go for Asian or Hispanic women but they show some kind of distaste for black women, as if these hoes represent all of us. I am sick of being labeled as undatable or "not marriage material" because of them. I know a lot of black women will follow this behavior and act like this but that doesn't mean we are all like that. You don't see this with any other race either. You don't just assume all white girls are drinking Starbucks. Like damn.

My worst experience isn't so much a date but after the date. The days after he constantly texted me all day, asking where I was and what I was doing. He got more and more aggressive in how he was asking and it felt like he just wanted someone he could possess rather than get to know and date. I ended up blocking him but it started getting really worrying after awhile.

I like to be chill when it comes to playing any sports. Whether it be baseball, basketball, or some other sport, I try not to get too competitive. I don't like getting into arguments anymore, and it usually just results in fights breaking out.

So if you're someone whois very serious about playing and winning, then I probably won't play with you. I like to be chill while playing.

I used to be competitive, but that was when I thought I was great. Nowadays people I play with, are often way better and skilled than me.

Have you met any sports stars in your lifetime? I walked by Shaq once when I went to a store in LA many, many years ago. He was in a hurry so I didn't get to say anything to him.

I'd love to meet LaDainian Tomlinson. I was a huge fan of his growing up, so meeting him would be awesome! But I would also love to meet Mike Tyson, Tom Brady, Calvin Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe (RIP), and more. What are some sports stars you'd love to meet? Or who are the stars you already met?

Back in the day I balled hard, playing basketball the most. I thought I could have been an NBA prospect one day, but nah, that wasn't going to happen. My left knee was badly damaged in a car accident after high school, so my career there was never going to go forward. Even though I don't think I would have made it on a college team even without the injury.

Anyway, I also played some football in high school, but didn't stick with it as I got a really bad concussion once and it put me off of any contact sports again. Basketball is something I still enjoy, even though my skills have went down since. It's all about fun for me these days.

In terms of clothing, how do you think both men and women should dress when in public?

I always felt like you could have different options according to where you are or what you are doing but you never want to dress in a way that you would feel uncomfortable walking into a church (or making others uncomfortable). Does that make sense? Some people will say you should dress for success 24/7. I don't think you need to walk around in a suit all the time as a man or in a conservative dress as a woman, but you should be tasteful in public.

Thoughts on this?

I was watching Tariq last night and he had a good show about when twerking is inappropriate. I personally think that twerking is not appropriate in space other than your personal private space (home/hotel room), a strip club, or an urban dance club. It’s a sexual dance and nothing about it is empowering Black Women unless the empowerment they are seeking is to look like a ratchet hoe.

What happened to class? What happened to dignity, composure, and grace? I’m not saying that women need to fit a box that I define but at the same time as a man, I do have the right to state what I do and don’t like. Also, as a leader I have the right to dictate what is good and bad in the culture I’m apart of. Women that act like this feel liberated but it rarely leads to good outcomes.

If you want to start a family and be with a classy, respectable, and determined man…do you think he wants a woman who doesn’t know when to not pop her ass? Ciara, Normani, and Meg the Stallion twerking at that Italian event was textbook degenerate behavior.

I’m in BK and my family and I are safe but I’m exhausted at this point and looking to relocate. To be honest, I used to downplay global warming but based on the past 5 years I think the impacts of greenhouse gases and etc are wreaking havoc on the Earth’s natural patterns.

Anyone here from New York, how you holding up?

Big time LSU fan here! Hype about this new season. Hoping that we turn it around from last year.

I had a big souped up thread all composed and typed, but I lost it and I’m not doing it over so oh well.

Let’s Geaux!

Have you ever gone to an NFL Super Bowl, NBA Finals, NHL playoffs, etc? I have not gotten to go to any major events yet, but I think it'd be cool to go to a Super Bowl once in my life, but I figure I'd rather wait for a team I actually like before going. As I don't want to just see any teams play.

What important events are you excited to see live? Oh and I'd add other events like WWE Wrestlemania (even though I wouldn't count it as a sport). I still count the event as a big event I think would be cool to attend.
