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.

So Drake's newest album dropped today I believe and it's titled Certified Lover Boy. It has a pretty plain cover, but that doesn't really matter. How are the songs so far?

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.

I am always playing basketball with my friends and family on the weekends. I don't usually get to play much of anything during the week, so I always make sure to go out and play with friends on the weekends.

I have been thinking of joining a local baseball league, as I used to play it as a kid but haven't since. Maybe it's time I get back into that. Other than that, I did play football in high school, but I won't be playing that these days. Too many knee injuries playing. So I'll pass the ball around, but that's about it. What about you guys?

I think Colin Kaepernick has tried to land a team for a while now, but it's been a no go. In fact, didn't he outright retire not too long ago? Either way, that doesn't mean the guy is for sure done. Do you think a team will ever take a chance on the guy? Or is he forever done in the NFL? I want to see him make a comeback before his career is deemed lost.

Do you think a team will ever take a chance on him?

The Packers were dealing with a lot of drama recently with the possibility of Aaron Rodgers bouncing, but he has come back. Well, that's not 100% true, because he has to complete his contract up to 2022, so once this season is over, he can leave. But do you think they will try to keep him around? Or will they finally move on from Rodgers?

Who could take over at QB? I don't see Jordan Love becoming the new Aaron Rodgers.

If you are familiar with Bioshock, think something like that. Like small towns all underwater. I feel like people are panicking more and more about running out of space so they might start looking to build underwater housing and stuff like that. I mean I think that would be cool but I would be too nervous to ever want to live there. One small leak and end up causing a lot of damage. Flex tape won't fix that either lol

Who’s your favourite black American singer? I adore Beyoncé for a couple of years now because her raps are deep and support women empowerment in the community.

Yooooooooo! If you voted for this racist piece of trash this is on you. Everyone was talking abut how bad Trump's racism was and this dude is calling Cedric Richmond a "boy". Even more despicable is Cedric Richmond nodding his head in seeming agreement at the term.

Or will they fall back to a losing team. Last season was one of their first winning season in years. And I feel it's due to the coaching change, and the fact they have a pretty stacked offense and defense. I honestly think Baker Mayfield gets a lot of hate at QB, but I think he's helped bring the team back to a winning team. Plus when you got Nick Chubb running the ball all over the place, and a good receiving core with Jarvis Landry, OBJ, Austin Hooper, and Rashard Higgins. Plus they also have Kareem Hunt as backup to Nick Chubb, and both of them combined for nearly 2000 rushing last season, so a combo of them could be a major issue.

idk, what I'm saying is this, I think the Browns have a chance to make the playoffs again, and maybe even be a Super Bowl contender.

Do you guys think it would be possible? Or will they fail in the playoffs?

The finals are a long way to go, and the season has yet to even begin. But, I see the Lakers are making some interesting moves in the offseason and look to be in for a possible run. Do you think the recent trades and signings are good enough to get them another title?

They just added Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, and Russell Westbrook. So to me, it looks like they are looking to add veteran players to make sure they win another title. What do you think?
