Steve Harvey wants us to Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, Ralph Banks says we should “marry out“, and now the latest survey conducted by The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation suggests that we are hyper-career driven workhorses who don’t prioritize marriage. It seems that everyone and their mom has an opinion regarding the so-called plight of the Single Black Woman. When did finding (and keeping) a companion require the help of so many “experts”? It’s no wonder some of us have simply adopted an I-Don’t-Need-A-Man mentality. But for all the PhDs and Relationship Gurus, I found that the most refreshing and no-nonsense gem came from none other than controversial rapper, T.I.
In a recent episode of Vh1′s T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, the couple is discussing T.I.’s upcoming appearances, an unfinished album and many other obligations he needs to meet in an attempt to get his post-prison career back on track.

I’ll get to that in a minute.
We both big chopped at the same time, but Kris had a [click to continue…]

Hello, my name is Lola, and I am a ratchett TV watcher.
Confession: I have watched the “Ridickulous” episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta three times. Bravo’s highest rated reality show has never been short of shock-value. But this particular episode far exceeds the show’s typical finger pointing, wig-snatching and over-the-top drama. I had to watch the episode again, you know, just to be certain that that really happened, that my eyes didn’t deceive me. Then I watched it a third time, for um, research purposes. Yeah. I’m comfortable with these admissions only because I’m fairly certain that I’m not alone. We could just chalk it up as a “guilty pleasure”. It is pleasurable in a twisted sort of way. Guilty? Perhaps, but do we feel guilty enough to turn the channel?
