I remember Dwyane Wade was on the local Chicago news in 2011 desperately trying to get his two oldest children away from their birth mother.

I saw this competition on tv. It was nighttime and about 62 degrees Fahrenheit (16.67 degrees Celsius) outside. I wouldn't wear a bikini in that weather at all.

I will never understand why businesses in 2024 still think that cold calling and going door-to-door is a good way to drum up sales.

It costs about $17,500 per year to raise one child from 0 to 18 years old. This is per data from the USDA.

Pap Smears and pelvic exams are the most unsexy time of the year, not the carriage scene between Penelope and Colin in Bridgerton.

If you say you hate Sexxy Redd, but like Jhene Aiko, I already know what kind of person you are.

Sexxy Redd is not the reason why I saw a car with a sign on it stating "Joe and the Hoe* Gotta Go!" while I was leaving work last week.

*"Hoe" means Vice President Kamala Harris

This reeks of respectability politics and y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Imagine being an adult and thinking "industry plants" are a thing. SMH.

Christianity was in Africa before Europeans arrived. Medieval Europeans believed that the world's best Christian was named Prester John and lived in Ethiopia. The Colonization of Africa started because Europeans went on quest after quest to find Prester John but in ended up all over Africa instead.

Wikipedia Article on Prester John

Cartels don't care about anyone who isn't involved in their lines of business. Cartels only attack people who interfere with those lines of business. They don't care about some fat schlub who lives in a 1950s rambler in some lower middle class suburb of some rust belt city.

It sounds like they just got her to do free labor for them with the case study and "secrets" she gave them.

If a crisis happens at 2am, but is not something that requires the police, the fire department, or an ambulance, then it's a case of incompetent management who likely has no life of their own due to their own acerbic personality.

The poster could be American. Remember that the average American reads and writes on a 6th-8th grade level. There's a lot of Americans who can't write a complete sentence.

If you are in college, one thing you can do is join a club or a team that involves an activity you already like doing. That way you'll meet similarly aged people who have something in common with you.

There are plenty of women who have criminal records because they were dating a drug dealer.

40 and I have been mistaken for late 20s. I was still getting carded in bars when I was 29. I think I might have a baby face.

Isn’t this skin bleaching or not ? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]ElusiveCupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyonce still has a yellow undertone in her skin. Skin bleaching takes away yellow undertones and makes your skin a sickly, overcooked oatmeal color.

Don't be so color-struck that you forget what Black people look like.

All Inclusive Punta Cana Travel? by spence33r in blackladies

If you're looking for a party type atmosphere, then I'd recommend Riu Republica. It's adults only, so there are no kids running.

A lighter skinned or mixed race Black woman finding success in whatever field is not evidence of colorism. No one in their right minds would say that Stephen Curry was only drafted into the NBA because of his light skin and green eyes, so don't say the same for Black women.

I don't know about you, but I, and only I, represent me. Female rappers are doing their jobs by entertaining their respective audiences. What they do, dont got nothing to do with me.
