Should We Stop Donating $$$ To Haiti Relief Efforts?

Posted on 27 January 2010 by Dylan the Foreigner

This question seems absurd considering we are only 2 weeks from the disaster that hit Haiti and a good majority of us are still in a very emotion based reactionary mode.  While this question is not advocating halting donations to the people of Haiti in this great time of need…..I simply ask because the thought [...]

Posted on 01 December 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

I haven’t written anything in a while but there has been too much f*ckery going on this past week on the Idiot Tube aka the American Media so I will get both of them out w/ one blog posting. Once again, we are allowing ourselves to fall into the media trap and further confusing the whole [...]

Dear Black Woman: Do you have ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’ Hair?

Posted on 02 November 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

Did you see the Chris Rock documentary, ‘Good Hair’? If no, go see it. Unfortunately for Chris, I think that some people who will watch his documentary (Good Hair), will walk out of that movie theater (or bootleg laptop screen) with the wrong message.   If you walked out of seeing that film thinking any of these [...]

Posted on 26 October 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

A colleague asked me my thoughts on this and as I was responding to him, I turned it into a note writing thing. Spike Lee compares Tyler Perry’s work to Amos and Andy I think they are both idiots. 1.

Reality TV and Our America: The New Crack Epidemic

Posted on 19 October 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

I remember writing a post recently about the top 10 major contributors to the ‘BitchMadeAmerica’ in which I listed Kanye West as a major issue that we face as a society. Please don’t get me wrong, until Kanye decides to calm the hell down, he will still be on the top of my list. But [...]

Posted on 14 October 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

The recent conversations about the Morehouse dress code reminded me of another conversation that I had with a coworker last year about ‘individual self expression’. That conversation really was an eye opener for me in how different we really are as a people on things that sometimes we would expect to agree on based [...]

Background of story: If you haven’t heard of this case, please creep out from underneath that rock that you are living under and go here first to read about the case here.

Online Dating Services and Young Black Folk

Posted on 29 September 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

A majority of my notes, they tend to stem from conversation(s) with some crazy yet entertaining friends of mine and this one is no different.  I guess when you spend so much time working and trying to be an adult and time to relax eventually comes around, the craziest conversations are had.

Hey Fellas…Are We Kidding Ourselves in the Dating Game?

Posted on 29 September 2009 by Dylan the Foreigner

In a recent conversation with some male friends, we came to some disagreements about some topics relating to dating and our expectations of female partners. Here are the 4 more prevalent ones and my opinions that I felt the need to share. I am in no way an expert in relationships (for anyone that knows me, [...]
