Dear Slim Thug: If I Wanted Your Opinion On Black Women I’d Give It To You

Posted on 08 June 2010 by Kriss

One of my Big Brothers when I was on line used to tell us something very simple. Whenever we were about to speak he would say “I want you to stop, think real hard about what you’re going to say and then…shut the fuck up.” Why would he say that? Because he knew no matter [...]

A lady friend told me yesterday that three of her friends went on dates in the past week and in all three situations, the guys asked to dine Dutch style. This clearly set off all sorts of alarms in my head which leads to this note. Call me a male chauvinist, a pig, out dated, conservative [...]
