These 10 Black Women Want You To Stop Commenting On Their Hairstyles At Work

In case you somehow don't already know: It's never okay to reach out your hand and touch a Black woman's hair without permission — I mean, how was that ever even a thing?Touching is clearly not okay, but there are a number of other things that we, as non-Black people, should also consider when talking about Black women's hair. Things like gawking at, commenting on, or cracking jokes about their latest style switch-up are equally inappropriate, and can make Black women feel singled out.These kin...

“Power” Season 5 Episode 2 Recap: Tommy Gets in Trouble With the Italians, Dre Is (Unfortunately) Still Alive, and Ghost Turns Into Dexter

It was a rough couple of days for the characters of Power in Season 5 Episode 2 as everyone dealt with the consequences of their actions from the past.Keisha is looking at the St. Patricks sideways because no one seems to be willing to fill her in on the circumstances surrounding Raina’s murder, even though it’s painfully obvious that they know what happened. Ghost and Tasha are having a rough time dealing with their daughter’s death, and it’s clear that they both feel responsible. That little l...

The finale opens with Tariq, who has rightfully earned the title of dumbest child on television, being questioned by the police about his sister’s death.

29 Women Describe Their First Time

In our society, “virginity” is a loaded word, and we place a lot of emphasis — and pressure — on losing it.

Why The Mallpocalypse Hasn't Come For The Mall Of America

When The Mall of America opened 25 years ago this week, the media panned it as a really dumb idea. For one, they said, it was too much a gimmick. The biggest mall in America — the size of five Yankee Stadiums — came with nightclubs, a medical supply store, and an amusement park with a roller coaster and log flume. Beyond that, it was pending financial disaster. The Los Angeles Times called the convergence of attractions and retail a “risky mix” and a “carnival approach;” T he Washington Post po...

Have You Noticed This About All These Bachelorettes?

Between the hand-holding, rose-distributing and tear-wiping, a Bachelorette's hands get a lot of screen time. This necessitates two things: a manicure (because the Most Eligible Woman in America doesn't have ragged cuticles) and a serious jewelry collection. Certain activities require arm candy — and clasping your arms around the necks of hunky suitors on primetime TV is one of them.While The Bachelorette franchise features more statement necklaces than a sorority trunk show, a lot of those gem...
