Am I Black or Am I Black-ish?

Last Wednesday, a new show starring Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishbourne and Tracey Ellis Ross premiered. Blackish is a comedy about an upper middle class Black family living in L.A. While the title immediately stuck me as unappealing, I still watched. I'm glad I did because the show raised issues that many Blacks endure today, such as the need to preserve our culture, experiences in white corporate America, and raising a new generation to remember their Black history. However, the show met quite the "blacklash" from a lot of its audience members...

The Meaning Of Life


What is the meaning of life? If you randomly heard the answer on the street corner, would you pay attention? What if it was from someone who wasn't well-dressed or seemingly attractive? Would you still listen?

Interracial Dating: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

One would think that the topic of interracial dating could be brought up in a discussion to openly exchange views. I was wrong. Interracial dating is still a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable, whether they're in an interracial relationship or not. I've found that there are four types of perspectives when it comes to interracial dating. 1) Those who enjoy and are comfortable dating outside of their race. 2) Those who think about it but don't care either way. 3) Those who don't support it, either passively or assertively. 4) Ones who refuse to date their own race and do so with an agenda.
