  How The Facebook Social Plug-In Unmasks Idiots & Racists

  

  Tweet

  

  I rarely read the comment section of sites like The Washington Post or local news sites like NBC Washington, but when I do, I’ve noticed a trend among people who comment on certain articles that, indirectly or directly, involve topics like race, women & culture.  People are never afraid to show their true “colors” when they think it’s anonymous. Keyboard racists & sexists tend to run rampant on the internet.  Unfortunately, due to many sites using the Facebook Social Plug-in, they’re really not so anonymous any more. Read more

  Pi Nappa Kappa-The Natural Hair Sorority…Seriously? This Has To Be A Joke…

  

  Tweet

  

  I’ve been natural since ’94, before You Tube tutorials, before the thousands of web sites geared towards natural hair and even before there were a quarter of a billion products (most of which aren’t natural) hit the market. I’ve seen and heard every word of advice given to women before they’ve done the ‘big chop’ after they’ve done the ‘big chop’. I’ve seen people ‘teach’ others on how to maintain their natural hair and everything thing else under the sun pertaining to natural hair.

  When I’ve thought I’ve seen and heard it all, I notice my friend “RyceJuanton” tweet this:

  
  So being the nosy inquisitive person that I am, I did the first thing that came to my mind…I headed to the good ole Google. That’s when I sat in my office and couldn’t help but to literally Laugh Out Loud. Well I’ll be damned, there is now a “sorority” (I use the term lightly) called Pi Nappa Kappa. I’m going to assume the “Nappa” is a play on “Nappy”, but to me the whole concept is a play on stupid.

  So I’m going to assume this is where the nappier holier than though Natural Hair Nazis, pledge their nappiness.  According to their “pledge” site, it states:

  More details
  Pi Nappa Kappa Natural Hair Sorority is dedicated to the advancement of natural hair knowledge, preservation and the development of integrity.

  In order to thrive and excel, this natural hair community must preserve the freedom of thought and expression of all its members. A culture of respect that honors the rights, safety, dignity and worth of every individual is essential to preserve such freedom.

  By choosing to be members of this natural hair sorority, we pledge our respect for the standards of the
  Sorority and for the rights and well-being of all its natural members.

  As a member of the Pi Nappa Kappa Natural Hair Sorority, I pledge that:

  1. I am a smart, special, valuable person!
  2. I respect myself and I respect others.
  3. My words and actions are kind and honest.
  4. I will respect the dignity and essential worth of all individuals.
  5.I will promote the diversity of opinions, ideas, hairstyles and backgrounds which is the lifeblood of the sorority.
  6. I will promote a culture of respect throughout the natural hair community.
  7. I will not tolerate bigotry, discrimination, violence, or intimidation of any kind.
  8. I will practice personal integrity and expect it from others.
  9. I will always be proud of my natural born hair.
  10. I accept only my best in all I do.
  I am PROUD to be ME!

  Seriously, is there a Relaxer/Chemically treated sorority out there also?

  I have tons of friends, well just about all of them, that have been natural for decades, and never have I heard of such craziness. Sure, be proud of your natural hair, exalt in it as a matter of fact because it can be a beautiful thing, but…

  …and this is a big BUT….

  Isn’t it a bit much to create a “sorority“?

  Imagine if it was a real sorority, what would their intake process consist of?

  Coming up with the best natural hair products?  Making the best two strand twist out? Reciting the ingredients to a jar of relaxer?

  Will there be a comb test? If your hair can get through a fine tough comb, will you not be allowed?

  Anyways, I’ll just sit around and wait for the “Lye Phi Lye” sorority to pop up, just so those that live for the creamy crack can have something to call their own as well, why should the “naturalistas” at Pi Nappa Kappa- The Natural Hair Sorority have all the fun?

   

   

  * Before all of yall happy to be nappy nazis get your panties in a bunch and get ready to type 100wpm in the comment section..you’ve missed the 48hr comment period..no new ones will be approved *

  Men Caught With Their Pants Down and Shirts Off

  

  Tweet

  

  Let’s face it, people cheat. People are reckless and careless and feel they are invincible. For the record, the people I’m referring to right now, happen to be men. Sure, women cheat as well, but that’s a different post for a different time.

  Personally, I’ve never cheated, but I’ve been put in some compromising situations by a few men that were cheating on their significant other or attempting to. In certain instances compromising would be considered an understatement.  In my opinion, when a person willingly puts another person in any type of compromising situation, especially when done intentionally, the last thing they should be is shocked when shit hits the fan.

  What cheaters and those who attempt to cheat fail to realize, while they’re in the midst of doing their dirt, are the consequences. Most operate with this false sense of ‘above the law’ mentality which leads them to believe that they’re never going to get caught. What they fail to realize is that  when they finally get caught, they’re getting caught BIG.

  This is when wives and girlfriends are on the receiving end of that infamous phone call or email from the other woman. Or when lewd texts and photos are being plastered on tv screens and they’ve become the butt of jokes for the late night talk shows of the world.

  In a perfect world, people would learn from others people mistakes. Apparently Weiner didn’t watch any of the news back in February. But allowed himself to be Chris Lee’d.

  Welp.

  Where one person immediately admitted what they did and made a speedy exit (more than likely because of the possibility of transvestites coming forward), Weiner’s big mistake was lying from the jump then getting on television and imitating Jimmy Swaggert and crying.  Let’s not forget the whole conversation of ‘is it actually cheating?’ and the whole non-sex scandal.

  People fail to realize that one lie leads to another and the truth exploding in your face.

  I’m pretty sure there will be other instances where someone’s cheating and ‘preludes to cheating’ has career and family ending potential, because we live in a world where people can’t seem to learn from other people’s mistakes. Also, we live in a world where politicians need to stay away from the internet. How many more will end up getting Chris Lee’d or Weinered if they can’t learn the do’s and don’ts of the internet.
