Over the years, I’ve had many conversations with women about their dating lives.  When asked about the type of guys they’d like to date, I usually get a list of items their ideal guy must have before she decides to proceed.
Some of these items are pretty standard - must have a good job, able to [...]

Gentlemen, how many times has the following scenario happened to you:
You go on a 3rd date with a woman, and, as far as you’re concerned, everything is going great. You’ve done everything a “perfect gentleman” would do on a date - opened doors for her, asked if she was comfortable, asked her what she wanted [...]

It’s the same conversation I’ve had hundreds of times now.  I always anticipate when it will pop up, and I always know what the outcome will be: odd stares, a look of confusion on the other person’s face, and an insistence that my mind will change.
It happened again this past weekend: I was out with [...]

Dear Current President George W. Bush:
Aaron P. Taylor here - how are you?  Hope all is going well with you up in the White House. 
I just wanted to send you a brief message to say, “Thank you.”  No, I did not vote for you, nor have I, up to this point, ever voted for a [...]

I was in my kitchen cooking dinner last night when a re-airing of the B.E.T. Hip-Hop awards came on T.V. I missed the first airing, and was happy to be able to finally watch the show.

Since this website is primarily catered (for now) to students attending historically black colleges, I feel it is my duty to, from time to time, inform our race of people about things they may not be aware of. 
One of those things includes the importance of voting.  If you’re like me, you’ve said to yourself time [...]

(Click HERE to see the entire debate, divided into 17 parts.)
At 9 PM last night, I turned my television channel to Comedy Central to watch a brand new comedy show.
It stared some old white guy as a man with a long-term job looking to get a promotion.  He meets up with a folksy female, an up-and-comer [...]

I was watching “106 & Park” yesterday, and they were interviewing track-running medal winners from the 2008 Olympics.  After a few regular questions - “How did it feel to win gold/silver/bronze?” or “What was it like in Beijing?” - they asked one of the participants the following para-phrased question:
“So, we hear that you turned down [...]

Recently, former Presidential candidate hopeful John Edwards came out and admitted to cheating on his wife, Elizabeth, almost two years ago with a person who, ironically enough, was helping with his campaign. 
As if the cheating part wasn’t bad enough, Mr. Edwards did it at a time when his wife was dealing with cancer.  Apparently all [...]
