JUST HIRE A FUCKING BLACK GUY.
The worst thing about blackface? It tells Black people that they’re also unqualified to be Black.

“Tiger Woods” and “Buddhism” in the same sentence: No more, pls.
It’s not that I think he’s a disgraceful Buddhist or that he shouldn’t pursue the path, it just makes me cringe that for many people this Tiger Woods scandal is their first introduction to Buddhism. Thanks a lot, Hume! In Tiger’s apology speech today, he cited that his lack of practice in recent years is what led him to committing sexual misconduct (as defined within Buddhist ethics) many times over:
Part of following this path for me is Buddhism, which my mother taught me at a young age. People probably don’t realize it, but I was raised a Buddhist, and I actively practiced my faith from childhood until I drifted away from it in recent years. Buddhism teaches that a creation of things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. It teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. Obviously, I lost track of what I was taught. — CBS News
The 8 Black Gays you will meet in your lifetime.
After reading “A Handy Guide to All Gay Men” by Brian Moylan over at Gawker, what stood out to me (obviously) was that I don’t know many Black men like this. Any one of these archetypes can apply to my Black gay brethren, but by and large, in my experience, they do not. So some mischievous friends and I decided to compose a more colorful equivalent to Moylan’s classifications. Your education begins now.
The Skinny Bitch
This strain of Black gay is typically very young (“green”) but quickly rises in popularity in his newfound social circle because of his youth, pliability and quick mastery of shade. His goal is to accrue as many enemies as possible since he’s convinced that having enough people that despise him means he’s “doing something right.” He will spend an entire month’s salary on designer sunglasses because he considers them social currency.
Activities: “Walking”, throwing shade, wearing eyeliner, being penetrated, hogging the camera, starting arguments with strangers, making youtube videos, going to the mall.
Diva of Choice: Beyonce or Rihanna (there is no in-between)
Top or Bottom: Bottom.
