Sure, I just wish my mom hadn’t said that to me on my 5th birthday.

I agree. In my case, I realized pretty early on that I don’t want kids, but that I actually think I could be good parent if I had to. It’s just not something I want.

I remember coming to the same conclusion in my early 40s. No regrets.

Why are people so obsessed with knowing the sexuality of celebrities? It’s none of your damn business. Whoopi Goldberg has addressed this question many times before so why push the issue.

I’ve always loved her. Now I’ve decided she is my hero! 

We need a lot more people with her great attitude.

I feel a little sorry for anyone who never experienced the unbridled joy of being at a middle-school dance in 1988 when the DJ put on Push It.” It was like god gave a bunch of 12-year-olds a three-minute dose of cocaine, removed all sense of inhibition and self-consciousness, and told each and every one us to dance.

I was trained in swift water (river) rescue as a paramedic. There, I learned I would sink like a rock if I weren’t actively treading water. It’s scary to come to that realization in a training environment. Made sense, though; a few years earlier, I had to have a wisdom tooth removed, and the dentist remarked on my

And how did you come to this “understanding”? I’ve seen no reports of his swimming acumen. No report of his years on a swim team, etc.

Sounds like he may have suffered a body cramp and unable to pull himself back on the paddleboard. Condolences to Tafari Campbell family and friends. 💐

It is, of course, normal for people to speculate, but to call her parents while she is missing and say malicious things to the parents is totally out of line and inhuman and inhumane. I am glad she is back with her parents (or at least somewhere where she is safe)and I am glad that she is physically OK. I wish her a

I’d say it takes pretty determined planning and intent to construct, douse and plant crosses and burn them anywhere. It isn’t a spontaneous 4th of July activity or teenage prank. Whoever did this knew exactly what it meant and did so with serious intention.

You’re missing something—the prices are linked to the Amazon listing for each one.

Am I missing something, or are there not links to any of the Amazon pages?

Yeah, Edison class of 88 here—Foster for junior high and Grimes and Columbus for 5th and 6th grade and I never knew about it until there was an article in the paper after I was an adult (I don’t remember what year—I do remember they were still calling it a race riot at the time.)

The fact that Ms. Fletcher, our beautiful elder has kept, to share her story is heroic! I know it will be a real teaching moment! 

One prominent book missing from this list is TR Greenwood’s ‘The Memnid’....an excellent epic fantasy novel about Black Greek mythological hero Memnon as he travels to Troy to fight Achilles and the Greeks. This novel is a masterpiece in that it finally provides a Black perspective to the Trojan Wars and classical
