Regina King has been in the acting game a mighty long time, so when she gives her views on show business, it’s best to listen and take notes. She wrote an article for the Huffington Post in 2010 about the lack of people of color being nominated for Emmy Awards, and she figured she would never […]
If you stand for nothing, you fall for anything, and Damon Wayans, Jr. doesn’t believe the hype. He starred in the 2014 film Let’s Be Cops, and that proved to be a little ill-timed, as it was released around the same time Michael Brown was shot by office Darren Wilson.

The TCA Awards represent excellence […]

On the one hand, it showed other black kids that it was perfectly fine to go to college. On the other hand, it showed […]
You would think a brother from Philly would have the back of another brother from Philly, but didn’t happen last night backstage after Drake‘s OVO Festival set. Drizzy proudly passed his phone full of “Back to Back” memes making fun of Meek Mill to Will Smith and Kanye West, where everyone laughed uproariously. You know something’s […]
