What unpopular opinions do you have?

Black Women stole the baby hair look from Latina Women.

Bullshit

Places where latinos are few and far between featured Black women styling their baby hair. I've been seeing the look since at least the late 80s, and I have photographs of family members styling it in the 70s, and the style itself is probably rooted in Josephine Baker's styles going back to the 20s.

Ghostbusters song is NOT BETeTER than I Want New Drug

I never made the connection during that era.
It wasn't until it was pointed out to me years ago, that I was like
Damn that is a rip Off :eek2:
There's a reason for that tho.... The film makers used the huey lewis song as a placeholder in the rough cut of the film because they liked the energy of the song. So when it came time for the soundtrack they sent the rough cut with IWND on it to Ray Parker Jr and said we want a song that's like that and you have two weeks... So he used the the basic groove of the song as a basis for the ghost buster theme..then they tried to play it off... Huey lewis caught it and sued and got a settlement then he got sued for copying the groove on pop muzik to make IWND :lol:

Yup I think he mentions this in the video.

They specifically told Ray to mimic the song.

Here's LaToya Jackson, any pictures of Angela Bofill or Irena Cara with this look in the 1970s?

WhatTTTTTT :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:
 
If you're a single man with no kids, dating a woman that already has kids isn't a great idea. I was dead against it when I was young, hit my 30's and said you know what... she only has one. Aside from that, she seems to have her shit together so why not? Then, I quickly learned why not. There's just so many ways the shit can go wrong, but for me it went wrong with the baby daddy. Dude had never shown any interest in his kid, whether it was spending time or financial support. But as soooooooooon as he realized that she was fuckin someone else, all of a sudden he wanted to see his son.

I don't do drama or bullshit, have lived my life avoiding ignorant situations. But, having grown up in Bham, you know in those situations you'd be better off with the iron on you just in case. Dude decided he wanted to show up one day on some ignorant shit. I'm quiet and to myself, but, back me into a corner and I'll flame your ass real quick like. I decided it was better to just call the law and let them deal with it so that's exactly what I did. Otherwise, you'd have likely seen me on one of those bodycam videos on youtube after I just laid someone's baby daddy out on their front lawn.

Only way I'll ever do it again is if the kid is already grown and gone. Bessemer Alabama folks don't have much sense so I shouldn't have had my ass out there to begin with. She was fine though, that's what sucked me in.

Had a similar situation years ago & her baby daddy was a cop. Nigga was a dead beat to the fullest but as soon as she started dating me, she says he's asking to see his daughter and wants her to visit his mom in Jamaica.

I already knew what was up & thought dude probably already got intel on me since he's a cop so I exited stage left.
 
I don’t believe in leaving generational wealth in terms of money or real estate when I can spend all my money myself and enjoy the fuck out of myself when I’m retired. The best legacy you can leave your children is good education and helping them chose a career that gives them income independence.

I'm glad my parents didn't think like this lol. My folks setting up money for me is what got me a free education at Howard and the ability to graduate and start life with no debt. Education is good and all, but a large portion of black kids graduate with a ton of student loan debt and it makes it hard as hell for many to start out. Didn't need support for life, but that shit made a HUGE difference for me.
 
President Obama is an elitist in this opinion about ketchup; he says that you shouldn't eat ketchup beyond the age of eight...lol.

Did you read and comprehend what I wrote well? Howard graduates are usually better than this. Your parents did exactly what I wrote and so did mine. That’s why I wrote it. Go back and read it again.

There will be stipulations put in my will or trust for my son to get access to my wealth. Off the top of my head, no children before marriage will be one & another one will likely be for him to obtain a degree or certification of some sort.
