NAACP wins on "nigger" in dictionary

A Small Victory...A Giant Step

My daughter is going to buy her own cell phone and we are looking for the best deal. We have a Metro PCS here in Atlanta, but that only covers the metro atlanta area. She is leaving for college next June, so we want a good plan that will not kill us with roaming charges. I dont like the Metro PCS service also because I just think tooooooooooooo many people have those phones. From the people that have the service here, they say their calls drop frequently, static and they charge you to repair the phone.

So put your vote in....who has the best cell phone package?

My little brother is saving money to buy a "throwback". I’ve looked around (cause I’m going to surprise him with one) and I can’t figure out what this is. I looked on ebay and I see some jerseys with “throwback” as the description. But I also see some hats with “throwback” as the description. Is "thowback" a brand name?

Help a sista out! What is a “throwback”?

Man this year has went by FAST!!!!

Anyway, the eye to eye and bumping into each other all over campus has been kind of mind-boggling even though we’ve never spoken to each other.

Update on the Essence festival....
Like I told you ladies, I have moved back home with my family. I love them very much but wow, I didn't realize how much my mother has changed. She is becoming more and more fanatical with age. Her and her husband was cutting the grass the other day and she just nagged him to death because he wasn't all into it like she was. Her and my sister don't get along and she keeps threatening to call CPS on my sister because she feels my sister isn't raising them properly. Then I have suddenly become Ms.
Have you heard anything new about promotion at BBB? Just being nosey!!

I don`t know whether you all have seen the Black Think Tank that Tavis Smiley hosts on C-Span every year, but it is powerful food for thought.


Here are a few of the things learned at the Black Think Tank this past month.

Facts:

1. The first Americans or native Americans going back to 13,000 BC were black! Look up the Folsom people who lived in Arizona.
