Ask Ed & Sugar: Obama Gates Beer Summit Misguided
Though many have over dosed on the red kool aid of “Post Obama Racial Progress,” skirmishes like the one on Gates’ front porch serve as a resounding wake up call that white supremacy is still in the oppression business. Most importantly, Crowley’s actions exhibited the same historic egotism of his forefathers, one which prefers it’s negroes non-threatening and shining America’s shoes
Ask Ed & Sugar: Intellectual Freak Or Mr. Right
Game is game. Whether he writes a sensitive manifesto filled with poetic declarations about the sexiness of your mind or whispers slick one liners admiring the voluptuous curves of your backside, the message is the same.
Ask Ed & Sugar: Did Ciara Show Her Ass For Cash??
Here in lies the “Halle Berry Factor” of the modern day female artist: push the boundaries artistically and risk meager sales or SEX up your image in KING magazine in hopes of greater exposure (no pun intended) and killer album sales.
Ask Ed & Sugar:Facebook Killed My Relationship
Social networks can be the death of a relationship. What starts as a fun way to network and keep up with your friends can turn out to be a virtual reality show starring you and your friends…with no second season.
Ask Ed & Sugar: Be Be Winans Abuser Or Christian Wildlin
If we’ve learned anything from the Chris Brown-Rihanna situation, it is important to not be judgmental of Mr. Winans. The situation is unfortunate and all we can do is pray for him, keep him in our thoughts and hope he gets some professional help or intervention…not come out with a duet or a book.
Ask Ed & Sugar: You Say She Just A Friend
It’s really important to not transfer your old baggage onto the new flight. If nothing else, trust your gut. It’s that soft inner voice reminding you of what your soul already knows. Every time we don’t listen to our gut we end up paying. And emotional bills have interest rates that compound exponentially.
Ask Ed & Sugar: Hating Kobe Loving Lebron
While his skills on the court make him a shoe in for the Hall of Fame, I have a huge disdain for Kobe (way down deep in my bones) on a personal level that has nothing to do with his game. Ever since the Lakers shipped Vlade Divac to the Charlotte Hornets for Kobe’s drafts rights in 96’, he has displayed an extreme egotism that has alienated would be supporters and hosts of teammates over the years. Kobe’s early years were blemished by a selfish need to be “The Man.”

Ask Ed & Sugar: Ny Post Monkey Business Get Down Or Lay Down
To parallel Obama’s intricate policies and a monkey running the streets is less than unacceptable. It seems as if a black person in the U.S. cannot rise to a position of power without some major form of belittlement – whether it’s being the head cook in the high school cafeteria or the undisputed heavyweight champ.
Ask Ed & Sugar: Love TKO Chris Brown Rihanna Beatdown
Sadly, it’s a wrap for Chris Brown. Even if the allegations prove to be false, the damage is done. He has already lost endorsements (Wrigley’s Gum and the Got Milk? campaign) and is losing a heated battle in the court of public opinion. There are old school rules. Hitting women, or the implication that you may have, puts you on the wrong side of the law.
Ask Ed & Sugar: Lil Wayne Ignites Katie Couric Gangsta Fantasy
Lil Wayne’s statement about altering his name– to disconnect from the legacy of his father– had the resonance of a Langston Hughes poem. Who’s name is James, but used Langston to separate from his father. Lil Wayne is obviously in a bit of pain. Not sure who is the blacksmith of his shackles, but as it’s always been, he’s using music to break free.
