You have had anything to do with this album…

Pull Up The Slave Ship, Its Time To Sell Some Folks Back…

These bammas right here…
Beat your kids early and often.

HAA Etiquette Pt. 1: Don’t Be That Guy/That Girl

Bourgies, we need to huddle up for a sec and talk about a few things that are getting to be out of bounds within and without our community.  There’s a real scourge and rising tide, a black tide (not like Black like the people, but black like bad, and bad meaning bad, not bad meaning [...]

The HAA Top Ten List: Movies Every Bourgie Black Person Should Have Seen

You know how it starts.  You’re at work, someone’s having a birthday party and they ask a coworker if they want some cake… Then you think, “Annie Mae, eat the damn cake!”… We’ve all been there.  One minute, you’re trying to make it through the day as a corporate schlock, the next, you’re fighting your [...]
