Do you want to talk about race with your coffee?

Normally, I am here for ALL of this conversation. ALL of it. But with my coffee, tho?

First thing in the morning?

Sigh.

Starbucks is going to try to tackle the issue of race in America, with barristas at 12,000 locations nationally trying to spark the conversation by writing the words, "Race Together," on coffee cups. Additionally, a USA Today supplement co-authored by Starbucks, will appear in print editions beginning Friday, March 20.

"Racial diversity is the story of America, our triumphs as well as our faults," says an opening letter in USA Today that is authored by the heads of both companies. "Yet racial inequality is not a topic we readily discuss. It's time to start."



Now, that is where I draw the line. Look, I can roll with some lattes with the best of 'em, but talking about race -- BEFORE I get my coffee -- is looking for a fight where I'm from. Chile, anything might come out of my mouth first thing in the a.m.

With no coffee, HELLO!!
 
Listen. I'm not so sure I want the barrista to ask me about race when they are serving  coffee.

I mean, are they gonna say: Black coffee, no sugar, no cream? Would you like some half-half with that? 

Do you want some affirmative action or respectability politics along with your Mocha Latte?

What, Starbucks, what?

Who OK'd this foolishness?

I am all about doing you. But I want to know ... What nail tech did these nails? Cause they need to have their license SNATCHED for this pointy pedicure!



Was the nail tech smoking meth? Or was she high? Even worse, WHO would let anyone shape their toes into lil' devil points. I'mma need her to get a refund right quick.

Who thought this was a good idea, who? I feel sorry for whoever she's sleeping with. Their legs are about to be cut up when they wake up in the morning.

Ri Ri can wear these pointy nails on her fingers all day long; they are a trendy and different look for a manicure. But on your toes, tho? Sometimes, you just need to stop, drop and roll out the door if the nail tech even mentions some foolishness like this.

Angie Stone knocks her daughter's teeth out

There are certain things in life that are indisputable: Death and taxes come to mind.

But here's another one to add to the list: Hit your Momma and you will get knocked the eff out!

Or, get your front teeth knocked out -- as R&B singer and R& B Divas Atlanta reality show star Angie Stone, 53, allegedly did to her daughter, Diamond, 30, after getting into an altercation with her on Monday night in an Atlanta suburb.

Stone, whose real name is Angela Brown, was arrested. But her daughter will certainly need lots of dental work. Stone is accused of  knocking out several of Diamond's teeth in the brawl in Lithonia, Georgia, according to the Associated Press.

Stone told police that her daughter punched her in the face with a closed fist, according to AJC.com. Stone  picked up a metal stand (we all know that Black mommas will pick up the first thing their hand touches) and hit her in the face.

Stone told police she realized the mistake and put down the stand but her daughter came after her again. A family friend eventually broke up the fight, according to TMZ.

This all started after Stone told her daughter to clean up and get her kids under control, who were reportedly running around "half-naked," according to  WGCL.

Both women were taken to police for questioning and Stone was charged with aggravated assault.Stone is a three-time Grammy-nominated singer. Her reps have not issued a comment.


You gone learn today!


But ... umm, just in case Diamond didn't know. You NEVER hit your momma. Just don't do it. All she has to do is to look in the mirror for that reminder. There are some things that you just don't do. I don't care how wrong your momma is or how right you think you are.

 All I know is, you'd better be ready for a fight if you hit a Black momma. I can speak definitively, because I am one. I do not know what happens in other communities, but I do know what happens in mine: Her daughter had better be glad ONLY her front teeth are gone. Her injuries could have been a lot worse.

And spare me with the, I'm grown bit. If you are grown enough to hit your momma, you are grown enough to get knocked out like a real woman you claim to be.

Hitting your moms, tho! SMH.

Injuries Diamond allegedly sustained in the brawl


Before you come to blows, you really need to exit stage left ... or risk getting your teeth knocked out!

Jesus Be a Fake Pic

Fix it, JESUS!

I thought Lenny Kravitz had lost it when he was spotted wearing a rolled up duvet cover in NYC some months back. Now, I'm sure that God is going to come down from his mighty throne and swoop all of the believers up after I saw this mess on the Internet.



A bedsheet? You got out of bed, walked to your car, got in it, started it up, drove it and then had the nerve to get OUT OF THE CAR wearing this? And only this???

Lawd. I just can't. CANNOT.

First it's wearing pajama pants 24-7. My heart is weak. Now this? I don't even think Jesus can fix this (sorry, Lord). What Redbox video is that important that you just rolled out of bed to get it? Is it starring Idris? Brad Pitt? Michael Ealy?

Listen here. There is NO video worth rolling out in the streets wearing just a sheet. I'm still trying to figure the logic here. I can hear that old saying now: "A lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets."

Well, I'm dayum sure they didn't mean wear the sheet in public!

Isn't she breaking some sort of public indecency laws?
Nakedness decrees, no?

I bet she did not brush her teeth. Or wash her behind. She certainly could not have taken a shower, because, I don't know: It's just not normal to walk out the house wearing a sheet! This is just nasty.

Sweet Baby Jesus. Let this be a fake picture. I am on my knees right now praying that this is Photoshopped. Jesus, be a fake! 

Because if it's not?

The Internet has lost its mind. I do not know what else to do but to pray. And I just want the Lord to lift us all up where we belong. And it ain't here. We are in the LAST DAYS, you hear me?? Only the Lord can fix this mess!
