The Complexity of Black Success and Black Burden
**Cue random pic that gets the point across about this post.** Earlier this week, Seattle talked about an incident he had with some Pretentious Black People at a night spot in Boston. In reading the comments here and on another site where his article was posted, it became clear that people for the most part [...]
Pretentious Black People
Yesterday my friend and I were tired of frequenting the usual two to three spots we usually go to here in Boston, so we met some mutual friends at some restaurant/bar. Most of the time, I find myself in bars or lounges with a solid DJ, cheap drinks and little to no cover. Some of [...]
