Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues Why Black History Month is important: 2 of 33

Black History Month is definitely important because too many times African Americans are not credited for the contributions that they have made to the United States (as well in other parts of the world, of course.) And it is not just about Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, or Harriet Tubman either. African Americans (or I sh...
Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues Evaluating whether black people know who they really are: 4 of 15

Do black folks know who we really are? That is a damn good question, indeed. When did it get to the point where being "authentically black" means being a criminal, a gangster, a whore, a "welfare queen", or saying that getting an education is so "Eurocentric"? How the hell did the African American community come down to this...
Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues The absence of black fathers in the home: 5 of 15

There used to be jokes about how Black women have children: "Oh, maybe they really do get their babies from storks; maybe they grow them out in the cabbage-patches; maybe Black women drink some kind of special, magical elixir so they can get pregnant without a man's sperm cell; or could it be that Black females practice supe...
Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife Definitions of hell: 19 of 55

I would always hear religious fundamentalists talking about some eternal inferno where the wicked will be thrown to if they don't adhere to a particular GOD or SUPERNATURAL BELIEF. So, I would ask myself this question: What is really the true definition of HELL? Or, even more interesting to point out is the fact that million...
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Culture & Community Women ignored as video game players: Consumer market untapped: 4 of 8

I've always wondered why females have always received less credit for being video game fans than the guys? Because as being a female myself, I have ALWAYS been a big consumer of the video game industry (from the very first Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Master System to Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 and everything e...
Entertainment > Movies (Other) Analysis of Latin cinema: 1 of 1

I happen to be a very loyal fan of foreign films. I have watched movies from other countries (Japan, France, the U.K., Spain, Canada, Mexico, India, The Netherlands, Africa, the Caribbean, and so on so forth.) One thing that I have noticed very much lately are the movies that come from Mexico, Central America, and Latin Amer...
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends The best of Japanese anime and what makes it best: 1 of 1

When it comes down to weird cultures in the arts, film, music, television, theater, etc, nothing is unique like the bizarre world of Japanese Manga and Anime. "Manga" is literally the Japanese term for "comic book", but they are more like novels that are usually 100-400 pages long in length and they are very popular with bot...
Computers & Technology > Internet Issues Is YouTube addictive?: 4 of 7

You Tube is highly addictive, indeed. I just LOVE it. Freedom of expression and everything. From Reverend Phelps and his inbred family getting their behinds kicked by gays and lesbians to classic television shows to cool and long lost music videos to human rights videos and the list can go on and on! Now, there are some thin...
Entertainment > Movie Genres Recommended non-slasher horror films: 10 of 14

Now, I happen to know about some EXCELLENT non-slasher horror films, and a majority of them are imports from Japan! Some of the best, "bloodless" horror films from the Japanese culture (The Grudge, The Ring, Tomie, One Missed Call, etc.) happens to be films that are remade here in the United States! Now the one that I like t...
Computers & Technology > Software (Other) The difficulties of learning Visual Basic: 3 of 4

Now, as a college student who is majoring in Programming and Networking, there is one thing that I know that is definitely for sure: no one (and I do mean NO ONE) is going to become a genius in one day with Visual Basic.Net. This is probably one of the most difficult things that I have come across so far in computer technolo...
