I am a fan of the Animal Planet and animal shows. One show has a cross breed called a Lyger, a child of a lion and a tiger. Now mind you I know what I'm about to ask is unethical but is it possible. ...

I think the article/writer has a misconception about her looking white. IMO, she doesn't pass for white, but Black Albino. She's a very pale skin and blond haired woman, but her all her other features ...

I love these ladies!

There is something that does look vaguely Puerto Rican about Salt. Her sister Kim guested on the Salt-N-Pepa show a couple of weeks ago, and darned if she didn't look just lik ...

She looks sooooo much like Vanessa Williams!

Funny, I have a great friend who is Kenyan, and she loathes both Michael Michelle and Vanessa Williams. Rolling Eyes

All I'm finding in most of Monica's posts is a lot of talk about old skool fashions and hairdos. Rolling Eyes

I am not against property rights. I suppose as the descendant of slaves I am skeptical that the concept of owning something creates unilateral freedom. It seems to create ownership and the right to ow ...

My answer to the question "Does the taxpayer forking over nearly half their income have no rights?" is YES.

I have to put in my .02 and back up Melani here. We can talk about the children all day long but at the end of the day, forcing some citizens to give up a sizable portion of their income to pay for so ...

G-Man brought up testosterone and nostrils, and I think that hormonal make-up and nasal structure could definitely be clues, but I would add to that the factor of resonance, which has to do with the s ...

As a radio personality myself, I love your topic post! I love all kinds of music and have often dreamt about the days prior to format segregation. Demographics be damned! Laughing

voluntarily choose to embrace collectivism

I think that's an oxymoron. The nature of collectivism is to squelch free will. So where does the choice come in? (Especially for women, I might add.) ...

Exactly. Or the full, round tones in voices such as Della Reese or Oprah Winfrey.

Matter of fact, I think this is why I found Diana Ross so fascinating as a young girl. Both her speaking and singin ...

Did some searching and found out Paula Abdul is half Syrian Jewish. Her Brazilian-born father is a Syrian Jew.

I thought I also read that Paula's French-Canadian mother is Jewish as well.

And while I agree with G-Man that as long as they are doing it without any form of government sub ...

I too sometimes refer to myself as "hood" or "around the way" with pride. I've lived in the hood, the burbs, downtown, uptown... but I find myself most comfortable in an urban env ...
