You guys really should become a member of the What Would Thembi Do? fanpage (see box in sidebar) because I share links and photos that don’t merit a whole post. Or maybe I just need to decide that they are important enough and be less choosy about what will force me to open up Wordpress and create said posts. Either way, I posted this little gem on the fanpage last night but woke up this morning still laughing about it. That means you shouldn’t miss it either. Click to enlarge, laugh then sigh.

I can barely tell if this is a Public Service Announcement or a commercial, but it definitely rubs me the wrong way. Funny or foul?

I find the eye-bugging, neck-rolling, finger-waving black woman thing (halfway through having a weave sewn-in, no less) extremely tired, but there’s something else bugging me about this commercial and I’m not sure what.

So much to write, so little time and willingness to hit the ‘publish’ button… in the meantime, check out some of my favorite stuff from other sites!

The photo above is from what Brokey McPoverty has named “possibly the most awesome book ever.” As usual she analyzes the pure crazy with panache, and even treats us to a mind-boggling excerpt from this wildly foolish example of misguided Negroness. Laugh riot.

People have been saying and doing a lot of really stupid stuff around me lately. This post serves to remind all of us what dumb really is.

This cannot be blamed on the gas crisis.

I took this one South Street in Philly. When I told the woman working at the store about the issue she yelled at…

Well, this pictorial song interpretation is pretty much what the 69 Boyz sounded like, isn’t it?…

Much in the same way that it’s inappropriate to say negative things about church-sangin’, if someone makes any old haphazard song about departed loved ones we’re supposed to stay mum on how horrible it is. In this case, I flat-out refuse to do so. This video is the pinnacle of hot steaming colored turd-mess. I can’t even say much before you watch it because you’ll think I’m exaggerating; by the end you’ll be offering Bill Cosby sexual favors.

First of all, who told homegirl to buy hair from the Homie The Clown Kanekalon Collection? She looks…

I’ve been living in the same apartment in West Philadelphia for eighteen months now. Having my own place was great at first, but then I started to notice how wack this building really is. Between the groveling black man upstairs who stole my Jet magazine one week and an insect infestation of biblical proportions another week, I started the summer in my one bedroom apartment seriously considering other options. Just this week the ghetto household on the corner was responsible for three neighborhood no-no’s: a domestic disturbance (“Go ahead and call the cops nigger! You on parole anyway!…

Fox News Houston reporter Isiah Carey is a seasoned journalist and my new favorite person. His hilarious and magnificently-colored news report outtakes give much-needed shape to a backhanded compliment that most of us have received before – “articulate.” We can’t talk high siditty 24/7 and even the most “well-spoken” of us speak a second language called Black English. Our ability to switch up our diction in the hottest second is so “black folks” and I love it. These clips provide a nice little primer on things that will bring out our mother tongue so they kind of warm my…

“They need us to manipulate and do the bad shit because we conversate and our colour is friendly with other peoples. This colour” – he traces a loving finger down his cheek – “is friendly with every country. That white colour” – he points at me – “ain’t friendly. The white man be threatening the Indian. The white man be threatening the slaves. The white man be threatening the Australians . . . that face ain’t to be trusted. That’s why Condoleeza does all the…

I live in Philadelphia where there is no real public access television, otherwise I’m sure I’d have a show by now (speaking of which, what would you think about a Thembi radio podcast? I’m considering it). Since it’s all about YouTube stars these days I thought I’d spend a little time checking out black public access television shows and share the results. By now I’m sure you’ve heard of Alexyss K. Tylor? These folks ain’t got nothin’ on her. Prepare to be disturbed.

This video has been floating around for a while, but I still can’t make sense…
