A buddy of mine at work sent me the following snaps, which, mediawhore that I am, simply felt the need to share with you all, with a few cogent ruminations tossed in. They’re from a site called hotghettomess.com, which aspires to convey a more positive image and message of Black Americans, frequently by showing us where … Continue reading
