Hey... so we're all adults here, right?  So we can have a mature conversation about these things, without all the venom, right? Good. We thought so! That's why we're recapping THIS MONTH in RACISM, SEXISM & POLITICS!

Is she really racist and culturally insensitve or just a victim of circumstance? PLUS We're talking black men who respect women of other races more than black women, what white men REALLY think about dating black women, the racist Latino next door and of course, Mittens "war on women" and why you should vote with your vagina. Are people really misunderstood or are we simply calling a spade a spade? (See what I did there?)   And of course, we're doing it with fun, laughter and wit. (Don't think we can do it without neck swiveling attitude? Then you don't know THE CAKE!)

  "Bitter Brothers: Black Male Bonding"    Here on The Cake we think it's important for men to have a place to vent & share their feelings & be sensitive & cry (dnyree sidebar: not weep!). Sometimes you just don't wanna talk to your woman, or your momma about what's going on with you. Sometime a man just needs another man. #Pause. Today we want to hear about some of the strong male figures helped you define and/or refine the man that you are today.

How can you tell if your man is on the Down Low? Are there obvious signs, or are you just being paranoid? Is the DL man an overblown myth used to scare Black women? Should we blame little baby Jesus & the Church? So many questions! ::: Also, some of you are just OVER Black Men! ... but the real question is, Do Black Men even CARE? FInd out what the Nyree's think! 

You know them. That PERFECT COUPLE you secretly stan on? The one you can't even THINK OF ever parting? The damn EARTH SHOOK when we thought Will and Jada split!
