By most accounts, Madonna’s Prince tribute flopped. Like, flopped big time. Even BET got in the mix and threw some shade at the diva for her lackluster performance. The network tweeted, “Yeah, we saw that. Don’t worry. We Got You,” suggesting that their June 26 tribute is going to do the legendary, prolific, genre-bending, non-conforming, […]

Using their bodies and voices for instruments of change, black women from several organizations chained themselves together and blocked streets in Chicago that disrupted NFL draft activities. Taking style cues from Beyoncé’s “Formation” video, the ladies were decked out in black berets and black jackets to protest yet another officer-involved shooting and cuts to Chicago’s […]
Many states around the country are openly debating something that’s been spoken about in hush tones for years: the rights of transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their choice.
