Wendell Pierce: Courage Has No Color
It looks like Minnesota Timberwolves' guard Rashad McCants has been keeping up the Kardashians closer than most folks. It's no mystery those Kardashian women like themselves some athletes. Kardashian mom, Kris, married former Olympian Bruce Jenner and Kim is currently dating New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush. Now comes word that McCants and sister Khloe are an item."As I'm sure most of you have seen, it's being reported all over the place that I have a boyfriend," Khloe wrote on her blog. "Well I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that it's true... I do "officially" have a boyfriend. His name is Rashad McCants and he plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves, hence my little FREEZING visit there with Malika a few weeks ago, not to mention my other random visits there! Rashad and I have been dating since July, but it only got serious within the past few months.
"I don't want you guys to think I was trying to hide this from you- it was all just so new and exciting and I wasn't sure where the relationship was going to go," she continued. "In the very beginning of it all, I felt it was the right thing to do to keep it to myself because I didn't want to force whatever this was, or make it into something bigger if it wasn't."
Who cares, right? Well, maybe the Minnesota Timberwolves do. McCants went to party with his girl in Vegas over New Years but came back riding the bench. Wolves coach Kevin McHale said that McCants hasn't been playing much because of a lack of effort (and distraction maybe?). McCants didn't play at all against the Bulls on Saturday and only saw six minutes of playing time against the Warriors on Friday. We'll see if McCants will see any substantial playing time this week.
The College Survival Guide
A Fridge
Regardless of whether you have a wonderful sized meal plan, your fridge may come in handy with leftovers or when you feel like stocking it with bottled drinks.
Computer
The convenience of a computer is essential when sending your kids off to college. Forget the hike to the computer lab across campus students need a computer in the comfort of their room. A printer comes in handy as well. Depending on whether your child plans to carry his laptop around campus, you might opt for a desk top since they're lighter on the pockets.
Snacks
You will surely survive with off of a meal plan but it doesn't hurt to stock up on snacks when you don't feel like leaving your dorm room. Bottled water, pop corn, cereal and Ramen noodles are all low budget snacks to stock up on. Just be weary of the freshman 15.
Things from home
Some college students suffer from homesickness the first year. It's best to surround yourself with things like photos of the family, pillows or even stuffed animals. Anything that reminds your child of home.
MP3 Player
With all the stress that comes from school and exams, sometimes it's nice to block out the chaos in your life and even your roommate with music. It's nearly impossible to find students walking to class who aren't jamming to tunes.
Budget
Students who enter college often come in at the ripening age of 18. A great time for credit cards. Parents beware, your child may end up ruining their credit at a young age
Alarm Clock
When you're in college you don't have the luxury of getting awaken by your parents. It's now your responsibility to get to class on time so alarm clocks are a must. But keep your roommate in mind. You shouldn't wake him up ever morning with a blow horn alarm.
Cleaning supplies
Now you don't necessarily need to bring in the rubber gloves, mop and gas mask but it doesn't hurt to bring along Clorox all purpose wipes for spills or dust. Vacuums and brooms come in handy too depending if you have a carpeted dorm.
Bedding
What most parents aren't aware of is that most college beds are twin sized but extra long and require special sheets. When shopping keep your eye open for sheets that clearly state 'extra long' or else your child may come up short.
Shower shoes
You really don't know what some people do in the shower these days. College showers are known to be creeping with germs so spare yourself the fungus and purchase flip flops for the shower. You'll thank us later!

Before people get it twisted, this has nothing to do with race.
She's another kardashian putting her goodies out there for all to see (photoshopped peta photos). Not the kind of girl you take home to mama. Now taking photos putting up gang signs...what's up with that..Makes ya wonder if her attraction is real or just trying to fit in with the crowd..just looks phony to me.. As for rashad..maybe he likes her, maybe he's testing the waters, either way..be careful..

She's not white, she's Armenian which is Middle Eastern And so what. Damn. We cry too much about losing our black men to white women. Why the hell don't we just go get us some white men and quit the damn crying? It's 2009, we got a black president, with a beautiful black family who's mother was...all together now...White! This really needs to start becoming a nonissue. We love who we love and date who we want to date. We whine about racial equality and then have the nerve to scream and shout when a brother dates someone NOT BLACK. HUH!?!?!? Makes no sense at all. Go head Khloe...he fine as hell.

Here we go again! This brother already "tried" to find a good BW he openly admits to that fact! Those that don't already know this need to read his comments in his article about why he tried, but failed to find a suitable BW! It was posted here on BV a few days ago! And, here we already have a few BW...not all! Talking about him looking gay! Yeah right! That's only because he didn't select you! For those BW that want to get with a WM as many here online openly proclaim...then get one! But, here's something that may interest you...only 4% of all BW in the US today marry outside their race! Why? Well, it's actually pretty clear...most men "regardless" of race will not marry a BW period, and the very last thing that WM desire or want is to have black children! Yes they will "date" and show up for the "booty call" , but the majority of WM will not in fact marry a BW, or even introduce her to their families! Good luck!
