Not YOU Again: 7 Celebs Who Can Make It Hard to Like Them
I know what you’re thinking–these celebs are so busy making money and making moves that they’re not worried about what you think about them. That may be true, but around here, it never hurts to keep it real when we feel like some of the biggest names out their speaking for black folks are doing too much or too little. There’s something about every person on this list that I can appreciate, however, there are many things about them that have come to turn me off, as well as a few other people (a lot of other people actually). Check them out and let us know who we forgot to add to the list:
Does His History Matter?
People can change, right? Is this the motto you live by when dealing with a man who has a not-so-ideal dating history? While it’s true that people can change, it’s also true that you can tell a lot about a person through their past relationships.
If none of his relationships have lasted over a year, it could suggest he gets bored easily. Will you be that one interesting girl that can hold his attention? Do you even want to take that chance? Most importantly, if every relationship he’s been in has ended in a domestic dispute, chances are he’s initiated at least one and you could potentially be the next victim.

7 Signs It Might Be Time to Find a New Church Home
As an individual who has traveled from place to place, and got my “squatter” on in a few random cities across the country for both work and school purposes, I can’t tell you enough about the importance of finding a good church to clear your mind at. In college, what looked like a beat up old warehouse in the middle of tiny ‘ol Columbia, Missouri wound up being a party every Sunday. A party that just so happened to get me through the tough times–issues at home, man problems, financial woes, FINALS. You name it, church got me through it. Actually, God did, but you catch my drift.
So now that I’m older, living in a new, big city, I want to find a church like that again. The options around me are superfluous, with churches from block to block, but there’s always some bumps in the road while searching. While church is supposed to be a great place to have fellowship and get a new perspective on the bible (though you should be familiar with your bible before you go), some churches that try too hard or don’t try hard enough can wind up being great places to get dressed up and take naps. So with that, here are seven signs to help you figure out whether or not it’s time for you to pick up your bible and take your praise elsewhere.
