EUR This N That | Urban Black News Blog

One of the most phenomenal speakers we’ve heard came out of Dallas, Tx. in the form of a fifth grader named Dalton Sherman who posed the question “Do You Believe In Me?”  He had an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres program not too long after he addressed nearly 20,000 Dallas Independent School District teachers and families August 20, 2008, to get the school year started at the annual convocation.  But you read EUR ThisNThat, so you’re already aware of him.

What’s up y’all?! Here is the dirt…

First let me say that I KNOW that I am gonna get some H-A-T-E mail for what I am ‘bout to say but y’all I could not let this go’on another year without sayin’ something. What the heck does Mo’Nique have against razors?! Every time I have seen her in a dress she has had those hairy azz drum sticks that she calls legs all exposed and what not. And this is the same chick that hosts Flavor of Love Charm School!! The first time I saw the dreads on her legs I thought maaaaaybe she was rushing and forgot to shave…but she ain’t forgot for ten years straight!! (more…)
