No Comments The Celebrity Culture
We live in a world which is based on illusion and perception. We are obsessed by the way other people live and look. We look enviously at the world of celebrity, and we wish that we had their lives instead of our own. This is amplified tenfold when we see how people look on the covers of the multitude of magazines out there.

No Comments Dating in Black Culture
Dating in black culture used to start with meeting the girl, maybe in school or at the library. If you're older maybe you would meet someone at work or the grocery store.
