The other day, a loyal reader asked your auntie to post a list of things we should leave behind in 2018. A few of you emailed me with a list of trends or fads that you want gone in 2019 — including gossip blogs, which is not very realistic since we all gossip occasionally.
As 2018 draws to a close, let’s reflect on things that we would like to see gone in 2019.
1. Self-hate
This is a big one. So many of us hate the things about ourselves that makes us unique and beautiful: our skin tone and our natural hair. All over Africa, Black people are bleaching their skin to conform to white standards of beauty. Here in America, Black women proudly display bone straight hair weave. The effects of self-hatred can be seen on social media sites such as Instagram.com, where women who were Black just a few years ago are now 10 shades lighter. Even children have issues with low self-esteem on social media. We have to do better.
2. Narcissism
Some say social media is to blame for the alarming rise in narcissism. But narcissists were around long before Al Gore discovered the Internet (j/k). Social media enables narcissists to accumulate fake “friends” who “like” everything they post. Why work hard to achieve anything when all we have to do is press a button? Celebrities, in particular, have taken over social media which provides them with the narcissistic supply they crave. Psychologists say this generation will be the most narcissistic ever. Oh, goody.
3. Reality TV shows
I wish we could leave reality TV shows in 2018. Particularly the ones that feature Black women in a negative light. Yes, I’m looking at you Mona. Not one reality TV show uplifts Black women or portrays us as Black Queens.
4. Jacquees
Someone started a petition to ban Instagram singer Jacquees from ever doing music covers. Jacquees caught flack when he dubbed himself the best R&B singer of the modern era. His declaration drew responses from R&B greats such as Bobby Brown, Keith Sweat and even Sisqo. If you care to add your name to the petition, the link is here.
5. Culture vultures
Please leave Culture Vultures such as Cardi B, DJ Khaled, Bruno Mars, Post Malone, and French Montana in 2018.
6. Gun violence
I know this is unrealistic, but gun violence should stay in 2018. Too many innocents lose their lives due to man’s obsession with firearms.
7. Instagram models
Instagram models are average-looking women who use filters and other image altering tools to become every man’s fantasy on social media. They portray themselves as wealthy entrepreneurs and model expensive clothing, bags and shoes. In reality, they are store clerks, fast food workers and nannies who show off their employer’s material things as their own.
8. Sexual politics
I pray that the Democrats and liberals leave sexual politics in 2018. I pray that 2019 brings more awareness to the scourge of mental illness in our communities. Particularly in the LGBT community where mental illness is significantly higher than the general population.
9. The Kartrashians and the Jenners
Leave all of them in 2018, including the kids. Without the Kartrashian influence, maybe Kanye West will make great music again.
10. Hashtags
I wouldn’t be mad if we left hashtags behind in 2018. What good are they? Entire movements have been formed out of hashtags that destroy people’s lives over false accusations.

I cosign this message !!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0f0d9df2ff540a84353eb7e9bfb922f626c11d9d8bd1ab178acb22ae81b0580a.gif Down with the Hexanbeast!!!!!
I’m E-Vanna and I approve this message! ??
Yes. But I was dying when I saw number 4. LOL
Self hate? Why is it just focused towards black women when the main photo is of a woman who’s whole family morphed themselves to look like a black woman ????? There is a huge number of natural bloggers and sites that embrace our beautiful complexions! Black women are not the only women who have issues with loving themselves and if you want to address the issue… go deeper!! Black women were forced to wear weaves and straighten their hair because corporate America and schools would not allow them to wear their hair in its natural state. For years we were told our skin was ugly and our hair was untamed now they appropriate all that we have and created….. we Can definitely leave the rest of the list ?
sounding like a broke down Usher with the damn flu ….. Call that ninja snozzle nose …… sound like he got snot in his nose when he sings …… Simp he is https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1b8b91ab8f1bc715d3993ac6ce0da08c5dc45579b7067cfe695378ea2bf1b992.gif
Hmm, I seem to remember a lot of Black people – men and women – wearing afros to work in the ’70s and ’80s. There is nothing wrong with wearing our hair in its natural state as long as the hair is neat and not unkempt.
I concur! But Auntie in order to get rid of reality shows that show black woman in a negative light we first have to stop black woman from being birds for cash. Producers can only tape the footage you give them. If woman stop acting like utter fools and have some respect for themselves then there will be nothing negative to show. It starts at home folks we gotta do better if we want better!
Particularly in the LGBT community where mental illness is significantly higher than the general population.

Wait what ????? Chile Sandra I should have kept reading …. seriously you mentally ill over there ???? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/757409882300e04d63efd6efb5035684d2b0de7c17c0bdc5f9f675748bc7d6f7.gif
?????????????? To the entire list-minus Bruno Mars.
Not Jacques the King of R&B? ??
I’m sure the woman are acting fools at the behest of the producers.
1, Child abuse
2. Black men who think wyte women have something special
3. Saggy pants with butts exposed
4. Wearing pjs to your child’s school
5. People who make right hand turns from the left lane
I worked at a doctors office in Atlanta the doctor was black the office manager was black they hired me off my looks because when I was sitting in the waiting area I saw the doctor peel his head out and then give the office maythe nod of approval that particular day I had a weave in but I’m natural so later I stated wearing my natural hair in a blow out but it’s thick and sometimes throughout the day it would revert back or just puff up?? she called me in the office and said the patients were complaining about my hair and some asked who was that nappy headed girl (mind you the texture of my hair is soft and fluffy) anyway she told me that she knows my hair can get straighter than that I told her I have my hair professionally done but because it’s natral if it’s humid my hair will revert she told me in so many words I was lying. The next day this bish came into the office with her flat iron and some oil and called me in her office and said let me flat iron your hair so I can show you what I’m talking about! THIS WAS A BLACK WOMAN!!
This is a wonderful list. Along with the Instagram models could we leave the fake Instagram businesses as well? I’ve been fooled numerous times and was legitimately trying to support my people.
Bruno Mars is not a culture vulture
Amen to this entire post!
https://jadetperry.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/praise-dance.gif?w=320
“Self hate? Why is it just focused towards black women”
Because the blog demographic is majority Black women? ?????
I said all that to say sometimes it be your own people that try and make you hate yourself! Meanwhile she had five strand of hair on her head with clip in weave and you could she ever clip cuz she had flat ironed all her hair out her head!
WHUT??! I think EEOC is open today.
WHAT THE ENTIRE HELL!!!! I would have wore a camera and a recorder and brought that damn office down to their knees with some cash in my pocket!!!!
THis happened years and years ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday! That lady was a jealousshe was old overweight and bald headed.
Jacquees I am WEAK…and wholeheartedly agree ?
Did y’all see the video of him dumping 100k on the floor at his moms wedding reception? He couldn’t just put a check in the wishing well?
In other words, you wore bone straight hairweave to get the job because you didn’t think you would be hired if you wore your hair unkempt.
I would like to know who survived RKELLY in 2018.. Drea said Robert hogged tied her and fell asleep.
Bruno Mars is not a culture vulture. He is a extremely talented Filipino man who has worked hard to get where he is. Actually, a breath of fresh air. I grew up in a community with Samoans, Cambodians and Filipinos who had a deep connection, love and appreciation of soul music.
6. Bonnets outdoors
7. Fur slides outdoors
Good job Auntie! Spot on!!! Happy New Year!!!!
Great list!
If I could like this 100x I would!!!
Not 5 strains! lol OMG I just had a vision of the movie I’m gonna get you sucka when she took off her wig her lashes her arm, leg her everything! lmao I’m sorry I’m was being insensitive to ur story just now I got off track. You need to speak with someone about this because that’s not right!
Is that Fantasia
I thought about it because everyday she would call me in the office about my hair ? until one day I went on lunch and decided I wasn’t going back she called me asked me why I wasn’t back from lunch I told her I ran outta gas I later didn’t show up for work but called her and recorded our conversation but I basically told her I wasn’t filing for my unemployment and I expected it to go through with no issues and it did! At that time I was just ready to get outta there and still be able to provide for my child.
Number 11.
WENDY WILLIAMS
7. Mothers who dress their children in all black and put red lipstick on their lips. *coughs North’s mom*
No at that time I wore the weave cuz it wasn’t my protective style it was a sew in I took it out to give my hair a break and to showcase my long natural hair that was actually longer than the weave I wore to the interview. I always switch from a sew in to natural styles then braids
7. The use of the words: Icon or iconic and shade
8. Lace fronts that consist of 40 packs of 50 inch bundles?.
Lololol…it was a look tho?
You forgot DONALD TRUMP
Lololol u know that’s not fanny https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bb676573b25920c11b98cb9cc5cb2d3a0ce6d8310513480c2dc4319d255de1c5.gif
Gee…I sure wish you could have gotten paid off of that one. It’s terrible.
But she never mentioned sleeping with other women willingly for him either.
I know you’re joking, but mental illness is a serious problem in the gay/trans community.

9. The Kartrashians and the Jenners
^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree. BUT. I dont even like these folks. But saw this last night and Kendall better damn it DO.

1. Self-hating negros who support Trump.
Yeen sh!t! I SWEAR!!!! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What is a culture vulture? Just curious?
Great list btw!
To this entire post…minus Cardi B and Bruno Mars https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1acfde91d8d62414dd6f3272943de515a646b13064a75c0d0099b0a9f8c8feee.gif
There she go..LOL
Call me 42 but, what is #5 (capping)? I keep hearing the saying “no cap”. What does that mean exactly?
Mental illness is a problem period Sandra …… now don’t do that and single out LGBTQ now …. that ain’t right ….. in fact that is a projection ….. Love you Sandra nut naw ….. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/280af94b4e6f9837031514beb46cc09bda7bed2baab942ea4293410403dc0c19.gif
French Montana
^^^^^^^^
Umm he is from Africa? Like some of the people yall deem cant be part of the culture rightfully…belong to the culture. Im confused
Thinking back I wish I would have done more it’s a funny thing when ppl know you living pay check to pay check and they can play with you back then I wasn’t in a financial postition to fight a fight I was one check away from being homeless BUT NOOOOOOWWWW! I wish a mf would! That Situation motivated me to push to become an entrepreneur and be in control of my own financial destiny that way I won’t have to put up with anyone’s abuse for pennies
If it was FOR HIM, doesn’t sound like it was “willingly”. But eh.
Capping = lying. Dub had to tell me ?
Yes, Filipinos have a alarmingly rate for diabetes and high blood pressure like black folks.
Don’t you hate that. Support SupaCent. She real.
Most of those were actually spot on!! I’d add fox news to the list, not likely but MSNBC did beat them in the ratings recently. Too much devisive rhetoric without the facts to back it up, just anti-brown hysteria. Read that republicans lifespans are actually decreasing cause they’re so mad all the time (which might not be a bad thing…) Also let’s leave behind giving the spotlight to random useless folks and give more shine to positive black role models!
Wow. Sounds like that would be solid grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.
That’s all she had she was looking like trump by the head I kid you not! She was trying to cover that clip in wave with that lil bit of hair it wasn’t workin
Thank you. A “culture vulture” is someone with limited talent who misappropriates another culture’s music for profit.
She done said she ain’t too keen on the idea…..but it is what it is. I guess.
1- Big ugly overdrawn tranny brows
2- Nasty big sloppy bought bootys with chicken legs
3- Face full of theatrical makeup (your not on stage)!!!
4- Anybody over 30 on IG/Facebook looking for likes (WTF you’re to old for that mess)!!!
#Iagreewitheverthingonthislist ? and dont forget about police brutality
I dont agree with those two either.
LOL, it’s arguing, going back and forth, threatening to beat azz.
???? I approve adding this to the list
?
Thank you, Black folks think natural hair is something new ( being gay) is something new.
Non-black entertainers who [supposedly] take advantage of black culture to enrich themselves.
It was a perfect response
She didn’t do anything. All praises go to the photographer and the filters.
I edited to include French. Cause ninja I ain’t worried bout nothing ?
As 2018 draws to a close, let’s reflect on things that we would like to see gone in 2019.
_________________________________________________________________
One of the most important things should be for everyone to think for themselves, there isn’t a soul on the planet that can decide what I should like, dislike and/or wish bad on another.
People should research articles that are posted on EVERY blog as the writer may have his/her spin on it which may be far from the whole truth.
I’ve been posting for close to nine years on different forums, however given the extreme hate and nastiness, it’s no longer fun or something I personally enjoy.
I wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2019, it’s been real!
Kim said NORTH picked it! Then she said she might launch a new lipstick line.
I see Kris has taught her about the pimping game…
girl i chuckled at the ‘reverting’ and ‘puffing up’ …but aint a d@mn thing funny about this ignant azz woman thinking she was gonna flat iron YOUR hair, with her baldheaded azz!!!!!!!!!!
Good going, Ms. D!
1. The term “Power Couple”
Oh.
LMAOOO sure was!
girl!
eeoc AND a warehouse sz can of whoopazz!
9. Mubble Rap!!!!!
?????
i am HOLLERING at this list… and the sequence…. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
My personal addition is being an employee. That ish is an absolute HELL NAW in 2019 for me.
#7 IG Models
They portray themselves as wealthy entrepreneurs and model expensive clothing, bags and shoes
______________________
When I say Funky Dineva dropped an IG post about what’s tea on these “private jet club” models. He told it, suh!
Lmao!
Its a dope pic to me. She looks really pretty. Filters or not. She dont rock with the rest of em. Kendall and Rob dont bother me none.
-most of the wigs currently in circulation. (or at least ban the driving whilst wearing one… if one more bish in a stiff wig impedes my highway progress ’cause she can’t turn her neck!!!! *shakes fist*) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4978edc0044ffab937e6eec9100df838a8617ec8dace60eaf3bd0b8a80f3865a.gif
It’s on it’s way out. I’ve been hearing some nice beat (sad) slow songs hear lately.
If we could find her we could accidentally walk up behind her and get her weave caught in your purse zipper.
Chile that’s outright harassment
LOCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey Boo! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/42e766825cc2dd5dbc519049a6665384ef032d605184f428da26f418913d9567.gif
Some mumble rappers are good, such as Young Thug and Future. But I agree that Migos, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi and the rest should stay in 2018.
IGNORANCE,LACE FRONT WIGS , and STUPIDITY, just to name a few!
so she shouldn’t tell her story?
WHY would somebody’s pocket book be that close to a weave? LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
9. The Kartrashians and the Jenners
Leave all of them in 2018, including the kids. Without the Kartrashian influence, maybe Kanye West will make great music again.
SAY THIS AGAIN!!!!
Bwahahahaha…#4. Can we leave that thot pose in 2018
I will say this…….(kl)hoey’s face is beat!
I said it wuz a accident! *teehee*
He has really made an effort to change. Yes he still can be messy but admitting his bipolar owning it and making an effort to do better I can rock with.
11. the trump administration
2. Frontals
HA! I don’t know why this made me laugh so hard! So we’re gonna bond with other cultures via preventable diseases/health crisis?! GTFOH! That’s hilarious.
3. the knee bend/toe point when taking pics
I didn’t know he admitted to being bipolar. I did however, notice that he’s not much into his wigs and red lipstick like he use to be. I noticed THAT change.
Lol I heart you
I AGREE!! EVERY ONE OF THESE SHIYLD BE LEFT BEHIND!!????
my puffer zipper (bish would probably try to run off w/my purse hooked to that roadkill) *rolls eyes real hard*
That makes no sense…. you mention other nationalities in your posts and not just black people… sounds like self hate to me. Like I said why not address the actual reason why black women had to conform to a European standard of beauty and how other races emulate ya rather than constantly stick a dagger in black women
Are you leaving us for good? If so, it was a pleasure knowing you. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Take care. ??
I’m still waiting on ppl to name one Thing that Trump has has done negatively to black ppl. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TRUMP, NOT HIS POLITICAL BASE. Name one and I’ll agree if it’s true. Also name a good thing President Ibama did to position black positively in the future.
Wow that’s crazy! They forced the European standard of beauty in us for so many years and so many of us are lost. It’s so sad and in order to fix the problem we have to address where it came from. Nowadays women of other races are puffing up their lips, tanning and buying body parts to look like us
The list is OFF but I’m tired of the likes. Hey booski hope you had and have a wonderful holiday. You, your children and your boo will have a GREAT 2019 because I said lol and it’s written ??
LMAOOOOO
Agreed! #metoo was the death of the # for me!
Yeah and they were forced to change it in the 80s……. and I didn’t say anything was wrong corporate America and schools did. Your a “journalist” you have obviously seen the stories from the army to schools to the workplace where black women were told their protective styles were not ok
That capping is out of control. Seriously my “block” button is getting a workout.
BABY DOLL. Hey there! I hope and wish for you and yours the same!!! Did you get to see mom over the holiday? *hugs ya tight*

Gawd yes. ?????
You left off the best part: “hun.” ?
Lmfao. ??? Sandra said don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
(this might be me, come new year’s eve…. it’s been a lil rough in the ’18) ROFL! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/05fdab40d4d73c4b5feda3463fb52beb269dd0178cb3eb94f1ce963246586228.gif
Yea in one of his reviews he was talking and just candidly admitted it didn’t make it a big deal but explained a little and kept it moving. I didn’t use to care for him but this year at work I was bored and started watching his reality show reviews instead of watching the show and his growth is very nice to watch. He has a video about why he doesn’t wear his wigs too much or post to messy. Sis I really want and know you and your family will have a very great year. You have been my sis in my head and will always be thankful for the little gems you font whether it be finances to going off the grid. Keep shining ??
We should be embarrassed if we claim some the things these ppl do as our culture.
If she’s going to tell the story tell her involvement in it also not just the side that makes The R. Look bad. She IS NOT a total victim. She is a hypocrite.
I don’t do any of these already, so I’m good on this list.
Chile you better say a word you hear me?!!!
Trump
The feds took care of Tekashi69. I didn’t have to add him to the culture vulture list.
HOW did I forget about this Diva?? Can we please leave EJ?

? yeah, that too
I was looking thru the pictures thinking how nice until a bag of cash emptied on the floor popped up.
but it’s HER story to tell. you cannot (nor can I) dictate how a victim tells his/her story. you can give your opinion, but you can’t regulate how or how much.
I go in my pj’s when I’m rolling thru the drop off lane and not getting out the car… ????
Lol I though it meant lying or whaling
I thought it meant that too.
Aww thank you so much! This is what I needed to read/hear RIGHT NOW, AT THIS VERY MOMENT! Things have been stirring in me for a few days and WOW, JUST WOW, what YOU just said is like a light/confirmation. Thank you for the boost you just gave me IN THIS INSTANT! *hugs and kisses all ova’ yo face!* LMAOOOOO BRBL

*squeals* she’s here!!!! It was a rough year for her which made it rough with me in terms of her health but look at GOD she was cleared to fly, started gaining her weight back (119 is no good and was scary to see which prompted my decision to move there), getting back a little her smart ass mouth and trying to rest her up for the weekend. That’s my turn up partner, my bff, my whole heart and life ? we gotta drank this weekend chit priorities ???????
No class…
This is where I would purposely stop with the blowouts and come in with a full afro.
Stawp it!! What happens if your car breaks down on 285 and you’re in your yellow & pink Onesie?

Kid’s school is a 5 min drive/25 min play/walk for them.. Those rugrats walk unless we running late.

Jacques is annoying and thirsty. He loves attention.
Universe knows and honestly no bs I felt that from you since yesterday by what you typed. That’s why I said be careful of energy you allow. You NEVER know from who you will hear what you need but trust the process always. ?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8963c3cc3309fe8125fc9f437755fd3ea5f4d5b342be59733c84b3352c8a13e2.png

It can and it usually leads to arguments.
Ever had to delete someone from your fb feed becuase that is all they do?
I’m moving there next year. Been applying to jobs since Oct out there might have a transfer. I stopped for a little but will get back soon. Tying up loose ends and also have a better opportunity to start my business there finance wise. You not really behind because I was in and out and barely used my phone. Mind was on over load but was calm throughout. Now I’m like fck it we rolling with life ??
Facebook…never signed up for that. I don’t do social media period…unless you count this blog
Can we leave Mumble Rap in 2018? Take them to speech therapy or sumthin in 2019
Typically assigned to a security guard and a CNA. Not knocking their hustle but come on!!!
? thank you Nancy same too you. You have always been my team no hustling ass backwards ??
Number 9!!
At this pojnt even them are tired of the show, you don’t see most of them much anymore on the show. All you hear is about their side hustle. Kylie follow Travis Scott to make sure he don’t cheat. Khloe of them had a baby with a manh&e (now is acting as blond as her hair and just hides), Kendall is more into her fashion, Kourtney never really cared for the show as long as she is rich, Kim makes friends with whoever pays her 6 digits to hang and film with her (smart move). Rob (still hiding), Bruce or Caitlyn, poof be gone…
Their kids better not be on Disney
I signed the petition. Jacquees is a complete THORN in my flesh. Ugh!! Lord please remove these thorns!!!
He is moving back to Chicago. Hope he won’t just hang at the new rich area like Tao Nightclub (wonder wussup with that… why Tao in Chicago??)
LISTEN!!! I am for all of this. OMG. I am so happy for you sis. This is big. You can totally do it too. Im so excited. New year new start and new life.
Mumble rap will be gone here soon. Its like crunk music. It wasnt here to stay anyways.
LOL!!! Right….like stop it 5
Did young thug apologize to you?

Oh, I have another one to list.
?Musty co-workers or co-workers leaving bathroom stalls smelling like decaying perch.
So, a Supervisor asked HR if personal hygiene rules are anywhere in our policies and if not, can they (the supervisor) still mention to the offending employee that she has body odor.
I told her absolutely and give her possible solutions to end the problem and an “effective immediately” deadline to end the problem. It’s REALLY sad that this supervisor NEEDS to have this awkward and painful talk with her ADULT employee but if said employee is walking around stinking and is getting complaints from other staff, what else is there to do? Me personally, I have had to speak with an employee before about something similar, only this heffa wore the same Birkenstock sandals YEAR AROUND. IN the summer is was especially gross because her feet were VERY cracked and rough and dirt would be embedded in them. Yall, did I mention I work in HR and this chick did too as a Benefits Analyst. Smart as a whip, great customer service but her desk was a disaster, her appearance was disgusting and HER FEET were Satan’s hooves.
Hey, sometimes, you gotta do what you have to do, even if it’s uncomfortable!
?? weeps
You ain’t missing nothing, lol but it can get addictive.
It is stunning how folks post ALL of their business of fb or if they’re mad at someone, their business.
My memoirs will be sold…not told!
LOL! Making $86k with 2 pair of shoes…unfortunately that’s not uncommon. My old boss.
Let’s leave trolls and ritualists in 2018
I was looking for this, glad you said it.
??
The celebration of messing with married men.
Wow. Lol.
Question since you work in HR.
When companies verify employment, what type of information can legally be given? Also, what about school when trying to check a new employees college education. Can you shed some light please. Thank you.
IKR! Some of these folks make great money….and still be gross.
Hell, the Benefits Analyst was a salaried employee, making close to 50K. SINGLE (of course), had her IPMA and SHRM certifications….. and ALWAYS wore them damn hippie sandals, regardless of the weather.
LOL…I don’t have the best tact. Seriously, I can’t beat around the bush. I straight up told her the problem, the complaints, what needed to be done, the time frame to do it and the consequences of not doing it. She changed…and then quit a month later, lol. Oh, she was suited to work in HR…but perhaps in a plant, warehouse or a manufacturing building. Somewhere grimy like her feet. IJS.
ugh!! yes!!! I hate the ” I gotta pee” pose!!!!! yes!! leave it!!!
can they (the supervisor) still mention to the offending employee that she has body odor.

Co-worker, is that you? Do you work HERE????!!!! This is going on RIGHT NOW as I type! A bish comes in here SMELLING UP THE PLACE! Like bih, you don’t smell that? Yo HAIR is stuck to yo head. The WHOLE office reeks of vinegar and onions and Almighty forbid if you walk in the stall behind her (I’ve never had the experience, but bless the nostrils of the one’s who made the mistake). Sh!t is sad!

7. Instagram models
Instagram models are average-looking women who use filters and other image altering tools
Thanks for this one. I feel better about myself already!
It depends how it’s done and the company’s policy but at my organization:
Verbal (over the phone) Verification: We only verify employee status (active/separated, fulltime/partime/temp), Start date or end date and if eligible for rehire. The requestor can NOT talk to the department directly, regardless of who it is. ALL verifications must go through HR.
A written verification must include a signed authorization of release from the employee being verified. With that, we can verify all the above and include salary.
If the requestor wants to know about employee characteristics/approach to work and If the employee was fired for bad reasons or has disciplinary actions, we can list those BUT only if the employee was reprimanded about it and it’s on file. So if someone had a bad attendance problem, we can state, “had issues with attendance” as long as we have proof of it in the file.
If you are doing a back ground check as far as education, Driver’s license, drugscreen, criminal, etc. All can be verified as long as the employee signed a release..but we don’t do those for employees but applicants with the potential to be hired.

I get what the poster is saying. I’m on this blog for information coupled with entertainment. Nothing wrong with a little editorializing very now and then. This is not CNN.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE STOP!!!!!! PLEASE!
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER, I GOT OFF OF HERE AND FILLED OUT TWO JOB APPS! I SENT THE CONFIRMATION TO MY DAUGHTER………..WITH THE CAPTION THAT SAID……’TRUST THE PROCESS!’ Then I come in and see THIS!!!!! I’m SOOOOO EMOTIONAL NOW! Thank you!

What do you mean by “editorializing”?
If you’re Black, you’re not supposed to be enjoying your life! And everything you buy betta come from Ollie’s discount store.
Wow. Thank you for the insight. This is definitely helpful
GIRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! And THAT’S how/why the bish mad NOW! I KID YOU NOT! Seen me with a pair of boots and asked did I get them from this discount store (Gabes – if you know what that is)…..I CORRECTED HER and said they came from Nordstrom. The bish gone say “Nordstrom Rack?” “NO B!TCH, I SAID NORDSTROM!”…..So EVERY shoe I have on, the bish STILL has the audacity to KEEP asking! LIKE WTF! FOMF, WHORE!
HAAAAAA!!!!
You had me till you got to culture vultures. Cardi & post are far from it. They actually make some dope songs if you give there music a chance.

I know I’m gonna get cursed out but can we leave nappy a*s blonde wigs/weave on black woman and fake long a*s eyelashes with glue caked up on it behind too? I beg you!!!! Lets be natural yall! or atleast natural looking,
See u beat me to the Blonde wigs I just posted that, thought it was just me who can’t stand that sh*t!!! you forgot the fake eye lashes!!!!! lmao
LMAO ????!! This gif!!
1. The HoDashians including the tire-inflated lips, asses and tiddies.
2. Bragging about what you got.
3. Bad attitudes and self-hate. At Christmas dinner a relative who is around 58 y/o has had a chip on his shoulder all of his life, is cheap as hell and never smiles is still pulling away from anyone who gives him a hug. Definitely self-hate and anger issues.
4. Bad attitudes and self-hate. Yep repeating this one. Was in the store last week and a teenager around 14 y/o was on her cell and she was telling the person on the other end of the phone that she did not feel well and she explained the reason was that she didn’t fight anybody on the school bus and that she doesn’t feel well if she is not fighting at school. I kid you not. This young girl needs therapy and an outlet to find a way to love herself.
5. People who call themselves celebrities and all the people who fall in line and agree that they should be celebrated.
6. I see Forrest Whitaker is divorcing and is seeing other women with his one good eye. Let it go Forrest.
7. Fugging is highly overrated. Ain’t that much fugging in the universe where you have multiple partners and do it almost non-stop.
8. Fugging for money. It’s called prostitution. Stop spreading STDs.
9. Drug use of any kind. That weed that’s on these here streets today ain’t the same and will take you out.
10. Hurting children and babies. These are innocent angels who deserve all the best love, the best care and a happy childhood.
Lets leave behind in 2018
-sexless relationships. How in the hell is keke wyatt on her 3rd marriage with 10 kids gonna marry a man who said he hasnt had sex in 6 years. Cant take these people
-fat germofodes n vegeterians .They got a problem touching a door knob and walks around with a washrag in their hand all day wiping stuff down as if u gonna die but aint got no problem eating like a pig n aint particular about what u put in your mouth
-fashion nova models n their men. It is bad enuf 2 c them try on clothes 3 sizes toooo small. Now they got their man straight up lying 2 them telling them they look good. It looks like a comedy act n they b trying 2 look all cute.
-megan mccain on the view. Sick of her pimping her dads name 2 get jobs. She even tells the audience how 2 clap n b hollering n screaming all over the place.
The WHOLE crooked White House. I’m wit it. Lock them up!
Yes!! I call it the thot pose
Wow…didn’t know he was Africa
I do too…….but I can honestly say, when I get wealthy wealthy, I’m going to live a simple, “small (foreign) car, nice small 5 bed, 6 bath, more bedrooms for each of my small circle of frens, in home theater, library study, two oven, walk in wrap around pantry, drive up circle driveway with a fountain, two story foyer, 16-table seater dinette set, sitting room sitting room in my bedroom, guest house/mama quarters, linked by a hallway/tunnel in the lower level, generational, compound family house” life……..with two pair of shoes. Ya feel me? LMAOOOOOOOOO
Nailed this!
Yes. Morocco I believe ?
Er u left out men who r bad in bed n swear they b stroking like Clarence Carter

Jealousy is an Ugly monster.
All we do is verify date of employment date u left n position. We dont do anything else. We dont even fill out eligible for rehire bcas that say employee was horrible n we said something bad about them.
Cool!
Talking negatively about children
Every now and then like a special occasion the lashes are ok, but not on a daily, with glue all over the place and done by a novice ,it is a mess, add the blonde wig and we have a catastrophe.
And she’s a ole NARSTY uglass monster too.
LMAOOOOOOOO On which side next door….because troofolley……I might be buying up the block for my peoples. Like a whole live off the land, solar panels, rooftop garden, rain water catch, zen backyard, cherry blossom trees, recyclable materials made into some dope $hit you wouldn’t believe type of “rich”, hammocks and fire pits, speaker surround sound outside type living. But you’re welcome to stop by, we gone always have a personal vegan (but can fry some chicken every once in a while) chef on deck. LOL
I’m dying at Jacquees
I wonder if it’s different for certain industries. But I was thinking the same thing too. Only dates and position. I’m in oil and gas/chemicals
Yes!!!! Black women wearing blonde wigs….FIX IT JESUS!
ALL THOSE!!!!!! GIRL! SPOT ON!
Are you saying that if she would have worn her hair natural to the interview that some how that means it would have been unkept? Please look back at the response you gave above because that’s what it sounds you’re saying.
Somebody needs to stage an intervention with Janice Combs. She’s a repeat offender with that.

Because just like Jordan’s Memory stated, they are birds for cash. People will only do what you allow them to do.
They still do that.
Yep! TOP 3! I think I JUST CUT mama’nem off after this phn call I just got. So guess what, YOU got first dibs on the HER suite! *sings Jefferson theme*
Mental Illness is a big problem systemically, but Sandra is right about that, I work in Behavioral Health and in the LGBTQ it is very prevalent sister.
That is they do background checks. If a person didnt like u they can dog u out. A job cant stop u from getting another job. Have a friend do a dummy call 2 verify employment n c for yourself.
Bragging about everything you just bought?…please go away and enjoy your shit…
Hi-top lacefront. LMBAO!
Can we leave jlo behind? I’m sick of her being in the news for who’s dick she sucking at the moment
The LGBT community is at higher risk for mental health disorders and related conditions. The rates are higher for anxiety, depression, bipolar, borderline personality, suicide, etc., than in the general population. That’s a fact.

-baby hair
-beat faces for everything from going to the store, or church
-doing clothing hauls on you tube for clothes that don’t fit or look good
-lacefront down to your behind
-being extra for no reason
-stop calling kanye a genius
-any kardashian being seen as goals
-bragging about this, that and the third
-no more wash and go videos
LMMFAO!!!! Good grief!
NOT ME, lol….but I did give guidance to the Supervisor and I have also had to talk to an employee about her…issues.
For the life of me, I don’t understand how adults simply won’t wash their butts. I mean….you can legit go to the DOLLAR TREE..spend $5 and get several hygiene items. Now they might not be the best but it damn sure beats smelling some musty troll living his/her best funky life. IJS, there is NO excuse!
Absolutely!!!, I work with children so I see it a lot. Even trying to get them in residential placement for treatment is a challenge because of gender dysphoria. Facilities want to put them in the areas that fit the gender they are born with. This even causes problems in treatment. So I whole heartedly agree with you.
Sometimes I feel like I tell what the writer’s opinion is ….
i am not leaving reality tv NOWHERE !!! i love LHH & Love after Lockup?

People watching and Hypocrisy … because WE ALL do things and should stop judging people especially for petty things … Like why do YOU care what I do with MY hair or MY money or anything I do for that matter … DO YOU and leave ME alone unless I’m actually bringing you or yours harm. Oh and Grammar nazis … Like are you a teacher and if so go grade some papers and let me spell boy like boi if I want lolololol ….

Love this post! I agree with all 10. ??
So…Sandra…does that mean we will see no posts about the Kardashians or IG models as “women we should know” in 2019? ?
THIS!!!!!
So you deleted my comments responding to you? Super narrow minded and one sided. In fact you removed both my comments. I should have expected that coming from you either way. The self hate is real! Instead of persecuciting black women persecute the European standard of beauty that we were forced to abide by and the 60s was a movement that was cancelled out in the 80s when the army , workplace and sachools didn’t allow protective styles. Guess you will delete this too tho
Lmao or offcheat???

Bragging on social media about all your cars, jewelry etc.
This was a horrible list
I endorse this message
Things I’d like to remain in 2018
1. Facebook – I shall never again use this again. Tired azz old acqaintances and family faking life on there. If I want to talk to you, I will call or text.
2. On Instagram
-People attacking celebrities for commenting on multiple posts.
– I said what I said
– Don’t @ me
– Let’s argue
-Verification badge offers
– Eye shadow application models
-Beef on the Gram
3. Band wagon riders that bash children for laughs
4. Jacquees singing anything besides You
5. Celebrities posting cars they can’t drive
6. Instagram celebrities that change boyfriends/girlfriends at the same speed that a stoplight changes colors
7. Crying on Live for attention
Or Offsex
It annoys my eyes.? Letters all the same big size yet the periods, commas & such stay the usual size so you can’t see them, making the comment look like a one-sentence paragraph.?
A crazy, irresponsible, hatin’ bish!!!
The world would be a greater place without side chicks and the Kardashians…
Wait I said the Kardashians twice ?
wutizagranny I do not agree
