There have been movies that have changed faces and have led to subsequent outcries. Is this something really worth being upset over? IS this something to bat an eye at? The new actress cats as Arielle (Halle Bailey) is caught in the crossfire of heated debate surrounding the new look Little Mermaid and we believe that both sides have thoughts to reconsider. How should we view Hollywood's take on 'representation' in film? How should we view diversity hires in general? We give our two cents...

Daren is going out of town so you'll have to wait for our last installment of the Biblically Manhood series for once he is back. Until then...we sat and had a candid conversation about some of what was discussed during the previous episode. What are some things we missed? We try and recollect some poisonous thoughts about manhood that is pervasive in society. Also, is there REALLY a such thing as manhood that is toxic? Our answer would shock you.

Throughout the history of the country, fathers have been a staple of a healthy society. Fatherlessness is the antithesis. When we look around and we see society crumbling, we need to look at our homes. Before we point the finger of blame too fast, there is much at play when it comes to the tragedy of fatherlessness today. Today, we dive deep into the realities and causes of fatherless homes in our society and especially in black American homes.
