OK… so it’s the day after Memorial Day. All the BBQ’s are over and yet, the debate still continues about whether a woman should fix her man’s plate or not.
[FLASHBACK: Nightline Face-Off: ‘Why Can’t Successful Black Women Find a Man? (VIDEO)]
The discussion began about a week ago on Twitter and Facebook, when a meme popped up inquiring the following:
Soooooooooooo you are at a barbeque. Your man is hungry. He lets you know he is hungry but you are not the kind of woman to go around ‘fixing plates’ for a man so you ignore him.
A random woman hears this and says, ‘I will fix your plate.’ She sashays away and comes back with a plate for your man.
Do you have any problems with this?
The battle has continued and it’s actually getting quite entertaining. I personally don’t have a problem ‘fixin plates’ but apparently there are a lot of women who feel ‘some kinda way’ about the question even being asked…

In news you won’t see everyday… a Black Atlanta man held a White carjacking suspect at gunpoint until police arrived (and lived to tell the tale).
An Atlanta man held a would-be carjacker at gunpoint until police arrived and arrested the suspect, according to police.
Hashim Fannin, the car owner, says the attempted carjacking occurred just after he had pulled into a parking spot at a Family Dollar in northwest Atlanta earlier this month. The man slipped into the passenger seat when the car’s doors automatically unlocked.
?He told me, ?You know what this is,?? Fannin said. That’s when the flip was switched on the would-be carjacker!
Fannin was armed and held the perpetrator at gunpoint until police arrived. Witnesses caught the incident all on tape!

NEWSFLASH! Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame (formerly of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta) is apparently ditching the Republican party.
It was just last November that Waka was roasted online for publicly supporting? Republican David Perdue for U.S. Senate in Georgia last year (click HERE if you missed that).
A few months after that melee, the popular rapper also announced a marijuana-influenced presidential campaign.
