Dropped.

Well that was finished just about as quick as it started. That’s what she said. In a sneaky move, VH1 is airing the final three episodes of Sorority Sisters to what TV producers call the “Friday night death slot”, not to be confused with what some of your more popular twitter followers are offering in your DMs. It’s where they move all the great shows such as “World’s Funniest Fails” and “Crazy Kooky Animals”. Its heart wrenching to see our upstanding Black queens on TV trying to win ratings against some videos an intern found on YouTube. And during founders' month of all times, obviously VH1 didn’t do their homework, as the Greeks say.

Sorority Sisters Episode 2 Review

It’s back again this week, The Black Community. Despite all the Twitter protesting and promises not to buy any more Motions Pink Hair Lotion as a boycott to advertising, Sorority Sisters is still on the air. Based on the mass hate watching that occurred last week, it’s now competing for ratings with Love and Hip Hop. Great job Outrage Twitter!

Sorority Sisters Episode 1 Review

Last night The Black Community came together as one unified group, putting aside our petty differences to sit and watch the controversial new show Sorority Sisters on our beloved VH1. This came right on the heels of that cluster in DC where new-wave Twitter Activists and old-school Al Sharpton couldn’t agree on who deserved to be the face of Black outrage. It’s great to see that we can finally compromise on important issues like VH1 shows. #Priorities

THE FINAL FISS

This is the weekend that everyone was waiting for. The time where everybody comes back to Gainesville to have liq pumping through their veins for a constant 72 hours before Gainesville returns to its old boring self again. This was probably our last trip to FISS, but Gainesville put on a great weekend that was probably one of the best FISS shows  in recent memory. And for some of us, we done seen like 7 or 8 FISS shows, because you know, the way my grades are set up...

Where Did We Go Wrong?

Black UF Twitter was on and poppin' yesterday,  for probably the first and last time this semester. A guy on Twitter had his mentions blow up after he dropped a comment that might have been insulting to some NPHC organizations. And you know them ninjas can be sensitive. UF Black Twitter was a movie, and we had the popcorn ready.

The Weekend That Was

We must have gotten lost somewhere in The Black Community, because apparently the first week of April is when shit is on and poppin'. Everything in the world was happening, and the hypeness of last weekend looked like something out of FISS weekend (which alas isn't hype anymore). Everyday damn day some event was happening, and we damn near died trying to attend it all, let alone write a post about it. Check out the reviews of last weekend's big events.

Probate Season 2013

Sunday marked the beginning of Probate Season for us here in The Black Community. Probate Season came early this year, with a Zeta Probate in late February, while most of us were still recovering, with our livers and financially, from FISS. An early probate is technically better for the new members than say, early April, so the Seniors (and Super Seniors!) don't graduate into oblivion the next week, before they even get to enjoy their newfound celebrity status.

FISS Fiasco

Well the most coveted weekend in BHM brought lots of excitement to our little Titletown, and the energy left promptly with the last dumb girl who woke up next to some random Frat ninja at the Red Roof Inn the next morning, and then quickly went on her way. And just like those girls that woke up half-naked not knowing where they were, we felt the same way once FISS Weekend was over.

Revolution Round 2

What's up, The Black Community? Where y'all been? It's almost time for the fall semester, and Summer B came and went while nobody noticed. It was the most barren Summer B of all time, OF ALL TIME KANYE. Shit, even The Set Is Dead was dead for a while. Maybe ninjas were actually studying this Summer B. Nah, never that. 8 Year Graduation plan for life! We were just about to write about how uneventful Summer B was this year, when The Black Community intervened earlier this week with this newfound Twitter Revolution. We weren't even going to touch this one. We were once a Twitter Philosopher for a day and organized a Revolution to revive The Set, and we all remember how that went. Epic Fail. It wasn't one of our proudest moments.

Probate Season Vol. 2

Probate Season is over, The Black Community, and all our friends have come back from their mysterious disappearance. We come off one of the busiest probate seasons in recent history (at least since we’ve been here; our History Keepers from 2006 can probably recall another time from “the good ole days..”), and now everybody is Greek. With the prospect of attending Probates, The Black Community finally shows up in attendance to something since our failed revolution last month. The Set Is Still Dead folks, but Probate Season is alive! 

Apocalypse

It’s 2012, The Black Community, meaning that the Florida Blue Key Illuminati is hastening their plans to destroy the world in December. They’ll destroy UF piece by piece before finally turning their eyes to The Black Community. But they don’t need much help. The Black Community is already heading towards Armageddon. Bernie “The Finance Furher” Machen and his SS Dean of Student’s office looms over the campus, ready to expel any Black Person that steps out of line. BSU gets less money every year, at least that's what UNITE tells us when they try to brainwash us into voting for them. Nevermind constantly having Black People in executive positions. Finally, The freshman class gets lamer by the decade, making UF the most boring place to live since The Polos. This could be the end of The Black Community as we know it.

FISS Sing-Along Guide

Here is it, your sing-along guide to FISS 2012. The theme for this year was Back to the Basics, mixing the old school with new school. The Black Community has been begging for FISS to finally bring all 9 teams to the O’Dome and this year we finally got it. Be careful what you wish for. It’s both a blessing and a curse. A blessing in those 9 teams looks good on paper. A curse in that 3 teams embarrassed themselves.

Black History Month: FAMU Comes to UF

Via (Source & Source)

Ahhh…Shit., The Black Community. UF done went and pulled a FAMU. Black History Month continues to be a terrible month for Black People, nevermind the irony in that statement.  First the Soul Train creator dies, then two of the arguably best Black Porn stars, one if you’re not into midgets, went and caught the AIDS, and The Game continues to be an epic disappointment. The Black Community just can’t win out here. Instead of having an uplifting event each day of February like BSU wants us to, every day brings us a new tragedy. Obama may even resign at the end of the month. The Black Community would be shattered.

Probate Season

Probate season comes near the end of every semester, and finally explains where our friends have gone for 2 months. People in The Black Community randomly disappear during the semester, and then come out freshly shaven and angrier than ever on a stage one random night. We in The Black Community love these events. White People may have Gator Growl, but we have Probates.

The PC Life

"All Free Everything!"

The White Community lives a sheltered life, not having to worry about diversity or ensuring Gator Growl will have an act that they can relate to. Most in The Black Community are oblivious as to how The White Community operates, being so enveloped with the problems in our community, what with having to bring a bodyguard with you the library now. We see our fellow fair-skinned students all over campus, in their leggings, sunglasses with the athletic strap, and those orange and blue raincoat type things, whatever they’re called. In order to claim diversity, one must understand the other communities surrounding them. This information is crucial if we The Black Community are to succeed at the PWI we call home. And to finally get Lil Wayne to perform at Gator Growl.

We Are FAMUly!

Monday marked the 124^th Anniversary of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, also known as FAMU, or “That School Where All the Black People Are”. FAMU is that school we always like to compare ourselves against when something goes bad here at the Good Ol’ U of F. “Gator Football team is 0-12? “Well at least we’re still better than FAMU”. The UF admissions committee reverts back to segregation as its student admission policy? “Well, that’s because we don’t want to end up like FAMU”. Naked pictures leak of the community’s favorite shone? “It’s still not worse than that FAMU Sextape, did you see that lacefront???” No matter what tragedy happens on the UF Campus, the consensus within The Black Community is that we will forever be better than FAMU. Which got us to thinking, what if UF was just like FAMU? That is, what if UF was composed of just The Black Community? *Shudders* Cue the ripples and fade to black.

A Political Tragedy in 2 Parts

It’s voting season, The Black Community, and that means you’re about to be annoyed more than ever before. The only rival to be more annoying than campus politicians are those damn Humans vs. Zombie nerds. And even then, you get to see the dorks get randomly tackled in broad daylight. But with this voting season, you can't win. It’s now impossible to even walk to class without 4 campus politicians invading your personal space.

The Treatise of The Greeks

We keep on rolling, The Black Community, and we find ourselves in the midst of NPHC Week. Hundreds of potential hopefuls will attend all the events, convinced that they will be making a good showing to some organization, only to be slapped in the face with the unexpected: There is no Greek reward for attending the events! You’d be better off playing hide and go seek with interest meeting flyers around campus. One event, however, intrigues us “True Life I’m Greek: The Miseducation of Black Greekdom & This Title’s Too Long” Hosted by Lauryn Hill. We predict a heated debate, full of high emotions and weave throwing. Here’s our take on the event to come.
