Spring Forward

Here we are in the Spring Semester, The Black Community. We come back to campus after getting our Precious with Christmas Food, sitting on Mom’s Couch watching TV for hours, and indulging in copious amounts of alcohol during New Years. We have a full 5 months ahead of us until we get through the certified boring semester, and get to the semester that really matters, Summer.

TSID's Year in Review

Before we move forward into 2012, The Black Community, let’s take a look back at how we got here. 2011 was a great year for entertainment at the expense of others. People were making bad decisions and Black People Twitter and a newly introduced The Set Is Dead was there to cover it. We’ll start at the beginning of the year, June, when our beloved The Set Is Dead was born.  The campus was silent, and The Set empty as always, when we decided to revive the beloved forum of The Black Community and bring it to the Internet.

New Year, Same Lies

Welcome to The New Year, The Black Community. We leave the murderous December of 2011, and catapult directly into January, which is sure to be filled with fake ambitions. No Wale. Each year we in The Black Community take a break from the debauchery and drunk driving of New Years to announce to the world that we are preparing to change our lives for the better, although everybody will be back to their terrible selves by February.

The Circle of Life(styles)

World AIDS day just passed, The Black Community, reminding us all about the dangers of reckless smashing. It was a motivating day of activities. There were wondrous awareness seminars full of big numbers and perplexing statistics. Ninjas were making a big spectacle of ensuring every girl in sight witnessed them reaching for gold wrapped condoms, as they stroked their small egos. Menacing employees from the Health Department had us convinced that sex is the most terrifying thing since the first time you watched The Exorcist. With these important factors in mind, we reflected on the impact of sex in our small community.

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 "Underworld"

Well, here we are again The Black Community. We told you that the concept of Undercover Brothers was a hotly debated topic. Since our post on Wednesday, this topic has generated more discussion from our community than the evils of Student Government, the FBK Illuminati, Celebrity Greeks, the failures of FAMU, and typical Relationship Forums combined. The arguments were even intelligent and well written. UF must be forcing English classes into the curriculum. The comments section was more live than The Set. Legions of anons were down there letting us know how they feel. Pause.

Undercover Brothers

In our post on “The Relationship Problem” there was a discussion in the comments section about Black Women choosing better men to solve the problem, as if that would ever happen. Anonymous left a comment saying “Yeah because we have soooo many options”. We took that to mean “There aren’t any more Athletes to choose from”. They certainly aren’t getting on the guys that live in Marston, if anyone even has the courage to walk in that library without fear of a black eye. So where have all the eligible black men gone? Women are framing this as if there was a Black Man shortage, and we believe them too, by the looks of The Set. Ask any woman where the good men are, and she’ll tell you they’re either in Tyler Perry movies or Gay.
