"Have you ever been in an argument with someone when you suddenly realize that they're either right, or they have a damned good point? This is the feeling that will permeate your mind continuously as you read "It Ain't Just the Size," by M.G. Hardie. From the lesbian couple to the weed smoking "thinker", M.G. is able to cross racial lines, relationship lines, and social taboo- to answer real questions from real viewpoints." -ChicFabu
"The title and plot of your book is very interesting and emphasizes an important point. "It ain't just the size" of one's body part(s), it's the size of one's heart, pocket, mind, intentions, dreams, love for community, love for self,... love for life, love for intellect, love of right action, and more...Very often, when relationships are being sought or judged the focus is too shallow for a spiritually rich outcome." - C. Jones
"It Ain't Just the Size. by M. G. Hardie is an excellent dialogue of today's real and very troublesome issues. If we all can read it, parents, adults, and young adults, with open hearts and minds, I believe you, too, will consider it a must-read! Indeed, you'll find, like I did, that issues addressed in the book come to mind to ponder over and over."

Early on in Oprah's career she had racist come on her show to express their point of view, but she vowed to no longer have then on and since she has went to great lengths to bring on racial uniters. Why not do the same with music? Why not with men in general and with black men in particular

Showing that he is a true hip hop student, Kanye's song nods to Snap's 1990 hit "The Power". The hook may not be quite as catchy as "I've got the power", but Kanye's "Power" shows the power, hope and promise of Hip Hop, especially when you study your craft. The song "Power?, aside from powerful social commentary, is addressed to his many haters. Everyone should seriously take the time and really listen to his lyrics in "Power", especially the remix. In the remix Kanye West raps in Arabic, I wonder if 20% of Americans will believe that he is a Muslim, like they do President Barack Obama

Calling a Spade a Spade-Book Review
Karen Hunter doesn't just 'Bring It' when it comes to Black America, but she also mixes it up with jaded American in general. When she isn't lamenting on her life experiences she is calling a spade a spade
