Ice-T and his business partner Jorge Hinojosa teamed up to producer and direct a documentary about the life of pimp turned author Iceberg Slim.

I got a chance to see this film in its entirety at the Atlanta Film Festival a couple of months ago. I can tell you that that trailer for the film does it's job by making the movie look enthralling and entertaining, but it is a tab bit misleading. The film doesn't glorify pimping at all. In fact it takes you to a darker place than any of Slim's books. It shows the impact the game had on his mind and family. I don't want to spoil any of it for you, but know that it is worth checking out if you want an honest account of what "the game" is really like after the furs and rings are gone ...READ MORE

Does it take a White man to tell Black folk what we should have been saying to each other for decades? Perhaps so.

'In Dark Girls, Hip-Hop author and journalist Soren Baker, a white man who's married to an African-American woman, describes his early attraction to women of all races-and shares his father's reaction. Plus, another man in an interracial relationship discusses his wife's skin tone.'

- OWN

'Dark Girls' premieres this Sunday, June 23, on OWN, at 10/9 PM CST. This ought to be good. Oprah might just have as many fellas watching this show on her network.
