I used to made it a habit to poke fun at Michael Steele whom I affectionately called “Captian Coontastic” for his many well publicized gaffes as RNC Chairman. But you know what? Now that he no longer fills this role, Steele looks amazingly smarter than perceived now that he’s cashing MSNBC checks. Of course I [...]
Dear Mark Halperin, There’s nothing wrong with thinking president Obama “acted like a dick yesterday,” when he got all up in the ass of House Republicans. Furthermore, it’s expected that one thinks he “acted like a dick,” if one agrees with what House Republicans have in store for the country, and more importantly how they [...]
This was too funny, and I had to share… Maybe one day Black people will be able to shed the monolithic stereotype, and the false assumption of voting for Barack Obama because of his skin color. Maybe one day we can prove it once and for all that we as Black people are more concerned [...]
I’m telling you, the GOP is only concerned with destroying president Obama. They don’t care about anything else. So much so that if it came down to stopping another terrorist attack on U.S. soil? The GOP will be the welcome wagon. They’ll be like, “Oh gee, come on in mister terrorist… yep, g’head and blow [...]
[Editor's Note: I'm off and running to a few doctor appointments today. In the mean time, check out the following guest post from my man "Carey Carey" of the blog Carry Me Home. So show him some love.] Shout out to all the hypocritical Negroes who complain about BET being an embarrassment to Black America, but [...]

A couple of days ago I was floored to discover that one of my favorite paranormal writers, L.A. Banks was fighting late stage renal cancer. Her editor notes that she is in an “uphill battle” that also includes skyrocketing health care costs. Ironically, this video is of Banks talking about her healthcare insurance issue a [...]
[Note: Aside from its better-known definition of a Latin@ dance form, Mambo is the term for a female High Priestess in the Vodou religion. They are the highest form of clergy in the religion, whose responsibility it is to preserve the rituals and songs and maintain the relationship between the spirits and the community as [...]
A good friend and longtime reader hit me up this week and mentioned that North Carolina was attempting to right their wrongs by compensating women who were sterilized via a Eugenics program. I kinda knew that this was the practice in many states back in the day, but when I really looked into it this week, I [...]
First of all, E-Verify isn’t a “federal law,” as the turd in the video above says – it has yet to be federally mandated. As of right now employers have the option of using it or not to check the employment eligibility of potential and current workers, But more on that in a future post, [...]
Last week after Pres. Obama’s made his “evolution” on gay marriage public, my initial thought was: great, now they’re going to say that Obama is gay, and all gay people are now going to vote for him because of it. You know, pretty much in the same way all black people voted for him in [...]
Apparently, in the state of Tennessee it’s perfectly legal to commit what’s known as highway robbery. However, if you expect such acts to the the undertaking of the obvious shady criminal element riding a horse and dressed in black as were the bad guys of the wild west, you’re sorely mistaken. Unlike the days of [...]
There is not a person in this country who does not know that the police engages in racial profiling. If a Black person says they are not aware of this practice, they are either not yet beyond the toddler stage of life, or being intentionally deceptive in hopes of receiving special considerations from the white [...]
As if Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wasn’t bad enough, in steps Shaun Winkler, a white supremacist running for sheriff. As a Republican, Winkler hopes to become Bonner County, Idaho’s next sheriff. As anybody running for office will tell you, media attention is something welcomed and often sought by candidates. That said, not one [...]
I think that one of my proudest moments in life happened at the beginning of this year: my younger brother – a heterosexual Black adult male – joined me in the fight against Amendment One by taking a photo with me, donning “Vote Against” t-shirts. For about a year, I’ve worked tirelessly against the passing [...]
