I have really made a concerted effort not to get too engrossed in the so-called “debt-ceiling” debacle which is unfolding right now in the halls of the Capitol. Listening to the “pundits” and so-called journalists hype up something that will have dire consequences for so many Americans is, I find extremely distasteful and only adds [...]
The other day, I was sitting down with a casual acquaintance engaged in a rather interesting conversation. As often happens when you’re having a good time, time seemed to fly and my friend excused himself. When pressed, he admitted he had to go home because he and the wife had scheduled time for sex. He [...]
When growing up, two cats in a yard was the American Dream. Detroiter, Julie Bass upped that vision by planting organic vegetables in her front landscape as opposed to itchy grass and birds of paradise. A mother and avid urban green thumb, Bass decided to take on the project because purchasing organic food in a [...]
So I’m hearing that upon release, Casey Anthony will be whisked away to a secret location and a new identity. Oh the lenghts “certain people” will go to protect a baby killing white woman – sucks to be you O.J. Simpson. Speaking of baby killers, let’s meet a little know “baby killer” who just so [...]
Speaking of lacking: I do hope the space shuttle Atlantis returns to earth from it’s mission with some jobs found floating around in space. I mean, I happen to know at least 14 million people who could use a job or two. And besides, it pains me to see my beloved president poke his head [...]
Because this is currently being spotlighted in Wisconsin, I can’t say with good conscience say whether this is yet another agenda of Republicans. I can’t say whether this is an exclusive Republican agenda because there are many Democrats tied to the Prison Industrial Complex. However, I would say that capitalism isn’t partisan; and, given certain [...]
Isn’t it always the case the book is better than the film? The book’s success withstanding, it seems the controversy surrounding Kathryn Stockett’s “The Help” has taken on a life of its own. It appears the line between fiction versus non-fiction has been blurred and no one can tell which is which anymore. Despite the [...]
So Michele Bachmann said that Black kids were better off being born into slavery than from the time President Obama took office. Supposedly he took his inaugural oath, and spawned the dreaded single Black mother. Which obviously is much worse than being born into slavery. Sure it was a little oppressive; but at least Black [...]
by Eco.Soul.Intellectual At first glance, this woman looks harmless. Something like a really cool grandmother, or perhaps a teacher. However, Dr. Beverly Hall, former Superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools is in waist deep shit with the release of the Governor’s Office for Student Achievement investigation regarding cheating on Criterion Reform Competency standardized tests in [...]
And how could I possibly have known that all my martial artswould fail meagainst the flowers and the laughterthat were your forward troops,the outstretched heartof your army? Dearest: You are attracted to mutual sexual energy. Yes, it is true that you love your friends and family as well as your lover. But the unique aspect [...]
God Bless The “Hedge Fund Loophole” & The Republicans Who Protect It So while there’s an ongoing debt ceiling debate over cuts in spending and the need for and increase in revenue by removing gov’t subsidies to huge corporations. Did you know that just by eliminating the tax loophole for hedge fund managers itself, would raise more [...]
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 [...]
