By now I’m sure you folks know how I feel about those not-so-new but racist Voter ID laws; yep, no need to rehash that today. However, I do want to take a minute to show you how every brother ain’t a brother. Yes, I know, some people are of the opinion that all Black folks [...]
I am so damn sick and tired of Occupy Wall Street. Every so called “progressive” I know of is riding the #OWS dick like it is going out of style. Me? I can’t stand the shit. For the most part, I see most of the protests that have been inspired by Occupy Wall Street to [...]
Wiki says: Emetophilia is a paraphilia in which an individual is aroused by vomiting or observing others vomit. When emetophiles put emetophilia into practice by actually vomiting, especially on a partner, it is called a Roman shower, after the commonly-supposed (but mistaken) belief in the frequent induction of vomiting at Roman feasts. Some emetophiles find the act of vomiting arousing; for them, [...]
I’d love to take this opportunity to discuss SlutWalk and the dual (and often dueling) marginalization faced by Black women in any mainstream movement. I know that, as usual, I’m fashionably late to the party, because careful consideration is very typical of my type-A personality. SlutWalk, like many other movements grew exponentially and the original [...]
Last Friday, 34-year-old Zurana Horton’s instincts prompted her to throw herself on top of a group of children in front of a Brownsville public school and shield them from gunfire coming from a rooftop. As a result, Zurana was fatally shot in the head… dying instantly. Later, 18-year-old Andrew Lopez (who was arrested along with [...]
Yes, yes….I knew the #Occupy #Movement would make it’s way to the West Coast. I counted the days until it did, you see, I realize that we are close now. Close to what, you ask? Close to our melt down. California is a unique wok of cultures and races, and if nobody else knows how [...]
Funny, I often feel like I’m chained to the internet. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Goodreads, Podomatic, and now here. I think there’s even a Myspace page out there somewhere with my name on it. Yet, I know I’m not nearly as connected as a lot of you out there. And, to be completely honest, I ignore [...]
After seeing Herman Cain ripped to shreds by his opponents in the last Republican debate. I couldn’t help but to think that he’d be going down like a crack whore in a parked car. But lo and behold, according to polls, he has surged more than ever. Even more surprising to me was the fact [...]
I’m not sure if this situation is widely known, or just how many folks are aware. However, it woukd appear that there’s a serial rapist targeting Black women. More specifically, it appears he has a thing for members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority in the Dallas, TX. area. Now the fact that this story [...]
The other night, I happened to look over and saw a sea of sleeping blankets and I smiled because it was the section where a group of parents and their children, representing the heartland of America, did a “sleep over” as a show of solidarity with the Occupation of Wall Street. I smiled as they [...]
I almost feel bad for having to add to the steaming pile of pungent articles that already surround this weeks internet sensation regarding a 14 year old girl who was filmed while giving head to a young man. Too bad, the young man wasn’t smart enough to keep their little interlude as a private matter [...]
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 [...]
