Well, here we are with another Post-Racial America update, folks. I gotta tell you, things here are getting better and better with each passing year. Lemme see, I think this is year number three, no? Yes, it’s funny how far we’ve come in such a short period of time. Today, we have a Republican Congressional [...]
Have you noticed just how the GOP establishment has been rallying around Mitt Romney? They’ve pretty much settled on Mitt being that ugly girl they’re taking to the prom. So seriously, they’re doing all they can to sink the tugboat that is Newt Gingrich. All the while, said establishment hasn’t been paying as much as [...]
I’ve really been cracking up this week at just how Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have been both fighting over Ronald Reagan’s legacy; or, which one of them Reagan would choose today to give him a blowjob. OK, so that may be a little bit extremist of me; lord knows the 12th commandment forbids anyone from [...]
While some might be quick to cite the failures to right the ship that is America as all the more reasoning to get that ni–… uh, let’s not go there today… “Marxist” out of office this coming November, I am happen to prescribe to a different line of thinking personally… Me? I am more of [...]
I really got a kick out of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney’s exchange on, well, everything in last night’s GOP debate. But what really made me laugh was that they brought up Newt’s idea of building a colony on the moon; an “American” colony at that. No word yet as to whether English would be [...]
At this very moment in time as I type this, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I recently wrote about fellow Tennesseans who just so happen to be members of the Tea party and their presentation of a list of demands to our state lawmakers. Among the requests was the demand to remove [...]
By now, everyone knows about the arrest of four East Haven police officers following a federal investigation into years of profiling and brutality. And anyone with half a brain can see that this situation is not simply about a few “rogue” officers who got “out of line”. No, this is a result of a culture [...]
Racism and bigotry… This year, political hopefuls and elected officials seem to be wearing the ignorant tags like an expensive, well-tailored suit and my home state of Connecticut offers no exceptions. After the FBI arrested four East Haven, CT police officers for gross instances of racial profiling and terrorization of Latinos navigating the town; assistant director-in-charge of the NY [...]
Pariah (puh-rayh-uh) noun: 1) a person without status 2) a rejected member of society 3) an outcast I will never forget the first time my mother called me a faggot. It was Thanksgiving 2004. We had just gotten home from visiting my grandfather in the hospital. My mother and I had gotten into a fight, [...]
Recently I mentioned how the state of Tennessee has become more of a “red state” since 2010′s midterm elections. I’ve told you about the new Voter ID law, and a couple other changes. Changes that, well, would be disadvantageous to people of color. Well, let’s just say that if you ever needed more proof to [...]
So I see that my right-wing friends are running around today like hit dogs. Oh that’s right, president Obama hurt their po’ lil’ feelings in last night’s State of the Union speech to the joint session of Congress. It Kinda makes sense that they’d be talking all this shit today. Of course you know they [...]
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 [...]
