So Mitt Romney managed to squeeze out a win in Michigan’s primary yesterday. His slim margin of victory over Rick Santorum was so close, that many are calling it a loss. But hey, as they say in sports: a win is a win. Yep, and a win is what Romney needed desperately – at least [...]
I’m no connoisseur of vintage adult publications, but do consider the elements that went into creating them during their time, quite interesting; specifically the role Black artists, photographers, models, and distributors (if any) played in the world of vintage adult periodicals and magazine publishing, as we don’t often see information charting the history and are [...]
The first I noticed of the lawsuit recently filed in federal court, by the tribe I am proudly a member of was a link on Facebook that led to an article in a local paper. After I read it, I admit, I was astonished. The person who linked it was another tribal member who had [...]
Last week, I wasn’t too sure whether Rick Santorum was running for president, or to replace the Pope. No seriously, Santorum completely lost me when he brought Satan into the political conversation last week. But I guess if you’re running for the job that requires you to end every speech with, “God Bless America,” then [...]
To become a religion it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy Apparently, people are up in arms about the humanist/atheist/non-theist group African Americans for Humanism reaching out to the Black community through billboards during Black History Month. I don’t know if the outrage is mostly because people know that atheists eat babies [...]
It took me a bit of a spell to mull this post over, as there were so many thoughts to sift through, particularly since the myriad of things have been reported in the press since Whitney Houston’s death and funeral and there has been much commentary regarding fame, fan-dom, and drug-abuse. Houston, perhaps one of [...]
Speaking of wealthy out-of-touch white men not named Mitt Romney. America’s most beloved angry white man Pat Buchanan, makes an argument against poverty that would make any one-percenter smile from ear to ear while throwing tomatoes at hoards of impoverished Americans lined up at soup kitchens across the country. Not that I know whether uncle [...]
Okay, three guys are interviewing to cause the black unemployment rate to rise by one more this coming January are presented with a question… “Nine states have voted so far. We talked a bit earlier about the volatility in the race. The people of Arizona vote Tuesday. Michigan, on Tuesday. Wyoming and Washington State, then [...]
In a piece titled “President Obama as an alien,” Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. discusses the series of seemingly baseless and idiotic claims made to delegitimize president Obama in the last three years. I’m not sure if you’ve heard any of the many visceral reactions that fail to cast president Obama in the best of [...]
I got wind of the following information last week listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show. And I’m not gonna lie; this info totally blew my mind. Now I must admit, I’ve been watching this natural hair revolution of sorts by my beautiful Black sisters; and, as far as trends go, I figured it would [...]
So, I think the internet exploded sometime over the last couple of days with the speculation that Chris Brown and Rihanna had reunited. Then for Rihanna’s birthday, she and Chris Brown exchanged tweets and released new music together. I spied with mine own eyes, the entire Gen-whatever-they’re-called running rampant on twitter, and the folks who [...]
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 [...]
