Word on the street is that the Chicago teachers strike has officially ended. I’m not too sure about the details, but word is that the teachers union voted to suspend the strike this afternoon, and classes will resume as early as Wednesday. I’m not sure if both sides have come to an amicable agreement, but [...]

Did you hear the one about the mother of five who found her ex-boyfriend living in her attic some twelve years after breaking up with him? I read the story yesterday and figured there’s no way I’m buying this story. No seriously, there’s no way in the world someone can live in anyone’s attic without [...]

Listen, Chicago’s teacher strike is very necessary and not just about money as some would have you believe it to be. I won’t presume to having a pulse on what’s going on in the city of Chicago. However, among the news of the one-day-old teacher strike, it’s good to know that people like Mitt Romney [...]

Rapper, Lupe Fiasco released the video for his most recent song, “Bitch Bad”.  Not one to mince words about the state of politics and social issues, Lupe takes on the cultural impact of the word bitch… which has weaved its way into the lexicon of popular-culture, for better or worse. Rappers laud the traits of [...]

Imagine that: kids getting the “Mark of the Beast” for a turkey sandwich. Yep, welcome to Biometrics Surveillance is America. There is something very disturbing when children are used to “forward” surveillance technology. In a small, modest-earning town in Louisiana, an elementary school is implementing a palm scanning device in their lunch program. This latest implementation of [...]

I suppose there’s a new definition of stupid. A definition that certainly doesn’t describe any woman opposed to the benefits of access to health care under the Affordable Care Act, which is otherwise affectionately known as ‘Obamacare’. I mean that’s what I think when I listened to Ann Coulter as she spoke to Fox’s Sean [...]

Right-wing religious fundamentalist Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association is no stranger to outrageous commentary. According to Think Progress, Fischer has sunken to a new low with his anti-gay bigotry by calling for an “Underground Railroad to deliver innocent children from same-sex households.” It would appear that Fischer has a fetish for days of [...]

I write this journal entry particularly to the black women who thought Gabby Douglas’ hair was inappropriate or “unkempt.” While the rest of the U.S. are celebrating a newly minted American hero, some Negroes are fuming over something as petty as her hair. I guess this is what happens when the emphasis for black women [...]

So you know I’m laughing as I type this, right? Oh yeah, I’m literally laughing my ass off over this one. According to Ancestry.com, extensive research has concluded that president Obama is linked by blood, to the very first African enslaved for life here in America back in 1640, as punishment for attempting to escape [...]

I must admit, Graham Spanier’s latest job in crisis management for the US government is extremely appropriate. I cannot see a better candidate who can cover up a fuck up (literally) for more than 10 years like the ousted president of Penn State. Spanier said in a recent email: “For the next several months, as [...]

You know what? You Negroes have lost your rabbit-ass minds. Did one of you really send me a link to the Change.org petition to boycott VH1′s Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, requesting that I sign it because I’m adverse to niggerdom? No seriously, was I supposed to waste 90 very precious seconds of my life [...]
