Anyone who has read this site for any time might tell you, I’ve been on a mission to fully embrace this Obama age of post-racial bliss. Occasionally, since January 2009 I’ve brought you many stories to reinforce said new trend of racial harmony. Why? Because quite naturally I want to do my part; I’d like [...]
Okay, so this is going to be funny. No seriously, whenever I come across instances of hypocrisy in the news, to me, it’s hilarious. And, well, the following two stories are just that. Now bear with me on this post because it isn’t my intent to make you bust a gut from fits of laughter. [...]
Some time ago I joked about me not being able to wait for Django Unchained winning the Best Picture category at this year’s Oscar Awards, to finally be able to celebrate our post-racialness. Well, at last night’s Oscar ceremony, that didn’t happen. Ironically, the film did in fact win two awards. However, as the Hollywood’s [...]
The latest viral video of a black mother being tasered by a store owner slash “Top Flight” security officer is the most recent incident of a disturbing celebration by online communities that cheer conflicts where black women have been on the other side of a black man’s fist. Though the action of these women were [...]
Yes, you read that right: A man used the Bible to threaten a woman with rape at a Gay Pride Parade in Michigan. I realize I haven’t said anything about the Chick-Fil-A anti-gay marriage turned pro-gay marriage controversy in recent weeks. And to be honest, I’m not going to say anything about it; frankly, I [...]
As pointed out, my friend and fellow writer Dana Lone Hill, racism, or racist acts toward Native Americans are as alive today as it was hundreds of years ago. Being Native American herself was born and raised on “the rez,” as she puts it, Dana constantly reminds us of this very fact. Of course you [...]
One of my biggest qualms as a professional and lifelong advocate is the clear division that we see after college in the social science and activist realm. What I mean, mostly, is that men are told to enter into “real” careers and forget those true lessons that they attained in college through their advocacy, while [...]
Okay, so now that you’ve heard about the Penn State sex scandal, let’s talk about the white version of Eddie Long. A slightly more sicker version, but nothing close to the Vatican cover up, the Penn State scandal is about a man who abused young boys, was busted but was concealed by an institution that [...]
So, apparently several people in authority took the “PEN” in Penn State just a little bit too seriously. You know, as in penitentiary? Not that I’ve spent any time in one. But I assume that’s probably the only place where turning a blind eye to rape is expected. For the life of me, I don’t understand [...]
Until today where I heard Philadelphia Mayor, Mike Nutter sounding pissed and enforcing curfews on teenagers, I had no idea what was Flash Mob. Maybe it’s just me, or the fact that I’m getting old, but I never knew just who or what in the hell a flash mob consisted of. I mean I saw [...]
Sometimes racism chasing can be tricky. Sometimes when I read stories such as the following, I develop an instand screw face, and I’m left wondering was this racism? A professional racism chaser has to be careful throwing out race cards in this post-racial society. I mean, since things are different in America now, nobody wants [...]
Man Arrested Soliciting Prostitute While on Honeyoon I could think of a lot of things to do on a honeymoon vacation in Florida; and having a lot of sex would be one of them. However, I don’t think said sex would involve a prostitute. That’s unless your newlywed wife is in fact a prostitute; then [...]
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not feeling these new movies where the White House gets taken out by terrorists. When the POTUS was white, the only people who could take out the White House were aliens or the occasional tidal wave produced by a meteor. But now that the president is black and Will [...]
I don’t know what it what it’s like to be white. I could be wrong, but speaking as a person of color, I’d say that it’s relatively a lot easier. But like I said, that’s just me comfortably speaking in my privileged black skin. Of course I could be totally wrong, but according to la [...]
So, did you hear the one about the Saudi student seen walking around with a pressure cooker? Yeah, word is that he couldn’t get flight lessons. Okay, I know that was wrong and that I’ll probably burn in the VIP room for racists in hell. I know, but I couldn’t resist. What can I say? [...]
I have five siblings, and if any one of them did what Ariel Castro did, I’d be done with them just like Onil and Pedro Castro has their brother. The two Castro brothers were released and were not charged in connection with the kidnapping, rape, and torture of three Cleveland women held captive for ten [...]
