It looks like my right-wing friends in South Carolina are up to their usual foolishness again. This time, apparently an unborn fetus has more rights than a woman (or child) reliant on the state health insurance system — you know, mostly low-income women who happen to be a victims of rape, or incest? And, to [...]

So here we are; another week and there’s hardly any mention of Anna Brown. Nope, no mention of how she died in a jail cell thirty minutes after being dragged from a hospital emergency room for simply attempting to seek medical attention. Nope, no mention of the fact that he was a single mother of [...]

OK, let’s face it: the only reason anyone is talking about Trayvon Martin is because he’s dead, and George Zimmerman hasn’t been arrested. Yes, if Zimmerman never followed Martin, pending on what the police did once they showed up after his 911 call, Trayvon may still be alive today. Yes, there would  be no million hoodie marches, [...]

Dear Kenneth Chamberlain Jr., I watched the interview you gave with Juan Gonzalez this morning regarding the case with your father. A 68 year old marine veteran that was shot in his home by police that were supposed to be responding to a medical alert call by a dispatcher for assistance. A man who as [...]

I gotta tell you: this racism stuff can be quite depressing. I mean, when you think about the everyday stress of just being a Black man trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. Add to that the occasional side-eyes and “suspicious” looks from blue-haired purse-clutchers, and angry looks from white Anglo Saxon males which begs [...]

Trayvon Martin and his family deserves justice – yes, there’s no denying this. As I watch the various reports surrounding his death and subsequent attempts to politicize it  in recent weeks. And as I watch many individuals don hoodies and proclaim, “I am Trayvon Martin,” I wonder about the many dead and voiceless people of [...]

Everyone may make mistakes, but there are some errors in judgement and actions that cannot be countenanced and that there is no easy path to redemption from. Shaquan Duley made some grave mistakes that, to this day most people are hard pressed to understand or relate to.A mother who killed her own children and initially [...]

Make no mistake, here in the US there is a political war on women being waged. As oppressive as it has been lately, let’s take a moment to rem,ember that this country is still one of the best places on earth to be a woman. That is relative to the struggles of women in the [...]

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 what do you do when the economy starts showing positive signs of recovery after yelling that president Obama has failed and that the country is heading in the wrong direction? Well, you do what any Republican running for the highest office in the land would do: you create a wedge issue. Yeah, it’s kinda [...]

Don’t tell Ron Paul supporters that he has become all but an afterthought in the current GOP race. That said, I don’t think his recent comments in an interview with Piers Morgan may come back to bite him in the ass. In last Friday’s interview, Paul said he would be supportive of  a woman’s right to an [...]
