Originally posted at TheModernLatina.com I’ve been sitting on this post for awhile because I guess I just didn’t know how to broach this. I wanted to make sure I didn’t come out extra bitter or angry. I think after all of this time, I’m ready to go ahead and write about some of the things [...]

So, err — where was the internet when I as getting my ass beaten by my parents with extension cords, frying pans, and tree trunks? No seriously, y’all. I’ve been hearing all the talk about about a Texas judge who was caught on tape giving his 16-year-old daughter an ass-whoopin’. Television media is running the [...]

Wiki says: Emetophilia is a paraphilia in which an individual is aroused by vomiting or observing others vomit. When emetophiles put emetophilia into practice by actually vomiting, especially on a partner, it is called a Roman shower, after the commonly-supposed (but mistaken) belief in the frequent induction of vomiting at Roman feasts.

I’d love to take this opportunity to discuss SlutWalk and the dual (and often dueling) marginalization faced by Black women in any mainstream movement.

SlutWalk, like many other movements grew exponentially and the original [...]

Yes, yes….I knew the #Occupy #Movement would make it’s way to the West Coast. I counted the days until it did, you see, I realize that we are close now. Close to what, you ask? Close to our melt down.  California is a unique wok of cultures and races, and if nobody else knows how [...]

I almost feel bad for having to add to the steaming pile of pungent articles that already surround this weeks internet sensation regarding a 14 year old girl who was filmed while giving head to a young man. Too bad, the young man wasn’t smart enough to keep their little interlude as a private matter [...]

I am one of ‘those people’.….you know the type. When beliggerent little brown folks scatter about and behave a bit extra I can’t help but to turn my nose up. Now, please believe, I am not one sided with my side-eye, I’ll quickly funk face a rude, loud White woman as quickly as I will check [...]

The city streets are filled with garbage and there is no news coverage. The politicians are resigning one by one rather than involve themselves in something they think is a lose lose vote and only the most delicate of civil service employees are upholding their duties with the blessing of the union brotherhood. I was [...]

It’s so sad that it’s actually humorous. The recent mug shot of your favorite ‘whatever happened to’ rapper Soldier Boy Tellum is currently being displayed across web browsers all across the world. In it, he looks slightly nauseated But I’m Rich By-otch! with just a hint of Oh, Shit! confusion. And since being picked up last night [...]

With so much going on around the world one can definitely point back to this time in history as an example of how human rights and equality took to the forefront of real people’s lives. Without the distraction of food, housing and responsibilities, suddenly everyone is very concerned with the ‘poor’. As a political scientist, I keep [...]

 Tony Morrison’s controversial novel “The Bluest Eye” evokes many different feelings in its readers. There have been numerous attempts to ban the book due to its subject matter dealing with rape, child molestation, western beauty ideals, Colorism, class, and racism.
