I hate to tell you this, but I don’t think “God” really cares if gay people got married. Why? Because I don’t see him burning down cities like he did Sodom & Gomorrah back in the day. No seriously, where are the lightning bolts, meteor showers, and plagues? Heck, Vegas is still standing and they [...]
A funny thing has happened with the gun control debate that I didn’t see coming; but, to tell you the truth, I should have seen it coming before now. After all, with all the talk of keeping guns out of the hands of “bad guys.” I’d be a liar if I didn’t admit that I [...]
Let’s face it, the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been watered down over the years. As opposed to being tghe radical he was in his lifetime, Dr. King’s legacy has been reduced to one line in a speech as was pointed out in an earlier post. For many, it’s hard to imagine [...]
After reading this, you may ask: How can a mother stand there and let a man do such a thing to her child? Well, the answer is easy: The Bible teaches women to “submit” to their husbands. Additionally, it also says, “Spare the rod, spoil the child.” That said, isn’t it easy to understand why [...]
Not to belabor a point, but let’s follow-up on what I wrote yesterday in response to Richard Mourdock’s ridiculous comment. Yes, let’s take another look at the idea that a woman becoming pregnant as a consequence of being raped needs to succumb to “God’s will,” and as such, should not be allowed to legally have [...]
Man, y’all black people play too damn much. OK, so I know y’all love Jesus a lot; yes, black folk go to church eight days a week and three times on Sunday. So yeah, there’s no question about that; and no, I’m not gonna put y’all on front street about the “white man’s religion” thing. [...]
Pastor C.L. Bryant, a Black Republican, refers to himself as a “runaway slave,” in the following interview with Glenn Beck. Bryant was essentially promoting the latest Coonrasric epic propagandist film production, Runaway Slaves which is currently in theaters (more on that foolishness in a future post). Beck also says in the interview, that Conservatives are [...]
This blog post was brought on by another blog site where I am an occasional contributor. The issue there had to do with attitudes toward so-called “inter-racial” relationships. If you’d like to review that before continuing, it’s posted here. The views on race in general in this country have a distinctly religious flavor, in my [...]
Remember when president Obama “evolved” recently, and publicly expressed his new support for same-sex marriage? Remember the ruckus his new position created with church folk? Yes, the same Christians who saw this as an attack on the sacred institution of marriage? The same Christians who will argue with anyone until the rapture, that marriage was [...]
The one looming thing that has always been an enduring force in the Black community (since slavery was abolished), is the Black Church. The Black Church comes in several different denominations and almost seems to be a given, if you’re part of the Diaspora and specifically if you’re Black-American. While it may not always come [...]
Arielle Loren is a wonderful writer, culture critique and friend. She’s also the creator of cutting edge digital media that breaks the barrier of our current standards of acceptance when it comes to Blacks, sexuality and feminism. CORSET is the go-to magazine for all things sexuality. We embrace human curiosity. We honor sensuality. We celebrate sex. And [...]
As you know it is graduation season across the United States. It is the time of year where the parents, relatives, and friends of graduating students gather to support and celebrate the accomplishment. For students and supporters alike, a graduation ceremony is a proud moment that punctuatess a stuident’s commitment to hard work and excellence, [...]
Miami-Dade Police Choke 14-Year-Old for “Dehumanizing Stares” So apparently giving Miami-Dade police officers “dehumanizing stares,” can not only get you choked out, it can also result in felony resisting arrest charges. Yep, Florida is awesome. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the aforementioned information could come in quite useful should you happen [...]
The minute I heard that John McCain snuck into Syria to speak with “rebels” fighting the Syrian government, I knew it was not going to end well. Naturally the cynic in me laughed uncontrollably at the thought of a 150-year-old John McCain, attempting to reprise the role of “John Rambo” famously played by Sylvester Stallone [...]
George Zimmerman’s Defense “Out of Money.” So George Zimmerman’s defense team is saying that they’re “out of money.” With about two weeks to go before jury selection, the defense’s trust account allegedly has less than $5000 (I said allegedly because we all know how Zimmerman is known to “honest” about money). According to Zimmerman’s attorney, [...]
As if racial tensions in Sanford, Florida weren’t already on high pending the start of George Zimmerman’s trial in a few weeks. In comes a story of racism from he tiny town that probably will not help matters. As the story goes, a Papa John’s delivery driver inadvertently dialed the number of a customer to [...]
