Gay People DO Get Married: The Curious Case of the Beard – When “the Gays” Marry Straight People

May 30, 2012 No Comments by

Looking through the current media available to the African American/Urban audience one could easily come to the conclusion that all Black women are heterosexual, church going, and desperate for marriage. On a recent article I addressed the impact of gender orientation, sexual identity and how it affected a person’s decision of whom they will and will [...]

Wait, is Barack Obama Gay? Uhm, is He Still Black?!!

May 16, 2012 2 Comments by

Last week after Pres. Obama’s made his “evolution” on gay marriage public, my initial thought was: great, now they’re going to say that Obama is gay, and all gay people are now going to vote for him because of it. You know, pretty much in the same way all black people voted for him in [...]

Amendment One: Wasn’t North Carolina The “Good” Carolina?

May 14, 2012 3 Comments by

I think that one of my proudest moments in life happened at the beginning of this year: my younger brother – a heterosexual Black adult male – joined me in the fight against Amendment One by taking a photo with me, donning “Vote Against” t-shirts. For about a year, I’ve worked tirelessly against the passing [...]

What would you do if you came home and accidently discovered your daughter making out with another girl? Would you be surprised? Hurt or alarmed? Would you think she’s going through a ‘growing phase’ and then seek therapy for her, you know, so that she could fix her problem? You might even be so desperate for help that [...]

Pastor Jomo K. Johnson’s “Call Tyrone”: Not-so Helpful Dating Advice From the Black Pulpit?

Apr 29, 2012 15 Comments by

The recent resurfacing of self-proclaimed experts examining Black women’s bodies and dating habits is becoming the latest retro-comeback, similar to hi-top fades and snap-backs (yes, both very much back in style). In fact, the newest way to police Black women’s sexual habits and practices is to provide advice on dating and courtship in general. It [...]

African Americans for Humanism: Who’s Afraid of the Big, Black Atheist?

Feb 26, 2012 6 Comments

To become a religion it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy Apparently, people are up in arms about the humanist/atheist/non-theist group African Americans for Humanism reaching out to the Black community through billboards during Black History Month. I don’t know if the outrage is mostly because people know that atheists eat babies [...]

Bishop Eddie Long Anointed King, and the Church Say… Negro Please!!

Feb 02, 2012 12 Comments

So it’s Groundhog Day and I heard Puxatawney Phil looked out and saw the GOP field. Yep, four more years of Obama. Of course this might be great news for Democrats or anyone riding the anti-Romney train; but, I’m not sure if four more years of president Obama really means anything. Oh no, not that I’m [...]

Jan 24, 2012 6 Comments

I came across the following video on YouTube a few days ago. It was uploaded on January 10th, and since then it has received more than 16 million views. Yeah, it’s hotter than Lindsey Lohan’s crotch. The name of the cat who did it is Jefferson Bethke, and it’s an awesome piece of spoken word. [...]

Sometimes I neglect to write simply because I realize that my writing is driven by more passion then it is by academia. I am just as capable of writing a coherent sentence and balancing an argument with the pro and con of an issue as anyone else with an Undergraduate Degree but sometimes I just [...]

Black Folks Fighting At Church With Knives & Tasers

Aug 15, 2011 5 Comments

When Jesus said, “come as you are,” I seriously doubt he meant it was OK to bring your taser and Rambo knife to worship. I mean why would he? Sitting in the house of the Lord – a place of love – one would think would be the last place for any violence, right? But [...]

Jun 21, 2011 No Comments

This story is kinda old, but with the hoopla over gay marriage in New York coupled with the fact that I’m a bit under the weather with my eyes again. I figured throw this out there because I could imagine just how many Black church organizations out there are actively working against legislation in New [...]
