The murder — and I’ve seen no evidence to classify it otherwise — of Trayvon Martin reinforces the very real dangers that black Americans still face. Around 7 p.m. on February 26, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin walked out of the gated community near Orlando where he was visiting his father to go get some Skittles at a neighborhood [...]

The first I noticed of the lawsuit recently filed in federal court, by the tribe I am proudly a member of was a link on Facebook that led to an article in a local paper. After I read it, I admit, I was astonished. The person who linked it was another tribal member who had [...]

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 [...]

It took me a bit of a spell to mull this post over, as there were so many thoughts to sift through, particularly since the myriad of things have been reported in the press since Whitney Houston’s death and funeral and there has been much commentary regarding fame, fan-dom, and drug-abuse. Houston, perhaps one of [...]

Following last week’s media firestorm for his derogatory taco comment, East Haven, CT’s Mayor Joseph Maturo appeared on this past Sunday’s Face the State in hopes of repairing his and his town’s damaged reputation. However, rather than using the opportunity to fully expound on the question he was asked during the infamous interview that started [...]

Admittedly, I’m not much of a “collector”. There are few things that I feel necessary to call a collection; in fact, I don’t like a lot of clutter and I find it unnecessary to have a bunch of things that don’t serve much of a functional purpose. This is not to say, of course, that [...]

I just got word via  WFAA.com that 15-year-old Jakadrien Turner is on her way home. In case you’re not familiar with her story, just know that I stand by my words: she should have never been deported; plain and simple. I’m just glad that they were able to quickly work out her return to Dallas. It [...]

[Editor's Note: Ron Paul is kookier than Lyndon Larouche on crack. His vision of society is something similar to what existed in the Dark Ages and his take on the constitution dismisses anything that happened after the 17th century. His economic policies are the same neoliberal tripe that has brought this nation to its knees [...]

So another holiday season is upon us, and another year is almost over. Of course you know what that means, right? Yup, you guessed it; it’s time for yet another display of niggerdom. That’s right folks, it’s the annual Air Jordan Stampede. Not as popular as the running of the bulls in Pamplon, Spain. However, [...]

¡Hola mi Gente! There is nothing I detest more than to see my own people allowing racist, white supremacist thinking take root in their minds. One point in fact is the misdirected and false perceptions of native-born people of color against immigrants. When I listen to African Americans or Puerto Ricans, for example, go off [...]

So… Time magazine awarded their “Person of the Year” title to “The Protestor.” How nice, though I would take anything they give with a grain of salt. No. 4 on Time’s list, for example, was Rep. Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican whom the magazine credits with bringing to the front of the national consciousness an [...]
