Before I go in on this one, here’s something to think about: Bishop Eddie Long, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and the Ying Yang Twins are all from Georgia. OK, so what does that mean exactly? Well, if you know anything about the debauchery otherwise known as music that has come from the Ying Yang Twins. [...]
¡Hola mi Gente! Last week, I began what I hope will be the first of several entries showing how conservative politics and religious fundamentalism in this country are putting our children at risk. Just to give you a taste of the black hole of ignorance in this country, I offer the following (all entries are [...]
It really hasn’t been good for coaches and young Black boys lately. If it isn’t the story of young Black boys raped at Penn State by coach Jerry Sandusky. It’s the no-so-highly publicized story of former Boston Red Sox clubhouse manager, Donald Fitzpatrick, and how he molested young Black boys. It seems like screwing Black boys has become [...]
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 [...]
Ok the stupid down here in South Carolina is burning big time. It is coming from so many directions one’s vision is obscured by it. The fair Guv’nor Haley recently stated that she would like to have the jobless drug tested before they would be eligible for any benefits. Her reasoning explained while discussing a [...]
I almost feel conflicted writing this post. I’m suffering from Catholic guilt! As a child of the parochial school system of New Jersey I am familiar with the constant outstretched hand that plagues the financing administration of most parochial schools. At first glace you might actually share my empathy for the financial whoa of those little Catholic school [...]
Back in 1090, a few weeks after moving to southern Indiana, I was floored when I learned that there was a celebration called Nigger Day. Being new to the area, I was told that i should travel to a small town in Kentucky where Black folks celebrated the emancipation from slavery, commonly known and widely [...]
by Eco.Soul.Intellectual At first glance, this woman looks harmless. Something like a really cool grandmother, or perhaps a teacher. However, Dr. Beverly Hall, former Superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools is in waist deep shit with the release of the Governor’s Office for Student Achievement investigation regarding cheating on Criterion Reform Competency standardized tests in [...]
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 [...]
Apparently, in the state of Tennessee it’s perfectly legal to commit what’s known as highway robbery. However, if you expect such acts to the the undertaking of the obvious shady criminal element riding a horse and dressed in black as were the bad guys of the wild west, you’re sorely mistaken. Unlike the days of [...]
There is not a person in this country who does not know that the police engages in racial profiling. If a Black person says they are not aware of this practice, they are either not yet beyond the toddler stage of life, or being intentionally deceptive in hopes of receiving special considerations from the white [...]
As if Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wasn’t bad enough, in steps Shaun Winkler, a white supremacist running for sheriff. As a Republican, Winkler hopes to become Bonner County, Idaho’s next sheriff. As anybody running for office will tell you, media attention is something welcomed and often sought by candidates. That said, not one [...]
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 [...]
