The world has gotten through another cavalcade of highly charged animated performances, a celebration of hypersexuality and an overall explosion for the adulation of style and fashion that is the 2013 Video Music Awards. At first, I wasn’t paying any mind to the yearly program that seems to celebrate music on a network where more […]
On Twitter last night, I caught wind of the latest internet fuck-up done at the expense of black history and black women. Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons posted a video that parodies slavery and the constant surfacing of celebrity sex tapes released to the open public. However, the video was no laughing matter. The Youtube video, […]
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the heat Don Lemon caught from the black community for comments he made on his “no Talking Points” segment. To many, his comments in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict — especially in seeking to take it further than Bill O’Reilly’s ignorant comments — was a […]
Ebony magazine has announced that this September issue will showcase four different covers dedicated to the impact of the Trayvon Martin tragedy. The covers will feature famous celebrities Boris Kodjoe, Spike Lee and Dwayne Wade along with their sons and Trayvon’s family. Each cover will have the words “We Are Trayvon” displayed in red. Alternet […]
Former University of Kentucky Wildcat and current Houston Rockets forward, Terrence Jones, cried in court yesterday afternoon. His crime? If you ask me, his charge crime and subsequent charge should have been: being an idiot. But as fate would have it, no such law exists in the state of Oregon. However, it is against the […]
In a move that surely will be blamed on President Barack Obama, Cumulus Media has decided to pull the plug on both Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh’s respective radio programs. As free market economics would have it, according to POLITICO, Cumulus Media has decided against renewing their individual contracts at the end of the year. […]
Don Lemon echoed some of the sentiments of Bill Reilly’s presumed racist rant this week on CNN. But shockingly, Don Lemon took it a step further by offering some tough love to the black community. It’s nothing new, really; we’ve seen and heard this type of talk before within the black community. Oddly, however, views […]
With champions of racial equality like Rush Limbaugh around, who needs a conversation on race? In the wake of the George Zimmerman Not Guilty verdict, all week I’ve heard it mentioned that we’re in need of a national conversation on race. As one who absolutely champions for freedom, justice, and equality I applaud and urge […]
It seems like everywhere you go someone wants to know your opinion of the verdict in the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman. For us black folks, it’s almost like the time Michael Jackson was arrested for child molestation. Back then, no matter where you went, everyone white assumed that black folks still had jehri […]
Alec Baldwin went into a homophobic rage with a series of tweets wherein he threatened a gay journalist with bodily harm. Since this incident, the debate has been whether he should get the Paula Deen treatment or get a pass. Many of my white liberal friends have chosen to give him a pass. Why, because […]
I’m 2 years older than Paula Deen and am having a hard time getting worked up about her use of the word nigger. Considering how and when I’ve heard it during my six decades on this planet, I used to believe that it was one of the first words that white people taught their kids […]
I have been having so much thoughts about Veronica Brown, it has been unsettling. With the adoptive couple now suing the biological father for half a million dollars on top of taking his daughter away from him. Adding insult to injury. My mom said it goes to show, the government still doesn’t care about us. […]
I checked out an article from Salon where the CEO of one of the largest insurance companies AIG Robert Benmosche made a highly absurd, droll and all-around stupid comment about its government funded bonuses. Those bonuses were awarded to keep the insurance giant from sinking despite its questionable and morally criminal business practices in which […]
This was the week the new fall season of television got underway. Did you catch The Ted Cruz Show this week? Limited production values. Lousy acting. Boring script. If there ever was a program that deserved cancellation before the debut, Senator Cruz’s phony filibuster to defund Obamacare was definitely it. Terrible Ted hopes he call […]
Raise your hand if when you heard about the terrorist hostage-taking situation in Kenya you thought, “They’re malls in Africa?” Well, apparently the condiment has come a long way since monkeys taught Tarzan how to speak. But of course you knew that, right? Of course you did. The only thing you don’t know about Africa […]
Craig Cobb is a white supremacist who has been recently purchasing land in a small North Dakota town called Leith. His plan is to transform the tiny town of twenty-four residents into a haven of white supremacy; and he plans to do so by first gaining political power. When I first came across this story […]
