Rape survivor, Gabrielle Union has weighed in on Tod Akin’s “legitimate rape,” comment, and she’s not happy. By now I’m sure you’re aware of the epic shit storm sparked by comments made Missouri Rep. Todd Akin yesterday. In the event that you’ve been living in a bubble and may have missed the controversy, you can read fellow [...]

I helped kill Lauryn Hill, and I regret it. In truth, we all let her die, even as she fights for her life, we simply are allowing one of our most prolific people to be eaten by a system she has tirelessly attempted to fight with her weapon of choice, a voice. Though most of [...]

You know what? You Negroes have lost your rabbit-ass minds. Did one of you really send me a link to the Change.org petition to boycott VH1′s Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, requesting that I sign it because I’m adverse to niggerdom? No seriously, was I supposed to waste 90 very precious seconds of my life [...]

Karma used to be a bitch, now its a black man wearing a Yamaka in the middle of Kwanzaa. Ahh, its nothing like the sweet revenge from some voodoo boudin (a fat delicious sausage native to Louisiana) to fuck up the banking monopoly that has been carefully planned by elite, blue blood European families for [...]

Last week an experimental music video (which has since been yanked from the web, per Erykah’s management folk) featuring a collaborative effort from singer/performance artist extraordinaire, Erykah Badu and alternative rock band, The Flaming Lips for their project “Western Esotericism”… was released on the internet.  The video, which featured Erykah’s sister Nayrok in all her [...]

It’s been over a week since New York Post journalist Phil Mushnick caused a stir with his under handed racist comments aimed at New York Nets owner Jay-Z. While more tolerant internet media outlets waited for the pointless piece to quietly be removed from the NY Post web site, others insisted the author would be suspended, reprimanded, or [...]

I somehow stumbled and ran into DMX on my TV last night. Of course I ordinarily watch nothing but political stuff on grown people teevee, but my life needs balance so I wounded up on VH1 – hey, don’t judge me. I must say that what I witnessed while watching their hit show Couple’s Therapy kinda threw [...]

So, I think the internet exploded sometime over the last couple of days with the speculation that Chris Brown and Rihanna had reunited. Then for Rihanna’s birthday, she and Chris Brown exchanged tweets and released new music together. I spied with mine own eyes, the entire Gen-whatever-they’re-called running rampant on twitter, and the folks who [...]

Legendary musical artist Whitney Houston has passed away. Her death leaves countless fans worldwide saddened, and in disbelief. With her troubles with drug abuse, and her tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown being public. With the summer release of her latest movie role, it’s safe to say that almost everyone was anticipating her comeback. But like I said, almost everyone. [...]

In the aftermath of the Roland Martin Superbowl Twitter debacle my thoughts are trending towards divergent places not much traveled.  While the debate continues to rage on as to whether or not the statements made by Mr. Martin were of a homophobic nature and or incited violence and people’s dander’s get up over this I [...]

I’ll admit it: when Jennifer Hudson began to endorse Weight Watchers, I got so sick of hearing her scream at me through the television that it made me cringe. Seriously. However, I thought her progress was beautiful and having successfully participated in Weight Watchers in the past, I could understand her allegiance and endorsement. Even [...]
