The Genarlow Wilson case is burning up the internet again… This case gained notoriety when it hit the headlines back around 2007. The case and subsequent conviction of Genarlow Wilson was based on a flawed statue that made it a felony for a minor to engage in oral sex with another minor – while if [...]
There’s nothing like an act of Mother Nature to remind us of our humanity. Looking at the ongoing coverage of yesterday’s tornado that devastated the small community of Moore, Oklahoma, I’m reminded of this. Much like in the first few minutes after the Boston Marathon bombing, images of rescue efforts by first responders assisting victims [...]
It’s pretty clear that Republicans are taking shots at Hillary Clinton in lieu of her possible presidential run in 2016. I know it’s only 2013 and we’re a long way away from the next presidential election. But, when you’ve lost two election cycles back to back as Republicans have, to a black guy with a [...]
It’s spring. As temperatures continue to rise, I’m impelled to think about the crude comments women are assailed by, as they walk down the street in the summer finery they waited all season to wear. Street harassment is a daily occurrence experienced by women all over the world who navigate open, shared spaces with men. According to Stop Street [...]
President Barack Obama gave a historic commencement speech at Morehouse College today. If you know anything about anything, you’d know that Obama is America’s first black president; and, that Morehouse College is an all-male, historic black college founded just two years after the American Civil War. As an institute of higher learning that caters to [...]
If my neighbor slaps me in the face while telling me to cut my lawn, I seriously doubt whether said neighbor will be in physical shape to burn my house down. Okay, so I’m frontin’. Yes, I wouldn’t hurt him in any way. I know that’s probably not what would do (or at least say [...]
Man Arrested Soliciting Prostitute While on Honeyoon I could think of a lot of things to do on a honeymoon vacation in Florida; and having a lot of sex would be one of them. However, I don’t think said sex would involve a prostitute. That’s unless your newlywed wife is in fact a prostitute; then [...]
I don’t know what it what it’s like to be white. I could be wrong, but speaking as a person of color, I’d say that it’s relatively a lot easier. But like I said, that’s just me comfortably speaking in my privileged black skin. Of course I could be totally wrong, but according to la [...]
So, did you hear the one about the Saudi student seen walking around with a pressure cooker? Yeah, word is that he couldn’t get flight lessons. Okay, I know that was wrong and that I’ll probably burn in the VIP room for racists in hell. I know, but I couldn’t resist. What can I say? [...]
Okay, repeat after me: “Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t believe the hype!” Yes, there’s been a lot of talk about rising premiums and how Obamacare has made things so expensive that employers are now forced to cut the hours of low-wage workers. Well, newsflash: it isn’t even 2014, and the exchanges haven’t even been set up [...]

I don’t see too many of “us” in the black blogosphere writing about the Kaitlyn Hunt story, and I think it’s unfortunate. Why? Because with a few exceptions, in many ways it mirrors the Genarlow Wilson case. What’s ironic, is that I don’t see advocates for victims of rape, like famed word-hustler and blogger, Gina [...]

So, a security officer at Walmart falsely suspected a white father of kidnapping his “mixed” children; and, some of my friends are mad about it. One of my friends sent me the following story and asked that I share my thoughts. In their opinion, the following is yet another example of racial profiling gone bad. [...]
