Well, since everyone in America is focused on celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ in a couple of days, Since everybody is now religious, and acting like all good Christians should by punching shoppers in the face, I have to ask; Umm, are women fighting over men in church what’s hot now? I swear, some [...]
Listen, Newt Gingrich is a political whore. That’s right; I said it, and I friggin’ meant it. Truth is, Newt hasn’t met a dollar he didn’t like. I heard Newt blowing the usual same ole GOP dog whistle, of talking shit about poor people the other day. Specifically, I heard he said some ole bullshit [...]
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’m contemplating spending the rest of my life watching Reality TV, instead of reading anything educational, informative, and watching the news.This being “aware” of what’s going on in the world thing is getting kinda old. Besides, being ignorant may not be as bad as I’ve always thought. Hell, I want to be blissful like the [...]
I’d love to take this opportunity to discuss SlutWalk and the dual (and often dueling) marginalization faced by Black women in any mainstream movement. I know that, as usual, I’m fashionably late to the party, because careful consideration is very typical of my type-A personality. SlutWalk, like many other movements grew exponentially and the original [...]
Funny, I often feel like I’m chained to the internet. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Goodreads, Podomatic, and now here. I think there’s even a Myspace page out there somewhere with my name on it. Yet, I know I’m not nearly as connected as a lot of you out there. And, to be completely honest, I ignore [...]
I am one of ‘those people’.….you know the type. When beliggerent little brown folks scatter about and behave a bit extra I can’t help but to turn my nose up. Now, please believe, I am not one sided with my side-eye, I’ll quickly funk face a rude, loud White woman as quickly as I will check [...]
It’s so sad that it’s actually humorous. The recent mug shot of your favorite ‘whatever happened to’ rapper Soldier Boy Tellum is currently being displayed across web browsers all across the world. In it, he looks slightly nauseated But I’m Rich By-otch! with just a hint of Oh, Shit! confusion. And since being picked up last night [...]
by Eco.Soul.Intellectual I know Fantasia is a gifted singer when she isn’t screaming all the time and kicking off her shoes. I defended Fantasia when she received harsh criticism for messing with a married man, and others such as Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill get slightly-tempered responses, and still have a career. I even cheered [...]
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 [...]
