I have four brothers, and I love them dearly; but, please believe me when I say there are somethings I will not do to protect thgem. I’m sure you can come up with a list of many such things you won’t do as I can. But let’s just say that this is one thing I’ll [...]
I haven’t been to a night club in quite some time., so I’ve been out of the loop. At my age, there’s no telling what the young’uns are doing these days; and, my old ass stepping into a night club today, would turn that shit into a museum. But anyway, I got wind of the [...]
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 [...]
Yes, that’s a question I’ve always wanted to ask. Being a kid from the Caribbean where there’s no Thanksgiving holiday, or traditions, I’ve always wanted to know whether white folks were known to partake of chitlins for Thanksgiving, or whether that was just a black thing? I’ve been in many homes across the country over [...]
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 [...]
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’m not sure if this situation is widely known, or just how many folks are aware. However, it woukd appear that there’s a serial rapist targeting Black women. More specifically, it appears he has a thing for members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority in the Dallas, TX. area. Now the fact that this story [...]
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 [...]
Some time ago, I remember mentioning that the state of Michigan (and Detroit in particular), was ground zero for what the GOP has in store for America. From Detroit closing schools, giving teachers the boot, and introducing the for profit charter school model, to taking over entire municipalities and leaving elected official like mayors and city [...]
Man, look… I don’t think you can get a proper ass whipping unless Jesus is involved in there somewhere. Either you’re getting your ass whipped because you broke some make believe psuedo-religious rule like being caught with nail polish on because “its a sin”; or you broke a regular rule that you knew you [...]
Okay, so I know you’re asking, “Um, RiPPa, why in the hell would you ask such a question like that when you know good and damn well that Zimmerman is racist?” Well, the truth is, I don’t know whether he is racist or not. The only thing I do know is that he is responsible [...]
I really don’t feel like saying much on this one. No need for me to go back into the old news about banks taking advantage of minorities — you know, people of color? — which subsequently lead to the ugliest economic meltdown in modern history. Yeah, no need to bring that up when the common [...]
As if Mitt Romney needed the pressure of having his white male privilege challenged by yet another minority — c’mon, you know it’s the only reason he demanded an apology from Barack Obama — in steps comedian George Lopez to pull his card. In a recent stand-up routine, Lopez shocked the world when he said, [...]
Oh great, black people are getting tasered and arrested for jaywalking now. Yep, we should all feel safer these days… There is some pretty saucy news coming out of Florida as new evidence released in the case of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The big news of the day involves witness [...]
Before I get into this one, allow me to say that this morning’s episode of MSNBC’s Up w/ Chris Hayes was epic; it was quite possibly the best episode I’ve watched to date. That in itself says a lot since I’m a huge fan of the show; and, the truth is, the show offers a [...]
