Aaron Alexis: So, Can We Talk About Mental Health Now?

Sep 18, 2013 No Comments by

I’m gonna need future mass shooters to be responsible enough to write a “suicide note” and keep it on their person before flipping out and killing innocent people.. Yes, because listening to the media speculate motive in the wake of this latest shooting, and bring up stuff like, “That one time at band camp,” irritates […]

Hurricane Katrina Danzinger Bridge Killer Cops Sentences Overturned

Sep 17, 2013 No Comments by

Remember those New Orleans police officers sentenced last year for the shooting (and subsequently attempting cover up) death of victims of Hurricane Katrina on the Danzinger Bridge? If you don’t remember the story I blogged about it here and here so you’ll be able to catch up. But until you do, just know that until […]

Charlotte Police Officer Kills Black Man Seeking Help After Car Crash

Sep 15, 2013 No Comments by

Only in America can a black man cheat death by surviving a car wreck only to be shot and killed by a police officer while attempting to seek help after said car wreck. I hope that opening line sounds as absurd to you as the story of the death of Jonathan Ferrell, 24, a former […]

#BlackPowerIsForBlackMen: Best Thing Since Black Power, Tariq Nasheed, & Penis

Aug 15, 2013 4 Comments by

For a very long time I walked the earth as a black man without knowing that by virtue of having a penis, I was special. No, not in some sick and twisted Mandingo worship sort of way — please believe, the myth about black men is just that: a myth. Of course this penile sense […]

Can We Talk About White-On-White Crime?

Jul 31, 2013 No Comments by

Proving that some people aren’t interested in having a much-needed conversation on race, within the media, said much-needed conversation has turned into a conversation on black-on-black crime. If I didn’t know any better it would be easy for me to conclude that racism only exists in America because black people are killing each other. Yes, […]

Trayvon Martin, Black Male Bodies, & Bloody National Discourse

Jul 22, 2013 1 Comment

Throughout history, critical national discussions have emerged that use black male bodies as a site of citizenship, race and moral discourse. Currently, Trayvon Martin like the long list of black men and boys that precede him, evokes an almost guttural immediacy to confront the insidious and crippling racial issues that are so ingrained in American […]

Madness & Reality Radio: When Keeping it Post-Racial and Ratchet Goes Wrong

Jul 01, 2013 No Comments

For those of us interested in freedom, justice, and equality, the past week has been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. With landmark Supreme Court decisions handed down on Affirmative Action, the Voting Rights Act, and Marriage Equality, to say that it has been exhausting would be putting it mildly. Add to said exhaustion the fascination […]

Rachel Jeantel, the Zimmerman Trial, & the R-Word

Jun 28, 2013 3 Comments

The trial in the case of George Zimmerman has begun. The eyes of society are watching closely already drawing conclusions and verdicts for the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed young black teen male, after a scuffle resulting from a confrontation (on Zimmerman’s part) for ‘looking suspicious’. So far, it’s been nerve-racking […]

Bishop E.W. Jackson: “The Black Family Was More Intact During Slavery”

Jun 21, 2013 No Comments

As much s I celebrate our post-racialness here in America, I really wish my Blaxk Republican cousins would stop it with the ignorant slavery fetish. But hey, when you’re a shill for the political party that makes no bones about how they feel about minorities, I suppose it is hard to step away from the […]

R&B Divas: Reality (TV) Sucks Bigtime

Jun 20, 2013 4 Comments

I’ve never been a fan of these so-called reality-based TV shows networks seem to crank out more often all year, every year. I became even less interested when I’ve learned that these shows produce stereotypes. And we all know that in this society, stereotypes matter more than actual people. But, I had high hopes for […]

Urah Man Claims He Had Sex With Unconscious Woman to ‘Save’ Her Life

Jun 12, 2013 1 Comment

I want to have a conversation with Rodger William Kelly. I have never been compelled to have a conversation with any of the subjects in the stories that I post on this site. But this motherfucker right here?!! Oh yeah, we need to have a heart-to-heart conversation about saving lives, sex, and rape. Not that […]
