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 [...]
Miami-Dade Police Choke 14-Year-Old for “Dehumanizing Stares” So apparently giving Miami-Dade police officers “dehumanizing stares,” can not only get you choked out, it can also result in felony resisting arrest charges. Yep, Florida is awesome. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the aforementioned information could come in quite useful should you happen [...]
After two months of testimony, the trial against the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk policy has come to an end. Judge Shira A. Scheindlin presided over the case, and will give a final ruling in a few months. As I have mentioned on more than one occasion on this site, the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk policy is inherently racist. Of [...]
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 [...]
“Hotter than a middle eastern climate, find it 20 mataran dutty whine it, while it, Nicki on a pit while I sign it, how these niggas so one-track minded but really really I don’t give a F-U-C-K” – NICKI MINAJ, “MONSTER” On May 19th, 2013, Nicki Minaj performed on stage at the 2013 Billboard awards.

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 [...]
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 [...]
Believe it or not, there are still some good people in this world. I know it’s hard to believe considering all the evil, debauchery, and foolishness that dominates the twenty-four-seven news cycle. But every now and then a new hero emerges from the deep recesses of obscurity to make life better for all. Yesterday in [...]
The Ratchet Diaries: Molly…The Girl Next Door Remember the days when you only admitted to drinking socially and smoking a cigarette? Remember when if you were caught with anything other than a Newport in your hand, you ‘passed the dutchie ‘pon the left hand side’ and blamed it on an absent friend when your parents [...]
Louisiana Parish Passes Ordinance Outlawing Saggy Pants On occasion when I’m in public I wear my pants below my waistline. Yes, I’m known to sag my jeans on occasion. Not exactly a fashion statement on my part; but instead, I do so more as a matter of comfort. You see, when you’re my age and [...]
When conjuring up an image of what the quintessential companion of a wealthy Sugar Daddy looks like, as dictated by popular culture, perhaps visions of a young, thin but buxom blond woman dances in your head. Or maybe an ‘exotic’, racially ambiguous variation, whose aesthetic still passes muster when it comes to rigid beauty standards. [...]
Looks like “racial entitlement” won big today… So the Supreme Court didn’t announce any rulings related to “the gays” or “blah people” today. While many of us on the left side of the political side of things anxiously await rulings on DOMA, Prop 8, Affirmative Action as well as the Voting Rights Act. U suppose [...]
I can think of many reasons to support immigration reform. But of all the reasons to sup[port immigration reform, I never knew that the fertility of immigrants would be one of them. Being an immigrant myself, you would think that I would have been wise to this obvious advantage. But it just goes to show [...]
By now, you’ve probably heard about Judge Edith Jones, a former chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. If you haven’t, you may want to sit down and take your nerve pills pronto. Judge Jones is in the media spotlight for having racist attitudes regarding blacks, Latinos and Mexican Nationals. She [...]
