The Cleveland Kidnapping: Fifty Shades of BDSM Fleeting snippets of news sound bites declaring the horrors faced by the three women allegedly forcibly kidnapped and forced to live with their captors for 10 + years have been over all the networks and especially the national news aka cable news outfits. In all that I have [...]
There’s a saying that goes something like, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Well, I suppose being a corrections officer with a vagina in a city jail full of men can make one quite powerful. I would’ve never saw it that way before reading the following story out of Baltimore. But, considering the city and its allure [...]
It appears that once again, not everyone here in the America has received the memo. Of course as a reader you may not be aware, but, the United States is post-racial. That’s right, folks; it all started once we elected our first African-American president, Barack H. Obama. Yep, you can’t go around slapping the occasional [...]
The last thing I wanted to do today was to revisit Richard Mourdock’s idiotic comment about rape, abortion, and God. Yeah, I’ve said enough here and here. And quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of debating about God, his will, or his infallibility. However, I did catch the Melissa Harris Perry Show on MSNBC yesterday [...]
Not to belabor a point, but let’s follow-up on what I wrote yesterday in response to Richard Mourdock’s ridiculous comment. Yes, let’s take another look at the idea that a woman becoming pregnant as a consequence of being raped needs to succumb to “God’s will,” and as such, should not be allowed to legally have [...]
So, Richard Mourdock says God uses the uterus of pregnant rape victims as gift wrapping. As such, abortions should be illegal for women who become pregnant as a result of a non-consensual sexual encounter. And why? Because said pregnancy is a gift, and intended by God acording to the Indiana GOP Senate hopeful currently running [...]
Ever heard of a victim of rape or incest getting pregnant? If so, maybe you can clue Rep. Steve King in. According to King, he has never heard of a victim of rape and incest getting pregnant. Truth be told, I believe some of the GOP politicians are in fact a products of incestuous relationships. [...]
Rape survivor, Gabrielle Union has weighed in on Tod Akin’s “legitimate rape,” comment, and she’s not happy. By now I’m sure you’re aware of the epic shit storm sparked by comments made Missouri Rep. Todd Akin yesterday. In the event that you’ve been living in a bubble and may have missed the controversy, you can read fellow [...]
Dear Ms. Constance White, The 2012 Olympic Games have come to a close and we are in complete and utter awe of the magnificent Black women, American and international, who have competed in an array of sporting events, and in many instances, won medals. We did enjoy the article feature in the June issue on [...]
I suppose there’s a new definition of stupid. A definition that certainly doesn’t describe any woman opposed to the benefits of access to health care under the Affordable Care Act, which is otherwise affectionately known as ‘Obamacare’. I mean that’s what I think when I listened to Ann Coulter as she spoke to Fox’s Sean [...]
Last Monday, sadly, the big news was George Zimmerman being booked into jail once again. Fortunately, this time he wasn’t booked for shooting and killing yet another unarmed teenager. Instead, he was forced to surrender to authorities after having his bond revoked for lying to the court about his finances at his bond hearing. The fact [...]
Hello young brotha. I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I hope you are doing well, and I hope life is treating you well. I wrote this letter as a response to your latest song entitled “I Hit It First”. First off, you really have a good voice. You definitely have talent. However, [...]
BETWEEN me and the other world there is ever an unasked question: unasked by some through feelings of delicacy; by others through the difficulty of rightly framing it. All, nevertheless, flutter round it. They approach me in a half-hesitant sort of way, eye me curiously or compassionately, and then, instead of saying directly, How does [...]
Immigration… As an immigrant and advocate for immigration reform, nothing upsets me off more than when I hear people who look like me complain and say, “President Obama is doing immigration for Latinos, but has done nothing for Black people.” It’s a rather myopic view of what is in fact a very complex situation. Sadly, [...]
Bill O’Reilly Plus Donald Trump Equals the Same Old Racism According to most white folks, crime in white communities is as rare as responsible black fathers. White neighborhoods are as close to peaceful utopias as Disney World, only without the rides and cartoon character costume workers. The people there are polite, kind, hard-working, honorable, respectable [...]
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 [...]
