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 pretty clear that Republicans are taking shots at Hillary Clinton in lieu of her possible presidential run in 2016. I know it’s only 2013 and we’re a long way away from the next presidential election. But, when you’ve lost two election cycles back to back as Republicans have, to a black guy with a [...]
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 [...]
Man Arrested Soliciting Prostitute While on Honeyoon I could think of a lot of things to do on a honeymoon vacation in Florida; and having a lot of sex would be one of them. However, I don’t think said sex would involve a prostitute. That’s unless your newlywed wife is in fact a prostitute; then [...]
I have five siblings, and if any one of them did what Ariel Castro did, I’d be done with them just like Onil and Pedro Castro has their brother. The two Castro brothers were released and were not charged in connection with the kidnapping, rape, and torture of three Cleveland women held captive for ten [...]
As I mentioned a few days ago, Charles Ramsey is that dude. His act of heroism is undeniable, and it doesn’t matter how much dirt from his past being dug up by the media. Why? Well, it’s not like he’s running for office or trying to court votes. Nope, Charles Ramsey isn’t out here running [...]
Ariel Castro is currently in jail pending an $8,000,000 bond for the alleged kidnapping, rape, and torture of three Cleveland women. As the sordid details of his treatment of his victims trickle out in the wake of their rescue. I think we can all agree that Castro is a piece of shit. Yes, any man [...]
Dear Mr. President, First of all, let me congratulate you on your massive re election win back in November. I voted for you and am proud to have done so. However, I am troubled by the recent act by your administration of placing Assata Shakur, the former Joanne Chesimard, on the most wanted domestic terrorist [...]
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 [...]

It was was originally posted at Davey D’s Hip Hop Corner, and it’s an honor to have it posted with permission here at TIOMAR.

So, a security officer at Walmart falsely suspected a white father of kidnapping his “mixed” children; and, some of my friends are mad about it. One of my friends sent me the following story and asked that I share my thoughts. In their opinion, the following is yet another example of racial profiling gone bad. [...]
