However, if you expect such acts to the the undertaking of the obvious shady criminal element riding a horse and dressed in black as were the bad guys of the wild west, you’re sorely mistaken. Unlike the days of [...]
This morning I watched George Zimmerman’s bond hearing as I’m sure everybody black in America did. No word on if they’re as pissed as I am with all the friggin’ commercial interruptions; but, I’m pretty certain that many of my skinfolk are upset at the outcome. Yes, George Zimmerman’s bond hearing lasted about two hours, [...]
Ever since the infamous ”Pound Cake Speech” of 2004, it’s safe to say that when Bill Cosby speaks, not too many black folks are happy with his remarks. His recent comments on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley has served to be yet another source of angst for many of my colored cousins. Asked by [...]
Well, I think it’s safe to say that shit just got real for George Zimmerman. Watching him in his first appearance yesterday — aside from looking at his face closely to see if he had any injuries like a bunch of you idiots did — what I saw was the face of man scared beyond [...]
So here we are; another week and there’s hardly any mention of Anna Brown. Nope, no mention of how she died in a jail cell thirty minutes after being dragged from a hospital emergency room for simply attempting to seek medical attention. Nope, no mention of the fact that he was a single mother of [...]
Today marks the 44th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; ironically, justice was also served today. For many of us who remembered the the story of victims of Hurricane Katrina being shot and killed on Danzinger Bridge as they attempted to seek higher ground, The following news of the sentencing of police officers [...]
As the investigation of Trayvon Martin’s killing continues, one of the biggest unanswered questions has been what Florida law is the basis for the police department’s decision not to arrest the man who confessed to Martin’s killing, George Zimmerman.

Please don’t get me confused, as I am very excited that Mumia Abu-Jamal has now been taken off of death row. He will now spend the rest of his life in prison, without the possibility of parole, for the 1981 killing of a Phildelphia Officer. The former Black Panther member was convicted of gunning down white police Officer [...]
Okay, so now that you’ve heard about the Penn State sex scandal, let’s talk about the white version of Eddie Long. A slightly more sicker version, but nothing close to the Vatican cover up, the Penn State scandal is about a man who abused young boys, was busted but was concealed by an institution that [...]
When you hear about how the cops routinely find reasons to arrest innocent people… does it surprise you? Not too long ago the answer to this question may have been vastly different depending on the race of the person answering but these days the answer is more often in the affirmative. You need only be [...]
There are those among us who have reached the height of educational accomplishment such as Judges, Doctors and other folks who have earned their D’s. So when one of our most educated fellows looks at a piece of law and says “What the f*ck” then how in world would us simple people be able to [...]
Last week after Pres. Obama’s made his “evolution” on gay marriage public, my initial thought was: great, now they’re going to say that Obama is gay, and all gay people are now going to vote for him because of it. You know, pretty much in the same way all black people voted for him in [...]

There is not a person in this country who does not know that the police engages in racial profiling. If a Black person says they are not aware of this practice, they are either not yet beyond the toddler stage of life, or being intentionally deceptive in hopes of receiving special considerations from the white [...]
As if Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wasn’t bad enough, in steps Shaun Winkler, a white supremacist running for sheriff. As a Republican, Winkler hopes to become Bonner County, Idaho’s next sheriff. As anybody running for office will tell you, media attention is something welcomed and often sought by candidates. That said, not one [...]
I think that one of my proudest moments in life happened at the beginning of this year: my younger brother – a heterosexual Black adult male – joined me in the fight against Amendment One by taking a photo with me, donning “Vote Against” t-shirts. For about a year, I’ve worked tirelessly against the passing [...]
