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. A blog post shared with us on Twitter yesterday by theCoalition To Stop Gun Violence sheds some light [...]
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.

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 [...]
Yeah, this is what I call the crazies falling all out of the closet! Christians raging against anything different from what they think is right is nothing new, of course. I feel bad for the poor Fox news interns that were rushing to remove the 8,000 death threats. What bought all this on you may ask? [...]
There’s a sheriff in Kentucky and another in Oregon who have gone on record to say that they will not enforce any new gun laws enacted by the federal government. How’s that for defiance and protecting Constitutional rights, huh? I mean their stance would be admirable if the government intended to take away our guns, [...]
I remember the good old days when the frequency of the word “nigger,” bring used in a movie or press conference was a barometer of racism? Yeah, I wonder what happened to those good old days. At any rate, those days are long gone. And, I suppose the fact that Quentin Tarantino dropping the n-word [...]
So, you know that debate over gun control we’ve had lately, in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting? Yeah, the one where everybody is talking past each other and not making any sense at all, or hardly offering solutions to the problem of gun violence. Yep, that one. Well, given that we’re [...]
As it has been presented, the Obama Administration has indicated that he is ready for serious gun reform. He has pledged to put his “full weight” behind a legislative package for containing gun violence offered by Senator Dianne Feinstein. The bill aims to “stop the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of military-style assault weapons and [...]
So this is where we’re at right now, black folks? Shoot, and here I thought the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta boycott petition on change.org was bad. Now Al Sharpton’s outfit is leading a boycott of the Django Unchained action figures being sold. Jesus Christ! Do we need another black kid armed with Skittles and [...]
