The murder — and I’ve seen no evidence to classify it otherwise — of Trayvon Martin reinforces the very real dangers that black Americans still face. Around 7 p.m. on February 26, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin walked out of the gated community near Orlando where he was visiting his father to go get some Skittles at a neighborhood [...]

So, I think the internet exploded sometime over the last couple of days with the speculation that Chris Brown and Rihanna had reunited. Then for Rihanna’s birthday, she and Chris Brown exchanged tweets and released new music together. I spied with mine own eyes, the entire Gen-whatever-they’re-called running rampant on twitter, and the folks who [...]

Admittedly, I’m not much of a “collector”. There are few things that I feel necessary to call a collection; in fact, I don’t like a lot of clutter and I find it unnecessary to have a bunch of things that don’t serve much of a functional purpose. This is not to say, of course, that [...]

I have four brothers, and I love them dearly; but, please believe me when I say there are somethings I will not do to protect thgem. I’m sure you can come up with a list of many such things you won’t do as I can. But let’s just say that this is one thing I’ll [...]

Before I go in on this one, here’s something to think about: Bishop Eddie Long, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and the Ying Yang Twins are all from Georgia. OK, so what does that mean exactly? Well, if you know anything about the debauchery otherwise known as music that has come from the Ying Yang Twins. [...]

I didn’t catch this weeks GOP presidential debate, but I was pleasantly pleased to see immigration being the centerpiece of discussion in the days following. Thanks to Newt Gingrich’s expressed position, the conversation of what to do with undocumented immigrants has picked up again. It’s an ongoing debate, but for the record, allow me to [...]

So, apparently several people in authority took the “PEN” in Penn State just a little bit too seriously. You know, as in penitentiary? Not that I’ve spent any time in one. But I assume that’s probably the only place where turning a blind eye to rape is expected. For the life of me, I don’t understand [...]

It’s the witching hour and I am up finishing my book when I check into my Twitter time line and see a notice of yet another missing woman. I click the link and see a woman that resembles me so close that she could be my sister. It is evident that the panic is still [...]

I am one of ‘those people’.….you know the type. When beliggerent little brown folks scatter about and behave a bit extra I can’t help but to turn my nose up. Now, please believe, I am not one sided with my side-eye, I’ll quickly funk face a rude, loud White woman as quickly as I will check [...]

  You may have your eyes firmly planted on such fascinating things as the #OccupyWallStreet heros or the #TeaParty clowns where you may have missed the unfolding drama called Operation “Fast and Furious”. Operation Fast and Furious was a tactical plan launched by the Feds that allowed the export of guns into Mexico. These “special guns” were [...]

I swear the older I get the more scared I become. I’d really hate to think all those conspiracy theory people and their plumes of Koch Brothers legends contained more truth than fiction. Either way, this little piece of enlightenment is straight from The King of New York, Mr. Bloomberg, which makes this even more [...]
