Just a hair over a year ago, a 23-year-old Black transgender woman in Minnesota named CeCe McDonald was walking to store with four friends of her’s, also Black, late in the evening. CeCe and her friends walked past a bar, and there were three white people (one man, two women) on the patio. When the [...]
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 [...]
I don’t watch football; I will neither confirm nor deny whether my reasoning for disinterest is based on my capacity to understand that game. While many of you were enjoying the big sporting event of the year yesterday, I was working (and missing out on festivities that included alcohol and party food). I’m not disappointed, [...]
Year 3017 Can I tell you about the night I lost my mind????? I’d say it was a stormy night and all that jazz but it was actually a balmy summer evening that we met. She was unlike any woman I have ever known. She was an impossibility, compiled of all my lusts. Her [...]

As if Mitt Romney needed the pressure of having his white male privilege challenged by yet another minority — c’mon, you know it’s the only reason he demanded an apology from Barack Obama — in steps comedian George Lopez to pull his card.

Oh great, black people are getting tasered and arrested for jaywalking now. Yep, we should all feel safer these days… There is some pretty saucy news coming out of Florida as new evidence released in the case of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The big news of the day involves witness [...]
Before I get into this one, allow me to say that this morning’s episode of MSNBC’s Up w/ Chris Hayes was epic; it was quite possibly the best episode I’ve watched to date. That in itself says a lot since I’m a huge fan of the show; and, the truth is, the show offers a [...]
