Whenever the subject of interracial relationships pop up, it seems the number one pairing is usually black-and-white. When it comes to gender, it’s mostly black men and white women. And honestly, what bothers me is not so much seeing blacks and whites interracially dating each other. It’s the reasons why some black folks have preferences […]
When conjuring up an image of what the quintessential companion of a wealthy Sugar Daddy looks like, as dictated by popular culture, perhaps visions of a young, thin but buxom blond woman dances in your head. Or maybe an ‘exotic’, racially ambiguous variation, whose aesthetic still passes muster when it comes to rigid beauty standards. […]
Hello young brotha. I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I hope you are doing well, and I hope life is treating you well. I wrote this letter as a response to your latest song entitled “I Hit It First”. First off, you really have a good voice. You definitely have talent. However, […]
I want to have a conversation with Rodger William Kelly. I have never been compelled to have a conversation with any of the subjects in the stories that I post on this site. But this motherfucker right here?!! Oh yeah, we need to have a heart-to-heart conversation about saving lives, sex, and rape. Not that […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Teacher Buys Student ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ for Reading Class I could remember getting in trouble after being caught with one of my favorite porn mags in school. I was doing what all pre-teen boys would do at the time, but my teacher didn’t see it that way. As my luck would have it, apparently […]
I got into a debate recently with someone who identifies with the right-wing pro-gun crowd, who is opposed to new gun control laws. My argument was that in the context of the gun control debate, the phrase “responsible gun owner” used by pro-gun types to suggest that said gun owners are above criminal activity was […]
Will Clarence Thomas, speak, clear his throat or sit like a lump of coal waiting patiently for Scalia to whisper in his ear…. 60% of people recently polled by ABC news say same sex marriage is okay in America. That same poll found that 80% of those under 30 support the idea. Those numbers should […]
So a federal judge says that the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk policy which targets minorities is unconstitutional and discriminatory And now NYC mayor, Mike Bloomberg is mad, and acting like the judge just told him that white folks have to pick cotton for free. Of course, as white privilege would have it, according to Bloomberg, the NYPD […]
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the heat Don Lemon caught from the black community for comments he made on his “no Talking Points” segment. To many, his comments in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict — especially in seeking to take it further than Bill O’Reilly’s ignorant comments — was a […]
On Friday, President Barack Obama made it perfectly clear that Edward Snowden is no patriot in response to a question from MSNBC’s Chuck Todd. And you know what? As I’ve written before, Snowden is most definitely not a patriot. So yeah, I’m with Obama on this one all the way. And yes, Snowden should be […]
I have heard of people doing or saying things on Facebook that eventually lands them in trouble with the law. But what 31-year-old Derek Medina of Miami did the other day takes the cake. I’m not sure if his actions are a first on the popular social network site. However, I doubt whether boyhood wunderkind, Mark […]
