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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I hate to tell you this, but I don’t think “God” really cares if gay people got married. Why? Because I don’t see him burning down cities like he did Sodom & Gomorrah back in the day. No seriously, where are the lightning bolts, meteor showers, and plagues? Heck, Vegas is still standing and they […]
I was seventeen years old when I first considered what dating outside my race might mean. It was a year before the Italian man I’d been seeing promulgated it disgusting that I’d found a Black man walking down Michigan Avenue attractive. It was a year after my fifteen-year-old self told my high school friend I […]
I’m not sure if I totally agree with Bob Costas on last night’s now “controversial” halftime commentary on the Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher’s murder-suicide. However, I would say that he has a point when speaking to the culture of violence fostered by gun ownership or gun possession. Unfortunately, there are many who disagree, […]
It’s your party… I’m not here for Suzanne Venker’s pro-MRM rhetoric… According to author and FoxNews.com contributor Suzanne Venker, the war on women’s rights is a thing of insignificance, because a subculture of men she’s come across have apparently been pissing and moaning about the evils of the Feminist movement, and how it’s prompting them […]
Did you hear the one about the mother of five who found her ex-boyfriend living in her attic some twelve years after breaking up with him? I read the story yesterday and figured there’s no way I’m buying this story. No seriously, there’s no way in the world someone can live in anyone’s attic without […]
The world has gotten through another cavalcade of highly charged animated performances, a celebration of hypersexuality and an overall explosion for the adulation of style and fashion that is the 2013 Video Music Awards. At first, I wasn’t paying any mind to the yearly program that seems to celebrate music on a network where more […]
On a historic day that saw America’s first black president as well as two former presidents celebrate and commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech. Noticeably absent from the proceedings were the voices and presence of notable leaders in the Republican party. One would think that as […]
So, Rush Limbaugh thinks he’s like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Rush Limbaugh is one funny white man. No seriously, folks; the sooner you accept him for the comedian that he is, like me, you too will refuse to take him seriously. After all, the only people who take anything he says as gospel are […]
Been working all day trying to come up with a word to describe how I feel, now that The People’s March honoring Dr. King and his “I have a dream” speech is done. I’ve come up with several actually. However the one that sticks out is “empty.” It’s done, we marched, we shouted, we sang, […]
The irony of a racist extremist working for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the nation’s first black president isn’t lost on me. In fact, in this post-racial age of Obama, one could say that times have changed to the point where this is expected. The trouble in this instance is that Ayo Kimathi, […]
