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 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 [...]
Right-wing religious fundamentalist Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association is no stranger to outrageous commentary. According to Think Progress, Fischer has sunken to a new low with his anti-gay bigotry by calling for an “Underground Railroad to deliver innocent children from same-sex households.” It would appear that Fischer has a fetish for days of [...]
This blog post was brought on by another blog site where I am an occasional contributor. The issue there had to do with attitudes toward so-called “inter-racial” relationships. If you’d like to review that before continuing, it’s posted here. The views on race in general in this country have a distinctly religious flavor, in my [...]
Arielle Loren is a wonderful writer, culture critique and friend. She’s also the creator of cutting edge digital media that breaks the barrier of our current standards of acceptance when it comes to Blacks, sexuality and feminism. CORSET is the go-to magazine for all things sexuality. We embrace human curiosity. We honor sensuality. We celebrate sex. And [...]
Looking through the current media available to the African American/Urban audience one could easily come to the conclusion that all Black women are heterosexual, church going, and desperate for marriage. On a recent article I addressed the impact of gender orientation, sexual identity and how it affected a person’s decision of whom they will and will [...]
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 [...]
¡Hola mi Gente! Last week, I began what I hope will be the first of several entries showing how conservative politics and religious fundamentalism in this country are putting our children at risk. Just to give you a taste of the black hole of ignorance in this country, I offer the following (all entries are [...]
The War on Children: Sex Education in America I will tell you that I had a mother last night come up to me here in Tampa, Florida, after the debate. She told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection, and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter. –Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), on the [...]
Pregnancy Pact or Just Young Black Girls Comparing Bellies? Does It Matter? I was presented with the picture below and asked to take a stab at making some type of social commentary from it. A group of young black girls with their pregnant bellies distended, smart phones in hand, in a bathroom somewhere rocking khaki’s [...]
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 you know it is graduation season across the United States. It is the time of year where the parents, relatives, and friends of graduating students gather to support and celebrate the accomplishment. For students and supporters alike, a graduation ceremony is a proud moment that punctuatess a stuident’s commitment to hard work and excellence, [...]
Miami-Dade Police Choke 14-Year-Old for “Dehumanizing Stares” So apparently giving Miami-Dade police officers “dehumanizing stares,” can not only get you choked out, it can also result in felony resisting arrest charges. Yep, Florida is awesome. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the aforementioned information could come in quite useful should you happen [...]
The minute I heard that John McCain snuck into Syria to speak with “rebels” fighting the Syrian government, I knew it was not going to end well. Naturally the cynic in me laughed uncontrollably at the thought of a 150-year-old John McCain, attempting to reprise the role of “John Rambo” famously played by Sylvester Stallone [...]
George Zimmerman’s Defense “Out of Money.” So George Zimmerman’s defense team is saying that they’re “out of money.” With about two weeks to go before jury selection, the defense’s trust account allegedly has less than $5000 (I said allegedly because we all know how Zimmerman is known to “honest” about money). According to Zimmerman’s attorney, [...]
As if racial tensions in Sanford, Florida weren’t already on high pending the start of George Zimmerman’s trial in a few weeks. In comes a story of racism from he tiny town that probably will not help matters. As the story goes, a Papa John’s delivery driver inadvertently dialed the number of a customer to [...]
