Jesse Jackson Jr. is a disgrace. Apparently being a former congressman has its perks. Aside from the surety of a nice plush job with a lobbying firm, there’s always the possibility of becoming the mayor of a major U.S. city. Which is pretty cool especially if you’re into exercising the privilege of sexually harassing female […]
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 […]
Don’t you wish Barack Obama could be as free as Michelle Obama when talking to people in public? Yesterday, she took down a lesbian protester from the group GetEqual while speaking at a private democratic fundraiser that cost $500-$10,000 to attend. You can read it here. The self identified lesbian protestor started yelling about the need for […]
Jay-Z & Beyoncé Should’ve Went to Kenya Instead of Cuba Okay, so what’s the big deal about Jay-Z and Beyoncé going to Cuba? I’ve been hearing that there have been grumblings all week from certain people here in America. And of course as politics would have it, the only people having a hissy fit are […]
President Obama made history again with his re-election. But his second term has been scrutinized by the left and the right. In his second term, his first round of nominees for his cabinet was white males. This caused some to question his loyalty to the millions of minorities, women, and members of the GLBTs who elected him.
Marco McMillan is described as a rising star in Clarksdale, Mississippi politics. Unfortunately for him, his family, and the individuals who supported his candidacy as mayor of Clarksdale, McMillan is dead.

But seriously, how dare a slave with a gun “Kill all the White people,” in a movie? A few days ago, Sean Hannity had a huge problem with Janie Foxx and his Saturday Night Live opening monologue last weekend. As you may know by now, in the upcoming film Django Unchained, Jamie plays a slave […]
Newark, New Jersey mayor Corey Booker is living on Food Stamps. No, this has nothing to do with him being melanin afflicted, and being predisposed to slothfulness. Starting out as a challenge to one of his right-wing leaning followers on Twitter, who asserted that, “nutrition is not a responsibility of the government. Apparently, Booker is […]
So I would really like to understand a few things, namely why a person who publicly outlined their “plan” to avoid serving this country during a time of war that included wearing crap filled pants for several days to establish mental incapacity, and who’s only claim to fame is an obscure and extremely brief music […]
Okay, so where do I start this one? Well, let’s just say that this one hits close to home — literally. Alright, so I got a call from my beat friend who lives in Evansville, Indiana early last week. He called to tell me about a local story involving the Evansville Police Department and an […]
There are good cops, and there are bad cops. And then there are cops like Herbert Eugene Miller who make it hard for good cops by betraying the public trust. Not that he is known for being overly aggressive as an officer of the law. But in a world where the first line of public […]
Benjamin Crump, the attorney for the parents of Trayvon Martin, has an interesting op-ed in the Washington Post this week. In it, he makes the case for an amendment to Florida’s stand-your-ground law.

Don’t ever let it be said that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn’t love the minorities in his city. I mean, if as Mayor your rationale or justification for the violation of the rights of minorities happens to be because you’re trying to keep them safe as Bloomberg has, then yes, I would say […]
