Two things about America: we believe in democracy, and we’re the most obese nation on the planet. Yes, more people would probably vote this year if they were given a plate of free food in exchange for casting a ballot. Having said that, here’s an example of what a true American patriot is all about. [...]
So, for the first time in history, according to a Census Bureau report published by the New York Times, last year over 50% of all babies born in America, were babies born to minorities. So what does this all mean? OK, well let me cue Public Enemy’s classic album, “Fear Of A Black Planet” before I explain. [...]
Apparently things are pretty bad for white folks in America these days. Sure, we’re post-racial; and yes, the country is being headed by a guy with black skin. However, with the crippling white unemployment rate in this post-recessionary jobless economy, coupled with the usual centuries-long internalized oppression forced upon them by slavery and that Jim Crow thing– [...]
What would you do if you came home and accidently discovered your daughter making out with another girl? Would you be surprised? Hurt or alarmed? Would you think she’s going through a ‘growing phase’ and then seek therapy for her, you know, so that she could fix her problem? You might even be so desperate for help that [...]
Recently, in a conversation about Mitt Romney with a friend, I joked that there was no way that a Black Republican of Mormon faith existed. In my mind the odds of this person existing was somewhere up there right along with the reality of pink unicorns, Santa Claus, and Mark Sanchez winning a Superbowl with [...]
So because Barack Obama wasn’t properly vetted before 2008′s general elections, America ended up with a Kenyan Marxist with a fake birth certificate as president. Thanks to my right-wing friends who are hell bent on being duped a second time, and being forced to suffer the turmoil of white slavery due to four more years [...]
I am disappointed… Citing the needs of his daughter who has something called Trisomy 18 as reasoning, Rick Santorum announced the “suspension” of his push for the GOP nomination. Of late, he had emerged as the only one who might be primed to give Mitt Romney a run for his money – but not literally [...]
First of all, let me say that in principle I support the controversial and much discussed Stand Your Ground law. Why I do doesn’t really matter; and, for all intents and purposes of this post, I don’t feel like discussing why I support it. However, what I’d like to talk about is yet another case [...]
The child that moved into my house last July has greatly diluted the amount of time I have to watch movies, be it in the house or at the movies. I wouldn’t have it any other way, just sayin’. Due to my cable going on the fritz in some storms last night, I was in [...]
The funny thing about racism when discussed publicly, is that it’s easy to point out, but sometimes hard to prove. Take Republican presidential nomination candidate, Rick Santorum for example. We now know that he isn’t into making the lives of Blah people any better by giving them other people’s money. Does this make him racist? [...]
A large part of paying attention to things people think one might not much give a damn about is the ability to tune things out when they become an annoyance. With that in mind, I am quite okay with how this election cycle is playing itself out thus far. -Newton Gingrich deciding to go in on [...]

My local headlines were all a-fluffered about the recent discoveryof Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole (ohl-oo-moo-YEE’-wah oh-YEH’-woh-leh), an illegal immigrant from Nigeria who has been punching a clock at Newark International Airport for over two decades now. According the New York Times, the real Jerry Thomas was shot to death in July 1992 in front of the Y on Parsons [...]

Its my understanding that one of the occupational hazards of being Black is that one is more familiar with the Baptist church then they are with the teachings of the Roman Catholic church. Luckily, I was raised Roman Catholic and the Vatican is part of my vocabulary, so I don’t feel left out this time around. While [...]
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 [...]
