What Does Trayvon Martin and Anna Brown Have in Common, Besides Being Black and Dead?

Mar 29, 2012 4 Comments by

Trayvon Martin and his family deserves justice – yes, there’s no denying this. As I watch the various reports surrounding his death and subsequent attempts to politicize it  in recent weeks. And as I watch many individuals don hoodies and proclaim, “I am Trayvon Martin,” I wonder about the many dead and voiceless people of [...]

So Republicans Support Uninsured Americans Dying, But Just Not At Hospitals?

Sep 13, 2011 3 Comments by

I didn’t watch last night’s CNN-Tea party Debate last night; fact is, I’m still recovering from the brain damage suffered by watching the last one. Yeah, I heard the term “Obamacare” so much that I developed a brain tumor. I know, I get it; they dopn’t like president Obama or his policies. And let them [...]

So Tavis Smiley & Cornel West are "Uncle Toms" for Their "Poverty Tour", According to Steve Harvey?

Aug 10, 2011 17 Comments by

Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West – two of Black America’s least favorite Negroes right now – have embarked on what they call a “Poverty Tour”. My guess is they plan to criss cross America highlighting  the millions of Americans negatively impacted by the Great Recession. You know, judging by policy choices and enactments on Capitol [...]

Wait, is Barack Obama Gay? Uhm, is He Still Black?!!

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 [...]

Tennessee Cop “Robs” Out-Of-State Driver Of $22,000 After Traffic Stop

Apparently, in the state of Tennessee it’s perfectly legal to commit what’s known as highway robbery. However, if you expect such acts to the the undertaking of the obvious shady criminal element riding a horse and dressed in black as were the bad guys of the wild west, you’re sorely mistaken. Unlike the days of [...]

Does Anti-Profiling Legislation Really Work?

There is not a person in this country who does not know that the police engages in racial profiling. If a Black person says they are not aware of this practice, they are either not yet beyond the toddler stage of life, or being intentionally deceptive in hopes of receiving special considerations from the white [...]

Post-Racial Update: Republican KKK Leader Running for Sheriff Invites Media to Cross Burning

As if Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wasn’t bad enough, in steps Shaun Winkler, a white supremacist running for sheriff. As a Republican, Winkler hopes to become Bonner County, Idaho’s next sheriff. As anybody running for office will tell you, media attention is something welcomed and often sought by candidates. That said, not one [...]

Amendment One: Wasn’t North Carolina The “Good” Carolina?

I think that one of my proudest moments in life happened at the beginning of this year: my younger brother – a heterosexual Black adult male – joined me in the fight against Amendment One by taking a photo with me, donning “Vote Against” t-shirts. For about a year, I’ve worked tirelessly against the passing [...]
