Suicide isn’t good, and neither is war. A record number of military veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan war committing suicide as a result of war, is even worse. Of course this may not be seen as a major problem for some. And this is understandable given the fact that less than one-percent of us [...]
Remember that iconic photo of Malcolm X peeking out the window while holding gun with what’s known on the streets as a banana clip? as I think of this week’s ongoing gun control debate, I’ve come to rest on that very picture probably being the biggest reason why I’m opposed o an assault weapon ban. [...]
Oh, so you think unions are bad for business and workers. OK, here’s one reason why you’re wrong. Yep, and I’ll give it to you in one word. Are you ready? Here it goes: slavery. Yeah, marinate on that one for a few and get back to me. But don’t tell that to Michigan’s Republican [...]
A couple of days ago I wrote about the Las Vegas small business owner who said he had to fire 22 employees because President Barack Obama was re-elected. As evidenced by the many threats levied by various business owners prior to the election, many business owners are using Obama’s re-election as an excuse to sever [...]
So, over $1 billion dollars was spent this election cycle to put President Barack Obama — a black man — out of a job. Still think there’s no need for Affirmative Action? Yep, think about that one for a while, folks. Speaking of which, CBS Las Vegas is reporting what I think to be a [...]
After another phone call by a local home medical supply company to harass my mother into trying to find a way to BUY a hospital bed for her 100 year old mother I am way beyond pissed off and truly need to vent. The latest in this saga has them now calling and telling her [...]
So, Richard Mourdock says God uses the uterus of pregnant rape victims as gift wrapping. As such, abortions should be illegal for women who become pregnant as a result of a non-consensual sexual encounter. And why? Because said pregnancy is a gift, and intended by God acording to the Indiana GOP Senate hopeful currently running [...]
Back when most of my friends were mad at Corey Booker for finding the Obama campaign Bain attacks to be “nauseating,” I defended him. I’m not going to say that said attacks didn’t work, or helped to frame the debate and establish a clear choice between Pres. Obama and Mitt Romney. As a matter of [...]
I watched the opening night of the RNC Convention on MSNBC. I grew disgusted as lie after lie after lie was told, but wasn’t surprised by it in the least. Nevertheless, I figured a family night of Negrospotting — yes, my entire family watched with me — among the sea of Caucasians in attendance would [...]
As a woman who often labels herself a feminist, and who mostly spends time fighting, tirelessly, for equal rights, I’ve long dreamed for a day where rape would become a major talking piece that the political bigwigs had during election season. And while my dreams have recently turned to reality quite recently, I have questions [...]
Rape survivor, Gabrielle Union has weighed in on Tod Akin’s “legitimate rape,” comment, and she’s not happy. By now I’m sure you’re aware of the epic shit storm sparked by comments made Missouri Rep. Todd Akin yesterday. In the event that you’ve been living in a bubble and may have missed the controversy, you can read fellow [...]
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. [...]
Looks like “racial entitlement” won big today… So the Supreme Court didn’t announce any rulings related to “the gays” or “blah people” today. While many of us on the left side of the political side of things anxiously await rulings on DOMA, Prop 8, Affirmative Action as well as the Voting Rights Act. U suppose [...]
I can think of many reasons to support immigration reform. But of all the reasons to sup[port immigration reform, I never knew that the fertility of immigrants would be one of them. Being an immigrant myself, you would think that I would have been wise to this obvious advantage. But it just goes to show [...]
By now, you’ve probably heard about Judge Edith Jones, a former chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. If you haven’t, you may want to sit down and take your nerve pills pronto. Judge Jones is in the media spotlight for having racist attitudes regarding blacks, Latinos and Mexican Nationals. She [...]
