If a well-known Klan leader wanted to adopt a black baby, I wouldn’t have a problem with the government giving him extra scrutiny. Yep, and that’s how I view this IRS scandal. Sure, it may have been a threat to democracy; but, a black baby was saved in the process. I’m sorry, but that’s exactly [...]
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not feeling these new movies where the White House gets taken out by terrorists. When the POTUS was white, the only people who could take out the White House were aliens or the occasional tidal wave produced by a meteor. But now that the president is black and Will [...]
Boston Marathon Bombing: Another White Guy Rampage in America Personally, I don’t give a rat’s ass if the Tsarnaev brothers are white. No one who goes around throwing bombs and killing people for no reason is ever gonna make it into my top ten list of favorite people on this earth, anyway, regardless of their [...]
Okay, teachable moment aside, the truth is that in America much to the disadvantage of dark-skinned people, the Muslim religion is used to denote one’s race. Why? Because, well, Jesus was a Jew and of course everybody knows that Jesus was a white man, right? Never mind the fact that both religions are spinoffs from [...]
Yesterday I heard that a “dark-skinned suspect” was arrested in connection to the Boston Marathon bombing. I’m not sure if said “dark-skinned suspect” was arrested for the actual bombing, or if it was for sending letters with ricin — a poisonous substance — to president Obama and other political figures. Like I said, I wasn’t [...]
In the ongoing debate over new gun control legislation, the NRA (National Rifle Association) has been front and center as the leader of the opposition. Recently I mentioned how the White House has turned up the pressure on Senate Republicans opposed to as much as a vote on proposed legislation. as I mentioned then, there [...]
Today, the White House pressures Republicans on gun control. President Obama and the White House has turned it up on Republicans in a push for gun control legislation. Not only are the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting last December hitching a ride on Air Force One to DC [...]
It appears that the Republican party is interested in re-branding their image. For some strange reason — I’m not sure if getting their asses kicked in the last election means anything — they’ve decided that there’s a need to be more inclusive, respectful, and mindful of minority voters. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus hinted at this [...]
Okay, so this is going to be funny. No seriously, whenever I come across instances of hypocrisy in the news, to me, it’s hilarious. And, well, the following two stories are just that. Now bear with me on this post because it isn’t my intent to make you bust a gut from fits of laughter. [...]
As if white folks in America– many of whom who identify politically as conservative — weren’t already made uncomfortable by the audacity of a movie being made about a slave with a gun. In steps the White House to add to their fears, by releasing a photo of President Barack Obama skeet shooting. I’m bothered [...]
A funny thing has happened with the gun control debate that I didn’t see coming; but, to tell you the truth, I should have seen it coming before now. After all, with all the talk of keeping guns out of the hands of “bad guys.” I’d be a liar if I didn’t admit that I [...]
The Genarlow Wilson case is burning up the internet again… This case gained notoriety when it hit the headlines back around 2007. The case and subsequent conviction of Genarlow Wilson was based on a flawed statue that made it a felony for a minor to engage in oral sex with another minor – while if [...]
There’s nothing like an act of Mother Nature to remind us of our humanity. Looking at the ongoing coverage of yesterday’s tornado that devastated the small community of Moore, Oklahoma, I’m reminded of this. Much like in the first few minutes after the Boston Marathon bombing, images of rescue efforts by first responders assisting victims [...]
It’s pretty clear that Republicans are taking shots at Hillary Clinton in lieu of her possible presidential run in 2016. I know it’s only 2013 and we’re a long way away from the next presidential election. But, when you’ve lost two election cycles back to back as Republicans have, to a black guy with a [...]
It’s spring. As temperatures continue to rise, I’m impelled to think about the crude comments women are assailed by, as they walk down the street in the summer finery they waited all season to wear. Street harassment is a daily occurrence experienced by women all over the world who navigate open, shared spaces with men. According to Stop Street [...]
President Barack Obama gave a historic commencement speech at Morehouse College today. If you know anything about anything, you’d know that Obama is America’s first black president; and, that Morehouse College is an all-male, historic black college founded just two years after the American Civil War. As an institute of higher learning that caters to [...]
