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? [...]

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 [...]

On some real talk: this Trayvon Martin thing has become exhausting. No seriously, I’m at the point where it’s hard for me to even respond to all the stupid talk about the situation. If it isn’t the idiocy of Dr. Boyce Watkins and his article bashing president Obama for not calling Trayvon’s mom because unlike Sandra [...]

I heard there was a reporter on the campaign trail who asked Mitt Romney to weigh in on the Trayvon Martin homicide. And, as to be expected, just like the badly programmed robot that he is, Romney offered no comment and brushed off the question. For someone with a track record for inserting his foot [...]

I have a saying about criminals, just like everyone else, they too, should seriously consider their vocation because not everybody is built for carrying out a fool proof plan. All forms of rouge activity require a certain level of care, especially when trying to pull off what could at best be described as an immature [...]

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 [...]

Whenever I hear a person claim that President Obama is a slave to the corporatist Wall Street culture, I know immediately that he’s one of three things – he’s either ignorant, blind to reality, or he’s promoting his own agenda. Of course Obama is a slave to Wall Street – we all are. You can’t [...]

Now that we are knee deep into the public display of stupidity and ignorance, also known as the Republican Party, stories like this one are turning up a dime a dozen on the internet. What burns me up is the hypocritical front that many members of this group of people put on for show when [...]

So how out of touch is Mitt Romney? Well, according to a report by colorlines.com, Romney is so out of touch that not even his Mexican relatiuves are feeling him. OK, so they don’t exactlt agree with his stance on immigration and the DREAM Act. But still, it sayts a lot when your own relatives [...]

In full hazmat suit and knee high waders, I have been picking through the cesspool that is Breitbart conservative Right-wing demagoguing regarding the late Derrick Bell and his “relationship” with President Obama. For folks who are familiar with Dr. Bell’s work, were lucky to have met him, been mentored by him, or know anything about Critical [...]

You know, I mentioned back in… um, 2007? that I was not too sure of how this whole black President thing would pan out. Back then, I joked that the individual being installed to be that should someday become president, but that his name read entirely too much like “Blackie McBlackerson” when spoken aloud. I [...]
