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 […]
This week, Walmart turns 50-years-old. In such a short period, Walmart has become the nation’s largest employer and one of America’s most profitable companies. It’s estimated that Walmart net $15.7 billion in profits in 2011. So what is Walmart doing to help boost this dismal economy? Simple. They’re doing what they’ve always done. That would be, […]
President Obama and the American people scored a major victory with the recent Fiscal Cliff deal. At least, this is what we’re supposed to believe. That is, if you listen to “certain people” in the media of course. I don’t really feel like naming names, but let’s just say that there’s a lot that they’re […]
Before I get deep into this post, allow me to take a moment to give major props to the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. I don’t know if you’ve heard — because, unlike me you’re busy watching Reality TV — but the unemployment rate has now fallen to 7.8 percent. This is a record […]
OK, so about the narrative that we’re not any better off now than we were four years ago. Yeah, let’s take a look at that for a few, shall we? OK, so let’s overlook the fact that t low-wage jobs, paying $13.83 per hour or less, have dominated the recovery to date according to a […]
Back in 2008 – well, as early as 2005 – I was pretty sure that as it related to the election of Barack Obama that racism was alive and well enough to override common sensibilities and that he would not be president just yet. Then on August 29, 2008 it was announced that Sarah Palin […]
You know, I’ve always wondered what rich white people talked about among themselves. In my head I always figured the typical conversation in a room full of wealthy white folks would include stock tips, Grey Poupon, and which black guy Kim Kardashian was having sex with. The last thing I would expect is for them to […]
Until recently, I wasn’t sure whether Mitt Romney was running for president of the United States, or Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan. What can I say, his “Keep America American,” campaign slogan was once used by the KKK back in 1922. Pretty good slogan especially when you’re running against the first black president […]
I don’t know how many of you reading this right now consider yourselves to be members of America’s shrinking Middle Class. However, isn’t it great to know that the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney actually cares about you? So much so that he continues bellicose assault on the lies of Barack Obama with you on […]
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 […]
Got a question for you, white people….now that the rich elite have destroyed the middle class, what are you going to do? There is no middle ground anymore….poor white people are back to being on equal footing with black people….just like back in slavery days in America. Prior to 1670….poor white people were treated the […]
This week has certainly been eventful, and not in a good way mostly. We had a mass shooting at a navy yard in Washington D.C. that rocked the nation, and just as I feared, it was done by a brotha. Aaron Alexis was reported as a man with mental illnesses that a history of gun […]
I don’t know how well the United States ranks in the world when it comes to education. If I had to guess I’d say that the most “exceptional” nation on the planet is nowhere near the top. Of course much has been said about the “Dumbing Down of America” and its pathetic public school system. […]
Okay, so since nobody wants to talk about mental health in the wake of this week’s Navy Yard blood bath mass shooting at the hands of an obviously mentally disturbed Aaron Alexis, I figured we can move on to something else. Yes, I’ll play your game and get back to talking about gun control even […]
I’m gonna need future mass shooters to be responsible enough to write a “suicide note” and keep it on their person before flipping out and killing innocent people.. Yes, because listening to the media speculate motive in the wake of this latest shooting, and bring up stuff like, “That one time at band camp,” irritates […]
Remember those New Orleans police officers sentenced last year for the shooting (and subsequently attempting cover up) death of victims of Hurricane Katrina on the Danzinger Bridge? If you don’t remember the story I blogged about it here and here so you’ll be able to catch up. But until you do, just know that until […]
