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.

Immigration… As an immigrant and advocate for immigration reform, nothing upsets me off more than when I hear people who look like me complain and say, “President Obama is doing immigration for Latinos, but has done nothing for Black people.” It’s a rather myopic view of what is in fact a very complex situation. Sadly, [...]
Bill O’Reilly Plus Donald Trump Equals the Same Old Racism According to most white folks, crime in white communities is as rare as responsible black fathers. White neighborhoods are as close to peaceful utopias as Disney World, only without the rides and cartoon character costume workers. The people there are polite, kind, hard-working, honorable, respectable [...]
Have you heard all the talk about women being sexually assaulted in the military lately? Apparently it happens so often, that if you’re a woman who felt like being a victim, joining the military may be just the thing that you need. Yes, the rates of sexual assault are higher in the military than it [...]
Not that I ever really lost it, but Edward Snowden has restored my faith in America. Whether you regard him as a hero or as a “traitor,” as John Boehner called him for his revealing government secrets (secrets which are in fact perfectly legal). The fact remains: There is nowhere else on earth that a [...]
Since Edward Snowden revealed himself as the NSA data-mining whistleblower, let’s talk about our civil liberties shall we? I mean, now that civil liberties are on everyone’s mind, it would seem that today is probably the best day to talk about government over-reach. However, instead of me discussing Snowden who is now on the run [...]
As we gear up for the beginning of George Zimmerman’s trial tomorrow. Let’s take a moment and look at how another Stand-Your-Ground case in Florida
