Madness & Reality Radio: When Keeping it Post-Racial and Ratchet Goes Wrong

Jul 01, 2013 No Comments by

For those of us interested in freedom, justice, and equality, the past week has been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. With landmark Supreme Court decisions handed down on Affirmative Action, the Voting Rights Act, and Marriage Equality, to say that it has been exhausting would be putting it mildly. Add to said exhaustion the fascination [...]

Supreme Court Guts Voting Rights Act

Jun 26, 2013 No Comments by

There’s something to be said about the Supreme Court striking down the Voting Rights Act of 1965 while America’s first black president is in office. If I had to choose one word to describe what the nation’s highest court has done, the word progress would not be it. But I suppose that would depend on [...]

Jeb Bush: Support Immigration Reform Because “Immigrants are more fertile”

Jun 16, 2013 No Comments by

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 [...]

Edward Snowden: Hero, Traitor, or Hong Kong Phoey?

Jun 11, 2013 No Comments by

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 [...]

President Obama made history again with his re-election. But his second term has been scrutinized by the left and the right. In his second term, his first round of nominees for his cabinet was white males. This caused some to question his loyalty to the millions of minorities, women, and members of the GLBTs who elected him.

Scott Brown’s Racist Native American Debate Challenge Was Kinda-Sorta Racist

Sep 21, 2012 2 Comments

The opening of the debate between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren? Awkwardly racist. Scott Brown tried to use a reverse, reverse racism card and it didn’t work out too well. He accused her of lying about being Native American and getting ahead because of it. Shit, he all but said, “Elizabeth Warren isn’t Native American. [...]

Video: Romney Caught Discussing Bain’s Exploitation of Chinese Labor

Sep 15, 2012 2 Comments

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 [...]

Michelle Obama’s DNC Speech Rocked, But Fox News Doesn’t Think So

Sep 05, 2012 1 Comment

I missed pretty much all of the live coverage of the DNC 2012 opening night. I opted to go to the gym for a much-needed workout since I kinda-sorta slacked off over the holiday weekend. I had hoped to maybe catch the replay by the time I got home before going to bed. But, instead, [...]
