I realize I haven’t said a word on this blog concerning Mitt Romney’s well-timed, yet not-so-funny racist Birther joke last week. At the time I was in no mood to take Romney to task. To tell you the truth, I had enough of the foolishness. Me being a black man who also happens to be [...]

So, apparently a mentally ill Black man was shot 46 times, and killed by Saginaw, Michigan police officers almost two months ago; and, we’re just now hearing about it because it was caught on tape. Thanks to CNN and the work of a concerned citizen armed with a video camera, we’re reminded of the disadvantage [...]

Dear Ms. Constance White, The 2012 Olympic Games have come to a close and we are in complete and utter awe of the magnificent Black women, American and international, who have competed in an array of sporting events, and in many instances, won medals. We did enjoy the article feature in the June issue on [...]

Pastor C.L. Bryant, a Black Republican, refers to himself as a “runaway slave,” in the following interview with Glenn Beck. Bryant was essentially promoting the latest Coonrasric epic propagandist film production, Runaway Slaves which is currently in theaters (more on that foolishness in a future post). Beck also says in the interview, that Conservatives are [...]

So you know I’m laughing as I type this, right? Oh yeah, I’m literally laughing my ass off over this one. According to Ancestry.com, extensive research has concluded that president Obama is linked by blood, to the very first African enslaved for life here in America back in 1640, as punishment for attempting to escape [...]

Remember when president Obama “evolved” recently, and publicly expressed his new support for same-sex marriage? Remember the ruckus his new position created with church folk? Yes, the same Christians who saw this as an attack on the sacred institution of marriage? The same Christians who will argue with anyone until the rapture, that marriage was [...]

The one looming thing that has always been an enduring force in the Black community (since slavery was abolished), is the Black Church. The Black Church comes in several different denominations and almost seems to be a given, if you’re part of the Diaspora and specifically if you’re Black-American. While it may not always come [...]

Mitt Romney gave a speech at the NAACP National Convention in Houston this week, and told black people to look into his heart. Sorry Mr. Tin Man, but that’s the same thing they said before the slave ships set sail, so I’m not buying it. Since then, the focus has been on his use of [...]

Why is Allen West so obsessed with slavery? First, there was last week when he suggested that some people who support Obama would rather not own their own keep and instead would rather be his “slave,” and now he is comparing Social Security to slavery. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I think of Mr. [...]

In my own sick and twisted way I recently joked about New York City being safer if the NYPD were to expand it’s “stop and frisk” policy to include random white people in not-so-high crime areas. Of course if you’ve never lived in these communities. it’s hard to understand just how much of an aggravation [...]

She’s also the creator of cutting edge digital media that breaks the barrier of our current standards of acceptance when it comes to Blacks, sexuality and feminism. CORSET is the go-to magazine for all things sexuality. We embrace human curiosity. We honor sensuality. We celebrate sex. And [...]
