Perhaps one of the highlights of my 2012 thus far was the explosion that the internet put on the shit certain people say. I’m not speaking of the issues in North Carolina (because there are obviously plenty), nor the conspiracy of the birth of Beyonce and Jay Z’s daughter. What I mean is the avalanche [...]
So, here we are with yet another post-racial America update. How long has it been now? What, almost four years? Man, time sure has flown since that cold day in January 2009 when us minorities gained full equality here in America. All thanks and praises due to president Barack Obama of course. Just think, if [...]
Recently, in a conversation about Mitt Romney with a friend, I joked that there was no way that a Black Republican of Mormon faith existed. In my mind the odds of this person existing was somewhere up there right along with the reality of pink unicorns, Santa Claus, and Mark Sanchez winning a Superbowl with [...]
“I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.” – Huey P. Newton As I mentioned recently, the New Black Panther Party are a ridiculous ragtag bunch who has nothing substantive to offer the black community or society at large. So why am I talking about them if they’re [...]
To become a religion it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy Apparently, people are up in arms about the humanist/atheist/non-theist group African Americans for Humanism reaching out to the Black community through billboards during Black History Month. I don’t know if the outrage is mostly because people know that atheists eat babies [...]
So I got an email from a reader this morning; a reader who happens to be white. After reading my recent post about the politics of the fake “War on Religion” being waged by president Obama, he felt compelled to write me. No big deal because this happens quite often; yep, it’s not uncommon to [...]
I remember the good old days when the frequency of the word “nigger,” bring used in a movie or press conference was a barometer of racism? Yeah, I wonder what happened to those good old days. At any rate, those days are long gone. And, I suppose the fact that Quentin Tarantino dropping the n-word [...]
So, you know that debate over gun control we’ve had lately, in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting? Yeah, the one where everybody is talking past each other and not making any sense at all, or hardly offering solutions to the problem of gun violence. Yep, that one. Well, given that we’re [...]
As it has been presented, the Obama Administration has indicated that he is ready for serious gun reform. He has pledged to put his “full weight” behind a legislative package for containing gun violence offered by Senator Dianne Feinstein. The bill aims to “stop the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of military-style assault weapons and [...]
So this is where we’re at right now, black folks? Shoot, and here I thought the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta boycott petition on change.org was bad. Now Al Sharpton’s outfit is leading a boycott of the Django Unchained action figures being sold. Jesus Christ! Do we need another black kid armed with Skittles and [...]
So there’s a “Django” action figure being sold now; and, of course, some of my cousins are upset about it — yep, yet another reason yo hate this movie for some. The action figure isn’t actually a stocking stuffer, but I hope it doesn’t have a Kung Fu grip like G.I. Joe. Nope, no need [...]
