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 [...]

Dear white people, “One of the good ones” is just as condescending when trying to explain how you are not racist, and just outright shaming whatever group you speak, of at any given time. Examples include: “My daughter had a baby by this Mexican guy, but he is one of the good ones, works a nice job and [...]

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 [...]

Trayvon Martin’s mother filed an insurance claim against the homeowners association of the gated community Retreat at Twin Lakes where her son was killed. She’s seeking $75,000 in compensation for the death of her son. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I think it’s ridiculous on her part. I could be wrong, [...]

When Justin Bieber, a Canadian who wears sagging pants (a fashion style that is said to come from prison culture), tweets Missy Franklin for winning a gold, it is called sweet teen spirit. When volleyball players sport itty-bitty-titty bikini’s in front of the royal palace, it’s called a proper uniform. When the English Queen does [...]

There isn’t anything remotely close to London Olympic gold medalist, Gabby Douglas, being a squirrel—be it flying, scurrying or smashed like roadkill. Gabby is the quintessential American hero who has risen like a graceful Phoenix—dark skin, thick lips, broad nose, coily hair and all. Gabby is not a mascot that you pat in sympathy with white [...]

I noticed something funny this past week. Every time, for the past few years now, someone has referred to President Obama as being “black,” the casual passive-aggressive racist would quickly discount that and remind us that he is actually mixed-race, because his mother was white. Well, if you missed it on this very blog , [...]

Just how did Wells Fargo Bank get the biggest bailout of all the banks when they said that they did not need a bailout? Reportedly, Wells Fargo Bank, the second largest bank in the US was not hurting at all. Especially, after they purchased Wachovia Bank with almost half of the $25 billion that they received [...]

So apparently black men are shooting themselves in the head while handcuffed in the backseat of police cars, huh? Shit, why not just saw ourselves in half like all magicians do? Hell, at least we’d be still alive, right? No seriously, that’s probably the best reaction I have to the story involving 21-year-old, Chavis Carter. [...]

While browsing the internet for current events, I happened upon some buzz of the “WTF?” variety regarding an independently published YA novel written by Victoria Foyt called, “Save the Pearls Part One: Revealing Eden.” A quick Google search led me to an interesting list of results; which included dismay from bloggers, Amazon stats [the book [...]
