Legendary musical artist Whitney Houston has passed away. Her death leaves countless fans worldwide saddened, and in disbelief. With her troubles with drug abuse, and her tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown being public. With the summer release of her latest movie role, it’s safe to say that almost everyone was anticipating her comeback. But like I said, almost everyone. [...]

Well, I guess someone saw it fit to actually spend money to conduct a study to tell us something that we already know. Excuse me, something that only Black people knew. I mean let’s face it: this isn’t exactly new groundbreaking news, yes? But as I mentioned to a friend, nothing is official in America [...]

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 have yet to see the new George Lucas film Red Tails. From what I’ve heard, it’s a pretty awesome movie which captures the struggle of the Tuskegee Airmen in a pre post-racial America. You know, back in the days when Black folk were just animals fresh off the plantation destined for failure due to a lack [...]

Have you noticed just how the GOP establishment has been rallying around Mitt Romney? They’ve pretty much settled on Mitt being that ugly girl they’re taking to the prom. So seriously, they’re doing all they can to sink the tugboat that is Newt Gingrich. All the while, said establishment hasn’t been paying as much as [...]

Recently I mentioned how the state of Tennessee has become more of a “red state” since 2010′s midterm elections. I’ve told you about the new Voter ID law, and a couple other changes.

I know we’re post-racial and all that but while we’re still discussing shit people say, I thought I’d take some time and discuss the racist rhetoric used (always but mostly recently) by politicians. Recently, I was discussing the politics of language used by Republicans in the media with my dear associate who may be just [...]

So what do you do when you don’t have the funds or have to resort to begging the likes of Bill O’Reilly for airtime in your bid to become the Republican presidential nominee? Well if you’re Rick Santorum and you’ve been traversing the state of Iowa on foot to gain the support of church folk, [...]

Don’t congratulate me on that nifty headline either, those words aren’t mine, rather they belong to Herman Cain where he was quoted at a recent appearance at the Americans for Prosperity (AFP) convention “Defending the American Dream only days ago. Now if that ain’t some coon shit! You’re probably wondering how did the well spoken corporate [...]

Ok white folks, lemme let you in on a lil’ secret. You remember how mad y’all were at Michael Vick and what he did to those pit-bulls? Yeah, y’all were mad as hell about the dogfighting, and him killing those poor innocent pit-bulls, remember? Well, I’m not sure if anybody ever told y’all, but us [...]

Remember when back in 2008 when right-wingers all criticized then Senator Barack Obama for not having any experience? Or, more specifically, not having enough experience to be president of the United States? Yeah, remember that? Remember when our current president was just “a community organizer,” without any experience for the job? Or, remember his non-military [...]
