I’ve been following the news surrounding the controversy over the name change of the Washington Redskins (one of few American sports teams with Native American nicknames and monikers). Native American activists and advocates have been working to get the team to change its name, but so far, the team’s owner Daniel Snyder continues to refuse. […]
Last Friday a woman called 911 seeking medical assistance after she suspected that her fiancé may have taken too much insulin. Instead of an ambulance, police responded to the Waycross, Georgia home to what they say was a suicide attempt. Shortly after their arrival, 43-year-old Jack Lamar Roberson, is shot and killed for acting aggressively and […]
Even President Obama has weighed into the debate over the name of the NFL team the Washington Redskins, indicating if he owned the team, he would “think about” changing the name. But here’s the thing: I’ve heard many opinions on this issue, but very few from actual Native Americans. Most people writing about this issue think it’s not a big […]
The name Miriam Carey is one we should never forget. The woman at the center of what is looking more and more like yet another potential case of excessive police force is just as dead as Jonathan Ferrell, another name we should never forget. Mr. Ferrell shot dead and killed after an automobile accident by police […]
I’m bothered by the centerpiece of news reports on yesterday’s shooting on Capitol Hill being police officers working without pay, due to the government shutdown. I’d like to think that the real story would be the victim, and postpartum depression. That said, maybe if she was armed with an assault rifle there’d be more of […]
“President Obama can’t wait to get Americans addicted to the crack cocaine of dependency on more government health care.” -Michele Bachmann And now we will see just how long the privileged illiterates in Congress can hold their breath to stop the Affordable Care Act, which having been passed by Capital Hill, signed by the President […]
I have been having so much thoughts about Veronica Brown, it has been unsettling. With the adoptive couple now suing the biological father for half a million dollars on top of taking his daughter away from him. Adding insult to injury. My mom said it goes to show, the government still doesn’t care about us. […]
Craig Cobb is a white supremacist who has been recently purchasing land in a small North Dakota town called Leith. His plan is to transform the tiny town of twenty-four residents into a haven of white supremacy; and he plans to do so by first gaining political power. When I first came across this story […]
This week has certainly been eventful, and not in a good way mostly. We had a mass shooting at a navy yard in Washington D.C. that rocked the nation, and just as I feared, it was done by a brotha. Aaron Alexis was reported as a man with mental illnesses that a history of gun […]
I’m gonna need future mass shooters to be responsible enough to write a “suicide note” and keep it on their person before flipping out and killing innocent people.. Yes, because listening to the media speculate motive in the wake of this latest shooting, and bring up stuff like, “That one time at band camp,” irritates […]
Only in America can a black man cheat death by surviving a car wreck only to be shot and killed by a police officer while attempting to seek help after said car wreck. I hope that opening line sounds as absurd to you as the story of the death of Jonathan Ferrell, 24, a former […]

I understood what gentrification was long before I learned the definition in college. It didn’t take a loan from Sallie Mae for me to notice the deterioration of my neighborhood to the point of it resembling a third world country. As the environment deteriorates the local papers report of Federal funding and the plans to […]
Meritocracy says that anyone working at McDonald’s in this country doesn’t deserve to be earning a penny more than they now are. Why? Because they’re not worthy. Why? Because in this country one’s success is measured by how much better one is living relative to the other. For people who are against an increase of […]
With 2.3 million people incarcerated in the U.S. does this shock you? Because being a prison guard can be monotonous and boring — aside from the occasional riot or scuffle. Prison Guards are sadly dauted with the task of finding a source of entertainment for themselves when not participating in prison corruption, by making money […]
