Does Anti-Profiling Legislation Really Work?

May 15, 2012 No Comments by

There is not a person in this country who does not know that the police engages in racial profiling. If a Black person says they are not aware of this practice, they are either not yet beyond the toddler stage of life, or being intentionally deceptive in hopes of receiving special considerations from the white [...]

Post-Racial Update: Republican KKK Leader Running for Sheriff Invites Media to Cross Burning

May 14, 2012 1 Comment by

As if Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wasn’t bad enough, in steps Shaun Winkler, a white supremacist running for sheriff. As a Republican, Winkler hopes to become Bonner County, Idaho’s next sheriff. As anybody running for office will tell you, media attention is something welcomed and often sought by candidates. That said, not one [...]

Niggas In Paris, the Brooklyn Nets, & Cracka-Ass-Crackas…

May 11, 2012 2 Comments by

It’s been over a week since New York Post journalist Phil Mushnick caused a stir with his under handed racist comments aimed at New York Nets owner Jay-Z. While more tolerant internet media outlets waited for the pointless piece to quietly be removed from the NY Post web site, others insisted the author would be suspended, reprimanded, or [...]

Obama’s America: White New Jersey Mother Arrested For Tanning 6-Year-Old Daughter

May 02, 2012 9 Comments by

Apparently things are pretty bad for white folks in America these days. Sure, we’re post-racial; and yes, the country is being headed by a guy with black skin. However, with the crippling white unemployment rate in this post-recessionary jobless economy, coupled with the usual centuries-long internalized oppression forced upon them by slavery and that Jim Crow thing– [...]

Wait, a Racist White Person is Allowed to Work at Essence Magazine?

Apr 27, 2012 4 Comments by

Years ago when Essence came under fire for hiring a white woman as the creative fashion director for the iconic Black women’s magazine, I came to the defense of that decision. I still believe that it was the right thing to do. If I wanted to work at Glamour magazine, a publication that primarily focuses [...]

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 [...]

Apr 07, 2012 11 Comments

Hey, guess what? George Zimmerman is still a free man; yes, he has yet to be arrested in connection with the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Now, as far as I know, as of the time of first punched keystroke in this entry he was still a free man. Of course, all of this could [...]

Scott Henson, Trayvon Martin, & the Kinda Sorta Argument in Support of Racial Profiling

Apr 04, 2012 9 Comments

OK, let’s face it: the only reason anyone is talking about Trayvon Martin is because he’s dead, and George Zimmerman hasn’t been arrested. Yes, if Zimmerman never followed Martin, pending on what the police did once they showed up after his 911 call, Trayvon may still be alive today. Yes, there would  be no million hoodie marches, [...]

Racist State of Mind: South Dakota

Apr 03, 2012 5 Comments

I had read a comment the other day by someone who said “racism was not important” and pretty much acted like it was non-existent. Now, I am not saying this to be racist, but the person that commented was white. And truth be told, you don’t ever feel racism when you’re white unless you are [...]

Derrick Bell Fallout: Fighting for the Full and Equal Rights of Black People is Most Certainly Anti-White Racism

Mar 16, 2012 No Comments

In full hazmat suit and knee high waders, I have been picking through the cesspool that is Breitbart conservative Right-wing demagoguing regarding the late Derrick Bell and his “relationship” with President Obama. For folks who are familiar with Dr. Bell’s work, were lucky to have met him, been mentored by him, or know anything about Critical [...]
