Remember when president Obama “evolved” recently, and publicly expressed his new support for same-sex marriage? Remember the ruckus his new position created with church folk? Yes, the same Christians who saw this as an attack on the sacred institution of marriage? The same Christians who will argue with anyone until the rapture, that marriage was [...]
I’m so disappointed with the black community this week. First off, I can’t believe that none of you are protesting the police shooting death last weekend of the naked face-eating black man down in Miami. OK, so maybe some of you have yet to get over the shock of him being black – I know, [...]
I know, yes, the title of this post is ridiculous; and yes, the nerve of these assholes to exclude black folks from their cross burning. Yep, and here you thought we were post-racial here in 2012, right? Oh well, once again North Carolina has raised the bar on bigotry; this time, by refusing to be an [...]
I think that one of my proudest moments in life happened at the beginning of this year: my younger brother – a heterosexual Black adult male – joined me in the fight against Amendment One by taking a photo with me, donning “Vote Against” t-shirts. For about a year, I’ve worked tirelessly against the passing [...]
I don’t watch football; I will neither confirm nor deny whether my reasoning for disinterest is based on my capacity to understand that game. While many of you were enjoying the big sporting event of the year yesterday, I was working (and missing out on festivities that included alcohol and party food). I’m not disappointed, [...]
Racism and bigotry… This year, political hopefuls and elected officials seem to be wearing the ignorant tags like an expensive, well-tailored suit and my home state of Connecticut offers no exceptions. After the FBI arrested four East Haven, CT police officers for gross instances of racial profiling and terrorization of Latinos navigating the town; assistant director-in-charge of the NY [...]
In a recent post, someone said that I should be more worried about Planned Parenthood killing Black babies, than Ron Paul or his racist newsletters. I thought that comment was mighty white of that privileged individual. So having said that, I’m not sure if I should be concerned about the following situation down in Mississippi. [...]
Capital Punishment in the United States is like serving Schlitz Malt Liquor at a five-star wine and spirit tasting. It is that toothless, barefoot, stinking Uncle Jethro spitting tobacco in the pristine white porcelain handwash bowl during a five course gourmet meal. Not saying that being pristine and white are the sweet Victorian elixirs of [...]
So Charles Koch – one half of the infamous uber-rich right-wing money machine known as the Koch Brothers – had a meeting with wealthy GOP donors in Colorado recently. Brad Friedman of The Brad Blog is reporting over at Mother Jones that there is an audio of the Charles Koch, where in addressing would-be-donors, he referred [...]
Some time ago, I remember mentioning that the state of Michigan (and Detroit in particular), was ground zero for what the GOP has in store for America. From Detroit closing schools, giving teachers the boot, and introducing the for profit charter school model, to taking over entire municipalities and leaving elected official like mayors and city [...]
Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West – two of Black America’s least favorite Negroes right now – have embarked on what they call a “Poverty Tour”. My guess is they plan to criss cross America highlighting the millions of Americans negatively impacted by the Great Recession. You know, judging by policy choices and enactments on Capitol [...]

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 [...]
When it comes to white American terrorists, white consciousness is as psychopathic and un-Patriotic as its latest perpetrator, James Holmes. Yes, I said his goddamn name. James Holmes, James Holmes, James Holmes, James Holmes, James Holmes. Remember him, very well, for he is the latest symbol of white domestic terrorists who are provided the courtesy [...]
So you know I’m laughing as I type this, right? Oh yeah, I’m literally laughing my ass off over this one. According to Ancestry.com, extensive research has concluded that president Obama is linked by blood, to the very first African enslaved for life here in America back in 1640, as punishment for attempting to escape [...]
I must admit, Graham Spanier’s latest job in crisis management for the US government is extremely appropriate. I cannot see a better candidate who can cover up a fuck up (literally) for more than 10 years like the ousted president of Penn State. Spanier said in a recent email: “For the next several months, as [...]
