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 [...]
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 [...]
A good friend and longtime reader hit me up this week and mentioned that North Carolina was attempting to right their wrongs by compensating women who were sterilized via a Eugenics program.

There’s something ironic about Ann Coulter saying that racism would be dead if it wasn’t for the mainstream media and Democrats, while peddling a book on Fox & Friends about how racist Democrats are. Yep, this from the woman who not too long ago in defense of Herman Cain said that, “Our blacks are better [...]
2010 and 2011 were years that saw Black women being put under intense scrutiny. Studies and shoddily collected data that seemed based on biases and tropes about Black female pathology, outlined why a high percentage of us are single, why we’re scientifically uglier than non-Black women, how disgusting or unappealing our bodies and attitudes supposedly [...]
Ok, I know; yes, he really did say that. No, this isn’t one of those headlines from The Onion that has anything to do with rolling down airplane windows. No, this is real life Mitt Romney, folks. As if we needed to be convinced that Romney is out-of-touch with the lives of human beings, Mitt, [...]
