Georgia Prison Reform Reduce Prison Population You probably wouldn’t know it, because the media hardly mentioned it. But, prisoners incarcerated across the state of Georgia held hunger strikes in protest of prison conditions. I;m not sure about the success of those protests because I can’t speak on any documented changes within the system. However, what [...]
Well, it’s the weekend I’ve been waiting for, folks. Nope, I’m not into getting dressed up and attending Easter Sunday service with the rest of the fake Christians. No, instead, this is the weekend that the Klu Klux Klan is coming to Memphis. That’s right, a real live major Klan rally and protest is going [...]
This year, I made a pledge to myself that I was not going to feature what I call mugshot stories. That would be, stories in particular that feature people of color being arrested for doing dumb shit. Yes, the internet is filled with those type of stories and there’s no need for me to add [...]
So yeah, about that whole lazy moocher, non-tax-paying, 47 percent, Obama-loving-voter meme running around in right-wing circles this week thanks to Mitt Romney. My man David Callahan who blogs over at Demos has done an excellent job of debunking much of it in a recent post titled, Freeloader Fabrications. I believe the post to be [...]
Dear white people, “One of the good ones” is just as condescending when trying to explain how you are not racist, and just outright shaming whatever group you speak, of at any given time. Examples include: “My daughter had a baby by this Mexican guy, but he is one of the good ones, works a nice job and [...]
Rapper, Lupe Fiasco released the video for his most recent song, “Bitch Bad”. Not one to mince words about the state of politics and social issues, Lupe takes on the cultural impact of the word bitch… which has weaved its way into the lexicon of popular-culture, for better or worse. Rappers laud the traits of [...]
Yes, you read that right: A man used the Bible to threaten a woman with rape at a Gay Pride Parade in Michigan. I realize I haven’t said anything about the Chick-Fil-A anti-gay marriage turned pro-gay marriage controversy in recent weeks. And to be honest, I’m not going to say anything about it; frankly, I [...]
Pastor C.L. Bryant, a Black Republican, refers to himself as a “runaway slave,” in the following interview with Glenn Beck. Bryant was essentially promoting the latest Coonrasric epic propagandist film production, Runaway Slaves which is currently in theaters (more on that foolishness in a future post). Beck also says in the interview, that Conservatives are [...]
The well meaning researchers over at Boston University have been researching health issues pertaining to Black women’s bodies since the early 90s. Personally, I take issue with most research that specifically points out things regarding “more aggressive” forms of certain diseases without taking into consideration other social factors. According to BU’s Black Women’s Health Study [...]
Karma used to be a bitch, now its a black man wearing a Yamaka in the middle of Kwanzaa. Ahh, its nothing like the sweet revenge from some voodoo boudin (a fat delicious sausage native to Louisiana) to fuck up the banking monopoly that has been carefully planned by elite, blue blood European families for [...]
The effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker in tomorrow’s Wisconsin election will undoubtedly have repercussions far beyond the boundaries of the state. Walker has come to be seen as the point man in the GOP’s concerted assault on the American middle class. All across the country GOP governors and Republican-controlled legislatures have launched aggressive campaigns [...]
When conjuring up an image of what the quintessential companion of a wealthy Sugar Daddy looks like, as dictated by popular culture, perhaps visions of a young, thin but buxom blond woman dances in your head. Or maybe an ‘exotic’, racially ambiguous variation, whose aesthetic still passes muster when it comes to rigid beauty standards. [...]
Looks like “racial entitlement” won big today… So the Supreme Court didn’t announce any rulings related to “the gays” or “blah people” today. While many of us on the left side of the political side of things anxiously await rulings on DOMA, Prop 8, Affirmative Action as well as the Voting Rights Act. U suppose [...]
I can think of many reasons to support immigration reform. But of all the reasons to sup[port immigration reform, I never knew that the fertility of immigrants would be one of them. Being an immigrant myself, you would think that I would have been wise to this obvious advantage. But it just goes to show [...]
By now, you’ve probably heard about Judge Edith Jones, a former chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. If you haven’t, you may want to sit down and take your nerve pills pronto. Judge Jones is in the media spotlight for having racist attitudes regarding blacks, Latinos and Mexican Nationals. She [...]
Hello young brotha. I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I hope you are doing well, and I hope life is treating you well. I wrote this letter as a response to your latest song entitled “I Hit It First”. First off, you really have a good voice. You definitely have talent. However, [...]
