For a very long time I walked the earth as a black man without knowing that by virtue of having a penis, I was special. No, not in some sick and twisted Mandingo worship sort of way — please believe, the myth about black men is just that: a myth. Of course this penile sense […]
According to a new Quinnipiac University poll, 53 percent of Americans favor stand-your-ground self-defense laws. I don’t want to go into detail about the law just yet — we’ll get there further down in this post. Besides, I’ve written about it here, here, and here before today (yes, I have said a lot). In the […]
At his sentencing in a Cleveland courtroom, Ariel Castro said, “I am not a monster.” Whether you agree with him or not, one thing is for sure: Ariel Castro doesn’t deserve the “Humanitarian of the Year” award. Castro mad some sort of half-assed justification for the abduction of three Cleveland women who he held for […]
I want to have a conversation with Rodger William Kelly. I have never been compelled to have a conversation with any of the subjects in the stories that I post on this site. But this motherfucker right here?!! Oh yeah, we need to have a heart-to-heart conversation about saving lives, sex, and rape. Not that […]
Have you heard all the talk about women being sexually assaulted in the military lately? Apparently it happens so often, that if you’re a woman who felt like being a victim, joining the military may be just the thing that you need. Yes, the rates of sexual assault are higher in the military than it […]
You probably won’t hear much about this case. As it is right now, it hasn’t received any national traction in the mainstream media. Why? Well, your guess is as good as mine. I suppose the fact that none of the accused are members of a local high school football or basketball team has something to […]
I don’t see too many of “us” in the black blogosphere writing about the Kaitlyn Hunt story, and I think it’s unfortunate. Why? Because with a few exceptions, in many ways it mirrors the Genarlow Wilson case. What’s ironic, is that I don’t see advocates for victims of rape, like famed word-hustler and blogger, Gina […]
The Genarlow Wilson case is burning up the internet again… This case gained notoriety when it hit the headlines back around 2007. The case and subsequent conviction of Genarlow Wilson was based on a flawed statue that made it a felony for a minor to engage in oral sex with another minor – while if […]
It’s pretty clear that Republicans are taking shots at Hillary Clinton in lieu of her possible presidential run in 2016. I know it’s only 2013 and we’re a long way away from the next presidential election. But, when you’ve lost two election cycles back to back as Republicans have, to a black guy with a […]
I have five siblings, and if any one of them did what Ariel Castro did, I’d be done with them just like Onil and Pedro Castro has their brother. The two Castro brothers were released and were not charged in connection with the kidnapping, rape, and torture of three Cleveland women held captive for ten […]
As I mentioned a few days ago, Charles Ramsey is that dude. His act of heroism is undeniable, and it doesn’t matter how much dirt from his past being dug up by the media. Why? Well, it’s not like he’s running for office or trying to court votes. Nope, Charles Ramsey isn’t out here running […]
On Twitter last night, I caught wind of the latest internet fuck-up done at the expense of black history and black women. Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons posted a video that parodies slavery and the constant surfacing of celebrity sex tapes released to the open public. However, the video was no laughing matter. The Youtube video, […]

So a federal judge says that the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk policy which targets minorities is unconstitutional and discriminatory And now NYC mayor, Mike Bloomberg is mad, and acting like the judge just told him that white folks have to pick cotton for free. Of course, as white privilege would have it, according to Bloomberg, the NYPD […]
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the heat Don Lemon caught from the black community for comments he made on his “no Talking Points” segment. To many, his comments in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict — especially in seeking to take it further than Bill O’Reilly’s ignorant comments — was a […]
On Friday, President Barack Obama made it perfectly clear that Edward Snowden is no patriot in response to a question from MSNBC’s Chuck Todd. And you know what? As I’ve written before, Snowden is most definitely not a patriot. So yeah, I’m with Obama on this one all the way. And yes, Snowden should be […]
