Jesse Jackson Jr. is a disgrace. Apparently being a former congressman has its perks. Aside from the surety of a nice plush job with a lobbying firm, there’s always the possibility of becoming the mayor of a major U.S. city. Which is pretty cool especially if you’re into exercising the privilege of sexually harassing female […]
As much s I celebrate our post-racialness here in America, I really wish my Blaxk Republican cousins would stop it with the ignorant slavery fetish. But hey, when you’re a shill for the political party that makes no bones about how they feel about minorities, I suppose it is hard to step away from the […]
BETWEEN me and the other world there is ever an unasked question: unasked by some through feelings of delicacy; by others through the difficulty of rightly framing it. All, nevertheless, flutter round it. They approach me in a half-hesitant sort of way, eye me curiously or compassionately, and then, instead of saying directly, How does […]
So, what was Michelle Obama talking about when that GetEqual heckler interrupted her? When I first read about First Lady Michelle Obama’s confrontation with Ellen Sturtz of the gay rights group GetEqual, I laughed. The first lady was keeping it real. Sturtz clearly did not know who she was messing with, I thought. It’s no […]
Don’t you wish Barack Obama could be as free as Michelle Obama when talking to people in public? Yesterday, she took down a lesbian protester from the group GetEqual while speaking at a private democratic fundraiser that cost $500-$10,000 to attend. You can read it here. The self identified lesbian protestor started yelling about the need for […]
Allow me to share with you something hilarious — at least to me it is. The subject of this post is of my favorite black conservative, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. If you’ve been following this site for the last five years, you’ll know that Peterson has the dubious distinction of being a recipient of my […]
It appears that the Republican party is interested in re-branding their image. For some strange reason — I’m not sure if getting their asses kicked in the last election means anything — they’ve decided that there’s a need to be more inclusive, respectful, and mindful of minority voters. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus hinted at this […]
Editor’s Note: The following is an open letter to Dr. Lester Lefton, President of Kent State University on the importance of diversity in Ohio and the United States. It was originally published at culturelovefamily.com. I am writing to you as Founder and President Emeritus of the Kent State University college chapter of the National Association […]
Only a moral coward would refuse to acknowledge or speak out on this racist Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazine cover. Said coward will usually say something to reinforce the egregious notion that black and brown folk are to blame for the bursting of the housing bubble in 2007, that ultimately led to what we now know as […]
Marco McMillan is described as a rising star in Clarksdale, Mississippi politics. Unfortunately for him, his family, and the individuals who supported his candidacy as mayor of Clarksdale, McMillan is dead. The black openly gay mayoral candidate’s body was found battered and bruised. I spoke to a friend with ties to Clarksdale a few days […]
So Jesse Jackson Jr . and his Wife Sandi a former alderman and at times his campaign treasurer and manager are planning to plead guilty to federal charges being filed against them in relationship to misuse of campaign funds. There are additional charges of filing false tax returns that have to be answered as well for […]
Okay, so where do I start this one? Well, let’s just say that this one hits close to home — literally. Alright, so I got a call from my beat friend who lives in Evansville, Indiana early last week. He called to tell me about a local story involving the Evansville Police Department and an […]
There are good cops, and there are bad cops. And then there are cops like Herbert Eugene Miller who make it hard for good cops by betraying the public trust. Not that he is known for being overly aggressive as an officer of the law. But in a world where the first line of public […]
Benjamin Crump, the attorney for the parents of Trayvon Martin, has an interesting op-ed in the Washington Post this week. In it, he makes the case for an amendment to Florida’s stand-your-ground law. Given the fact that the Dream Defenders are no longer occupying the state Capitol and office of Florida’s Governor Rick Scott. For […]
Don’t ever let it be said that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn’t love the minorities in his city. I mean, if as Mayor your rationale or justification for the violation of the rights of minorities happens to be because you’re trying to keep them safe as Bloomberg has, then yes, I would say […]
