OK, so Obama’s “War on Religion” has officially ended. No offense to anyone, but I wish he took care of Jehovah Witness folks knocking on my door; or the creepy guys in white shirts who ride bikes around my neighborhood with said “war”. Oh well, maybe he’ll go after the Amish now. Something tells me [...]
So what do you do when the economy starts showing positive signs of recovery after yelling that president Obama has failed and that the country is heading in the wrong direction? Well, you do what any Republican running for the highest office in the land would do: you create a wedge issue. Yeah, it’s kinda [...]
I’ll admit that I’ve not always been a huge fan of the Komen for the Cure foundation. Through the years, we’ve had a rocky relationship; I even tried to be patient with the latent misogyny in the entire “Save the TaTas” campaign because I hoped that in making their message more appealing to young people [...]
I have yet to see the new George Lucas film Red Tails. From what I’ve heard, it’s a pretty awesome movie which captures the struggle of the Tuskegee Airmen in a pre post-racial America. You know, back in the days when Black folk were just animals fresh off the plantation destined for failure due to a lack [...]
Well, here we are with another Post-Racial America update, folks. I gotta tell you, things here are getting better and better with each passing year. Lemme see, I think this is year number three, no? Yes, it’s funny how far we’ve come in such a short period of time. Today, we have a Republican Congressional [...]
I’ve really been cracking up this week at just how Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have been both fighting over Ronald Reagan’s legacy; or, which one of them Reagan would choose today to give him a blowjob. OK, so that may be a little bit extremist of me; lord knows the 12th commandment forbids anyone from [...]
While some might be quick to cite the failures to right the ship that is America as all the more reasoning to get that ni–… uh, let’s not go there today… “Marxist” out of office this coming November, I am happen to prescribe to a different line of thinking personally… Me? I am more of [...]
At this very moment in time as I type this, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I recently wrote about fellow Tennesseans who just so happen to be members of the Tea party and their presentation of a list of demands to our state lawmakers. Among the requests was the demand to remove [...]
Sometimes, I wonder what it’s like to wake up in the morning, and be so entrenched in my own privilege and prejudices that I attempt with all my might to assert my beliefs on people with whom I have absolutely nothing in common. As a person who faces multiple lines of marginalization, the thought process [...]
I know we’re post-racial and all that but while we’re still discussing shit people say, I thought I’d take some time and discuss the racist rhetoric used (always but mostly recently) by politicians. Recently, I was discussing the politics of language used by Republicans in the media with my dear associate who may be just [...]
So Massa Newt won the South Carolina Primary. Yep, take a bow White Supremacy… oops, I meant to say racist GOP enablers. I know, it’s not exactly surprising that he would win South Carolina; at least not to those of us who have been paying attention to the racist vitriol over the past few weeks. [...]
I got wind of the following information last week listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show. And I’m not gonna lie; this info totally blew my mind. Now I must admit, I’ve been watching this natural hair revolution of sorts by my beautiful Black sisters; and, as far as trends go, I figured it would [...]
So, I think the internet exploded sometime over the last couple of days with the speculation that Chris Brown and Rihanna had reunited. Then for Rihanna’s birthday, she and Chris Brown exchanged tweets and released new music together. I spied with mine own eyes, the entire Gen-whatever-they’re-called running rampant on twitter, and the folks who [...]
I would be inclined think having a kid in the house has changed the length of that “rope” we talk about reaching the end of when it comes to what we will and won’t tolerate. A clear-thinking individual, however, should see the problem in the language used in some certain situations. Recently, XXLMag.com did a [...]
The Spook Who Sat by the Door is both a novel by Sam Greenlee, first published in 1969 (in the UK by Allison & Busby), and a 1973 film of the same name. An explosive, award-winning novel in the black literary tradition, The Spook Who Sat by the Door is both a satire of the [...]
Legendary musical artist Whitney Houston has passed away. Her death leaves countless fans worldwide saddened, and in disbelief. With her troubles with drug abuse, and her tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown being public. With the summer release of her latest movie role, it’s safe to say that almost everyone was anticipating her comeback. But like I said, almost everyone. [...]
