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 […]
Proving that some people aren’t interested in having a much-needed conversation on race, within the media, said much-needed conversation has turned into a conversation on black-on-black crime. If I didn’t know any better it would be easy for me to conclude that racism only exists in America because black people are killing each other. Yes, […]
I really hate to be a party pooper, but I don’t see this happening. I know, some of you are holding out hope that the Department Of Justice (DOJ) might come through in the interest of justice. But the truth is that, such an indictment in this case is unlikely. Given the evidence as we […]
Even with official charges being filed by the U.S. government, Edward Snowden continues his globetrotting while being heralded as a hero by many opposed to the NSA data-mining program. Snowden has been reported to have left Hong Kong and is now in Moscow. In spite of a plea to turn himself in by his dad, […]
Not that I ever really lost it, but Edward Snowden has restored my faith in America. Whether you regard him as a hero or as a “traitor,” as John Boehner called him for his revealing government secrets (secrets which are in fact perfectly legal). The fact remains: There is nowhere else on earth that a […]
Pissed off that the govt is spying on you? Welcome to being black in America. My man, Dr. Cornel West called it the “Niggerization of America.” And it’s been happening since 9/11. To that point, watching privileged folk lose their freedom-loving minds this morning, has been nothing but pure comedy for me. Oh, and when […]
Okay, repeat after me: “Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t believe the hype!” Yes, there’s been a lot of talk about rising premiums and how Obamacare has made things so expensive that employers are now forced to cut the hours of low-wage workers. Well, newsflash: it isn’t even 2014, and the exchanges haven’t even been set up […]
If a well-known Klan leader wanted to adopt a black baby, I wouldn’t have a problem with the government giving him extra scrutiny. Yep, and that’s how I view this IRS scandal. Sure, it may have been a threat to democracy; but, a black baby was saved in the process. I’m sorry, but that’s exactly […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not feeling these new movies where the White House gets taken out by terrorists. When the POTUS was white, the only people who could take out the White House were aliens or the occasional tidal wave produced by a meteor. But now that the president is black and Will […]
Boston Marathon Bombing: Another White Guy Rampage in America Personally, I don’t give a rat’s ass if the Tsarnaev brothers are white. No one who goes around throwing bombs and killing people for no reason is ever gonna make it into my top ten list of favorite people on this earth, anyway, regardless of their […]
Okay, teachable moment aside, the truth is that in America much to the disadvantage of dark-skinned people, the Muslim religion is used to denote one’s race. Why? Because, well, Jesus was a Jew and of course everybody knows that Jesus was a white man, right? Never mind the fact that both religions are spinoffs from […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
