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 [...]
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 [...]
I really got a kick out of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney’s exchange on, well, everything in last night’s GOP debate. But what really made me laugh was that they brought up Newt’s idea of building a colony on the moon; an “American” colony at that. No word yet as to whether English would be [...]
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. There’s something creepy about uttering the words, “Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.” When I hear it — no matter who says it — I feel like I should be getting flowers and gifts delivered [...]
Well, they say all good things and Michele Bachmann come to an end. And well, ever since Bachmann’s eerily weird “they’re all gonna laugh at you,” shtick that was supposed to pass for a State of the Union rebuttal. You just knew that her Republican presidential nomination campaign would soon come to a screeching halt after the Iowa Caucus. [...]
I mean, I’m really curious to know if God is really against the gays serving openly in the military as Rick Perry would have us believe in a recent campaign ad. I’m sure God may encourage kids praying in schools, but again, gays serving in the military? You mean God is opposed to that more [...]
So it was with great anticipation that I awaited Herman Cain’s big announcement today. Not that I supported him, his platform, or anything he had rto say. Instead, the blog author in me wanted to see if this most recent gift from the political comedy Gods would fade to Black. Would he stay? Would he [...]
Can you imagine 10, 000 years from now humankind reading a book written by George W. Bush (or one of his neo-con disciples), which uses the historical backdrop of the USA, and it being widely accepted as being divinely inspired? Can you imagine? Didn’t he say God told him to invade Iraq, but yet he lied about [...]
Lemme just go ahead and say it: given the current field of GOP presidential candidates, it’s quite obvious that a premium is being placed on the idiot vote. I’m not sure whether the idiot vote represents itself as a sizable voting block. However, such facts aside, it’s quite clear that “certain people” in America are not happy with the [...]
“Now girl step up to this, one simple kiss, and it’s over miss.” – Big Daddy Kane, “Smooth Operator” It really was a helluva day yesterday, folks. There was Herman Cain’s fourth accuser coming out; Dr. Conrad Murray’s verdict; the Penn State pedophile; hell, all we needed was O.J. Simpson’s jailhouse confession to killing Nicole, [...]
Remember when back in 2008 when right-wingers all criticized then Senator Barack Obama for not having any experience? Or, more specifically, not having enough experience to be president of the United States? Yeah, remember that? Remember when our current president was just “a community organizer,” without any experience for the job? Or, remember his non-military [...]
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. [...]
