Allow me to put things in perspective for those still actually “getting it” about Black unemployment in America. You know, the people who don’t understand why Black folks are bitching more than usual? C’mon, we Black people do complain about a lot of things; and yes, some of them can be trivial. But when it [...]
I don’t know if it’s just me, but Kanye West’s song brings up memories of me dating black men who never stopped dating their mothers, and really never removed themselves off of the tit. I think I’m going to throw up as these flashes of men who had these bizarre pseudo-sexual, intimate relationships. This song [...]
The following is a true story. Not too long ago, I got a phone call from a distraught friend. Apparently, he was caught by his wife masturbating, which isn’t so strange.

Shit, I’ve even partied in the Akara festival in Nigeria. And at all of them I danced until I almost passed out. However, running to prevent [...]
I gotta admit: I miss Keith Olbermann. OK, so I know though no longer on MSNBC that he can be seen on Current TV nightly. His show was always must see political TV in my opinion. But I must admit: with him no longer on MSNBC it’s just not the same. It’s kinda like that [...]
I don’t know about you, but when I think about crosses being burned or planted outside of a Black homeowners residence, I generally never think of the state of Delaware.
