Keith Lamont Scott: On Why Hugs Aren’t Enuf

Staff — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 22:27:13 +0000

I currently live in North Carolina. By now, I’m certain plenty of people have heard of the latest state-sanctioned execution of another person of color; this time, a disabled Black man by the name of Keith Lamont Scott. We’ve been having protests here in response, and like usual, our rasclot of a governor McCrory is

Keith Lamont Scott and the Visuals of Brutality

Darcwonn — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 13:36:31 +0000

Days ago, a great confidant by the name of Anthony Haskins noted that he wasn’t going to watch anymore videos of black men being killed by police. When I read this, I was fully supportive. From my perspective, watching videos of people being killed can have a negative effect on you. With so much happening

Please, Take A Seat Like Colin Kaepernick

December 1, 1955, The United States was catapulted into the movement that became the Civil Rights Movement. One simple, yet effective act of protest led a race of people to band together and demand change. The Montgomery Bus Boycott began as quietly as a morning sunrise. The ripples of that monumental event were far reaching

What a week it has been for the man we call Colin Kaepernick. Right after it was discovered that he doesn’t stand for the National Anthem due to police brutality issues, there have been opinions left and right. Some people love it while others hate it. You have people distancing themselves while Kaepernick’s jersey sales

Colin Kaepernick is the Blackest Man in America

Rippa — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 23:17:37 +0000

In a country where then presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama, was ridiculed for not wearing a flag pin, the backlash Colin Kaepernick is receiving, makes perfect sense. After all, like Obama, Kaepernick is also black. And, as whiteness would have it, black people in America, should be forever thankful to be American. Because, of course,

Clark Toys vs. Kaepernick: The Colin Kaepernick Saga 2

Darcwonn — Tue, 06 Sep 2016 15:02:50 +0000

Due to a “rise in popularity”, Colin Kaepernick’s jersey sales have risen. That’s right, folks: America’s favorite protesting son (of recent) has made the 49ers some more money. Many people are either buying them for sentimental value/support or to actually burn in effigy. Either or, the 49ers will take their love/hate all the way to

Colin Kaepernick and the Denial of Racism

Eddie Blue-Eyes — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 23:31:08 +0000

There ain’t no white man in this room that will change places with me — and I’m rich. That’s how good it is to be white. There’s a one-legged busboy in here right now that’s going: ‘I don’t want to change. I’m gonna ride this white thing out and see where it takes me.’ — Chris

Colin Kaepernick is Not Your Tap Dancing Coon

Darcwonn — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 03:37:03 +0000

Usually, Colin Kaepernick becomes the chagrin for things that he doesn’t do. A lot of people don’t care for him because he has a knack of lacking fundamental quarterback skills. Or, there is some type of concern for his decision making. And there has yet to be a great return on investment in him as

Charles Kinsey Wasn’t “Accidentally” Shot By Police

Rippa — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 12:53:00 +0000

So somebody in the North Miami connected to and representing their police department thinks I’m stupid. I don’t know who that person might be. However, they must really really really think I’m a fool. Yep, according to reports, they’re trying to convince me – and everyone paying attention – that, the police didn’t really intend
