You Know Before We Go Off the Deep End Maybe We Should Take A Breath Or Two

It’s so easy to feel antsy and worry about what the Obama administration will and will not mean for us. Will he pick too many former Clinton staffers? Will those that supported him early on have more access and drown out the voices of those that still haven’t [...]

Barack & Michelle Come to Washington

Don’t they making a dashing pair? Reuters/Joshua Roberts It will take me at least a year before the idea of seeing Brown people who are in charge at the White House becomes old hat. It may be a symbolic gesture but it has still has merit for many. I am very curious about how [...]

While Prop 8 Rages On Racial Profiling Continues in Palo Alto

In case all you Obama stans thought it was going to be hug a Negro Day and an end to white guilt, the contrast could not be greater. While mostly white middle class people who identify as gay rage about the failure of their entitlement to Prop 8 for voting for Obama, Black and Latino [...]

Prop 8: Evaluating & Finding Common Ground

Let the Backlash From Prop 8 Be A Warning

Here in California the moment of our coming together unraveled rather quickly don’t you think? Some people may not have noticed yet but certain people have already drawn their line on the white side and are gunning for our jugular. Some of these white people who identify as gay were sorta okay with following the [...]

Leave Sarah Palin Alone!

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth! I still despise the woman for her policies, her racism, her lack of concern for other women and her ignorance but this barrage of negative information leaking from the McCain camp (you know the one who was the top of the ticket) needs [...]

Magic Negros & Blaming Black People for the Failure of No on 8

**NOTE to NO on 8 Organizers: YOU MESSED UP! Admit it and do something about it!! You don’t get a cookie because you (may have) voted for Obama. You’re really doing a disservice to those that supported your agenda while you let others speak for you and BASH BLACK PEOPLE. I was reluctant to touch [...]

Black Women It’s Time To Get Your Own Barack

Or get your own Michelle if you are so inclined. Holla!! Here’s the kicker: “He” may most likely not be Black. Yeah I know…breathe. It’s okay. Really. Just like so many of those that ‘fear’ an Obama Presidency even though we’ll all live a higher quality of life, Black women need to stop worshipping at [...]

The Real Affirmative Action Candidate

J. Scott Applewhite/AP Photo Is going back to Alaska and I’m so sorry for my fellow citizens up North but she’s your problem! You voted for her in the first place. We have our own idiot Governor to deal with. If the Republicans think they can trot the CTLF (Candidate They’d Like to F*ck) [...]

Black Women Coming Full Circle

Let’s acknowledge the assistance and support Barack Obama has received from his staunchest allies: Black women. From his wife, to Oprah, to the Black vote which is 6 out of 10 Black women we came out when it counted. He made sure to thank Georgia resident Ann Cooper who at 106 cast a decisive ballot [...]
