Just When You Thought A Same Sex Marriage Had Gotten Through By "Accident"!

I knew it was too good to be true and was waiting for the other shoe to drop. When the New York Post of all “newspapers” publishes a story you know they get the side eye after their President as primate debacle earlier this year.  They claimed to have an Exclusive! titled, “Wedding Crashers” on [...]

Calm Heads Must Prevail When Reacting To Iran’s Election

I really wanted to title this post “Before We Show Our *sses Making Assumptions” but I think you get the point. We need to be careful how we discuss and engage North Korea as well. We had better think carefully about how easily we are manipulated by the United States corporate media. Also do I [...]

You’re So Lame Award of Shame: Cornel West Meet Uncle Ruckus

John White Went to Prison But (Some) White Men Are the Real Menace to Society

The right-wing white male domestic terrorists have received their marching orders and are out to restore some “post-racial” order by command of the KKK version 2009, aka the Republican Party. Not even their lap dog Michael Steele can attempt to dodge this. They must slowly chip away at all the “hope” this new President brings [...]

4 Little Girls + Dr. Tiller: 2 Murderous Acts At Churches

Last week I was having a conversation with someone about Katrina and how despite our having a Black President many people are still unable to return to New Orleans. The Obama administration has plans to offer mobile homes to some of those still displaced that are to be sans the chemicals that have made many [...]

I’m Not Sure If Empowerment Is the Real Goal For Some Black Bloggers

So if you read a variety of blogs like I do you may start to notice certain trends. Some of the same readers of one blog may also read another with varying levels of interest. Sometimes blog hosts may link to each other or mention something they’ve read or commented on. Often some will read [...]
