Can I Get An Economist’s Assessment?

Somebody please explain to me why all of these businesses and multinational corporations are failing? They’re either getting gov’t cheddar once, twice and sometimes three times even. Or they’re filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. You know thanks to our lawmakers working against our interests we can’t even file for personal bankruptcy except in the rarest [...]

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 come around? [...]

Barack & Michelle Come to Washington

Don’t they making a dashing pair?

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 Michelle Obama will utilize [...]

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 Obama train [...]

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 this topic [...]

The Real Affirmative Action Candidate

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) out in 4 [...]

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 for [...]

There’s Nothing Quite Like a Fair Weather Friend

I am continuing my theme of all the Black people who are acting like they were in the tank for Obama all along – except (when) they weren’t! Everybody loves a winner!! I’ll keep adding more names and videos as they get posted. Rejoice now (Johnny Come Lately supporters) but if I were Obama I’d offer [...]

They All Feel Safe To Come Out Now

Yeah, I know it’s a new day and all and we’re going to come together and be one. I also know that as I’m breathing this air certain Rethug pundits are regrouping for their next coordinated attack. But we see you!! Now there’s a lot of Black people that were and will continue toting water for [...]

Introducing Your Next First Lady

Michelle Robinson Obama!!!!

I have no words. A Black First Lady. A Black First Family. So many never thought they’d see the day. Some people can’t deal with it. Well……you’re gonna get used to it. Eventually they may come around…or not. In the words of our Senator from New York: “Screw ‘Em.”

You are free to leave the [...]
