Will the Perceived Threat of Limbaugh As NFL Owner Ignite Political Activism Amongst the Players?

Since Rush Limbaugh announced his intention to seek partial ownership of the St. Louis Rams certain players have publicly objected. As we know Limbaugh regularly says incendiary things on his radio show. He’s a highly paid spokesperson for the continued dominance of white male patriarchy. He’s not going anywhere anytime soon either. His perceived power [...]

Obama Disses Paterson: Beware the Negro In Sheep’s Clothing

So word on the street is there’s blood in the water. Obama wants New York Governor David Paterson to not seek reelection. Interesting. Some speculate it has to do with his bungling over appointing, er not appointing Caroline Kennedy to the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton. Hmm – who cares? The economy is still [...]

Jimmy Carter Says It’s the Racism – Obama Says Hold Up

“I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African American,” Carter said.

Well thanks a lot former president Jimmy Carter. Thanks for making perfect sense. Now look what you’ve done. Your one statement could [...]

Black Elites, the Kennedy Family, You & Me

I’ve wondered from time to time why it seems certain benevolent whites have often had more sympathy for the plight of blacks than other black people. Especially when it comes to the black elite. Perhaps hate is too strong a word to describe the standoffish attitude, but disdain or indifference could probably work equally as [...]

Top Ten Reasons Blacks Support(ed) An Obama Presidency – And Why We Need to Reevaluate Things

As I continue shedding old skin and reordering my thinking now that I’m outside the Matrix I find myself revisiting my support of Barack Obama. While I would still likely vote for him again I have to think of all the ways I can benefit from this alliance while measuring it for reciprocity. You can’t [...]

Black Men Trying to Escape Their Blackness Only Get But So Far

Whatever we run away from goes with us. If we are ashamed of ourselves we can’t hide that by mating or marrying someone of another race and not pass that onto future offspring. When we speak of black male abandonment of black women and children – typically African-American men – we must also not forget [...]

You’re So Lame Award Of Shame President Obama Bow & Scrape Edition

I can’t say I thought I’d be writing a post where I’d give President Obama the Dunce Cap but so be it. I put in my time, money and effort towards getting him elected AND I voted so I have earned the right to be critical.

First of all he decided to be publicly critical [...]

If the Only Victims Are Male & The Only Oppressors White, Where Does That Leave Black Women?

I know this post is sure to kick up the Black Male Protection Reflex in many people. So my advice is to take a Valium and go sit in the corner. The reason why all of this accountability talk is so threatening is because no one has been held accountable. Generations are simply repeating what [...]

Don’t Let Anyone Stop You From Getting Out of DBR-Ville!

Did you hear President Obama weigh in on the arrest of Henry Louis Gates last night? You know it had to be a big deal to get Obama to actually say something about race. “But I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge [...]

Toure: Trying to Pull A Perez Hilton & Failing

May 2011 — Audience Note: When I first wrote this post and referenced Perez, it was a nod to his ability to draw attention, but coincidentally after he got into a fight with a black person and unleashed his latent racism, the comparison takes on a deeper but slightly different implication. Ah well… ******* I [...]
