And, it’s a […]

On the cover of TIME Magazine’s special February edition is a faceless white man behind bars. At first glance, I assumed this was an issue about millionaires and billionaires who deserve jail time for getting over on society, but after a double take I saw that it is actually about wrongful convictions, celebrating 25 years […]

Kanye West’s actions as of late have been concerning, to say the least. First, he interrupted his own show to say that he would’ve voted for Donald Trump – if he voted at all. Then he cancelled the rest of his Saint Pablo tour dates after an odd performance where he only performed a couple […]

Remember when Kanye West said that he was running for president in 2020? Everyone had a laugh and and even made a hashtag out of it.

With Parker’s upcoming film, The Birth of A Nation, set up for an October release, whether or not to support it has become a deeply personal question many […]

We’ve covered Cam Newton extensively. More specifically, we’ve covered the racism that’s specifically targeted him as an outwardly confident black man on one of the world’s grandest stages. We’ve also looked at how that means that he can’t be too emotional because it may make the wrong people uncomfortable. Now we’re going to talk about […]

After Ferguson, MO residents took to the streets following Mike Brown’s fatal shooting at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson, police officers everywhere felt that they were being placed under a microscope. And with news of every instance of police gunning down (often unarmed) black civilians, that feeling only increased. Eventually, a belief formed that […]

So, it’s not like we know much about #B6 as so many members of the Beyhive have coined it, but we are here to compile a list of all that we do know. Are you ready?

It was only a couple of months ago that Melissa Harris-Perry was in the middle of a very public parting of ways with MSNBC, which had been the home for her weekend broadcast for years.

The use of Native American imagery in sports has been debated for quite a while. The Cleveland Indians, Chicago Blackhawks, Fighting Illini and the Washington Redskins, especially, have been at the center of a discussion about what should be allowed in sports for the sake of legacy and tradition. ESPN’s Bomani Jones just added fuel […]
