Every year millions of people reflect on all the poor choices they made in the previous 365 days and vow never to repeat them again. In some cases, the old habits are completely erased, but for most folks the efforts are as futile as Lindsey Lohan staying out of trouble. I’ve never been a fan […]

The funniest thing to me about the Tea Party’s response to my video,”What if the Tea Party was Black?“, is their insistent claim that the tea party isn’t racist, while at the same time making blatantly racist comments about me or black people in general. Case in point, some blogger calling himself “Angry White Dude” […]

I’ve known my daddy to leave town and stay overnight for three events: 1. His yearly trips to Las Vegas, NV, 2. My sister’s wedding, and 3. A Rick James concert in Indianapolis.  As my father recalls, I was in utero when he and my mom took that 2-hour drive south for the Rick James […]

This past Sunday the world witnessed one of the greatest comebacks ever in the history of professional football. I know I have the tendency to hyperbolize athletic events, but this was one for the ages. In just under 8 minutes Michael Vick sliced and diced the New York Giants defense to lead the Philadelphia Eagles […]

I opened my eyes and abandoned my nihilist reveries to learn that Christmas came early for many members of the LGBT community.  Last weekend, the Senate repealed “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” a policy that banned gays and lesbians from openly serving in the Armed Forces.  Established in 1993, DADT was a compromise by President Clinton, […]

So, the bed intruder video is the most popular YouTube video of 2010. To say the least, I am bothered by this because it shows how insensitive we are about violence against poor black women. Yeah, this is not a long blog, but I just want to go on record for saying this is problematic […]

I have never been one to shy away from conversations about race, stereotypes and the like. I look at each as a teaching moment. Not that I feel the need to explain anything about my race or culture to anyone but I am a firm believer in the idea that racism and prejudice stem from […]

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LVLLjZ9aY When Lebron James found out his mother and teammate were “seeing each other”, when the patriots smashed the bears last weekend, and when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift at the VMA/MTV awards show. What the common denominator is between all these instances ladies and gentleman is that they represent the breaking point. In everything this capacity for something […]

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iau-e6HfOg0&feature=related Good day niggaz, the non black niggaz that is. Though many black leaders push for the burial of the term, they have not done so on behalf of the other colonized races. A Black multi-cultural person will soon confront the taboo as a minority among members of another culture. This was the case for […]

Just 3 years ago, life seemed to be over for Michael Vick. The first round draft pick who dazzled crowds with his blazing speed and cannon arm seemingly reached the nadir of his life. When defensive ends blitzed Vick, his agility and uncanny vision usually helped him evade tackles and pick up huge chunks of […]

I saw the controversy over the Wiz Khalifa and Currensy song called Huey Newton, including the video response by Paul Scott of the Militant Mind Militia, and being that I know both Wiz and Paul I thought I should weigh in. I certainly understand why the conscious community would be upset with Wiz and Currensy […]

December 4th 1969. Officers raided Fred Hampton’s apartment, where he lay asleep (perhaps even drugged) in bed next to his pregnant girlfriend. All because of what he wanted and what he believed. Long before Fred Hampton’s meteoric rise, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was the target of a well executed smear campaign led by […]
