An anti-Obama ad, currently running on BET in Cleveland, OH, and Seattle, WA presumably expresses some black people’s qualms with the POTUS. Will this ad prove effective in the battleground state of Ohio? What do you think of the claims in the ad?
I’d like to momentarily interrupt my stellar rants about election season (/sarcasm) to briefly address white folks. I understand that this is not my typical style nor is this a venue where I might expect to attract white folks who need to read the forthcoming message, but hey, election fatigue is election fatigue. Halloween is […]
Prosecutors asserted that Chief Keef belongs in jail, or at the very least house arrest, during a juvenile court hearing yesterday. They site his failure to procure a GED by a court ordered deadline, as well as a widely-criticized interview with Pitchfork Media at a gun range.

Daniel Johnson is currently running for an open congressional seat in Michigan. He reportedly even has ties to Rep. Ron Paul. His platform: environmental protection and white supremacy. Why are people like this still given the time of day in this country?
Very few athletes, or any person in the public eye for that matter, handle themselves with the amount of humility and class that Derrick Rose does. And I for one am so glad that he can be someone who kids look up to. More kids will believe that they can make it. Because he did.
The company which made the Kenya doll has announced that the doll will be back on shelves in November, just in time for the holiday season. Are you excited for the return of the Kenya doll? Will you be buying one?
Last night’s debate probably says more about the lazy analytical temperament of the American media and public than it does about either of the two candidates. For those of you who demanded to see a more “aggressive” Obama, Keith Boykin has an interesting article offering several reasons why a more impassioned Obama would’ve been strategically superfluous so […]
