“How many times do we expect Black people to build our country?” asked Samantha Bee on the episode of Full Frontal following the presidential election. I have asked this question many times and while I appreciate these sorts of sentiments from “woke” White comedians on a national level, at this point I don’t know that […]

Donald Trump is officially president-elect of the United States. This news has brought millions into a place of fear and anxiety as they attempt to come to terms with how it happened. You’re not alone. But, while we can, let’s take a moment to point out some good things that actually came out of last […]

Understandably, many of us feel that we’re stuck between a rock that intends to crush us and […]

Due to the importance of transparency in government work, it is essential that we talk about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and the new emails that might surface from this investigation. What I should say about them, however, is unclear, as these new emails may not have anything at all to do […]
