The NFL Playoffs last weekend, which is to say that we’re mere weeks away from the  Super Bowl halftime performance by one Beyonce Giselle Knowles. Although I’m a huge football fan, I am admittedly looking forward to this performance almost as much as I am the game. It will in no way reached the stratosphere […]
This year McDonald’s will be open on Christmas day. “Starting with Thanksgiving, ensure your restaurants are open throughout the holidays,” reads the Nov. 8 memo from McDonald’s USA Chief Operating Officer Jim Johannesen. “Our largest holiday opportunity as a system is Christmas Day.” But at least that means thousands of minimum wage employees will get overtime pay, right? Wrong! McDonald’s […]
Megan Piphus, an upperclassman at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She’s using music, ventriloquism, and puppetry, to inspire youth to dream big and in color!
At just 18 years-old, Polite Stewart has already earned a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Southern University. Congrats to this talented young man! He’s just getting started!
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is yet again requesting that the President end the rather silly Thanksgiving tradition of turkey pardoning.

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 […]
Granted, the title of this article is a bit ambitious but it’s for good reason. On Monday the 22nd, the debut studio album for Kendrick Lamar good kid m.A.A.d city is set to drop. Since today is Friday the 19th, that means, yes I downloaded the leak. Smh. But not to fear, because I will […]
This year the News and world report university rankings came out and my facebook page filled up with the responses to the list of “top universities.” My University placed higher than it ever had before, 4th place, and made my classmates feel as though their academic rigor was finally being recognized. However, I didn’t and […]
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.
Arkansas Rep. Jon Hubbard: Slavery was a blessing in disguise for Black people, black students generally lack discipline and ambition, and integration resulted in white students dropping “to the level of black students.” Wow.
