Earlier this year, seven armed citizens took over a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon and caused a standoff with authorities that lasted for more than a month as part of their anti-government, pro-militia agenda. Now, they’ve all been acquitted for that crime. Ammon and Ryan Bundy and three of their accomplices were found not guilty […]

While football players have been protesting the National Anthem for months, the basketball season just started and it’s also getting a taste of the movement. But there’s a noticeable difference between the two sports. The NBA appears to be doing all it can to prevent the movement from spreading. The latest evidence of the NBA […]

Variant covers for Invincible Iron Man have wound up on both ends of the spectrum in regards to public opinion. The bad side was visited just last week and resulted in a cover being cancelled after receiving backlash. But the good now comes in a gesture just as powerful. A recently revealed cover from Randy Green depicts […]

Donald Trump’s late night tweet storms directed towards anyone he happened to disagree with are coming back to bite him a couple weeks before the election. Not only did the New York Times take out a two-page ad listing everyone he’s been critical of during the election, but those same people are starting to speak out […]

Donald Glover’s long been waving his flag for black nerds. He even took time to break down his personal definition of what it means to be a nerd in his 2012 stand-up special, Weirdo.

I have also spoken about the difficulties many have had in resigning to voting for Hillary Clinton–who seems very untrustworthy (especially for African Americans) and often hostile to […]

Imagine how much more difficult it would be for Jim Caviezel and Taraji P. Henson to save people’s lives in Person of Interest if the system they used was prone to racial profiling. They’d  have an even harder time trying to figure out if they’re helping a potential victim or tracking a potential criminal. Luckily, that’s […]

I felt my heart sink when Kalief Browder’s name suddenly began trending on Twitter in June of last year. Just a couple years older than I am, Browder ended his life after suffering through three years of being beaten and held in solitary confinement in a Rikers Island prison for a crime he did not […]

“This apology is a symptom of a social disease seen from football rosters in Ohio to busses in New Delhi. With outbreaks of slut shaming and victim blaming mentalities and no cure in sight under this current system of patriarchy.” As a survivor, this video was difficult to watch. I imagine it would be hard for […]

Police have a long history of conflict with communities of color for a very, very long time. It’s not too much of a stretch to assume that this checkered past plays a role in today’s strained relationship between the two. Terrence Cunningham, president of the International Assn. of Chiefs of Police, took the opportunity to apologize.
