The kids are right in that freedom to offend is part of our democracy.  But no other ethnic group ever concluded that terrible behavior was a version of ethnic authenticity.  That is a black American innovation in cultural imbecility. –Stanley Crouch, Daily News 2010 When America Idol’s General Larry Platt “Pants on the Ground” gained […]

Good morning, and congratulations to the class of 2010.  I know you’re wondering what inspiring words of wisdom I might impart on to a new generation of graduates.  Well, frankly, I have none, which is probably why my commencement address is coming to you via this blog and not as you sporadically doze your way […]

Despite Harriet Beecher Stowe’s best intentions, her character Uncle Tom has become a pejorative term aimed at black American’s accused of selling out to white folks. In the novel, he was supposed to be a good man, a Christian man, but it was Christianity that led him to, even under questionable conditions (say slavery), continue […]

“If I’m in yo city, I’m signing them tig-o-bitties.” –Nicki Minaj, 2010 When Kanye called for a sort of moratorium on gay-bashing he was simply talking about blatant disregard (i.e. calling a man a “bitch” or a “faggot.”) What he wasn’t doing is starting a revolution in hip hop to love thy neighbor as his […]

As a sports fan, this is my favorite time of year. PGA and MLB are starting to hit a stride, teams are making moves to prepare for NFL season, Lawrence Taylor is in trouble with the law…again, NHL Playoffs are starting to heat up, it’s almost time for the 2nd of the Tennis Grand Slam […]

I’ll be honest; I was not concerned with the immorality of Arizona’s SB 1070 before protests began popping up nationally and what was a state issue took a national audience.  Groups of concerned citizens have started to call for boycotts of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks. Protesters have followed the Diamondbacks to Colorado and even Chicago. […]

So anyone keeping up with the NBA playoffs should realize that this is the year that the Cavs are going to take the ship. They will do this because of three reason. Reason #1: Shaq. Reason#2: Jamison. Reason #3: Lebron (who is a back to back MVP). Sorry to bring my sports bias to the […]

I’ve grown suspicious of Sandra Bullock.  And by “suspicious” I mean she’s annoying the fuck out of me.  Inspired by such pestilence, I’m thinking of starting a Youtube show called Summer M.’s Most Wanted wherein I become internet famous by videotaping myself hating on celebrities who do things I find aggravating–like adopting black babies and […]

So, that we are crystal clear I do not run behind black men. I do not beg them to spend time with me. I am not desperate for their attention, money, or third arm. I am so tired of Nightline, CNN, ABC, and yes the great matriarch himself, Tyler Perry, telling me that I am […]

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hVp47f5YZg Imagine walking in downtown Chicago or on any main avenue in a well-populated city. A black women (that is not noticed on an average day) is walking down that street and she takes her shoes off directly in front of you, and tosses them to the side. Now you, the curious onlooker might think […]

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwEOigT2GWM I really love this Huggies’ commercial because it shows a little girl professing she’s a big kid because she knows how to wear pull-ups which is the first step toward wearing big girl panties drawls. [Song in the tune of the Huggies’ commercial] So, she’s a big girl now. At this very moment, I […]

Today I heard an advertisement on a Chicago radio station. It started off with a heavy bass rhythm in the background, and continued into a full beat that sounded oddly familiar—like it was the new Lil Wayne track of the week. (It seem like he comes out with a new song every other day.) But […]
