So, the bed intruder video is the most popular YouTube video of 2010. To say the least, I am bothered by this because it shows how insensitive we are about violence against poor black women. Yeah, this is not a long blog, but I just want to go on record for saying this is problematic […]

I have never been one to shy away from conversations about race, stereotypes and the like. I look at each as a teaching moment. Not that I feel the need to explain anything about my race or culture to anyone but I am a firm believer in the idea that racism and prejudice stem from […]

To say the meteoric rise of Sarah Palin in the political world has been unexpected would be an understatement. Less than 10 years ago Palin was the Mayor of a small town in Alaska with a population of barely over 10,000 people. Before she was making a living off of political gaffes, she was winning […]

This year is largely no exception. But this is to be expected. And for music nerds, bitching about the Grammys is a begrudged annual pastime, like […]

Ever since Spike Lee and Michael Jordan graced my television screen and told me to “just do it” back in the early 90’s, I’ve been following sneaker culture. As a youngster I can vividly remember having verbal spats with my fellow peers at lunchtime about whether the Bo Jackson Nike Air Trainers made you run […]

You […]

I know, the only thing more ludicrous than Bush saying Kanye West calling him a racist was the worst moment of his presidency was that Kanye actually apologized! And I know that 2 years can seem like a long time but I think Dubya might have forgotten a few horrible moments, thankfully I haven’t. So I now present The Top Ten Real Worst Moments of the Bush Presidency:
