Not playing in it. Howard, […]

By Jordie Davies This holiday season, many of us will return home to our families, who, even though they love us very much and we love them, may hold different political beliefs. It won’t be easy. The current political moment is an especially tough one if you or your loved ones voted for different presidential […]

By Ari Colston-Johnson To many, the Black Church calls to mind horror stories of cisheteropatriarchy and theologies shaped by colonialism, white supremacy, and respectability politics.

Dear Tiger Woods, Welcome back, sir! We have missed you. Your re-emergence will undoubtedly help the multiracials get their swagger back, and just in time for the 2010 census! (How many boxes do you check, Tiger?) 2009 was definitely a bummer for the American mixed-race, but now, with BHO passing health care reform and your […]

The Undefeated recently commissioned a study from Morgan State University’s School of Global Journalism & Communication entitled “Beating Opponents, Battling Belittlement: How African-American Female Athletes Use Community to Navigate Negative Images.” The study examines Black women’s participation in basketball, track and field, tennis, golf, and swimming, looking at cultural factors that may get in the […]

SPOILERS AHEAD! Don’t @ me. Over the weekend, Jordan Peele’s thriller Get Out scared audiences all over the nation with that age old American horror: anti-Black racism. The premise is simple enough: a white girl, Rose, brings home her Black boyfriend, Chris, to meet her parents in a wealthy, white suburb in upstate New York.
