A Challenge to the Black Blogosphere; When the Right Becomes Wrong
Posted: November 24, 2008 by the uppity negro in Random Thoughts from an Uppity Negro, Religion, The Color LineFor my faithful readers, you all know that I’ve been on my anti-religion kick lately. Or rather, my “let’s reshape religion as we know it” kick. I went out with Soul Jonz for lunch today, me and him talked about some of the challenges of the Black Blogosphere. One of the main challenges he quipped [...]
Should The Bible Be Taken Literally?
Posted: November 22, 2008 by the uppity negro in Church and Society, ReligionOkay, I’m sitting in class checking my email and I go on Yahoo of course, and we all know my deconstructionist approach to the biblical text, so of course this following story leapt out at me.

An Uppity Update
Posted: November 18, 2008 by the uppity negro in Random Thoughts from an Uppity NegroAlright, plain and simple–school’s kickin’ my @$$, and blogging is at the bottom of my to do list right about now.

UNN Fully Welcomes the 43rd Elected President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama
Posted: November 5, 2008 by the uppity negro in UncategorizedYeah, I know I wrote 43rd elected president. Bush was selected the first time which in a weird way to me doesn’t count. He at least got elected the second time. Anywhoooooo…. Yes, per my last live blog note, I was really a wreck last night at about 11:00PM EST as were most black people [...]
Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What are these stones?’ then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land’; for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until [...]
