So, I have a friend who’s going through the similarly titled situation.  Both her and the man have decided to stay friends because he’s in the middle of a divorce and both of them are under 30. What’s your advice for her?

Jesse and Al or Al and Jesse

Posted: February 22, 2010 by the uppity negro in Uncategorized

This should be easy. If you’ve read my blog regularly, you know how I feel: for the most part I’m pro Jesse and Al. Perhaps Jesse does have a bit of a more “tainted” past if you want to call it that.  But, I still personally believe that Jesse has always publicly said what was [...]

Happy Christmas

Posted: December 25, 2009 by the uppity negro in Uncategorized

Hopefully you’re Christmas is going better than mine. My laptop is in the shop and you know that’s my first love, I’m broke, Chicago is in the middle of an ice storm and soon to be snowstorm and who knows what the family is going to be on tomorrow when and if they show up.  [...]

The Best Is Yet To Come?

Posted: September 28, 2009 by the uppity negro in Uncategorized

Some say the best is yet to come while some say the best is right now living the present.  Whatever the case may be, I’m a bit swamped right now and it’s not midterms yet. Most already know how anxious I’ve been going into this year and most of the anxieties haven’t subsided a whole [...]

  Clearly I used that post title for shock value. I’m actually writing this on the day of the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, but I refuse to post as soon as I’m done with this simply because I think there are more pressing issues to deal with in life. I received a [...]

Headed Back South

Posted: May 31, 2009 by the uppity negro in Uncategorized

I didn’t hype this move up quite as much as I did last summer’s move to Washington, D.C., well, the greatness of Montgomery Country (MoCo), Maryland, but for the balance of the summer I’m headed to Jacksonville, Florida. Yes, DUVAL County. Home to this: Lil’ Duval. Right. Aside from who else, Reggie Bush and Laveranues [...]

Happy Retirement

Posted: May 30, 2009 by the uppity negro in Uncategorized

Today is a mixture of partying and packing on my behalf.  Today is my dad’s retirement party after 39 FULL years and then some of producing labor on behalf of this country after his last day of work yesterday where they threw him a party.  I joked the people just wanted to throw a party [...]

Uppity Negro Does a Guest Post

I did a Guest Post spot over at AverageBro.com for all interested parties.  Journey on over there with the thought in your mind “When Does Gangsta Boo Have To Go?” Keep it uppity and keep it truthfully radical, JLL

I remember watching George Bush walk out of St. John’s Church on January 20, 2001 on the slightly rainy inauguration day that year, and I remember at 16 wondering what it would be like to see a black man as a president having to attend a white church service.  I imagined that he’d be going [...]
