I mentioned it earlier this month in a blog, but I didn’t devote a whole blog to it, but, um, yeah, I really don’t have words to describe my ultimate disgust with the King Center’s choice to pick Rick Warren as the MLK day speaker. Perhaps I’ll buy the claim that theologically Rick Warren […]
Read more "I Have No Words…For the King Committee Picking Rick Warren for MLK Day Speaker"The bellwether for the dismal position that the U.S. Department of Justice had found themselves in presented itself in the attempted suicide of Mychal Bell at the end of last year. If that name rings a bell, it should because his name was pre-eminent in the Jena 6. Mychal Bell says he felt pressure to […]
Read more "Eric Holder’s Uphill Battle"1. Ms. Marquadt. A cat jumping off the Empire State Building. It’s official, I’m not a friend of Kara right about now. She has totally thrown it off. But, she sounded a hawwwwt mess. A cat sitting under a rocking chair. Hmm…she got a booty. What, why did her family and friends act like she […]
Read more "UNN Live Blogging of American Idol–Pt. 2 (First Hour Only)"….hopefully Lady Michelle Obama and her husband will have made history by being the first black woman to legally and morally sleep in the same bed as the President of the United States of America. That being said, I think Black America’s honeymoon will be over. Frankly, this blog is a response to the number […]
Read more "This Time Next Week…"I just realised that I could do this live blog…. In the spirit of all that doesn’t matter to life and all that has no intrinsic value; in the spirit of that which is for nothing more than entertainment value, I will stupidly live blog this. 1. Who the hell was this Twann guy. […]
Read more "UNN Live Blog of American Idol (for the first hour only, I have other stuff to do)"Since I’m on this whole Chicago politicking bend, might as well tell the whole story. Most people who know about Chicago politics, or who have lived here for some period (or seen the “How Weather Changed History” episode where they covered it) know about how Chicago elected their first female as mayor by the name […]
Read more "Is it Prejudiced, Preferential Treatment or Racism: Snow Removal in Chicago (or lack thereof)"I must say that I am more than disappointed and mildly disgusted at how this gubernatorial and senatorial showdown has portrayed the venerated Roland Burris. This isn’t a long post, because I don’t have much to say about it, but on this one, I’m asking for other black folks who do not live in the […]
Read more "Round One to U.S. Senate; Roland Burris Denied Access to Senate Swearing In Ceremony"Yeah, I’ve noticed that I’ve not really been gifted with great titles and tag lines, oh well. This is for those that thought that I was actually going to let President-elect Barack Obama’s announcement of Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren go unnoticed, then this post is for you. Flat out, it was a bad decision […]
Read more "Being in the Middle Sucks"Following this past presidential election season, I realised and further identified myself as a proponent of Democratic Socialism. Yes, much of what now President-elect Barack Obama advocated in his economic plan does amount to income redistribution. Such ideology goes against the laissez-faire governmental leanings of many conservatives and the popular notion of capitalism. I believe […]
Read more "When America Capitalizes on America"Faith has always been that elusive “unseen” component of the Christian movement. It has this supernatural quality that makes Christianity possible. Faith is the unspoken hope that makes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ a reality and makes Scientology look as stupid as Santa Claus to grown people about over the age or […]
