Must have a lot on my mind, three posts in one night. I guess I’ve been missing these memo’s lately, like the one my host mother informed me about–you know the one where “hip hop come out of the prison culture” or that the neighborhood around Howard University is a bad neighborhood. So, per the […]
Read more "So Muslim is the New Black? Again I missed the memo"Yes, there is a theme that has been consistent in what I write, more so in my comments on other people’s blogs. Most times I offer anti-intelligence as the reasoning behind people and their actions. To drive the point home, it’s really their reactions. Those who try their best to engage in critical debate and […]
Read more "Philly Debrief Pt. II: Confronting Anti-Intelligence"I know AverageBro did a story about this and I figured I didn’t need to do a story about it, but today I saw today on CNN Headline News that some guy from Variety, who’s name I seem to be unable to recover from memory or from Google toss out this idea that TvOne’s decision […]
Read more "Unapologetic and Unashamed; TvOne’s Decision to solely air the DNC"I’ve recently added new blogs to my blogroll and I just want to draw your attention to them. They are Aunt Jemima’s Revenge, Jack and Jill Politics and Black Women, Blow The Trumpet. This is not to diminish the other’s on my blogroll, but I’ve added these three kind of back-to-back, and just wanted to […]
Read more "Check Out The New Adds"This is actually a topic I’ve been dying to write, but I figured that it would take some time and that I had a lot to write about it, so bear with me as I gather my thoughts about this particular subject. It was Summer 2006 and I was finishing up at Fisk University my […]
Read more "Philly Debrief: Why I’m a Black African American"First, lemme give a shoutout to Field Negro for talking so much about Philadelphia, so that when I spent this past week up there, I kind of had a different feel for what the city had to offer and what was going on socially, culturally and politically with the city. For those who haven’t been keeping […]
Read more "What I Missed This Week…"I’m going to be in Philadelphia all of next week. I hope everyone continues to leave comments, even though they won’t be shown because I have to moderate them. I’ll be back with you all come sometime the week of July 12th. Keep it uppity and keep it truthfully radical, JLL
Read more "An Uppity Update"Sooooo….. As I was driving to Creation Fest last week, I saw something I don’t see everyday. Yeah, one of them. And it was white to boot. I have very mixed feelings about lawn jockeys. I did a quick Wikipedia review, and my confusions were echoed there as well. The article was saying that essentially […]
Read more "Something You Don’t See Everyday: A White Lawn Jockey"The Uppity Negro Network, going against traditional Christian love and sympathy is mildly rejoicing at the death of former North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms. The following is from Not Southern Belle, but Southern Snob where she received the following top ten, only worthy to be reproduced yet again on UNN: 10. Strom Thurmond now has […]
Read more "I Have No Words….The Death of Jesse Helms"Well, wait, I was about to do a quick blog announcing the Hip Hop Vs. America that was showing again debating the sexes. It was hosted by Cousin Jeff last time, and they had the reincarnation of Frederick Douglass, Michael Eric Dyson on the show going against T.I. and Nelly and that episode garnered much respect […]
