I had a commenter tell me that she had noticed marked disillusionment in the tenor of my posts and I didn’t really respond, but if you’re reading this, you’re more than correct. It’s hard being 25 years old and being an African American male who has a wider world view and broader understanding of, hmmm, […]
Read more "Asking The Hard Questions"First stated, what school doesn’t have a dress code somewhere on the books. I know my high school had one, that no one really enforced. My college, Dillard University, had one that they tried to enforce. They were having an issue, more so with young ladies who would come to the cafeteria on the weekends, […]
Read more "The Crossroads of Assimilation and Elitism: The Implementing of the new Morehouse Dress Code"Yes, for interested parties, I turned 25 today. That means I’m in a new age demographic and that hopefully means car insurance premiums will decrease. That being said, I was more than shocked as I rolled over this morning for the FIRST time and checked my Twitter updates that President Barack Obama received the Nobel […]
Read more "What A “Nobel” Birthday"I need to vent. Be aware, I’ve recently been watching Spike Lee Joints: “School Daze,” “Bamboozled,” and just this weekend “When The Levees Broke” which still had me fighting back tears. That being said, a few things I heard over the past week or so just made me angry and I just want to set […]
Read more "Dealing with Negro Nonsense and Barbershop Knowledge"Anyone who knows something about me knows that I don’t do video games. I’ve never owned a system–Playstation, no Game Cube, no Xbox and not even the old school Nintendo 64, SegaGenesis or anything like that. Now, don’t get it twisted, I will get on Mario Kart and whoop ass though, lol. But, the computer […]
Read more "It’s Not The People, It’s The System"These are two things that may have slipped under the collective radar. I even missed this first clip on some of my usual blogs. But granted I was out during the summer when my laptop decided to go on the fritz. So here it is and yes, he went there with it. After watching that […]
Read more "Some Things That Might Have Slipped Under The Radar…"So, school has started back and I’m trying to learn biblical Hebrew as a language that’s long be defunct. It’s so outdated that this type of Hebrew consists of an alphabet with no vowels. So the Masoretes came in between A.D. 500 and 1000 and created a “pointed text” in other words creating vowels, for […]
Read more "The Recession’s Racial Divide, Pt. II"Maybe I’ve been wrong about this whole President Barack Obama and his apparently passive aggressive response to the conservative rhetoric. We’ve been long discussing how Obama seems to be unaware of his critics, and in fact how the administration seems to actually concede to criticism (consider how the White House issued a quick change of […]

Read more "The Recession’s Racial Divide"The last seven days has been one of a news reporters–or bloggers–dream. From President Barack Obama’s speech to the school kids of America on their first day, to his health care speech with South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, to Kanye West acting a fool last night and Serena Williams meltdown. First, it wasn’t until last […]
