Pretty self-explanatory; these are the issues that deal with modern and popular culture that have nothing to really do with religion or the church
So, two seconds before I went to write the title of this blog post, it hit me to do a case study, from an Uppity Negro perspective of the hit show on Adult Swim entitled “The Boondocks” created by comic strip writer Aaron McGruder. Initially, I was just going to write about the previous episode […]
Read more "A Character Case Study of “The Boondocks”"This should be a short post, I don’t have much to say about it, but anyone that tries to attempt to racialize this incident needs to be arrested and punched in the face for sheer dumbassery. According to the video, that’s as clear as you can get, there was one single officer who was trying […]
Read more "Don’t Jaywalk In Seattle: You Can Be Punched in the Nose for It"Editors note: This is probably going to be one of my longer posts, maybe not, depends on how quickly I work it out. But if I go over my standard 1,500 characters so be it. So go get get the tea, coffee or print this bad boy out because I’m here until it’s done. A […]
Read more "Being Black and Dealing With Postcolonialism in a Postmodern World"The other week on a certain blog, another blogger had contributed a post that spoke to the growing trend secularism within the black community. This particular blogger had taken exception to the one and only Steve Harvey (although can I blame her) concerning a statement he made about black women choosing “a good black man.” […]
Read more "My Encounter With An Atheist, and others who suffer from the I’m The Only Enlightened One Syndrome"I remember sometime in college hearing the phrase “No homo” and it was a friend who was at Hampton University at the time, and I just took it as an East Coast term that I was no doubt sure to hear in the near future. And I was right, the phrase “No homo” has made […]
Read more "Pausing: The Homo-ness of “No Homo”"Hey, it’s a hot topic so I’m still writing about it. I know my cousin back in Chicago is probably tired of me writing about it, but hey, it’s what I do, I still love ya @ellafay! But, it did recently dawn on me and some other friends the other day that a lot of […]
Read more "Why Are Black Female Bloggers Single and Giving out Relationship Advice?"Since I’ve been graduating and without a television a LOT of news has happened since mid-April and here goes it with me starting in back chronological order: 1. Georgia’s Attorney General Thurbert Baker blocking the health care law suit Well, clearly GOP Georgia Gov. Sonny “Partly Cloudy” Perdue found a way to get around it, […]
Read more "Uppity Negro News Briefs"Without fail, the wantonly foolish of this country create and invent new reasons that make other countries that are not the United States look more and more appealing for relocation. As if the passing of the immigration reform law last week by Arizona was not enough, and the criticism from the White House of an […]
Read more "American 21st Century Tyranny: Arizona Immigration and other Ethnic Issues"So just recently Greece was yet another nation that is poised to declare it’s insolvency. I heard on NPR that Greece has a debt that is 115% of it’s GDP. That is to say that the Greek economy couldn’t even produce it’s way out of debt if it wanted to. Greece joins the rather short […]
Read more "Is the Experiment of Capitalism Over?"So busy really isn’t the word that I would use to say just how much work has been on my plate. I think the better word is preoccupied.
