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
This has been an age old question I’ve always wanted to know concerning women and their relationships with married men: why do mistresses always think that they are the number lady in the lives of the men they deal with? Seriously, what situation does anyone know of where the man treats the mistress like a […]
Read more "To All My Single Ladies"If you want to view this an apology, by all means do so, but even I’ll admit it’s going to be a half-hearted one. I talked over the whole Michael Jackson death with my friend on Sunday afternoon and I was telling him how I felt and what I had written on my blog. We […]
Read more "An Almost Apology….from the Uppity Negro"So, we just got word that television personality Billy Mays was found dead at his home in Tampa, Florida. And of course the blogs and the text messages, and Facebook and Twitter status messages and updates are decrying the deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and are now adding Billy Mays to the […]
Read more "Is One Death Greater Than The Other?"Given my current line of work, I interact often with youth. Last week was definitely the case seeing as how I worked in the morning with a bunch of nine and ten year olds and in the evening I worked heavily with a middle school/junior high school bunch of school aged children. Thank God I […]
Read more "Beware The Spirit Killers: Bridging the Gap Between The Elders and the Joshua Generation"I know lifting the phrase “to be or not to be” from Shakespeare and inserting one’s own word is highly clichéd, but go with me on this one. Much of our image signifies who we are. Or rather, as I learned in one of my classes, it signifies who we be. We are human beings, […]
Read more "To Bling or Not To Bling"I’ve been being rude for this year and a half I’ve had this blog. I’ve only met you meet the uppity Negro and have neglected to fully introduce you all to the other two. I disagreed with some of Sigmund Freud’s writings when I read his main book back in high school for this class at […]
Read more "It’s Time To Meet All Three of Us"I think I’m squarely identifying myself as a Christian Universalist. I am convinced that the basic tenets of Christianity provide a framework with which all can be reconciled back to the Deity in some form or fashion. I’m sure most would disagree with this thought process, but I fully believe that all go to “heaven” […]
Read more "This Is Why Folks Don’t Take Church Seriously Pt. III: Recreational Preaching"Okay, first things first. I just arrived back from Atlanta, Georgia where I finished the semester with a friggin B-average. Aint figured that one out yet. I mean, I’ve dealt with crazy professors, but I had one that handed out grades before we took our finals. She gave everyone in the class a B+ and […]
Read more "A Lot Going On"Circulating around the internet since late April has been this town hall speech that the 10th president of Morehouse College, Robert Michael Franklin, delivered addressing the “Renaissance Men of Morehouse.” He assumed the position while I was here in Atlanta after the esteemed President Walter Massey stepped down from the position. Franklin entered the position […]
Read more "An Uppity Negro Response to Robert M. Franklin’s “The Soul of Morehouse and the Future of the Mystique”"I guess next time I do a guest blog over at AverageBro I should ask for at least a cubicle in the office so I don’t have to worry about schlepping a whole buncha stuff over each time, lol. No, seriously, all jokes aside, I breached an interesting topic over there and I wasn’t sure […]
