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 above graph was sobering for a Saturday morning when I first saw the story as I opened up my computer and saw the premier news story on Sen. Barack Obama that was entitled “Racial views steer some white Dems away from Obama” from the AP/Yahoo News source. Of course, white Republicans were a […]
Read more "We Have Work To Do: Only 24% of Whites View Blacks as Friendly"Either a) I’m really getting caught up with other blog posts or b) I’m just getting lazy because this blogging while in grad school thing isn’t easy. I’m going with b) Yeah, I’m somewhat stealing a story, but it’s more a theme that I happened upon while making a comment on another blog. The Dallas […]
Read more "The Uppity Negro Manifesto: A Black Nationalist Response to Post-Racial Fatigue"Here’s another guest post in which I can rest, kick my feet back relax and not rack my brain for a few days and focus on frigging CHURCH HISTORY **pulling hair out just thinking about it** on my Saturday mornings. So here’s Uppity Friend and her latest installment. So I guess you know already know […]
Read more "UNN Guest Post: Why Paying Kids to Perform Well in School is a Dumb Idea"Hmmm, round about January 3rd, at about 10 o’clock Central Time, I did hear a symphony. It wasn’t the same symphony that Keith Olbermann was talking about following Sen. Barack “I Shoot Threes Only” Obama acceptance speech, but it was from the same man nonetheless. I’ve already written how much that speech sent me over […]
Read more "They Got The Word! I’ll Be At The Great Coronation"“They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set to high. They said this country was too divided….but at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn’t do…” Personally, Democratic Nominee Senator Barack Obama’s victory speech on January 3rd following the Iowa caucuses was my favorite. It […]
Read more "August 28th"I’ll admit that I’ve kind of been baffled by gender roles. Like, I never understood why I couldn’t hit girls, especially if she hit me first. I never understood why a man was supposed to walk on the street side with a woman–especially when it seemed Mama Uppity frustratingly was the only woman who seemed […]
Read more "Put Your Hat Back On!"Raving Black Lunatic wrote a while back about swagger in regards to Barack Obama and this whole idea of him coming off as overconfident, and arrogant and dare I say–uppity. But, I debated after hearing yesterday’s sermon from Rev. Otis Moss III as to whether or not I wanted to write about swagger, and I […]
Read more "Don’t Hate on My Swagger"Okay, now everyone is aware of the “wink” seen ’round the world. If not then I’m suggesting you may be living under a rock if you haven’t heard about the picture above. But, if that wasn’t enough, there’s another picture that surfaced from the Spanish women’s basketball team and the Spanish tennis team. And […]
Read more "Should Blacks Take a Lesson From the Chinese?"Actually, it was totally laughable earlier the last seven days. On August 8th, Detroit’s mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick officially shamed much of Black America when he got arrested. The Black blogosphere went crazy and we all started quoting random facts about blacks living in cities, mentioning the Chocolate Cities of Washington, D.C., Cleveland, Gary, Ind., Chicago […]
Read more "Are We Being Fair to Kwame Kilpatrick?"I was flipping channels after typing up another blog, which has yet to be revealed and is kept in a secret location, I flipped past the Golf Channel–and I saw a black person. This black person in fact. Actually, what caught my eye was that in the interview he had on a bowtie and suspenders, […]
