I guess I’ll continue this vein of music with the following clip. For those of you at work, bust out the headphones, the language on here is rough: Bats turned me on this one, (and yes for all things hip hop, which I am definitely not check out HipHopDX or his blog on my blogroll) […]
Read more "In honor of Black Music Month: Soulja Boy Tell’em’s Beef with Ice-T"The only thing worse than white innocence is white ignorance. A quick Google search didn’t show that the aforementioned quote is a particularly famous one, so I’m personally attributing it to my friend over at Soul Jonz. That quote was the result of title statement that my host mother told me. We were all sitting […]
Read more "So Hip Hop is from the prison culture? I missed the memo"Honestly, I don’t know what to be more torn up about– The death of the great NBC legend from Meet the Press, Tim Russert or the fact that somehow R. Kelly was accquited. Truth be told, I’mmore torn up about two other things, one of which was the fact that I saw Facebook status messages […]
Read more "A Sorrowful Day"Well, where I’m staying at this summer, somehow has fried my wireless connection with their particular router–go figure, so I’m relegated to staying late at my job and using the company’s computer. Hmmmm…wonder what they would say if they decided to do a History check and see name’s like “uppity negro” “averagebro” “black snob” and […]
Read more "An Uppity Update"According to CNN, Obama lost Kentucky’s Democratic Primary by a 35% point spread. He subsequently lost West Virginia’s primary by a 41% point spread. Obama, in my opinion has almost come off coy about this situation, and doing, I guess, what’s politically the best thing for him to do. He’s got the numbers of delegates, […]
Read more "An American Problem; not Obama’s"Now this is interesting. My colleague from Dillard University had mentioned this in one of his status messages, and me and him had had some back and forths in the past concerning one from the College of Cardinals of Blackness Al Sharpton (speaking of which, who’s the Pope of Blackness? We need to meet and then keep […]

I mean, gas prices are ridiculous and the big story on the morning and afternoon news in Chicago is that we now have the dubious place of being first—yes, we have the highest average gas prices in the country at $4.07 for regular gas. WTF?!?!?! So that means when […]
Read more "I would be in Chicago right now…Gas prices are RIDICULOUS!"So, am I the only one who WASN’T that offended by the Curious George cariacature of Barack Obama? Granted, in this day and age, it amounts to a VERY tasteless joke, but I failed to see the racism in all of it. If that’s the case then we need to round up all the political cartoonists […]
Read more "Curious George endorses Obama"Actually, this is a response to The Black Snob’s post on “The Color Game” that spoke about the duality of blackness in regards to skin color. Day after day we see more and more instances of racism and racialized prejudices, for every one Barack Obama or for every one Oprah Winfrey. And I remember […]
Read more "A Response to ‘The Color Game’: Is Black beautiful or pretty?"No, I’m not COGIC for all those who recognise that as part of the COGIC theme song, but I realized that I just was a part of something that Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reily, Lou Dobbs, Anderson Cooper, Campbell Brown and many others of the white church will understand.
