Really, I’ve had it up to here. **points to my eyes** This political season has worn me OWT! Maybe it’s because I’m blogging and I’m looking at things different; or maybe it’s because this is the first time I’ve had 24 hour cable access–I don’t know. But what I do know is that barring anything […]
Read more "My Final Political Post Prior To November 5th"Earlier this week before I got swamped down with being here in school, I posted a blog called What’s Your Hood Status? that tackled the issue of the fine line between being uppity and being elitist and how does one balance that without being elitist. I had a simple answer: Let me drive a Dodge Charger […]
Read more "What’s Your ‘Hood Status? Pt. II"Especially since this summer, anyone who has been around me knows what two kinds of cars I want. First of all I drive a 2001 Chrysler Concorde right now. When I got down to ATL my friends, well Supreme Uppity nick named it “The Cruise Ship” or “The Boat.” I remembered when we got like 10 […]
Read more "What’s Your ‘Hood Status?"We’ve all heard of the blog “Stuff White People Like” (wow, they’re using the same WordPress format as I do and they’ve paid to get that “.wordpress” dropped from theirs, don’t worry about it, I’m gonna do it one of these days) and the answer to it “Stuff Black People Love” and it’s close cousin […]
Read more "Things (This) Uppity Negro Likes: Benjamin Bixby Clothing Line"After my internship this summer, I’m quite under the realisation that God is much bigger than how our own contexts usually confine God. God is equally in the 10:30 am coffee break between the 9:30 am and 11am service as God is in the shout or the contemporary version of the ring shout. I’ve struggled […]
Read more "Sunday Morning Coffee Break: Who Defines Christianity?"Yeah, this is very self-serving. This is my first birthday celebrated on the blog. Yup, the big ole TWO-FOUR. Look how far I’ve come. (see above pic.) October 15th right around the corner celebrates my one year of having this blog as well. And perhaps at this rate, the 200th blog post will be […]
Read more "Happy Birthday To Me!"I’m actually quite shocked no one has ever questioned me on my signature on the bottom of every post “Keep it uppity and keep it truthfully radical.” Naturally everyone knows where the “uppity” part comes from, but no one asked about the “truthfully radical” part. There was a clip, pulled from YouTube last time I […]
Read more "Keeping it Truthfully Radical"I think Sen. Barack Obama should follow that statement with a pithy “Just because yo’ @$$ aint prepared for the debates on Friday is NOT an excuse to ‘suspend’ your campaign.” I mean wow! Wow! I’ve never been one to subscribe to the much used moniker of “politricks” in my blogs, I’ve usually just chalked […]
Read more "UNN to Obama: Tell that Mental (Case) McCain “Hell Naw I aint suspending my campaign!”"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"This is prolly going to be a long post. Well, only because of the insert I’m adding, in full, so just letting you know. I had to really be careful that this blog didn’t turn into an all out hate site against Sarah “I’m going to ride this till the wheels fall off” Palin because […]
