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"Well, this is most definitely a story I am troubled to pass on to my readers. I don’t think MSM has gotten hold of it, and clearly the Obama-Clinton surprise meeting here in Washington trumped this story. And seeing as how the Fr. Pfleger removal (or suspension) story didn’t break big news nationally, […]
Read more "Say It Aint So Rev…."I don’t know if it’s just me, or are other black church folk, especially preachers and musicians just on the edge of their seat when they hear Obama give a speech. Especially when we see him use such masterful use of parallel structure and especially when we hear his close: America, this is our moment. […]
Read more "The Black Preacher in me…"I’m frustrated. Really frustrated. Seven people were murdered out here in Washington over the weekend and there’s absolutely nothing that will probably be done about it. Furthermore, the majority of the people were probably black. I’m also frustrated that Sean Bell, another black man was killed, and nothing truly effective was nor probably will be done to […]
Read more "It’s Safe To Murder Negroes"Well, I’ve arrived in Gaithersburg, Maryland quite safely and I’ve started work and this is my first day off since I arrived late last Thursday, hence the dirth of my posts. I’m not quite sure if this is going to be normal for the summer, that is, me only posting perhaps once a week or […]
Read more "Another Uppity Update"I guess this is my next step. And hey–it’s okay to get the 25 and under perspective on some things. It’s a NEW DAY!!! Also, i’m headed off to Gaithersburg, Maryland (code word for I’ll be in the District or B’more every chance I get kickin’ it!) and I hope those of you all who […]
Read more "Another Uppity Update"corner of Fullerton and Ashland Aves. 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!"Well, this is a first. This is actually a post to address the concerns of one of the comments posted from my other post When White is right, even for Morehouse College. This comment brought up the issue as to whether or not a black student could be valedictorian at a traditionally white institution (TWI) […]
Read more "Institutional Racism: The Invisible Threat"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?"Well, its the end of the semester, I know what papers I have to finish before I head home this week, and I see the light at the end of the tunnel, so far I have two A’s and an A- (which transfers into 11.1 quality points, not 12, but its an A and I’ll take it). And […]
