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!”"**SPOILER ALERT** Well, I liked the movie until we left and went out to eat. I guess that’s what happens when you go to the movie with a licensed and practicing psychologist. Aside from the baptismal scene of Tyler Perry’s latest break into Hollywood, I had really thought the movie was a good, borderline great […]
Read more "UNN Movie Review: This Movie ‘Preys’ Upon Old American Themes"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"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 […]
Read more "Calling It What It Is: Naming the Monster of White Privilege"I wrote back in April or something about “In Defense of the Black Church: America’s Chicken’s Are Coming Home to Roost” borrowing from the phrase made even more popular from Jeremiah Wright’s rousing sermon following the 9/11 attacks on the previous Tuesday. As I watched CNN do the story digging into Sarah “I’m still picking which […]
Read more "In Defense of The Church: The Need for a Public Theologian"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"Well, I just got word of this. First of all, yes, uppity is a racial term and for U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland from rural Coweta County in Georgia and I really don’t buy the argument that he’s never heard it as such. The man was born in 1950 in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m quite sure that […]
