This is such B.S. Bob Johnson tried to paint Obama as being a druggie while Clinton was off fighting for black people. First, she was doing no such thing. Second, what’s up with that? It’s bad enough that he tried to use a black man w/drugs “in the neighborhood” stereotype, but then he tried to cover it up with some lame excuse that he was referring to Obama’s community service. Uhm…I might be an idiot, but I’m not a fool. Even an idiot knows better than...

I’m not in favor of these slavery apologies because I think they are pointless and condescending and only provide more ammunition for reparations movements, which I’m against as well. However, this foolishness must be exposed. As New Jersey prepares its “slavery apology” tour across the state, some local politicians aren’t really down. This one actually thinks we should be grateful for being enslaved. New Jersey weighs becoming first northern U.S. state to apologize...

What is the motive behind FOXNews exposing which black celebrities are and aren’t backing Obama? FOXNews.com – Obama: No Cash From Denzel, Spike, Motown, Despite Oprah Backing I guess if you think all blacks are (or should be) the same, it would be confusing as to why some would and wouldn’t support them. Especially after Midas Oprah endorsed him. If you think black people are different and can think on their own about who and what they send money to, it’s a pointless list....

I was praying for a Christmas gift like no other this year. I really feel like our country needs some real direction that none of the current presidential candidates offer. I’m talking about a real, “You know you recognize me” beat down with a cell phone kind of direction. I received that gift today when it was announced that former Atlanta Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is running for president via the Green Party. You realize now that the war is over. Under Cindy, all government...

I know. I know. It’s a waste of time to complain about anything that the self-designated shepherd for the devil says. It’s all about using hate and nastiness to get ratings and $$$. To his credit, he currently does it better than anyone, which is why Lucifer favors him so. I usually ignore him. After all, he’ll know what he did wrong when he gets to that little cubicle in hell one day. Besides, his decision to attack Hillary Clinton’s looks in such an obviously sexist, double-standard...

About a month ago I blogged about the Nobel Prize Winner DNA Scientist who got a hell of a lot of flak because he claimed DNA played a role in the superior intelligence of Europeans/whites over Africans/blacks. These kinds of revelations always spark nasty arguments by people who read too much into it or people who are so eager for something to legitimize their feelings of superiority. What I realized is that DNA means nothing; at least nothing that really matters. Everyone is capable of whatever...

It’s that time of year when everyone is buying turkey, the price of pork goes down and McDonalds offers its famous/infamous pork(ish) sandwich, the McRib. This is the third year in a row McDonalds has promoted the McRib Farewell Tour. McRib Farewell Tour 3. I’ll put it out there. I love the McRib. I know it doesn’t taste like any other pork product I’ve eaten. I know it’s probably pigeons or ferrets, but if they say its pork than I’ll believe I’m eating...

The media seems extremely intent on making something out of the current feud between Mitt Romney & Rudy Giuliani, as if its something more than the spats they’ve had since…well, every single day since they both entered the race. It seems a little forced, though. Or maybe I’m just surprised when the press covers anything the Republicans say or do that doesn’t include a mention of Hillary Clinton. ABC News: Rudy and Mitt’s Nasty Fight The Campaign Spot: Rudy To...

Julie Meyers was already on shaky ground in terms of her confirmation to the top Immigration post in the country due to her lack of actual experience in the area of immigration. Now….well, I wouldn’t get those new business cards printed yet. Costume flap imperils immigration post – Yahoo! News. “Myers, director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ran into trouble earlier this month after she and two other agency managers gave the “most original” costume award...

One of the many definitions of Irony is “the indirect presentation of a contradiction between an action or expression.” There might be a better word to describe the reaction to Mexico’s law on driver’s license in comparison to its criticisms of Americans who don’t want to allow illegal immigrants the right to have driver’s licenses. Hypocrisy just seems too easy a label. The question of whether to give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants has ignited...

So a lot of people are up in arms because they say that Darth Cheney went to a hunting lodge in upper New York that displayed a Confederate flag somewhere in the garage or somewhere. Cheney hunting trip under fire for Confederate flag – CNN.com. Someone tacked it onto a window. Very classy look BTW. Oh, did I say a lot of people? I meant Al Sharpton, but it’s the same because he speaks for all black people. I’m sure Cheney’s PR folks are shaking in their boots. Please. The...

The other day, I said I didn’t think it was necessary to get up in arms over Dr. Watson’s claims about racial intelligence because his proof just wasn’t strong enough to make it worth it. But a lot of people got up in arms over it anyway. There were shouting matches and some of his speeches were cancelled. He was also temporarily suspended from his post as Chancellor of the non-profit research group he works for. Now, probably because of the suspension, Dr. Jim Watson has apologized...

This guy won a Nobel prize? Can anyone get one of these things? Fury at DNA pioneer’s theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners – Independent Online Edition. “James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America’s leading scientific research institutions…he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that “equal powers of reason” were shared across racial groups...

President Bush has once again appointed a critic of birth control to head the family planning programs of the Department of Health & Human Services. Birth-Control Foe To Run Office on Family Planning – washingtonpost.com. “Susan Orr, most recently an associate commissioner in the Administration for Children and Families, was appointed Monday to be acting deputy assistant secretary for population affairs. She will oversee $283 million in annual grants to provide low-income families...

This will be the best holiday season ever. Imagine this group at the table sharing dried up turkey. Lynne Cheney says that, based on her genealogical trace of her family tree, her husband, Darth Cheney, is a cousin of Barack Obama. Senator Barry & VP Dick are related! Damn that miscegenation got us again! Lynne Cheney: VP and Obama are ‘cousins’ – USATODAY.com. Guess which one I think is the black sheep? I’m actually surprised she would even mention it, but I guess...

How can you turn away from this headline? Breitbart.com: Italian archbishop closes convent after nuns come to blows. Best headline of the year so far. Sisters Annamaria and Gianbattista, reportedly upset about their mother superior’s authoritarian ways, scratched her in the face and threw her to the ground at Santa Clara convent near Bari in an incident in July that was kept quiet until now. Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri tried to reconcile the nuns but finally decided in late August...

The decidedly right-leaning SCOTUS has only been at work a couple of hours and already set the stage by refusing to grant certiorari to two church-state cases and social conservative groups are not going to be pleased. High Court won’t hear two religion cases – Yahoo! News. One case was about religious organizations paying for worker’s birth control health insurance benefits. NY requires them to and various social service agencies said it violated their 1st amendment right to...

Once again, Bill O’Reilly showed himself to be….well, who we all thought he was; pretty arrogant and ignorant. I’m tempted to use the R-word, but you know how seriously I take that word (hence the annoying avatar). I’ve defended Billy more often than I’d like to admit. Despite himself, he’s just right sometimes. Just a few weeks ago, I defended him to all my liberal friends who called him racist for ranting about VA Tech inviting Nas to rap at their memorial concert....

My contribution to some of the ‘non-political’ blogging at TMV is this video, which has made me seriously question my vow to live a barren, childless existence that dies when I do. If this video doesn’t make you want to procreate, it should at least put a much-needed smile on your Monday face. I mean seriously, what sounds better than a baby laughing his ass off?

Why people are still reporting what Jesse Jackson has to say about anything is still a surprise to me, but I guess I should at least be happy they are printing this because it just reiterates what I’ve always said about him. Report: Jesse Jackson says Obama ‘acting like he’s white’ – USATODAY.com. He’s like Bill O’Reilly who decides that anyone who doesn’t agree with him is somehow of questionable character. Likewise Reverend Baby Daddy, as he has done...

Earlier today, the state of Tennessee executed a man via the electric chair. Yes, they electrocuted him. Tenn. executes man by electric chair – USATODAY.com. No sympathies for the animal. He murdered four children (3 his own, 1 not) in cold blood, and even though I am not a fan of the death penalty (because I think getting it wrong once is worse than getting it right 100 times) I’m not going to shed a tear for him. He’s one of those people my daddy would say “needed some...

By now, we all know that Senator Larry “I am so not gay” Craig has decided to reconsider his resignation from the Senate. He seems determined to believe that despite the fact that documented (on video & audio) instances of suspicion of his homosexual or bisexual behavior have been going on since 1982, he is being railroaded and can convince the world that he didn’t do what the cops are saying he did. Oh and I forgot, HE CONFESSED so there is no need for that “innocent...

This very ugly cartoon was drawn in response to Jacksonville police complaining that the local culture of not-snitching, reinforced by rap music is making it difficult for them to fight crime. It’s causing a big fuss. People are very upset with Jacksonville.com (FL Times-Union) for running it and the local NAACP got on the phones and forced the editorial editor to apologize for what they called “racist.” Jacksonville.com: Was ‘no-snitch’ cartoon racist? Editorial editor...

(I still can’t bring myself to post a real dog fighting pic because they are too gross. This will have to do). In his Washington Post article, Playing to Wrong Crowd, Mark Maske makes a good point about misplaced loyalties and the role it played in Michael Vick’s undoing. The choice of staying with “your boys” or lifting yourself up, is a choice that many black athletes have to make and too many are making the wrong one. It’s not exclusive to sports. It’s a choice...

The Michael Vick story isn’t a political one, but it relates to racial politics in that a tactic used by those who want to defend him is often used when discussing political and social issues within the black community and it is a tactic that prevents our community from being honest with each other and finding solutions to our problems; especially those problems most affecting black males. I was reluctant to blog about the whole affair because it’s just sick. Dog fighting is a felony...
