Every female with a short skirt and big earrings is a hoe. Everyone who lives in the projects is poor. All black [...]

It’s funny what people consider advertising these days. As I was reading an article on a London News site I came across the advertisement pictured above.

Londoners don’t like the new 2012 Summer Olympics and rightfully so. As the olympic committee tries to appeal to a younger audience they have disappointed many in the UK.

“You know what’s wrong with America?,” The cab driver asked me. I wasn’t too sure on how to respond. As I know there is plenty wrong with America. I could have started with immigrants and the issues with the US Border Patrol. I could have gone as far as telling him about the outdated education [...]

By Dan-Sean Mankind at 2 June, 2007, 7:15 am
I have different views on the “N” word. No, I am not referring to the word “Nigga.” I’m speaking of the word “NIGGER.” When I hear the word spoken from the mouth of a Caucasian male or female I can sort of understand the way my ancestors felt having to endure being discriminated against because [...]
