Rican Weekend
06.08.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsIf you ask some folk what truly sets off the Summer they’ll tell you the Puerto Rican Day Parade. But unlike the many Puerto Ricans that will be out today (or are out already) there are some who try to avoid the parade at all costs.

Minorities Under Siege: The Art of the Super Bowl Commercial
02.07.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI, Too, Sing America
I, too, sing America
I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
