  What A Weekend Brings…

  06.23.08 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  Because I have nothing else to blog about… I’m going to tell you very little about my weekend…
  Have you ever watched someone do something so incredible that you wanted to do it too? This past weekend me and an associate were watching a dance performance. Some dude looking over our shoulder was watching it too. [...]

  Shades of Brown, Shades of Racism

  04.13.08 | Permalink | 8 Comments

  One of my colleagues walked up on me the other day to seek my opinion on a matter, which has been disturbing him. He told me that he felt discriminated against because of the color of his skin. Actually, it wasn’t just the color of his skin that was the problem but his specific shade [...]

  Is It Racism?

  03.14.08 | Permalink | 11 Comments

  I received an e-mail this morning. The subject read: is it just me but does this 1st sentence read racism…
  I’m not sure if its just her or not but I didn’t read into it as being racist.
  Here is the article:

  Paterson once again defies conventional wisdom

  Spitzer & The New Sins: What I Learned Today!

  03.11.08 | Permalink | 12 Comments

  When I woke up this morning I learned two things. One, Elliot Spitzer paid a woman $4,300 for some ass. Two, the Vatican has added more sins to the list of deadly sins.
  I’ve read, watched, and heard all I need to hear about Elliot Spitzer and realize that he is a bone head. How goes [...]

  President of the Islamic States of America?

  02.26.08 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  I wonder about the minds of the people in the United States of America. Are Americans stuck in a state of 9/11 syndrome?
  I ask this question as there appears to be a smear campaign targeting Obama as a Muslim. If you’ve paid attention to the blogs most are saying that he plans on replacing the [...]

  Primary Day: Super Tuesday

  02.05.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  It is my right, not a privilege, to vote.
  I woke up this morning with the understanding that voting was going to take place today and I was going to be a part of the event. I made a phone call to a friend to inquire whether she would be voting or not.
  “Are you going to [...]

  Who Are You Voting For?

  01.18.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  After working the weekend, I’ve come to the conclusion that people are just as confused as I am as to who they may vote for president.
  Here I am having a discussion with the Orange Phoenix, a blogger of Urban Observation, and a couple of other people of color. Someone happens to bring up the topic [...]

  Politics and Sex

  01.09.08 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  I love the laughs that come out of politics. I think we can all use a boost after the emotional breakdown that Female Clinton experienced just the other day.
  If you’re familiar with the Obama Girls then you’ll enjoy this video.

  Another DJ Down (And Counting)

  05.15.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  The FCC is at it again or should I say ClearChannel. In the wake of the Don Imus firing every shock joke jock should be aware, that words can indeed harm you.
  Comedian Donnell Rawlings, best known as “Ashy Larry” of Chappelle’s Show fame, has been fired. Not for any “Nappy Headed Ho” comments. Not for [...]

  Are shock jocks going too far?

  05.14.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  In an ongoing effort to keep their audiences entertained, shock jocks are increasingly going too far with their words. We had Imus a few months back talking of Nappy Headed Hos, now we have Opie & Anthony talking about raping women.
  Opie and Anthony, best known for their 2002 “Sex in St. Patrick’s Cathedral” stunt, which [...]

  Don Imus, Gone: For Now?

  04.13.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  How do you lose two jobs in a matter of two weeks? Start calling a basketball team, “Nappy Headed Hos!”
  Don Imus was fired from not only MSNBC but also CBS (though I’m not sure what took them so long but these things happen). I know people who have gotten fired for less. So for this [...]

  Mayor Bloomberg Pays Parents To Care for Their Kids

  03.30.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  It isn’t enough to have children and want to see them make a difference in the world, keep your family name going or push them to do better than you’ve done in life, out of love of self and love for your child. No, it isn’t that simple anymore (was it ever?).
  Mayor Bloomberg has proposed [...]
