I really hate this piece of crap. Seriously, just looking at him almost makes me physically ill. He’s David Clarke. Since 2002 he’s been the Sheriff of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin. That’s it. He has no significant accomplishments other than that. Not to knock the work of Sheriffs, I’m just saying that he doesn’t stand…

Michelle vs. Melania
Meanwhile, In Trump’s America. . .
A female friend of mine got the above message on Facebook from this woman, Arlene Brock, whom my friend didn’t know. She posted it because she thought it was funny. She said she didn’t even know who Chris Barker is, she’s added a lot of people over the years. And she looked at the man’s…
People Are Whining About a WALKING DEAD T-Shirt Now?!?
Seriously?!? For f***s sake, is this really where we’re headed as a society?!? To recap: U.K. department chain Primark pulled from its stores a Walking Dead T-shirt (image below) that a customer complained was “racist” and “offensive.” The shirt featured Negan’s signature Lucille baseball bat and his victim-selecting rhyme “Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a…
PARIS JACKSON SAYS IT LOUD: SHE’S BLACK (AND SHE’S PROUD)
So, last week, Michael Jackson’s 18 year old daughter, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, gave her first full-length print interview, which was published in Rolling Stone magazine. In this very forthright interview, she opens up about many personal topics, include her past alcohol abuse, her suicide attempt, and many anecdotes about life with her father and how…
I’m glad that Lee O’Denat Is Dead (YEAH, I SAID IT!)
Lee “Q” O’Denat, the founder of the immensely popular site WorldStarHipHop.com, died Monday at 43, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to CNN. The cause of death has been listed as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The site, which O’Denat started in 2005, became a thriving aggregator. In a profile of its founder, the New…
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the White moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the White moderate, who is more devoted…
Eric Braeden’s “Racist” Tweet
I’ve written more than once about my love of the TV series character J.R. Ewing, and the actor who played him, Larry Hagman (R.I.P.). Well, when Dallas first went off the air 1991 I started watching daytime soaps, including The Young & The Restless. And lead character Victor Newman, who has been played by Eric…
Walking While Black
So here’s a story from my youth. One Saturday afternoon when I was 16 or 17, I was walking to a local park. Halfway there I walked past this police car that was parked at the sidewalk. The police officer (who just so happened to be a White male) who was in the car got…
The Hudlin Manifesto: 10 Things Black People Need To Do Now
Reginald Hudlin is a film and TV director, screenwriter, comic-book writer, and former President of Black Entertainment Television. He posted this on his website, and I thought it was worth linking to here: When I was a child, the poster listing the Black Panther’s 10-point program seemed to be everywhere. You may have disagreed with…
Why Are They Making a Remake of “ROOTS”?!?
One of the biggest TV events of all time is being reimagined for new audiences. “Roots,” the epic miniseries about an African-American slave and his descendants, had a staggering audience of over 100 million viewers back in 1977. Now A&E networks are remaking the miniseries, to air in 2016. A&E, Lifetime and History (formerly the…

Yes, Black People Should STOP Using “The N-Word” (aka Piers Morgan Is Right)
And, no, this time I’m not talking about “Nerd” I’m talking about Nigger. Or Nigga, depending on how you pronounce it. I’ve meant for awhile now to write a post about why I hate this word, and the way many Black people casually use it with each other, I just never got around to it.…
MY ANACONDA DON’T WANT NONE…
This is the video for Nicki Minaj’s latest single, Anaconda. It’s a huge hit. And I effing HATE it. I touched on this before when I wrote about The Latest Taylor Swift “Controversy” and thought I’d expand on my thoughts after reading some other posts about HERE and HERE, as well as seeing one of…
The Latest Taylor Swift “Controversy”
This is the music video for Taylor Swift’s latest single, “Shake It Off”, from her upcoming album 1989. This is her first official POP album. It’s an interesting career move for her, as this could go horribly wrong. She’s sold approximately a bajillion records as a Country artist, and Country music fans are intensely loyal.…
HAVING HIGH STANDARDS
Driving to work today I almost hit a young man. It wasn’t my fault, I had the right of way. I was driving down a street when the man had parked his car on the side of the street I was driving on and just got out of it and quickly ran across the street,…
SAGGIN = NIGGAS
This is a topic that I’ve meant to write about many times, but always put it off because I wasn’t sure I could write it without offending people. But you know what, to heck with it. If you get offended by anything that I’m about to say then you (yes, YOU) are part of the…
“BLACK” OR “AFRICAN-AMERICAN”?
Image taken from Black vs Black: Divided as “One” This is a topic that I thought about a couple of months ago, when one of my friends on Facebook was talking about some book that she says disparaged Black women, and another Black woman joined in the discussion to say that she preferred being called…
FEAR OF A WHITE RAPPER
I recently watched Ice T’s documentary Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap, and I found it to be a very informative and entertaining piece on hip-hop. I definitely recommend that you (yes, YOU) check it out, if you haven’t seen it. I was particularly interested when they featured Eminem. Ice T and the other…
BROS BEFORE HOS (TV sitcom pilot)
This is an actual pilot (not a parody) for a new TV show. Are you effing kidding me?!? That’s the best title they could come up with? And, yes, this show was created by Black people. Benjamin Cory Jones created and wrote it, Anthony Hemingway directed it, and Lena Waithe and Mark Taylor produced it.…
LEE O’DENAT: KING OF INTERNET COONERY
This is Lee O’Denat, the founder of the inexplicably popular website, World Star Hip-Hop (no, I will not link directly to it). I first read about him recently here: The Man Behind the Web’s Most Controversial Video Site. That website is disgusting, as it’s become known primarily for posting videos of Black people acting stupid…
REALITY SHOW RATCHETNESS
He say she say they all got beef, Draggin’ their business all over in the street, Bad thing is some of them think its cool, Talk show created the fool The above line is from the song Talk Show Created The Fool on Chuck D’s solo album Autobiography of Mistachuck. That was 1996, when one…
