Tomorrow Is Malcolm X’s Birthday

And let’s be real, most of us don’t even realize it. Malcolm X wasn’t nor hasn’t been revered as MLK is. I mean, how dare this brotha say that if you hit him, he’s going to hit you back. White folks don’t tolerate shit like that. And it’s also funny that so many white folks [...]

Everybody Is Getting Married And Having Babies….

Except me. However, unlike my contemporaries who are also highly educated, single Black women in their late twenties, this doesn’t bother me. Perhaps that makes me weird. I’m not sure what category I’d be in. But when I hear about people being pregnant or see their newborn babies, I don’t have that longing feeling that [...]

When To Let Go

Are you one of those people who is determined to hold onto relationships? I mean regardless of how  unhealthy they may be for you? And I don’t just mean romantic relationships. Friendships. Family etc? Can you not let go? I know it’s hard. Particularly if you’re a sentimental individual.  I actually used to be one [...]

Black Republicans

It almost sounds like an oxymoron huh? Well, I used to be a Black Republican…I know..Yeah, I know. And I still have some conservative views but many of them have changed considerably. Have you ever noticed how vilified Black Republicans are? I remember feeling the wrath in the community when I first started college. However, [...]

The Vilification of Lauryn Hill

How many of you love some Lauryn Hill? I stay hearing from folks about how she needs to comeback. I’ve even boldly stated that her The Mis-Education of Lauryn Hill was the last great hip-hop album. I will stand by that claim because hip-hop is hot, sweaty garbage on a good day. But I don’t [...]

All White People Are Racist, Let’s Stop Denying This Fact

Now that we’ve gotten past that title, let’s address the issue. Already I’ve lost some of you, I know this. But this is reality. I’ve said it time and time again and you may skip over that part of whatever post it may be in but this is real. Every single white person is racist. [...]

The Commercialization Of Tragedy

I haven’t talked extensively on the Trayvon Martin case. Yes, it’s a tragedy indeed but I believe we’re too distracted by just this one and my interest is piqued as to why. This is not the first nor will this be the last time one of our own is murdered in cold blood. It’s not [...]

We STAY Catchin Hell!

And guess what? Wearing hoodies, carrying around Skittles and Arizona Ice Tea and marching is not going to put an end to that at all. Since we’ve learned of the tragic execution of Trayvon Martin, two more unarmed Black folks (that we know of) have also been gunned down. Rekia Boyd and Ervin Jefferson. These [...]

Hoodies, Marches, Martial Law & Gullibility

We are in an interesting time right now. As Black people I mean. We’re getting attacked from left and right, catching never ending hell. But we should be used to that by now…I mean, how is that different than what’s been going on for centuries within this nation and throughout the Diaspora? The issue we [...]
