White House Crisis Management
Last week in my “Bad Week For Obama” blog I discussed three current “so called” scandals that the white house is trying to deal with. The IRS debacle, the Department of Justice wiretapping issue, and the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. Honestly I thought all three of those scandals would fizzle and fade away from mainstream media. I knewRead the Rest…
Bad Week For Obama
This has not been a good week for our president… stating the obvious I know, but he’s taking heat from all sides, both left and right. Some of it is warranted but most of it only exist in the minds of republicans or manufactured within the 24 hour news cycle to raise a ratings slump that’s been stagnant and/or lagging everRead the Rest…
NBA Player Jason Collins Comes Out
The coolest most awesomest thing ever happened today. Jason Collins an NBA basketball player for the Washington Wizards came out as a proud gay African American man. This guy has no idea how many young African American men he’s helping by coming out. When you live in a small town in the bible belt of America all you hear isRead the Rest…
Coming Out To Friends
After reading NBA star Jason Collins’s coming out story in Sports Illustrated and watching his interview on Oprah, I began thinking about my own coming out story. It was extremely freeing just like Jason said his experience was, but mine lacked national attention, a call from the president, thousands of articles, millions of supportive tweets, and a primetime Oprah Interview.Read the Rest…

Justice Scalia’s Racist Agenda
I’ve been seething for a few days now over Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s outrageous comment calling the Voting Rights Act a “racial entitlement”. There’s an article by LEONARD PITTS JR. in the Miami Herald that sums up everything I’ve been feeling about the injustice of The Supreme Court even hearing this argument. Although concise and extremely eloquent there isRead the Rest…
President Obama’s First Debate 2012
The first debate of the 2012 Presidential election is over. Now the pundits and the American people are deciding who won. Just to be fair I feel I need to let you know that I have been and always will be a very liberal democrat. After watching the debate I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the way theRead the Rest…
BUYING HERMAN CAIN
As soon as I heard that the billionaire republican Koch brothers were bankrolling Herman Cain’s bid for the republican presidential nomination, I knew instantly what they planned to do with him and why they chose him. First of all, anyone with any political knowledge will tell you that Herman Cain has absolutely no chance in hell of getting the GOPRead the Rest…
Teaching Gay History & Manipulating Black Voters
In California a law was passed that requires public schools to include prominent gay people and gay rights milestones into the school’s curriculum. Of course the Evangelicals and Tea Party members are organizing and working to get 504,760 signatures from registered voters to get a ballot referendum that would repeal this law. They are telling would-be voters that the new mandate wouldRead the Rest…
Who Knew Racism Sells Skin Care Products?
The well known skin care company Nivea has a line of very popular men’s care grooming products available. I’ve used their shower gel for almost a year now, and I’ve even recommended it to friends when they ask me why do I smell so good when I get out of the shower. I like it because it has a mildRead the Rest…
