It was only a few months ago when a Dutch Magazine crowned Rihanna as the Ultimate Nigga Bitch… The backlash over the editorial gaffe– (and poor judgment in journalism) was palpable, as people across the Blogosphere and social networking forums were outraged by the offense, and rightfully so. Rihanna took the embattled former editor of [...]

So it’s Super Tuesday, and I’m willing to bet that people are out and about doing what they do on Super Tuesday: voting. Today, in at least eleven states people are out voting in what may be the final vote to determine he de facto Republican presidential nominee.  I know down here in Tennessee, me [...]

I listened to president Obama’s tough guy act AIPAC speech yesterday, and I must say, the brotha didn’t disappoint. Well, maybe disappoint is an inappropriate choice of word. The fact is: president Obama’s speech was what we all — including Republicans — pretty much expected. OK, lemme rephrase that: Republicans expected him to be a [...]

OK, so where have I heard this before? Yep, yet another one of those “we hate poor people” statements from yet another Republican politician. I know, it’s like these people just don’t get it; and quite frankly, I don’t think that they even care to. This time around, Minnesota State Rep. Mary Franson has released a YoutTube video [...]

It amuses pains me greatly to have to write about more dating foibles and intra-racial squabbles between my sistren and brethren, but I’ve been reading some rather disappointing things across the Black Blogosphere this past week and feel the need to weigh-in.  I peeped a couple of interesting articles online (none of which I care [...]

Don’t ever say that the GOP doesn’t like children. It has become quite apparent, that they will do whatever it takes to protect them.They’re against women having abortions; they’re against women using contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies; they’re against gay couples adopting children; and hell, they’re even against gay marriage just on the off chance [...]

My new favorite pastime this year is going to be the “racism and run” technique. I mean, since “they” let us have a half black president in 2008, the concept of racism in America is all but a dead soldier, a since-cleaned stain on our collective pasts. Some folks may have missed the memo, and will let [...]

The Republican party has a problem with certain groups not voting for them. Being resistant to change as they are, they’ve set out to change the rules so as to reduce the number of Republican-adverse votes that are cast for Democrats. In their version of leveling the playing field, they’ve introduced Voter ID laws in [...]

So Mitt Romney managed to squeeze out a win in Michigan’s primary yesterday. His slim margin of victory over Rick Santorum was so close, that many are calling it a loss. But hey, as they say in sports: a win is a win. Yep, and a win is what Romney needed desperately – at least [...]

I’m no connoisseur of vintage adult publications, but do consider the elements that went into creating them during their time, quite interesting; specifically the role Black artists, photographers, models, and distributors (if any) played in the world of vintage adult periodicals and magazine publishing, as we don’t often see information charting the history and are [...]

The first I noticed of the lawsuit recently filed in federal court, by the tribe I am proudly a member of was a link on Facebook that led to an article in a local paper. After I read it, I admit, I was astonished. The person who linked it was another tribal member who had [...]
