Ah…the joys of life!  I love the fact that Michael Phelps was caught smoking a bong!  Yes.  (more…)

    With gruesome pictures of the the Israeli bombardment of Gaza circulating widely on the net, it is no wonder why this age old conflict has resurrected itself yet again.  In fact, it never really left.  This region is home to sacred religious sites of 3 of the world’s most prominent religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.  Could this be the very reason why  this conflict continues to persists?  Is there something that we as a world community can do to quell the senseless killing of man, woman, and child?  I pray that there is an answer.  I’m interested to see what line Obama will take on this conflict, seeing as though the US sternly backs Israel with military technology and funding.  Strange days indeed…

This is Your Nation on White Privilege By Tim Wise  9/13/08
For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help. (more…)

I was watching Current TV…and this clip jumped off the screen! It starts off with Obama doin his thing. Suddenly, you notice a rowdy buzz. Obama strains to feign indifference. (more…)

I just watched Obama’s speech and was definitely trippin off of the historic magnitude of the moment. On the anniversary of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Obama took the stage. Is this for real? (more…)

I know we’re making history in this country, with the first black presidential candidate and all. I also know that politics is a dirty game. What I don’t know is how much racism from the collective unconscious of America will have to spew forth before we can move forward into a new day. Presumably, the muck-slinging has just begun, and I’m sure its going to get worse. The preview was Hillary, and her forthright attacks on Obama’s race and class. I can only imagine what McCain is going to come with.
Case in point is the below illustration. Boy, the dude who drew this must really be scared. In his mind, he must equate blackness with anarchy and chaos, as is evidenced by the flag burning in the fireplace and a portrait of Bin Laden on the wall. He also has Michelle dressed like some neo-militant, and has Barack in traditional middle eastern garb. To add to this, they’re giving each other the “terrorist” handshake…which just happens to be the ol skool greeting of choice amongst folks, but I guess white America doesn’t know that?? Strange. I guess its supposed to be funny. Hardy ha ha…

Man I tell you…seems like the world is going crazy contemplating ways to stop Obama’s candidacy. This time they’ve elected Luda as a radical. Fa real??? When did Ludacris become a radical?? Or maybe its just because he’s loud, scary, and black. Its pure irony and comedy mixed up in an ugly blender. They’re not going to stop going at this cat until he’s finally elected, and even then I’d wager that he’ll be held under a microscope to the nth degree by liberals and racists alike. Try as they may…McCain still seems doomed to failure. Peep game.. (more…)
