*It’s about time Bill Maher responded to Wayne Brady. Not because he owes Brady any sort of explanation or apology for his previous jokes about Brady’s supposed lacking Black male fortitude. Maher needs to respond because he has never been reticent to respond to the likes of a Donald Trump or a Sarah Palin. Man [...]
*1991, Rev. Jesse Jackson asked the question “is hip hop music educating or eroding young minds.” 1992, the Parents Music Resource Center was instrumental in applying public pressure and forcing rapper Ice-T to recall his album and remove the song “Cop Killer” from it. Various law enforcement organizations pledged to also boycott Time Warner the [...]
*LOS ANGELES – The Mo’Kelly Show celebrates its one-year anniversary on top Los Angeles talk station KFI-AM640 on Saturday April 6 from 6-8pm PDT. Over the past 12 months, guests have included NAACP president Ben Jealous, Pleasanton Tea Party president Dr. Bridget Melson, members of Congress, state leadership from both the Democratic and Republican parties [...]
*Some fights you must fight … on principle alone. This would be one of them. This fight is about having standards, knowing when television programming has in fact gone too far or finally found the basement. The effect and impact of stereotypes can not be denied, from the generalities of racial profiling to the specifics [...]
*If the suits at the Oxygen network thought putting on a show about ATL rapper Shawty Lo called “All My Babies’ Mamas” was a brilliant idea, they may be in for a rude awakening. As we reported, there’s already an online grassroots type boycott petition in place. And now, to stoke the fires even more, [...]
*He may not want it, but Tavis Smiley is about to get some more attention because of Mo’Kelly. Tomorrow morning, Tuesday, 12-18/12 at 4:15am Pacific / 7:15am Eastern on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, blogger and radio host Mo’Kelly will be interviewed by TJMS correspondent Roland Martin. The subject is the “disagreement” between Mo’Kelly (Morris [...]
*Oh, the drama! It used to kinda private, but the rancor between Tavis Smiley and Morris W. O’Kelly a/k/a “Mo’Kelly,” has gone public. A recent article by columnist Betty Pleasant in the Los Angeles Wave newspaper did the trick. Pleasant writes that the situation between the two outspoken media personalities has heated up to the [...]
*Acknowledge it…yes. Celebrate it…absolutely not. Just because Augusta National admitted its first two female members, it is not by any means a reason to celebrate. Let’s not confuse “historic” with admirable. Augusta national first opened its doors in 1932. It saw WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq I, Afghanistan and Iraq II before it saw [...]
*Depending on whom you ask, Wayne Brady should or should not have taken exception to being used as fodder for the “non-threatening Black man” joke. Also depending on whom you ask, the oft-used joke by Bill Maher should be considered less of an insult and more a compliment, in that Wayne Brady is not emblematic [...]
*Actor Michael Cudlitz who stars as Officer John Cooper probably said it best. “It’s not about the crimes or even the criminals. It’s about how both affect the characters…how they react to them. There is truth in their reactions.” That “truth” in which Cudlitz referenced, is even more astonishing given the fact that NBC somehow [...]
*With all of the specifics still pending, NAACP Chairwoman Roslyn Brock’s official statement is that the organization hopes for a resolution between suspended CNN political commentator Roland Martin, CNN and GLAAD (The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). Brock’s comments are in response to Roland Martin’s Super Bowl Sunday twitter controversy when his tweets referred to [...]
*Trey Songz is getting ready to hit the road to promote his upcoming CD, Anticipation. To help get the word out, he spoke to EUR associate Morris O’Kelly, whom we all know as Mo’Kelly. He has more than 3.6 million Twitter followers (and growing). Most of whom are female and absolutely love everything about Trey [...]
*Seminal Funk/Rock band War is not alone being pissed at the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame for installing the Beastie Boys over more deserving music icons. Here, our Morris O’Kelly is also on the warpath about the trio being selected over … of all people … Eric B & Rakim and Public Enemy!? Check [...]
*Hmm, it may have taken a little longer than we thought it would, who didn’t see this one coming? Vanessa Long, the wife of Bishop Eddie Long, has filed for divorce. “After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my [...]
*Morris O’Kelly’s Mo’Kelly Report says that Eddie Long’s problems keep getting worse. And if what Mo’Kelly is reporting turns out to be true about the disgraced Atlanta, it certainly wouldn’t or shouldn’t surprise anyone: Well-placed spies for The Mo’Kelly Report and long-time members of New Birth are alleging that Vanessa Long, the First Lady of [...]
