*Often times, things are as they seem, not what others wish them to be. Often times, people suffer from paralysis from over-analysis. The Trayvon Martin tragedy would be one of those times. As of late, George Zimmerman supporters and those supposedly on the side of “fairness” (chuckle chortle sniggle guffaw) suggest that we don’t have [...]
The Mo’Kelly Report: *The African-American entertainment community has been not-so-quietly bubbling about director Tyler Perry’s decision to cast reality TV star Kim Kardashian in the upcoming movie, The Marriage Counselor. The obvious irony of the film, title aside; purportedly Tyler fans generally and Black actresses specifically are none-too-pleased how Kardashian has further entrenched herself in [...]
*Last week pastor Xavier Thompson of Southern Missionary Baptist Church met with other members of the Los Angeles-area clergy to pray and protest the FAIR Education Act (Senate Bill 48), which was signed into law in July by California governor Jerry Brown. The law ensures that California public schools will include the historical contributions of [...]
*Even though El DeBarge made it to the stage and performed in New Orleans at the Essence Festival (pictured in photo), there’s still some lingering controversy about the recent Urban Legends show where he performed at or didn’t perform at, depending on one’s point of view, in Ontario California that still got folks scratching their [...]
*Everybody must be lying except R. Kelly. For you to support R. Kelly, that is what you must believe. Otherwise it’s difficult to reconcile supporting the singer/songwriter on any level, artistic or otherwise. We can have the shallow and rehashed debate of separating the artist from his/her artistry, but to do so is to deny [...]
*So maybe now, finally, Bishop Eddie Long will get to hurl the rest of his five rocks he supposedly has at the ready. The first rock of mediation missed the mark, or so it seems. Given the breakdown of settlement talks of the four sexual coercion lawsuits confronting Long, a fall trial looms on the [...]
*The first time Mo’Kelly heard Jacob Lusk, it wasn’t on TV. It was singing together in the tenor section at the Congregational Church of Christian Fellowship here in Los Angeles. He was just as genuine, full of smiles and singing talent then as he is now. So can you imagine Mo’Kelly’s pleasant surprise to see [...]
*Some know him from movies such as Stomp the Yard, Fighting, Mr. 3000 Brian White (Photo: Diondre Jones) and Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All By Myself. Others know him from his co-starring roles on such TV shows as Men of a Certain Age and The Shield. Actor, model and dancer Brian White is [...]
*Evidently, Eddie Long and New Birth Ministries are willing to turn a profit no matter what. The Mo’Kelly Report has uncovered proof that New Birth is using paid advertisements highlighting the scandal to misleadingly drive people to the New Birth website to generate hits and product viewership. If you visit “eddielongnews.com” thinking you’ll see the [...]
*Black people…don’t fall for the okie doke. Things are what they are, not what they’re often times manipulated to be. African-Americans…don’t fall for the banana in the tailpipe. It’s official, the NAACP (the California chapter at least) has sold its soul. The debate continues as to whether marijuana should be decriminalized and in some ways [...]
*Few debates in all of my years of editorial journalism have been this simple. For all the usual pushback Mo’Kelly would get in the discussion of guns within the African-American professional athlete community, the opposition is largely silent these days. No surprise there. With the death of boxing champion Vernon Forrest, murdered while chasing after [...]
The Mo’Kelly Report: Yearning for the Good Ol’ Days of Slavery
Michele Bachmann *Well, the GOP has done it again. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum, recently signed a controversial marriage “pledge.” Part of the document alleges that the family situation of African-American children living under slavery is superior or preferential to today. Meaning, Black slave children had stronger families under slavery. Of course I was personally [...]
