*In America, we are taught at an early age to place our hands over our hearts and pledge allegiance to the flag. But many of us have no idea what we are doing. When we pledge allegiance to the flag, we are essentially accepting a full plate of indoctrination to things that may conflict with [...]
*I originally wrote about this in 2005, based on a real life event. Recently, a Facebook status gone wrong alarmed me that people are still thinking and acting like drink pimps and drink whores. An ignominious idiot posted as her status: “Men will buy their boy a drink at the club quicker than they will [...]
*Sometimes it’s hard to talk to or about Black women without catching heat and inevitably hearing the now empty catchphrase: “You hate Black women!” It seems that for some Black women, any disagreement brings down the wrath of the ages. Even if the disagreement is founded in research, or referenced from other Black women. Many [...]
1 My dog won’t bite. First, he’s your dog and second, you don’t know where I stand. I might be afraid or allergic or just don’t want your dog to be on me. And, you don’t know what your dog will do–only what he has done. Dogs bite, stupid. 2 I can’t find a man [...]
*In America, the people are suffering from a sense of entitlement. In every sector, there are groups of people who believe that they should receive something simply because they exist. Stupid white men think that they should have privilege and be elevated above the masses simply because they are white. That thinking is borne of [...]
*At the close of another Black History Month, will you wait until next year to study or to share history of Africans in America, or will you continue the study and dissemination all year long? And if you are a conscious Black man or woman, will you study the history of the African beginning with [...]
*Currently, Christopher Dorner has everyone spooked, including the LAPD. So spooked, that many are willing to ignore the statements Dorner has made about the police force he was once a member of. In the search for Dorner, the LAPD has already shot at three innocent citizens. But while the average citizen is outraged over Dorner’s [...]
*The controversy over the images in “Django Unchained,” a white man’s film continues to brew in America. Whether you love or hate the film, the most important message was that Blacks have done a poor job of controlling their own image. We can take control of our own image by taking control of the manufacturing [...]
*In music, there are words to songs that become larger than the song itself and sometimes, larger than the artist. We still remember Marvin Gaye asking “What’s Going On?” We still remember Public Enemy bellowing out: “19-EIGHTY-NINE’S The Number…” Without even saying the remainder of the line, those words hold deep meaning for us. Most [...]
*I just saw Django Unchained. I had to do it so that I could make an informed opinion. There were parts to love and hate about this movie. Parts of the flick were hard to watch, but the hardest part was watching dead-brained knee-grows cheering and laughing at the usage of the N word. They [...]
*I recently pulled out of a relationship panel discussion in which I was supposed to be the moderator. I watched it morph from a panel of Black men speaking into something else when two women were added as co-moderators. Some people believe that whenever men have something to say, it must be balanced out with [...]
*There was a time when the Christmas holiday season didn’t get cracking until right after Thanksgiving. But as time has past and as the nation has become more commercial, the Christmas promotions have crept earlier in the year, now starting just around Halloween. And, Christmas is a dubious holiday with confusion and conflicting roots anyway. [...]
*November 18th, 1978 is one of the most tragic days in American history. Tragedy takes many forms in our society, but there is nothing more tragic than the violation of one’s faith. People believe, sometimes, because they have nothing else to believe in. Some people believe because they don’t know what to believe, and in [...]
“We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us.’ -Malcolm X *The above quote from Malcolm X is in reference to the celebration of the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock in what they would call New England, ultimately creating the Mayflower Compact and laying the foundation for the United States. Malcolm used this [...]
*Pick up any given women’s magazine, and you will find something that has been enduring: Information about men. The problem is that much of that information comes from women. Typically, the magazines provide lists that women should follow in order to measure the worth of potential male mates. Those lists also explain what men must [...]
