Draymond Green Summarized The Entire Black Experience In Five Seconds
At the beginning of the interview, he is every Black American trying to do the right thing. Every worker catching two trains to work this morning. Every parent dropping their kids off at school. Every husband agreeing to go weekend toaster shopping even though the toaster they currently own works perfectly fine. And then, something…

Ben Carson Is The Dumbest Motherfucker Alive
I do not care that Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr. graduated from Yale and became the director of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins when he was 33, the youngest ever in that position. (For comparison’s sake, at 33, I was still saving my cups from Panera Bread — leaving with them instead of throwing them away, keeping…

Yeah, Bill de Blasio Is Trolling The Hell Out Of Internet Conservatives
Look, I’d be lying if I said I’d heard of either Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr before today. But since, according to Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina, hundreds of thousands of New York City public school kids are Muslim, it makes perfect, logical, and practical sense to close schools on the days these holidays are observed. This isn’t…

In Defense Of Too Many Of The "Wrong" Type Of Black People On TV
At the moment, Issa Rae’s The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl — a memoir with a buzz largely fueled by the popularity of her similarly themed webseries — is currently sitting on the New York Times’ bestseller list.

Why "I Hope He Whooped The Shit Out Of George Zimmerman" Is The Blackest Thing I've Ever Heard This Week
1. Because although Melissa Harris-Perry said “hope,” its said in the same spirit of Cedric The Entertainer’s “wish.” Remember, she gave this speech at Cornell University. If she gave that speech at Cornell’s House of Naturals in East St. Louis instead, I’m 99.9% certain “I hope he whooped the shit out of George Zimmerman” would have…

Completely And Utterly Ridiculous Racial Slurs For Black Americans, Ranked
I’m not quite sure what “jigaboo music” is. Or what it would sound like if I heard some of it. (Drums and the sound of watermelon being cut?) Ohio news anchor Kristi Capel, however, is aware, and it apparently sounds like Lady Gaga. Capel has since apologized, claiming that she didn’t know what the word…

The Lightskinned Revolution Will Be Televised During All-Star Weekend
Saturday night, at approximately 10pm EST, Kyrie Irving was competing in the final round of the 2015 three point contest. The other contestants? The “Splash Brothers” — Golden State Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson; a duo doing the exact same thing to the NBA in 2015 that Al B. Sure and Christopher Williams…

All You Need To Know About Race In America Happened To Me In 90 Seconds Today
It was 10:00am. The Wife Person surprised me with tickets to the Cavs/Heat game yesterday, so we made the two hour drive to Cleveland, stayed overnight, and drove back early this morning. I took her directly to work, and drove back home. “Home” for us is an old high school building that had been closed…
