Harrison Flips off Obama
Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison is skipping out on his Super Bowl-winning teams RSVP to the White House. It’s weird to me, because it’s almost like he’s trying to stand on a principle — that the president should want to see you whether you win or lose — without understanding that a personal audience with the…

Cleveland Tourism Video: WTF?
So, some dude named Mike Polk, who fancies himself a comedian, did a YouTube video tribute to Cleveland. The Cleveland Tourism Board video and another one he did have been making the rounds around the Internets and what not and the thing is, it’s almost funny, in a 1983 sort of way, when white people…

Wife Goes on Sex Strike, Man Sues
A Kenyan man decided to sue the organizers of the sex strike there, saying the deprivation has caused him undue stress. According to the ladies and CNN reports, the strike worked, kinda, as leaders did actually meet. I was a big critic of the sex strike — and I remain one —- but you can’t…

Check Up on The Shack-Ups
Back in the day, when I admonished biological fathers to be hyper-vigilant about who thier babymama’s hooked and shacked up with, I caught alot of flak. Naturally, I was called a “misogynist” (the preferred insult from people who can’t articulate a coherent counter-point) and the like. But there seem to be a rash of boyfriends…

First Mother-In-Law Likes To Party
Regular readers may recall a few months back, when I wrote a joint suggesting that moving First Mother-In-Law Marian Robinson into the White House was a dummy move – it would be media fodder, cause for distraction and she would have her folks up in there playing cards and the like. Beyond the usual suspects…

White Hip-Hoppers
Asher Roth is this white kid who raps — the internets is all abuzz about him, and has been for some time. But lately, it’s because of his off-color comments about nappy-headed hoes and socially irresponsible black rappers. His foilbles — and subsequent apology — serve to remind us all that while rap music has…

Pacquiao/Hatton: 25 Bucks a Round
The Paquiao/Hatton fight made me long for the days of real boxing. These guys were not evenly matched going in — Pac Man was going to own him, and everyone knew it. I almost paid to watch this bout, but that was the last time I evcen think about it — it came out to,…

Sex and Politics in Kenya
I read my last post about the sex strike in Nairobi and it was clear to me that it missed its mark. So it seems wholey appropriate to revisit the topic, because I suspect my point was lost in the malarkey. So much of me wonders, in a group of obviously intelligent women –smart enough…

The Great African Booty Strike
When I first read about the women of Nairobi going on some kind of “sex strike,” I thought it was the dumbest, ugliest thing I’d heard all week. Not only is it stupid, it props up this ugly myth about black men, that we are only motivated by our penises. I have never, ever read…

100 Days On: Are We Post-Racial Yet?
All the talk about President Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office, and hardly any about the “post-racial” America white folks were looking forward to. As far as I can tell, white folks are just acting screwy-er that usual, even if there is a noticable uptick in thier niceness. Doors get opened for me now.…
