Even though it’s political season and there are lots of commercials that indicate that every vote counts—vote or die and s—t—forcing politicians to do everything to court the votes of communities not like theirs, I kind of wish Hillary Clinton would stop trying to win the black vote now.

Why I Stopped Caring About Baseball
Growing up, I was fortunate enough to play several organized sports at varying levels from early youth through high school. I played soccer and basketball, ran both track and cross-country, gave football a short stint.

I'm Buggin' Out: RIP To The Five Foot Assassin, Phife Dawg, My Favorite Underdog
“Yo, microphone check, 1, 2, what is this…” As the story goes, I was in my 9th grade English class, taught by Mrs. Sproul, and asleep. Which never happened: I’ve always been an astute student, sitting at the front of the class and being the first to raise my hand to answer questions posed to…

I Think My Facebook Is Too Black
Do you remember a few months ago when people were unfriending folks left and right because they found out their friends were Donald Trump supporters or über-conservative or even sometimes closet racists?
