Wanda Sykes performed at Boston’s TD Garden Saturday night, and once she started talking about President-elect Bleeding Gums, the crowd wasn’t too pleased. During her set, Sykes basically told the truth about the dude, and how his election hadn’t marked the first time that the U.S. had chosen a “racist, sexist homophobic president.” “He’s just…

Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter’s 1958 marriage in Virginia would change the course of history when it came to interracial marriages. Loving was a white man and Jeter was a black woman, and their marriage was…

With the election less than a week away, late-night talk shows are full speed ahead with the jokes. During Wednesday night’s episode of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, whom I like to describe as the “little engine that could” when it comes to late night, compared Hillary Clinton to black people.

When the news surrounding Beyoncé’s Country Music Association Awards performance made its rounds, some racist die-hard fans weren’t too happy that the R&B singer would appear on their beloved low-rated show.
