Roy Moore vs. Doug Jones Has Nothing to Do With Little Girls; It’s About White Supremacy
When die-hard Republicans engage in the often fruitless exercise of soliciting black and other minority voters to buck the stranglehold of the Democratic voting bloc and join the constantly shrinking tent of the Grand Old Party, they always resort to the same tactics. They declare themselves “the party of Lincoln” and mention how they ended…

If you live in the Sistrunk neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and happen to be hankering for some Pizza Hut after 7 p.m., it really sucks to be you because one local store refuses to make deliveries to the historically black neighborhood after dark.

On the Ground at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum Opening in Jackson
It is debatable whether the unexpected snow hitting the South, including Jackson, Miss., affected attendance at the grand opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the Museum of Mississippi History more than Donald Trump’s appearance Saturday.

Today marks 30 years since James Baldwin’s passing, and America seems to be as ignorant of its inherent racism as it was when Baldwin was writing and being an all-around brilliant man, scholar and activist.

I Went to the Jay-Z 4:44 Tour Stop in Washington, DC. Here’s What Happened
1. Jay performed for roughly two hours. And I could have danced and rapped along for two more hours, easy. Obviously this is not news to anybody, but that man’s catalog is STACKED. He ran through a few records from Reasonable Doubt (he did “Can I Live” to give a shoutout to D.C. drug kingpin…
