How Trump Turned the 2nd Debate Into a Rap Battle
Sunday’s debate showed one thing about Donald Trump that I’d never noticed: He is thoroughly versed in the Loaded Lux playbook of battle rap. Just 90 minutes prior to Sunday’s town hall showdown versus Hillary “Supa Predatah” Clinton, Trump hosted a Facebook Live press conference with several women who’d accused the former president and current…

Hillary Clinton Needs to Let the 'Bitch' Loose on Trump
I ran for office once. My opponent was a loud, sugar-hyped seventh-grader, and we were running for seventh-grade class president. Although he didn’t have an orange tan or comb-over like Donald Trump, he was just as big a bully as Trump. But that’s expected in the seventh grade. During our run for class president, this…

Donald Trump is in serious trouble with his own party heading into the crucial town hall debate against Hillary Clinton on Sunday night.

If, for some mysterious reason, The Cheesecake Factory were to all of a sudden add a two gallon bucket of shit to their menu, it would (probably) get quite a bit of news coverage and (definitely) cause quite a bit of confusion. “Why would they do this?” people would ask. “What benefit could that possibly…

Why I Don't Talk About Race With My White Family
I came across this very interesting piece on Gawker the other day about a Black man (he’s mixed, but ya know, he’s Black) talking about a discussion he got into about race with his white cousin who was pretty much of the mindset that racism was more or less a figment of Black imagination and…
