Why Is It So Hard for Pundits to Admit That America's Racism Is What's Driving Trump's Campaign?
In terms of campaign strategy, the formula for Donald J. Trump’s presidential bid has been quite clear: Take the themes of racism and nativism once popularized by George Wallace, add contemporary references and essentially tell the electorate, “This is the remix. The jeeps pump this new remix.” From talks of a “big, beautiful wall” to…

NY Man Builds Barbed Wire Fence to Protect Donald Trump Sign
One New York man wants to make absolutely sure you know exactly who he’s supporting in this year’s presidential race. In fact, he seems to have taken a lesson straight out of his candidate’s book; however, although Donald Trump wants to build a wall along the border between the U.S. and Mexico, Robert Marini just…

A Dear John Letter to the Democratic Party
Dear Democratic Party, First, I want to tell you that I appreciate all you’ve done for me, but I have just begun to realize that our relationship is abusive. I know that most relationships are based on what we see our parents do, and I watched mine get stuck in this same kind of toxic…

A Vote For Jill Stein Is A Vote In The Trash
Cornel West recently continued down his long, winding road to breaking my heart. He returned to his recurring role as a panelist on Real Time with Bill Maher, where he was even more overbearing than usual.

George P. Bush’s Spineless Move to Endorse Trump Is About Power, Not Principle
Long before Jeb! Bush announced what would prove to be a dazzlingly disastrous bid for the presidency, I believed that if we were forced to endure another President Bush in our lifetimes, it would not be him. No, such honors would go to the former Florida governor’s son, George P. Bush, the one whom his…

Drake Is The Donald Trump Of Hip-Hop
I don’t remember exactly which day last week Funkmaster Flex became a top trending topic. I do remember, however, that when first seeing his name, I assumed that he either 1) died (which, fortunately, didn’t happen) or 2) finally completed his transformation from New York City DJ to the world’s first sentient Lugz chukka. (Which, unfortunately, didn’t…
