When It Comes to White Supremacists, Trump, You Are the Father
I love former President Barack Obama. I started loving him shortly after he walked offstage after making his now-historic 2004 Democratic National Convention speech. During his time as president, not only was Obama an example of class and excellence in office, but for many black men, he was also a role model for how to…

Remember: No Matter How Awful Parmesan Putin Is, George W. Bush Still Ain’t Shit
One may as well wear a white hood, while the other governed as if he were donning a dunce cap, but make no mistake: Hot garbage may have a stronger stench than its colder counterpart, but trash is trash. So when it comes to the growing sentiment that maybe, just maybe, former President George W.…

Will Trump’s Executive Order Be a Boon or a Bust for HBCUs?
On Tuesday, when President Donald Trump signed the Presidential Executive Order on the White House Initiative to Promote Excellence and Innovation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, black college leaders and advocates were hoping for two things: more funding for HBCUs and a higher profile for the initiative in the White House.

Stomp the Yard: Nice Try, but Republicans Still Don’t Get HBCUs
2017 is a strange time for America’s HBCUs. In the rearview mirror is President Barack Obama, whom African-American college students loved and voted for in historic numbers.

Trump’s Presidential Address: The Wypipo Speech
Apparently, black people are racist. I didn’t know I was a racist until recently, but luckily, the great people of white America took their long history of racial awareness and benevolence toward people of color to show us the light. Lately, the jujitsu of reverse racism has manifested itself in the ugliest, most virulent form…

How Do We Fight Back Against Trump and His Fake News, Fake Media Propaganda?
During a recent CNN segment with Don Lemon, panelist Karine Jean-Pierre pointed out that Donald Trump is continuing to profit off his business while in office and noted his hypocrisy in having previously criticized Barack Obama for taking vacations when American taxpayers have been paying for Trump’s weekend visits to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.…

Get Your Feet Off That Damn White House Couch, Kellyanne Conway
No-Comb Conway continues to dance off-beat all over my last nerve. It’s not enough that the Mistress of Propaganda has not been benched despite recent reports and my personal pleas to Black Jesus, but now this liar who helped make her con artist client president of the United States continues to show her utter disregard…

The Donald Trump Presidential-Speech Drinking Game
If you’re anything like me, when Donald Trump addresses a joint session of Congress tonight, it will be very difficult to watch (especially if, like me, you initially thought “joint session of Congress” referred to a little-known constitutional amendment that required representatives to pass a blunt around the House chamber). Luckily for you, we here…
