Thanks, Obama.
While perusing Facebook a few days ago, I came across this tweet for President Barack Hussein Obama’s last State of The Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday, January 12. Typically, I couldn’t care less about those speeches; it’s an annual event where every sitting President lays out his “guys, I’d really like to do some things” priorities…

President Obama's Gun Control Tears Are The Blackest Thing That Ever Happened This Week
It’s been well-documented here that President Obama is firmly and fully ensconced in the fuck devoid span of his presidency. He has nestled in his full-length no fucks futon; his bare feet stretched on his no fucks ottoman, reading perhaps How to Give No Fucks and Influence People or Chicken Soup for the Fuck-less Soul. This…

Malia And Sasha Obama At The Turkey Pardoning Is The Blackest Thing That Ever Happened This Week
The youngest person at my family’s Thanksgiving dinner yesterday was my niece. She is the youngest child of my wife’s sister, and favors her (my wife) so much that people assume they’re mother and daughter when they’re out together.

I’ve seen her byline before, as I am a regular reader of the publication, so I didn’t doubt her credentials, and…

The #POTUSPlaylist, Reviewed
Barack Obama is truly MY president. Never in my life, have I been so actively concerned with the minutiae of another grown man’s life as I have been with our commander-in-chief. I wait with bated breath for new opportunities for Barack to exude unabashed coloredness. Barack installs White House basketball court? I’m grinning with joy.…

Correction: Bree Newsome Actually Just Did The Blackest Thing I've Ever Seen
Yesterday, I wrote that a Black president singing “Amazing Grace” at a Black church on national TV was the Blackest thing that has ever happened. I said it passed peak Blackness and entered gravitational time dilation Blackness. Dark matter, event horizon Blackness. Undiscovered dimension Blackness, redefining our understanding of how Black Blackness could be. And then…
