Moments Blacker Than The Black President Singing "Amazing Grace" In A Black Church On National TV
1. Harriet Tubman. Marcus Garvey. Nina Simone. And Jesus. Together. On Juneteenth. The first Juneteenth. Playing spades. And eating sunflower seeds. BBQ sunflower seeds. Ranch BBQ sunflower seeds. At Rucker Park. But not Rucker Park in Harlem. But a Rucker Park replica in Lagos, constructed specifically for this purpose. And while the Harlem Globetrotters are…

Don Lemon: The Troll Who Will Save America
It’s unfortunate that President Obama’s use of “nigger” became the biggest story from his recent interview with Marc Maron, because the reflexively (and grandstandingly) heated debate about that word has obscured a great point. “Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.” It feels counterintuitive, insulting even, to suggest that…

White Murderer Says Nigger? "It's Not About Race!" Black President Says Nigger? "Let's Talk About Race!"
To give you an idea of how bizarre America’s relationship with race is, consider the following: 1. The two most talked about stories in the country last week were about… A) A ridiculous White woman who seems to believe she’s Shirley Chisholm but is just the real-life Kirk Lazarus. B) A White man who went into a…

The Top 10 Lightskinneded Black Male Beefs, Ever
Everything that could have been said about Michael Eric Dyson’s 170,000 word critique of Cornel West has likely already been said. The forensic examination is near complete, the deconstructions have been deconstructed, and somewhere in America, Miley Cyrus is still twerking. Still, one assessment remains. Really, the only assessment that matters. On the list of notable…

Seven Thoughts On The Ghost Of Cornel West
1. It’s not terribly uncommon for the type of people who’d even be interested in reading Michael Eric Dyson’s thoughts about Cornel West to rib on Dyson for his often torrential and occasionally obnoxious loquaciousness. He is a man very in love with both the words escaping his pen and coming out of his mouth, and…

Michael Jordan Fires Shots, President Obama Claps Back, Says "I Actually Do My Job, Bitch"
It’s very possible that MJ and Obama are chopping it up in some private back room at Burgatory right now, smoking blunts and drinking cookie dough milkshakes. Again, this is very possible. But, after seeing the jabs they’ve been giving each other for the past week, it might be a bit colder in Chicago than we…

A Second-By-Second Breakdown Of President Obama Reminding Us He Can Take Your Girlfriend
00:11: The aptly named Mike Jones jokes “Mr. President, don’t touch my girlfriend” —- a move that raises two questions: 1. Is there a more appropriate name for a Black man somewhat insecure (jokingly or not) about his romantic status than “Mike Jones“? 2. How awkward would this entire exchange have been if Jones’s girlfriend was…

President Obama Speaks On Ferguson…And Words Come Out Of His Mouth
I’m a huge President Obama fan. Which, these days, often makes me an Obama defender. Part of this defense is a personality-based relation. He’s a textbook introvert. I am as well. I know how it feels to have your pensive and deliberate nature interpreted as being robotic, arrogant, and aloof. I also know how it…
