Now That Kelly Loeffler Has Lost Her Senate Seat, LeBron James Would Love Nothing More Than for Her to Lose Her Ownership Stake in the WNBA, Too
I think it’s safe to say that anybody who openly rails against the Black Lives Matter movement, insists that politics and sports shouldn’t intertwine, or sponsors a bill that targets transgender athletes is a less than ideal fit for owning a WNBA franchise. But because the devil is busy, none of the above has precluded…

'Could You Imagine Today, If Those Were All Black People?': Here's How the NBA Reacted to White Privilege Appreciation Day
On the same day that “John Lewis Democrats” Ralphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff emerged victorious in Georgia’s runoffs, which has finally provided Democrats with control of the Senate, something unprecedented—and painfully alabaster—occurred. In what can only be described as one of the greatest displays of white privilege in the history of Western Civilization, a violent…

Jon Ossoff Defeats David Perdue in Georgia Runoffs, Giving Democrats Control of the Senate
Well people, against all odds it happened: Georgia has turned blue. Yeah, I know, the Peach State turned blue when it handed President-elect Joe Biden his win over President-reject Donald Trump, but that shade of blue just got a little bit deeper now that Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff have both defeated their opponents…

Meghan McCain's Face Is a Face
Meghan McCain’s face, captured here in a thousand-yard death stare while Brady-Brunched with her castmates on The View and Raphael Warnock, is not a bottle of Mylanta Maximum Strength Liquid Antacid/Anti-Gas Classic. Nor is it a pancake, a Cadillac Seville, a tent, a three-on-three basketball tournament trophy from the Pittsburgh Jewish Community Center, a poached…

Ding, Dong, the Witch Is Dead—and the WNBA Helped Usher In Her Demise
Sen. Kelly Loeffler is having a bad day. When last we left her, the Wicked Witch of the West South was seen licking her wounds after flooding the streets of Atlanta with tears so white that they want to speak to the manager. If the cause of her distress is unclear, allow me to paint…

Raphael Warnock Takes Over Seat Once Held by Senator Who Called for Lynchings of Black Men
Rev. Raphael Warnock became the first Black senator elected out of Georgia, but another senator who once held his seat believed men like him should be lynched. In October of 1922, Rebecca Latimer Felton was appointed to the U.S. Senate out of the state of Georgia for one full day. She was a leading voice…

To Georgia, and Black People, Who Are One and the Same
Real quick: I heard them on the phone talking about you, disparaging your integrity. I would have at least told them to keep my people’s name out of their mouths, but I imagine that’s how white boys talk in private. In my head, they’re always talking about titties, yelling the n-word or concocting a nefarious…

A Few Notes About the Georgia Runoff
Georgia voters have begun early voting in the state’s U.S. Senate January runoff that will determine the balance of power in Washington. Democrats Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are in tight races with their GOP opponents Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, respectively. Neither candidate was able to get to the 50 percent threshold…

Black Pastors Call Kelly Loeffler’s Attacks on ‘Radical’ Raphael Warnock Sermons an ‘Attack Against the Black Church’
There’s a reason why white people—especially conservatives—are always so blind to their own racism: They view everything through a lens of whiteness. On Saturday, a group of Black pastors, mostly from Georgia, penned an open letter to Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and her campaign in response to recent “too radical for Georgia” attack ads against…

Kelly Loeffler’s Campaign Claims She ‘Had No Idea’ the Man She Posed With in a Photo Is a Former KKK Leader
It must be terribly inconvenient for Republicans trying to convince America that their party isn’t racist, that racists keep gravitating towards the Republican Party. Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) posed for a photo with a former KKK leader during a campaign rally in Dawsonville, Ga., Friday, and now her campaign is claiming she had “no idea”…
