HUNTED

A Black man’s experience with racist police practices and racial violence Add a new rule to the List of Things a Brother Must Never Do to Avoid Being Profiled as a Criminal or Shot Like Trayvon Martin — don’t do pull ups on building scaffolds after dark. True story … It was past 10 o’clock […]

IF WEINER ACTS LIKE A WEINERHEAD AGAIN…

I think a good summary of what many New Yorkers think about disgraced former Congressman and current – in spite of a new sex chat scandal – NYC Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner would be a conversation I had with my Mother on the topic. When news of Weiner’s behavior first broke in 2011, Mom had […]

ANOTHER REASON WHY TSARNAEV STRESSES OUT AMERICANS

Why is everybody so upset over Dzhokhar Tsarnaev being featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine? No, I HEARD what people said, but how about discussing the real reason? Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Jeffrey Dahmer, and other multiple-murderers have – in lack of a better term – graced the covers of […]

OBAMA: NAH, THIS AIN’T POST-RACIAL AMERICA

I’m still blown away by how some folks are shocked to hear President Obama reveal that he racially profiled in his younger days. He’s a Black man, isn’t he?? I’m a grown man and I’m STILL profiled. Even had guns drawn on me, more than once. I’ll discuss the incidents some other time… Watching […]

CONGRESSMAN PETER KING FOR PRESIDENT!

(Laughing) The title of my post could have read: “Now confirmed to perform for the 2016 Party of No Brains Freak Show…” C’mon, team! Rep. Peter King wants to be the next American President?? Are we talking about the House’s go-to Homeland security “guru” who wants plant the seeds for a remix of the […]

US: YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SHUT THE HELL UP

I just saw something from the State Department that even tops Joan Walsh’s claim that the Party of No Brains wants to repeal the 20th century—how about the US repealing 200+ years of United States constitutional progress? The Obama Administration recently tongue-lashed Russia for allowing fugitive NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden to spread propaganda through […]

KKK, ZIMMERMAN AND OUR FUTURE

This is a blog post I meant to write prior to the Trayvon Martin murder case verdict, but the post’s message hasn’t changed. A few days before George Zimmerman was found innocent of murdering Trayvon Martin, a Ku Klux Klan umbrella organization called the United Klans of America distributed flyers in Milford, Connecticut telling the […]

IMMIGRATION REFORM – AN INDEPENDENT GUY’S THOUGHTS

Now that the Party of No Brains, led by master taxwriter and Congressman Dave Camp has come up with another reason why the current immigration reform bill passed by the Senate will never make it through the House, a picture very familiar to the Party of No Guts should emerge: PNBs don’t want immigration, even […]

DAVIDSON SHOOTS THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

PUFF JOHNSON, 1972-2013

Hearing about the world losing modern Soul singer Puff Johnson to cercical cancer reminds me of a time during the 90’s where Rap music had no problems breathing if attention was oxygen, and the finishing touches were being placed on taming Alternative Rock for its transition to the mainstream. In contrast the mindshare of Jazz bordered […]
