African descendant Mercutio Southall Jr. proved that he owns a set of balls the size of Birmingham, Alabama’s Wells Fargo Tower when he rolled up to a Donald Trump for President rally in the same city a couple of days ago and chanted “Black Lives Matter.” Southall demonstrated something else more important: “All Lives Matter” […]
Read More ALL LIVES MATTER — EXCEPT FOR N****** AND MONKEYSThe junior high school I attended covered propaganda in its history curricula, and my teachers never once asked me to draw German Nazi Party posters. (Laughing) But thanks to a first year Salem, Utah middle school teacher, about 60 students not only learned how to draw Islamic State (ISIL or ISIS) recruitment posters, but the […]
Read More TERRORISTS, UTAH SCHOOL KIDS AND THE PROPAGANDA LESSONSome of you are aware of my editorial policy of not burning electrons and time debating over trivial things like the isms and schisms of labels — unless even the most subtle of nominal permutations can mean the difference between framing an important truth and maintaining a social or political falsehood.

Read More RUPERT MURDOCH DEFINES A REAL BLACK US PRESIDENTIn 1939, shocked movie viewers abruptly walked out of theaters after hearing Clarke Gable’s character say “I don’t give a damn” in Gone With the Wind.

That’s the figure I came up with when I tried to distill the meaning of General Motors’ nine hundred million dollar settlement with the US government to avoid being charged with knowingly selling cars with defective ignition switches — vehicles which I can arguably call pending death sentences — to you non-oligarchs.

Read More WHAT IT MEANS WHEN GM EXECUTIVES PAY TO GET AWAY WITH KILLING PEOPLEI always look forward to reading the lists of finalists for the National Book Awards, but my eyebrows arched a bit higher this morning when I saw the subject areas covered by the authors in the Awards’ long list for Young People’s Literature: a Malcolm X novel, co-written by one of the daughters of the […]
Read More MALCOLM X NOVEL ANNOUNCED IN 2015 NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS LONG LISTThe good news about former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani crawling out of his makeshift 9/11 shrine to write a New York Post article about current Mayor Bill de Blasio’s handling of the city’s homelessness problem is that Giuliani never mentioned 9/11. I’m sure of that. I read the article twice. Plus, I skimmed […]
Read More LOOK WHO’S TALKING – GIULIANI SCHOOLS DE BLASIO ON HOMELESS ISSUEYou would think that I wouldn’t have to burn electrons explaining why Serious Games Interactive CEO Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen’s Slave Tetris mini-game is dumb, if not outright disrespectful to humanity, but he apparently doesn’t get it — even after he pulled the mini-game from his larger Playing History 2: Slave Trade game.
