“The Other Black Girl” Floored Folks in Book Form, and It’s Now a TV Series

The show started streaming on Hulu last night. Those with eyes have witnessed this real-life story before: people guilty of working while Black in White spaces while the latter thinks it’s trying sooo hard to decriminalize the former’s daily identity that the outcome can be outrageously funny. And simply outrageous. You can replace “Black” with […]

Marion, Kansas Police Raids Town Newspaper, 98-Year-Old Owner Dies

We should call out attacks on the press in all towns, large and small … I rarely read a local news headline from the Midwest that says, “Kansas Newspaper Owner Died in the Line of Duty After Police Raid”. So, yeah. I started digging. The decedent is 98-year-old Joan Meyer, co-owner of the Marion County […]

Lizzo Blitz

Hmph. That lawsuit … The latest news about Lizzo ain’t surprised me — until I read the weight-shaming part. And then you could see the mushroom cloud over my skull. I was like — no lie — “Holy Deckard-in-the-director’s cut … ” And then I laughed at her Replicant azz. I became serious after that. […]

1493 is the White supremacist parent of 1776 and 1619

Spain’s Doctrine of Discovery opened America and the rest of the so-called ‘New World’ to centuries of slavery and colonization. The racist backlash to the 1619 Project — also known as the 1776 Project — is yet another inelegant White supremacist trick, disguised as a call to national unity at the expense of legitimate explorations […]

Wealth gap will continue to weaken Black and Brown power — even as the majority population

This is a national security issue in the making … W. Kamau Bell’s “The Wealth Gap” episode from his United Shades of America CNN series will air tonight, which triggered me to think about a specific racial crisis America will face two decades from now, if economic inequity isn’t addressed. “Sometime after 2040” is what […]

For those who think wearing a mask during a pandemic is communism …

They have no clue of what freedom or communism looks like. It’s time for me to address this connection some of you are making between wearing a mask during this pandemic and communism. Communism is a system of production and distribution of goods and services. Socialism is a system of production and distribution of goods […]

Them on Amazon is a very violent series, but you should stream it

The show uses the horror genre to cover an awful and unspoken truth about White supremacy. I remember former Last Poets member Felipe Luciano telling an audience that art is useless if it doesn’t slap the shit out of you, or make you wanna slap the shit out of someone else. My guess is that […]

Blame White supremacy

Instead, we all blame each other for our problems … People seem to forget a few points in all the online clamor about the rise in violence against Asians. White-on-Asian violence is White supremacy. Black-on-Asian violence is White supremacy. The whole “model citizen” label given to Asians is White supremacy. Asian-on-Black violence is White supremacy. […]

You can’t ‘heal’ White supremacy — a bloody lesson from America’s Civil War

Republicans talk about “healing” more than “justice” today. Sounds familiar … Remember when President Abraham Lincoln wanted the country to “heal” after the Civil War ended in 1865? You know, back when the current Republicans’ ancestors were Democrats who owned slaves, were whole White supremacists, became separatists by creating their own country in America called […]

White supremacy matters: the Trump coup and case for overdue justice

You can’t ‘heal’ White supremacy. Exactly a week after this fake Christian death cult I keep writing about attempted to overthrow the US government by overrunning the US Capitol, many legislative members from the Party of No Brains — supposedly fearing the cult’s potential for hurling death threats — defended Coup Inciter in Chief President […]
