Kobe’s biggest fan proves that Lakers fans are nuts
This isn’t really a new video, but its so funny I had to make sure that you all saw it.
Now, being a Lakers fan from birth (I knew who Magic and Kareem were and could have recognized them on the street by the age of three) I’m completely entitled to agree with the rest of [...]

Jones – a “new” black mag
I was scanning the magazine racks at Duane Reade in an attempt to find a magazine that I don’t already have for the month. As a self professed magazine addict, that’s a whole lot harder than you would think. However, a magazine I’ve never seen caught my eye. It had a laughing, gorgeous Veronica Webb [...]

Obama’s diplomatic words for Limbaugh and Beck
Rush Limbaugh
Glenn Beck
All Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck seem to do is complain and make outlandish statements. Their fiery words often spark controversy and invite extreme criticism and ridicule from everyone from Keith Oberman to Jay-Z. It doesn’t help that they have many avid followers that believe every single thing they say. If I was [...]

Bush “Miss Me Yet?” Billboard
There is a billboard on I-35 in Minnesota that is leaving people with quite a few questions all because it ask one simple question about former president George Bush:

Ok, so in the last post I told you how you can help Haiti, but just in case that wasn’t enough and you need some convincing and some inspiration…

Now is the time to help Haiti. Here is how.
The devastation seen on TV in Haiti is overwhelming. Up until now I have found it hard to even write about the situation. As the most empoverished nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti simply was not prepared to handle disaster. However, I know that help is on the way because so many people are [...]

Brooklyn Museum of Art’s Who Shot Rock & Roll

Well, I [...]

Michael Eric Dyson on Obama: “Like a black man runs from a cop”
Michael Eric Dyson gets a big “C’mon Son!” for this comment. Once again, can President Obama run the country? He can deal with every race thing under the sun when he is caking from all of his book deals and university graduation speeches after he is done being president. All y’all need to calm down. [...]

Can we stop using race as a political distraction tool?: Sen. Harry Reid’s comments
Sometimes I wonder if there will ever be a time when this president will be able to just do his job. I seems like every couple of months President Obama has to accept an apology from somebody for some race related comment or he gets disrespected in a way that no other president would have, [...]
