• School’s Out

  

  The Tale of Two Cities  This week, Chicago’s Public School doors are closed…just like they once were several years ago when Rahm Emmanuel was the Chicago Mayor. At the end of 2019, before the dawn of a new decade, the Chicago Teachers Union and their comrades at Service Employees (SEIU) Local 73 have retaken to…

Because he might have asked a foreign government to investigate the ‘so-called’ Democratic presidential frontrunner, former Vice-President Joe Biden. Speaking of the former Vice…

• The Week in the Stories Around the Globe

  

  Justin Trudeau Wore Brownface at 2001 ‘Arabian Nights’ Party While He Taught at a Private School The United States has a long and painful history of white performers darkening their faces to demean and dehumanize African-Americans—a practice made popular by minstrel shows in the 19th century.

• The Joke’s on You

  

  For the Fellas   During the past couple of weeks, I’ve watched both Bill Burr’s and Dave Chappelle’s recent Netflix specials. I’m a fan of both comedians and was probably Dave’s biggest fan in the early 2000s.  Unfortunately, in the age of Trump, everyone has become a troll. Both funny men used the queer community,…

• A Day at the Museum

  

  My Journey to the National Museum of African American History The Souls of Black Folks I was skeptical when I heard about the opening of the National Museum of African American History. Would we get another watered-down version of black history?  This museum was over a hundred years in the making and well worth it.…
