• Random Thoughts on Black Men: Part II

  So Long The music artists Eminem and Carrie Underwood both have infamous songs regarding a significant other who’s wronged them.

• God Bless America

  

  At the beginning of this nation’s history, an oligarchic system was created that only granted freedom to wealthy white land-owning men. This nation was established on the backs of countless slaves and natives. Fast forward to 2017, and now we have an openly bigoted POTUS.  Hate crimes in Charlottesville, Virginia, have rocked the nation to…

• Farewell, Sense8

  

  Adios Amigos… The people closest to me know that I’m not too big into many primetime tv shows on the air. It took my wife months to convince me to finally watch Breaking Bad and The Wire. To be honest, the only tv shows I view outside my marriage (couple shows are a thing, single folks) is…

• We’re All Niggas Now

  

  AMERICAN HISTORY X This Nation’s foundation was built on shaky ground. From the massive land grab from indigenous peoples to the enslavement of Africa people to women being seen as only baby making machines, America hasn’t been so great for everybody. The creation of a racial caste system meant that we would be separated (based…

• The Deplorables and How to Fight Back

  

  There is no love lost for Hillary Clinton by me personally. I believe her and her faction of the Democratic Party, represented the Neo-liberal wing of it. Their ‘so-called’ pragmatism has failed so many millions of people. She had too much baggage; her campaign and the Democratic Party elite partook in the same Chicago Democratic…
