That Wholesome Disney Image

Hey, kids! Wanna know what your role model, Miley Cyrus, does in her spare time?

Um. Yeahno. What they said.
Oh, and don’t read the comments at TMZ. We PoC need to watch our stress levels. No, seriously, don’t.

Ignorant Parents In Danger Of Raising Ignorant Children

So here’s the story as I understand it.  Every year at this elementary school they celebrate Thanksgiving by having the kids dress up as pilgrims and “indians”.  Parents, mainly those of Native descent, have begun to object to this for several reasons.  1. It’s a completely inaccurate portrayal of what went on when the pilgrims [...]

And Here I Thought Buy Nothing Day Wasn’t Needed

According to the NYTimes, yesterday was the first time anyone had been killed during a Black Friday frenzy.  I blinked at that, because it seemed to me that something like this had happened before.  Maybe I was just remembering all the times people had been badly hurt and almost trampled to death and extrapolating.  To [...]

Some Truths That Perhaps Have Not Sunk In Yet

Black people in California =/= All Black People
10% of population =/= 100% of the problem

$700 Billion & Counting

So this plan to buy up all this bad debt from big business with taxpayer cash and thus let the government “fix” the economy is not making any sense to me. Mind you, I’m not alone in thinking that a no oversight plan is a bad idea. Of course I don’t think it takes a [...]

I’ve decided this is a special political edition of Punk’d

Why? Well remember that rape kit story? Yeah, so it turns out Palin Had Direct Role In Charging Rape Victims For Exams. She actually cut the funding for the city to pay for it herself! WTF?! Tell me again how she’s a feminist? Tell me again how electing her would be good for women? Even [...]

Biden? Wait, BIDEN?!

Biden?
Biden of:
-”the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean” fame? and
-”You cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Oh, I’m not joking.” and
-Who didn’t even realize that his own state, Delaware, was in the Union and not the Confederacy? And who tried [...]
