Not Going Anywhere (But I Damn Well Feel Like It)

So I get back from my little vacation and find that Black Amazon took down her blog.
I don’t have a lot to say about that, because it should be obvious that it fucking angers me that white feminist bloggers (need I say ‘certain white feminists’? Or name some names? Nah, I’m sure y’all [...]

Nothing Says Internet Popularity Like

Being linked to from a White Supremacist website. Happy Monday!
ETA: Wow, if you all could see my moderation queue right now.
This is the kind of thing that makes people leave the Internet. It really is. I went through a good chunk of my early life never encountering any blatant racism. [...]

Why I Don’t Like To Admit That I Support Obama

Posted by: Naamen Gobert Tilahun
It’s because I’m black.
See when I admit that I support Obama, people (mostly white) get this look on their face and that’s the end the conversation. They don’t ask why, they don’t start a dialogue, there’s just this look. The look is very much like a slap in the face. What [...]

What I Might Do If I Got Really Angry

So every now and then we get some semi-hard core trolls around here who decide to make annoying and stupid posts on every post they come across starting on the front page and going backwards. Or sometimes they start out in one particular conversation and radiate out as we get wind that they’re really [...]

Why I’m Angry - Guns in the Hands of Madmen

Wanna know what makes me angry? I’ll tell you. Hours after a guy walks on to a college campus and kills upwards of 30 people and wounds around 30 more using a gun and several rounds of ammo there is an NRA person on the TV spouting bullshit about how guns don’t kill [...]

Why I’m Angry - Billy Ray Johnson

I mentioned this in yesterday’s post, but I wanted to make a point of mentioning it again. People ask why I’m angry. This is why I’m angry:
Colt, who had been a pitcher at Linden-Kildare High School, took a swing at Billy Ray, hitting him squarely in the face. He delivered a knockout punch. [...]

The drawbacks of being famous

Like I said last week, it’s kind of fun when I’m linked to as an authority on ‘black stuff’ like gratuitous hair petting and whatnot. But all this fame comes at a price. I might also be linked to by a bunch of unabashedly racist bastards like the folks on The Phora Forum. [...]

Why am I Angry? This is why I’m angry mutherfuckers!
