Sarah Palin was on SNL this weekend. She is not funny. She “raised the roof,” further fueling the stereotype that white people over 40 have difficulty letting go of urban expressions (can I get a “Whoomp there it is”?). She…

That’s him holding me as a baby…for real…

Psssst….Ok that’s not really me…my mom didn’t play that with all the barrettes. Hat tip Yes We Can Hold Babies.

I really miss Dave Chappelle but I’ll give him a pass since he seems to be up to “family time.” Still, if he could resurface to do maybe 30 minutes of stand-up about the election it’d make a lot of…

I’m not sure if I’ll be in the mood for the debate tonight, but after jamming out to this video I can pop in a movie instead. Knowing that hip-hop is playing a crucial role in this election process gives…

I wish that I could account for as many bingo squares in the scratch-off lotto ticket version as I can in Non-Threatening Black Male‘s brilliant “Blipster Bingo.” That kind of money would get my phone turned back on. Hat…

I’ve pretty much tried to stay out of the race-relations fray when it comes to this “very special episode” of the American Presidency known as Election 2008. The main reason is a rather shallow one: my nerves won’t allow me…

After the meaningless nonsense of the past few days, in fact, past few years, I’ve finally accepted that Black Love is in a bit of trouble. I ADORE Black Love itself – as corny as it may sound, there’s…

Oh heavens.
