Lawyers, Guns & Money

Every day it becomes more apparent that the more laws and regulations government bestows upon us, the less productive we become as a society. Now before anyone gets their panties in a wad – I am NOT an anarchist – I certainly understand why it’s important to protect children and the elderly from anyone who might take advantage of them in any way. But those laws fall under the category of “...

Post “Post-Racial” America

Post “Post-Racial” America

I didn’t know if I was going to make it, but I survived another season of black holidays.  First MLK Day, then Black History Month… I’m not forgetting anything race-oriented that comes up in Spring or Summer, am I?  Because I don’t know that I could handle it. It’s not that I’m racist, it’s that I’m sick of racism. Every January through February the racists come out in full swing...

One Flew East, One Flew West…

One Flew East, One Flew West…

He’s probably on the internet right now, Allen East is, his angry fingers bouncing on the keyboard, himself expounding on the inequalities of the system and carrying the burdens of all the generations of American slavery upon his own mistreated shoulders. You’ll catch his hostile prattle on the black-conservative sites, lengthening the conversation-threads with his well-practiced hostility, cl...

Singer/Songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins: A Voice Worth Listening To

Singer/Songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins: A Voice Worth Listening To

I have been a fan of singer/songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins for nearly 15 years now.  It all started when I was 16 years old.  I was driving home from my job bagging groceries and listening to the radio when I heard one of the most enchanting, sweet and harmonious songs that I had ever had the pleasure to experience.  From its opening instrumentals and vocals to its ending fade out, it absolutely ...

Intolerants Among Us

Intolerants Among Us

From the cradle, most of us are taught certain social mores that make us more tolerable to our peers. Manners, and other “appropriate behavior.” And this is a good thing. It makes us more “tolerable” to those around us. As social mores change, our behaviors change. The “Women’s Liberation Movement” changed a lot of the things we teach or were taught (how many men still stand up when ...

Feeding Government Dependency

Feeding Government Dependency

While Americans are complaining about the administration’s plan to control what they can and can’t eat, a record number already depend on the government to provide their food.

Aborting Normalcy

Aborting Normalcy

My son has always been fascinated by the idea that he once lived inside me. Recently I offered to show him the video of his ultrasound, and he loved it so much that we watched it again a half dozen times over the next couple days. He loves pointing out the easily-recognizable parts of his body, and talking about how the dark space around him is room for him to grow until he’s ready to be born. B...

Sarah,  those Crazy Feminists, and Me.

Sarah, those Crazy Feminists, and Me.

Just let me get this off my chest and out in the open: I love Sarah Palin. Love her. She is everything I always imagined I could be – loving wife and mother, successful career woman, spine of steel, all around kick-ass female.

“Runaway Slave”… a documentary…

“Runaway Slave”… a documentary…

My friends, this is an awesome trailer for a video production in process called “Runaway Slave”. It’s a documentary on issues revolving around “racism” and “conservatives”, among others. It’s being put together by Pastor C.L. Bryant.

The Halfrican Experience

The Halfrican Experience

Having grown up Halfrican, with a black mother and a white father, I have a unique perspective on race-relations, and the ability to truly see both sides of an issue.  The view from here, I’m sad to say, is not always a pretty one.
