I don’t read the Power Line blog that often, because I don’t often read right wing blogs, but when I saw that the Daou Report had linked to their post about Ray Nagin’s election win in New Orleans, I went over to read the whole thing.
The short version is this: Dumb niggers elected the wrong […]
Kudos to Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams has recommended that minister Alfred Owens apologize for blatantly homophobic remarks made during a sermon.
Mayor Anthony A. Williams threatened yesterday to remove a prominent minister from his interfaith council if the minister does not issue a public apology for derogatory remarks he made about gay men during a […]
So, can we call them racists yet?
Oh no he didn’t. It’s amazing what people will say when they think you ain’t in the room.
SNOW: Having said that, I don’t want to hug the tar baby of trying to comment on the program, the alleged program, the existence of which I can neither confirm nor deny.
….
QUESTION: What are your personal goals? What […]
Maybe Bush should try listening to his wife instead of hiding behind her skirts. Normally, I wouldn’t pay much attention to what Laura Bush says or thinks. And that’s usually because she’s usually prattling on about stuff like not believing polls.
First lady Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing […]
The title of this post is borrowed from a fraternity brother of mine, now deceased, who was often heard to utter that phrase to someone who was — figuratively speaking — charging headlong down a dead-end road. Alex would roll his eyes, purse his lips and say “We all have choices, Miss Thang.”
Alex’s words came […]
To the party, that is.
It’s been a busy day, so I haven’t had time to read or write much, but I made a mental note to check out the feature article in the style section of today’s Washington Post, about former Bush advisor Claude Allen (who was arrested on charges of shoplifting and fraud a […]
I haven’t done much writing around about the Duke Lacrosse team rape case, mainly because others have done such a great job of it. Rachel, in fact, has been doing a yeoman’s task on covering it and pushing the discussion in the blogosphere. It seems she’s paid a price for it too, as she says […]
In another great irony of American politcs, the Republicans efforts to win over black voters by appealing to homo-hatred may cause white Republicans to vote Democratic , if any of those those black Republican voters get uppity to run for office as Republicans. Amusing on one hand, yet pretty sad on the other.
"Black Mothers ‘Don’t Reject Gay Sons’"
Really? News to me. That’s what I said to myself when I read the headline above. Then I read further and understood. We’re talking about black mothers in Britain.
In a direct challenge to the perception that homophobia is more prevalent in the black British community, one gay group has […]
No, I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about the picture that the National Republican Senatorial Committee is trying to paint of Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. with their new attack site. The name says it all: Fancy Ford.
It’s the kind of thing that has to be seen to be believed.
Note to New York, if in the future you start looking more like New Orleans, you might need to adjust your expectations about getting help from the government in the event of terrorist attack. Under the current administration, at least.
It ought to go without saying, but in light of the pervious post there are some things in Rev. Irene Moore’s Advocate column on African Americans and same-sex marriage that bear repeating. First Moore cites some data on how marriage equality would benefit black same sex couples, from Jumping The Broom: A Black Perspective […]
I may be on the verge of going into activist mode; to the point that I’m seriously considering sending a membership check to CHADD or ADDA, or any organization that steps up and counters some of the madness that seems to be prevailing over both reason and science where ADD/ADHD is concerned. If I had […]
Another video. This may be the only time I ask anyone to greenlight anything having to do with Willie Wilson. Dean Hamer has a video up over at CurrentTV, about homophobia in African American communities. (Yeah, yeah. He’s a white guy. But that don’t mean it ain’t relevant.) The video juxtaposes sound clips from Wilson’s […]
