So after the dust settles, who was the real winner last night? Cable news. (Some would say Barack Obama, who was re-elected to a second term. But, let’s be honest here, being president sucks.) Reports are coming in today that, though down from 2008’s race, ratings were stellar, with CNN taking home the prize for […]
Are black people being oppressed during the zombie apocalypse?! Let me back up for a minute. One of my favorite shows in the world is The Walking Dead. The show takes place in Georgia in a world overrun by biters, walkers, geeks – otherwise known as zombies. If you haven’t seen the show, you must know […]
“George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” Kanye’s words weren’t elegant. They were far from well spoken. As a matter of fact, I had a hard time figuring out what they hell he was actually trying to say, but I felt him. As incoherent as his words were, I felt ‘Ye 120 percent, because what Kanye West […]
He’ll run into a burning building at the drop of a hat, he’ll run down robbers in the blink of an eye, and he’ll even shovel your driveway in a snowstorm. Newark, NJ, Mayor Cory Booker is more than a public servant, he’s a hero. Yes, this is a blog about how awesome Booker is. […]
This love triangle between Karrueche, Chris Brown and Rihanna will never stop – it’s like the Energizer bunny. PHOTOS: Rihanna Cousin Disses Karrueche!

Lance Armstrong is having a really bad couple of weeks. The United States Anti- Doping Agency (USADA)published a damming report accusing him of cheating, stripped him of his seven Tour de France victories and banned him from cycling for life. He has lost major sponsors such as Nike and Anheuser-Busch and is now viewed by […]
If you watched the second presidential debate last night, then you’re probably aware that Governor Mitt Romney blamed unwed parents as the cause of gun violence in America. For many, that analogy is just as preposterous as saying Big Bird is at the root of the national deficit – but wait, Mitt Romney said that, […]
Congratulations goes out to Blac Chyna and Tyga! The couple took to Twitter last night to break the news that King Cairo has entered the world. When the news first broke that she was having Tyga’s baby, the “Rack City” rapper got hit with a bit of criticism. People called him stupid for having a […]
When it comes to Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Karrueche Tran, there is no one young or old who doesn’t have an opinion about them as individuals or their love triangle as a whole. Karrueche is the faithful girlfriend scorned and Chris is torn between the two, but has anybody really taken a moment to analyze […]
Dear Commissioner Ray Kelly, As a 20-year-old black male, I have to be quite frank with you in saying, your behavior is troubling to me. However, I am even more concerned with the tendencies behind the implementation of the Stop, Question & Frisk policy. With just a skim review of the New York Police Department’s Stop, Question […]

Since Lil Wayne was released from Rikers Island back in 2010 — after doing an eight-month bid for a gun — things with the rapper have been … well, off.
