If you recall, Grace, who is biracial, caused quite a stir when she appeared in the […]

You don’t have to drink and drive to catch a DUI nowadays. You just have to be Jessie Thorton, apparently. The 61-year-old retiree was arrested and charged with a DUI, even though his blood alcohol level came back a 0.00. And no, there was no glitch in the Breathalyzer test. The reason he was arrested?

I know what you’re thinking. “How the hell was Arthur racist? Or inappropriate? PBS would never allow that.” But the nasty truth is…they did. And it wasn’t until I was sitting down reliving the ’90s with my best friend (which I do more often than I want to admit) that I realized some of our […]

I said it before and I’ll say it again, Kanye West is a genius. Many people might think he’s a racist, he’s mean, or he’s an angry black man….No! He gets it. It could seem like ‘Ye went on the whitest show on television – SNL – and gave White America the finger, but that’s not […]

Well, that looks like it hurts. Keith Luke, the self-proclaimed White Supremacist/racist that arrived in court with a swastika carved into his forehead in 2009, is finally back in front of a judge for his three-week murder trial.
