Basically Lynne Johnson, the Chief of the Palo Alto police, has instructed her officers to approach and question any black person they see. She went a step further and stated that they are going to definitely stop any Black male wearing a doo-rag since [...]
Have you guys been to the Oakland Tribune’s website lately? If you have you may have noticed a relatively new feature on the site called “My Town.” This feature allows readers to navigate directly to the news relevant to their city since the Trib is [...]
There are a lot of people that believe that if Barack Obama wins the presidency, that it some how marks the end of racism in this country. I disagree. I think that this election has actually magnified how racist this country still is. Even if Obama [...]
And just when the McCain campaign could have really used a break, the Evil Emperor emerges from his cave and puts the nail in McCain’s coffin. I didn’t think Johnny Mac could have gotten a worse endorsement than that of our Puppet in Chief, but then [...]

This is the 30 minute special that Obama presented this evening. It ran on most of the major networks, but if you missed it or don’t have a TV like me- here it is. I don’t feel like it’s possible to watch him and not be struck by how powerful he is. [...]
So apparently John McCain’s seventh house is actually an apartment he shares with two friends. As you can see from the videos below, he is almost as bad a roommate as he is presidential candidate. Definitely a must watch. Strong language.http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf?59805f5bAbove: [...]
On tonight’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. — a guest via satellite from Sunrise, Florida — was asked about The Bradley Effect among other things. “The Polls have you up,” said Stewart, “but then they keep talking about the [...]
I have a love/hate relationship with Mistah FAB because he can put out some of the worst hyphy minstrelsy ever, and then turn around and produce some real, witty and intelligent stuff. His latest mixtape is the Demolition Men helmed Play Time is Over, [...]
