For iPhone; I ask because not so long ago, had I said a celebrity had been kicked out of rehab again and had to report back to jail, the first person you’d think I was talking about was Lindsay Lohan. Why?— In and out of rehab, jail, fights, nightclub scuffles, odd pictures on the internet, […]

For iPhone users: We first learned and I first reported on the power of Black Twitter back in the summer after the George Zimmerman verdict.

For iPhone users: Except for news stories or commentaries, I can’t remember the last time I used the N-word. I don’t use it in my private life, not even to refer to my friends or buddies. I don’t call people my N-words. I don’t see it as a term of endearment. And by no means […]
For iPhone users: Yesterday at the White House I met a 19-year-old young man named James Adams who has a commute unfamiliar to most high school students. He says when he was in school he woke up every morning put on his vest and coat and went to school. It wasn’t a fancy, fashionable vest. […]

For iPhone users: First I want to start by praising Jordan Davis’ mother and father for the dignity they’ve displayed throughout this entire ordeal.

For iPhone users: Clarence Thomas says society is overly sensitive about race. I knew it was going to be controversial the moment I opened the email sent to me by my producers proposing a segment on CNN.

For iPhone users: Michael Sam’s acknowledgement of being a gay football player sparked a whole lot of controversy and a whole lot of criticism this week.

For iPhone users: First let me start by giving my condolences to the Martin family on what would have been the week of Trayvon Martin‘s 19th birthday, had he not been killed by an over zealous neighborhood watchman with a gun, George Zimmerman.
