I’m completely disgusted with the mother-daughter hard-core porn performers of Tampa. Known professionally as the “The Sexxxtons,” Jessica, the mother, and Monica, the daughter, have created a kinky tag-team website and just released a DVD to promote their family-owned porn business based in Tampa, Florida. Both mother, a blonde, and daughter, a brunette, often engage […]

I’m not always up-to-date on the latest men’s fashions, but I do know where to draw the line: Kanye West’s skirt. Yes, a skirt. During last week’s 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden benefiting Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, West, 35, performed wearing a black leather skirt and leggings. I realize that some artists are a […]

When NBC pre-empted Sunday Night Football to broadcast President Barack Obama’s heartfelt address to nation about the tragic massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, racists quickly took to Twitter. “Take that n****r off the tv, we wanna watch football!” one bigot tweeted. “Obama you stupid sand n****r get off my tv,” another racist complained. “Your […]

Rob Parker only opens his mouth to change feet. Parker is a knucklehead sports analyst who deserves to be suspended from ESPN after his ignorant racial comments about Robert Griffin III, the prolific rookie quarterback of the Washington Washington Football Team. Parker was suspended by ESPN last week after creating a firestorm of controversy  when […]

It’s heartening to learn that some NFL players are turning in their guns. Since Jovan Belcher’s murder-suicide last week, several African American NFL players are correctly starting to reflect on how loaded weapons can destroy lives. “In the last seven days, at least seven players around the league have gone to their league security officers […]

I hope Rhonda Lee gets her job back. In fact, she never should have lost her job over a short Afro hairstyle in the first place. Lee, an African American meteorologist, was recently fired from the ABC affiliate in Shreveport, La., because she responded to a racial remark posted by a viewer on the station’s […]

I was sipping a beer inside Cowboys Stadium and waiting for the kickoff when I overheard two African American women criticizing Robert Griffin III, the superstar rookie quarterback of the Washington Washington Football Team. The emotional beat down of Griffin was harsh and had absolutely nothing to do with football but everything to do with […]

Would Michelle Obama run for President? It’s been a recent topic of conversation among some black Democrats in Washington, D.C. ever since Samuel L. Jackson put it out there. “Michelle is Superwoman. What can’t she do?” Jackson told Newsweek. “That’s why people love her. She can be on the Supreme Court and anywhere else she […]

The nation’s corporate hotel industry is woefully failing to hire African American managers and minority-owned companies in a fast-growing, overwhelmingly white trade, according to a new report released by the NAACP. The NAACP’s Report Card graded the five largest hotels –Marriott, Wyndam, Hyatt, Starwood and Hilton — for ethnic diversity and racial inclusion. While Marriott […]

Mitt Romney can’t be trusted. During this month’s presidential campaign, the billionaire Republican couldn’t be trusted to tell the truth about his hidden off-shore bank accounts; he couldn’t be trusted to come clean about buying companies, gutting them, and firing thousands of employees for his own personal gain, and he certainly can’t be trusted while […]

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. owes his loyal constituents something he hasn’t offered them lately: Honesty. Speculation over Jackson’s health, the investigation involving alleged campaign finance misconduct and his whereabouts has reached a fever pitch in Chicago and even Jackson’s most steadfast admirers are demanding that the clandestine congressman explain his mysterious five-month absence from […]
