Really now. The day after Amendment One passed, I received two phone calls from mainstream media reporters asking for my opinion on the “black vote” in support of the amendment when there was no exit polls or even data showing how blacks voters split on the marriage discrimination ballot initiative. They were feeding into the [...]

Homophobia, mysogyny and hip-hop — these are topics that I’ve blogged about quite a bit; that’s why it’s meaningful that an artist with street cred (and controversy) in that milieu like Jay-Z comes forward to make a statement in support of marriage equality. Not a small thing in the world of hip-hop. Good on him. Rolling [...]

Everyone knows the story of Zimmerman and Martin. Obviously we support Zimmerman and believe he is innocent and that he shot a thug. Each target is printed on thick, high quality poster paper with a matte finish! The dimensions are 12″x18″ ( The same as Darkotic Zombie Targets) This is a Ten Pack of Targets. [...]

Just an FYI, in the wake of Amendment One, actually Wednesday and Thursday, I was deluged with requests by news outlets and radio programs  for comments about North Carolina, the President’s coming out for marriage equality, or both. That I kind of expected. What I was also asked about by some reporters was the inevitable [...]

Ah, yes — colorism is alive and well and is boldly on display as luxury carmaker Acura “apologizes” for a clusterf*ck of a casting sheet for a Super Bowl ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld that looked for an actor to play an “African American Car Dealer” whose role details indicate he will be “Nice looking, friendly.

Wow. Breathtaking point of view from the editors at My Fox 35 Orlando (link dead now; screencap 3:50 PM, 4/8): Does anyone down there at FOX35 know how to use “the Google?” The National Socialist Movement is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. NSM ideology mirrors that of the original American Nazi [...]

And the right wing said it wasn’t about race (on their side), didn’t they? Neo-Nazis have never been affiliated with the left; they’ve always been on the fringe anarchist/chaos/gov’t overthrow wing of the GOP, because there’s no way these white supremacists would vote Dem. After all, that party is polluted with black, brown…you know, the [...]

Naturally, this is the work of a coward who wouldn’t do this in broad daylight or on camera. I welcome acts like this — albeit out in the open — so these fools can take pride and ownership of their “work.” I won’t hold my breath for it to happen. (Raw Story): Ohio State’s University [...]

Give Hamilton Nolan at Gawker props for lasting a whole weekend with these cretins. The Ku Klux Klan, which is actually seeing its numbers decline, even as hate groups tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Center have numbers rising, is a look into the past. Actually, not so much the past, but the quaint time [...]

The smokescreen of civility and concern for “protecting marriage” that National Organization for Marriage has always been bullsh*t, but the publication of its divisive, racist strategy to pit the black community against the gay community — a tactic used by anti-LGBT groups around the country, including Tami Fitzgerald’s Vote for Marriage NC has been a [...]
