Irina Rodnina (pictured next to a wooden cat who has more feelings than she) is the famous Russian Olympics star who was seen by millions on Friday as she carried the torch that lit the Olympics flame. But then alert media reminded us all that she was the same woman who issued a racist Twitter […]
The “#MyRightWingBiracialFamily social media effort was started by conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, and where she used social media to start a campaign encouraging conservatives who are in biracial families to post pictures of them is commendable. Especially because her early anti-President Obama takes ventured into areas that were arguably quite racist. Oh, and this aside: […]
USA TODAYIn television, it’s never good to end a successful sitcom series with people shouting “Racism!” at you on Twitter. That’s the situation faced by CBS’s How I Met Your Mother, which concludes its ninth and final season on March 31 and hoped for a happy swan …Asian-Americans up in arms over ‘How I Met […]
Nelson Mandela, perhaps the greatest living human being of our generation, passed away at 95 years of age. I will remember exactly where I was when it happened: on United Airlines Flight 3570 from Chicago to Atlanta this night. When we touched wheels at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, I turned on my iPhone and the […]

Dez Bryant was, as this blogger has asserted, making technical arguments, and not a “gimme the ball” rant that the media immediately interpreted in a great example of media institutional racism. As the video shows, Dez Bryant was the slot receiver in what looks like a three-wide-receiver offense, but in reality is four wide receivers […]
Texas Lt. Governor David Dewhurst has called for the impeachment of President Barack Obama and over, of all things, the Bengazi Embassy Attack: something the Texas politician knows nothing about, except what he sees on Fox News. But what this blogger discovered about David Dewhurst (who has no power to make an Obama Impeachment happen, […]
Nina Davuluri won the Miss America crown on Sunday, becoming the first Indian American to be so honored. That’s should be a cause of celebration, but in America’s complex society, so much so that it’s beyond the comprehension of many, some respond by being racist, and in the process show that the USA’s very march […]
Aaron Alexis, the Navy IT specialist who went on a rampage and killed 12 people at the Washingon Navy Yard on Monday, is part of a new, emerging breed of black male: one I called weak-minded, and willing to take extreme action against others over small issues. In the past, mass killings were considered something […]
Miley Cyrus’ performance at the MTV VMAs was called sexy, raunchy, leud, but to say it was racist, or that Miley Cyrus herself is racist for twerking is just plain crazy. Yet, there’s a group of people out there, who think that twerking, sexy dancing, and giant dancing bears equate to a reference to black […]
My issue with what “Geek Culture” has become, today, is that it has little to do with science and space exploration and colonization, and too much do with mindless, selfish, fantasy. It used to be that we had a group of people who were interested in pop-culture’s expression of a tech future paced by space […]
Juror B29 says Trayvon Martin was murdered by George Zimmerman Just a week on the heels of the first juror to come forward and express her view of the George Zimmerman Trial verdict, another juror, this one who calls herself “Maddy,” and was officially designated “Juror B29,” has shown her face in public to say […]
Paula Deen has been dropped by the Smithfield Foods organization out of Virginia, and just three days from Food Network’s decision not to renew Ms. Deen’s contract with the television organization when it expires. Here’s the Zennie62 video explaining what happened: This is the simple statement that Smithfield Foods released: “Smithfield condemns the use of […]
Paula Deen. When the Food Network celebrity chef thought it was no problem in making racist n-word fueled comments about every black person from kids to President Obama, she reportedly knew there was a risk, saying that if the media caught her, she’d be in trouble. Well, that’s what happened this week, when the same […]
Samantha Power was, some time ago, it seems, one of this blogger’s favorite candidates to be what she has become: UN Ambassador replacing Susan Rice. What I’ve always liked about Ms. Power, from a distance, is a keen mix of fearless observation, rapier intellect, and incredible good looks. I’d also, long ago, wrote that she […]
Pro Football Weekly. After 46 years, Pro Football Weekly has published its last issue. The publication I read religiously when I was a teenager, and because it had the only reliable and detailed account of the 1975 Dallas Cowboys Offense, and their employment of pre-shfting, is no longer. According to its Publisher and editor, the […]
Adam Goodes’ was the target of a racist taunt by 13 year old, and a Papa Johns Pizza Employee in Sanford, Florida goes on a racist rant: Two racist incidents that have captured pop culture view, and provided a lesson for us all. First, Adam Goodes is an excellent soccer player, who plays professional Australian […]
The San Francisco Super Bowl L Bid was successful. It, really, if you think about it, surprisingly, beat back a formidable Miami and South Florida Super Bowl Bid, where Miami has hosted the game a record ten times. After the press conference, where San Francisco 49ers Owner John York, his son Jed York, and bid […]
Jason Calacanis has an issue, which is unfortunate. In an unnecessary response to my blog post (Jason Calacanis: Ah, Gawker, Mr. C Knows There’s Racism In Tech) pointing to several encounters with me which proved that, contrary to his assertions in Gawker, he does see that there’s a race problem, just chooses to do nothing […]
On Monday, Thomas C. Frazier was appointed “Compliance Director” by U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson. In this position, Mr. Frazier will have complete authority over the Oakland Police Department, including the ability to set in motion the dismissal of the current police chief, Howard Jordan. Given Thomas C. Frazier’s alleged track record as police chief […]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hN0orl_dTQ Christopher Jordan Dorner Uncensored Manifesto And Racism. Christopher Dorner’s giant manifesto has received a lot of attention. And well it should. It reveals a man torn apart by the realization that the system isn’t fair and is racist, and so he responds by killing members of the LAPD. But Dorner has killed people of […]
Christopher Jordan Dorner is the fired / retired Los Angeles Police Officer and former Navy Lieutenant. He’s 33 years old and for a set of reasons he details below, has elected to wage war against the entire Los Angeles Police Department. This space sends its sympathies to the slain officers and civilians. As this is […]
OK, the NFL issued a statement in the wake of its most terrible record of diversity in hiring in some years. In doing so, the National Football League placed a wedge between itself and team owners, in effect pointing to the race problem without including the league office itself. Here’s the statement just sent to […]
When this blogger was first informed about Salon Editor-At-Large and MSNBC Contributor Joan Walsh’ book What’s The Matter With White People, the first thought was “What The F—?” Is Joan playing with the fire of white guilt or what? There are so many directions to go with that title that it made this one’s head […]
Wow. Let that sink in: “Barack Obama Reelected 44th President Of The United States.” President Obama won reelection gaining 303 electoral votes to 206 for Governor Mitt Romney. Obama also won the popular vote, but just barely. The lessons from this victory are many, but this blogger thinks the paramount one is that Mitt Romney […]
Social Media has exploded, no doubt, but Pew Research gives us a great idea of just how much it’s become a part of our daily lives. According to its newly released study called Social Media and Political Engagement, 60 percent of adults uses social media, and of that, 66 percent use it to express political […]
Because she was traveling, famed soccer star Hope Solo asked via Twitter for a Presidential Debate update. Her tweet: Another Flight! Somebody update me in the debate! Humor me please! #fb — Hope Solo (@hopesolo) October 17, 2012 The response from this blogger was that President Obama kicked Mitt Romney’s ass. That calls for some […]
Hickory, North Carolina should fire the police officers stationed at 3rd and Tryon Street, at 1:30 AM, Wednesday, September 5th, 2012. I left the CNN Grill at about 1:05 AM, and walked in search of a cab. From memory, I walked out and immediately turned left, and walked a good three blocks down that street […]
Newt Gingrich just appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, and came away with a performance that earned him Top Twitter Trend status, and hundreds of unflattering Twitter Tweets. If Mr. Matthews intended to expose GOP racism as the core of its political strategy, he did that. By asking Newt questions about some of his […]
Gwyneth Paltrow did something Paris Hilton has never done. Even as Ms. Hilton has been called a racist by some for allegations that she used the n-word to talk about Blacks regularly, the fact is not only has that not been proven, the other fact is that Paris never once allowed a social media message […]
Can CBS San Francisco, which consists of KCBS and KPIX, lay off the black male misery stories? If it’s not murder, or drugs, it’s this one that popped up in my Google Alert about Oakland, which is titled “Special Ceremony Held In Oakland To Honor African American Students.” Here’s a taste of an online post […]
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, a guest on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday to talk about his support for President Barack Obama, instead talked about his support for Bain Capital and private equity firms. In the process, Mayor Booker almost totally blew the Obama Campaign’s message. The question is why? Why would Mayor Booker do that? […]
George Zimmerman, who killed Trayvon Martin after pursuing him just because the 17-year-old fit a racial profile Zimmerman had hard-wired into his brain, is out on just $150,000 bail (or about $15,000) after his Friday bail hearing, where the judge granted the request. The photo is of George Zimmerman and his wife Shellie – thanks […]
