Black in America: A New Reality TV
On Thursday October 21st, CNN aired Black in America: Almighty Debt, a new addition to the series that previously created a ton of discussion in the black community and well…every other community. I didn’t even know this was on TV until I saw people on twitter mentioning it—primarily with disdain and uncomfortableness. I was initially [...]
The Scapegoat: Eddie Longstroke
Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard about the messy situation with Bishop Eddie “Hide ya kids” Long (He shall be referred to for the duration of this post as “Longstroke”) and the many accusers who seem to be popping up. Ehh, perhaps popping up was a poor choice of words, but you know [...]

Detroit: A True American City
If you follow me on Twitter (shameless plug) you know that I was on a corporate tour that had me in a couple Midwest towns these past two days. While I’m setting the stage, shout out to Right Coast Lex Steele for subbing in for me last minute yesterday while I was in Detroit. Visiting [...]
