Sidney Poitier, who paved the way for Black people in Hollywood during a time when Blacks worked as janitors and cooks on studio lots, becoming the first Black to win an Academy Award in 1964 (Lilies of the Field), passed away a few days ago at the great age of 94. I don’t normally rhapsodize…

The Republican Party has fully embraced tRumpism, with barely educated Congress members and even senators Tweeting the most juvenile, ridiculous, and asinine posts I have ever read from supposedly mature adults who represent us at the political level. Though one of them has been recently barred from Twitter for her silly anti-vax posts, and hopefully,…

Young people played an influential role in the 2020 election. Youth voter turnout rose significantly compared to 2016, and young voters’ strong preference for President Biden (61% vs. 37% for former President Trump) was key to his electoral victory. That said, nationally nearly four in 10 young people (ages 18-29) voted for Trump, and the…

I wish every anti-vaxxer could be shipped to some other planet. They are the reason everyone else keeps getting sick, why our hospitals are bursting with ill people, and why ER wait times are now up to twenty hours in many places – my mother, who is double-vaxxed & boosted, has underlying health conditions and…

I remember very well some of the stories my late aunt told us about caring for elderly White people in nursing homes. Many of these people were extremely prejudiced, one of them so much so that she often bragged to the Black nurses about how they used to “string them niggers up!” back in the…

Tucker Carlson taped episodes of his right-wing show from Budapest whilst praising the city as compared with New York City, which he declared is so threatening to conservatives that they must hire armed guards – a declaration so outlandish that it makes you wonder how this ignoramus ever landed his own show, even on a…

It appears to be cruising at three knots in the middle of nowhere.ON THE BOATA HUMAN HEAD appears from below beck, rising until the entire form of DRAYTON WHITE, late…

FADE IN:INT. – DEN: DAYAn older WOMAN, early 70s, is relaxing on the comfy sofa watching some type of talk show featuring several WOMEN seated at a table JABBERING on about a celebrity couple.The front door OPENS and CLOSES out of sight. Then a young GIRL appears in the doorway, fighting back tears. Alarmed, the…

As a kid, I never really thought about racism or the effects racism has on people because even though I lived in a racist society in a country founded upon institutional racism, it simply never bothered me – not until I was a teenager and realized certain truths, that is. But as a ten-year-old, for…

Last year, there were just 15 days in which the police did not kill anyone which meant that there were 350 days during which the police took someone’s life – and by the numbers, it was usually more than one death some days. Black people are still three times as likely to be killed by…
