This dude is a clown.
And how come every time I go into Bojangles here [...]

Things are going a wire. All of these deaths of relatively young black American celebrity men . Gerald Levert, Sean Levert, Bernie Mac, MICHAEL JACKSON, now Steve McNair.
Regardless of what Mike wanted, these were all black men. Falling dead either in their prime or in the prime of their careers. This needs to be addressed [...]

That bang is on MY drum. That’s right. My blog is MY drum. It just took me reading several comments from (what I believe to be) members of the white race to realize what my blog really is.
In 2009, I’m bangin on it like I’m at a ZULU tribal dance. I’m bangin on it like [...]

My facts focus on how WE act within our own communities and our lack of respect for one another and how [...]
