Thanks to Garden State Lady for the following info. Seems like MoveOn is taking a stand against FOX's blatantly offensive "reporting" on Obama (be sure to check out the link to that video; their bias so IN YOUR FACE).....Dear MoveOn member,Over 428,000 people have signed a petition telling FOX to stop their racist and hate-filled smears against Barack Obama. If we hit half-a-million signatures,

As much as I detest looking at this ghoul O'Reilly, I just gots to show you the actual video of Rev. Jackson's comments. This is because I can't believe how many of you had NO IDEA ABOUT THIS or just thought all that was said was that he didn't like Obama "talking down" to Black people. Uh uhhh. He said something WAY MORE OFF THE CHAIN than that.(Hey, but I understand. You're so in love with

After WEEKS of fashion savvy and culturally aware people out there trying to track this thing down, word is that it can be found now at the "Universal News" chain of magazine shops in NYC. As of 2 days ago, on Manhattan's 14th Street had plenty. They're selling them at $15.99 which is the regular U.S. rate for this publication.DON'T LET THIS OTHER MAGAZINE HUSTLERS FOOL YOU!!!!

Okay, interview was so brief that if you blinked you missed it, but here's an on the fly G-n-B debrief....- Mailia (the older daughter, 10 years old) looks like her daddy and Sasha (7 years old) looks more like Michelle.- I LOVED the fact that Malia had cornrows in her hair. America (Black, white and whomever) need to see that some of us are indeed happy with our natural hair - even a future

Quick, turn on the TV right now! The WHOLE OBAMA FAMILY is gonna be on NBC's entertainment show "Access Hollywood." This is a big deal because they have NEVER been interviewed all together before - and for good reason. Barack apparently has told reporters that he does NOT want photos of his kids taken.Shoot, I hear that! It's worse enough they trying to step to the man's WIFE, but the least they

Well here it is! The long awaited cover of the July issue of Italian Vogue which reportedly ONLY features Black models [photo from BlackAmericaWeb.com]....So what do you think? I totally understand all the oddity that goes along with fashion, but still, this cover strikes me is kinda weird. Why they always gotta make us look bizarre, crazed, savage, freaky or animalistic???

Well, this just in, straight from my TV peeps....Venus Williams wins the 2008 Wimbledon Tennis title!!!!Not for nothing, but having watched this from the beginning to end of the match, I can tell ya that although Serena exhibited lots of strength and endurance, overall, VENUS SPANKED LITTLE SISTA'S BUTT on the court.And thing is, I'm not used to seeing Serena break down emotionally, and for the

By now most of you know that the July 2008 issue of Italian Vogue is to be an "all-Black" issues, prominantly featuring Black models on both the cover and the editorial pages, along with stories on Blacks in arts and entertainment. [See New York Times article here]This is groundbreaking considering the virtual LOCK OUT of Black models on the runway the past few years. Used to be you'd see Tyra,

For the THIRD time, Venus and Serena Williams will face each other in the Wimbledon Tennis finals today. Tune in to NBC at 9am.I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I think it's FANTASTIC that these to sisters (and yes, I mean SISTAHS too!) have excelled so much in their careers. It's a win-win situation for Black folk cause you know that now matter what A BLACK WOMAN'S GONNA WIN!On the

Check out this interesting news story about a young Hasidic man, who happens to also be of African-American descent. [click here]What do you think? Some of my thoughts were something like this…- Dude looks like my cousin!- Why he gotta be a “Black Jew”? They never label people “white Jews”.- Why is it always incumbent on Black people to be the peacemakers?- I believe it when they say he’s caught

It's been nearly 3 months since my last post ya'll, but this week's victory brought me out of my slumber. Here's the man himself, more gracious and beautiful than his competitors can ever dare to dream. If ya missed it, hear it go......Notice how, even after Bitchery Clinton spent FOREVER in her speech that night, still trying to convince people she was the better candidate even though she LOST,

This week's speech in Philly on race will be one that colleges and universities, parents and grandparents, will be talking to youngins about for years. Obama kept it real....real intelligent! It's been a while since I've witnessed anyone articulate America's racial divide from the perspective of African-Americans AND whites they way he did.

Last night’s debate was a study in desperation. A desperate candidate (Clinton) trying every thing in her power make Obama loose his cool, but yet again, he maintains his composure. I’ve heard some of the press about this debate and it seems some feel that the moderators were harder on Clinton than on Obama. Well, I don’t know about that. But I will share with you my uncensored play-by-play

Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!!.........FYI, I just want to help clarify that tonight's debate will be on MSNBC at 9pm (eastern standard time), and NOT on CNN.I've already gotten calls and messages asking "Where's the debate?

By now we've all heard about yet another desperate Billary tactic - accusing Obama of plagiarism. But I think Obama himself addressed this best when he said this at last Thursday's debate:"The notion I had plagiarized from someone who is one of my national co-chairs who gave me the line and suggested I use it I think is silly. This is where we get into silly season in politics and people start

Dang! This brotha just won't stop, won't quit.While many of ya'll were focused on that crack-head Amy Winehouse, Obama took home the Grammy for Spoken Word for the audiobook "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream."

Then, wonder of all wonders, we come to find out that Sean "Diddy" Combs of all people was taking a stand by planning an all Black fashion show of his own to re-introduce himself to the show-going public after 5 years of being absent

Wow.....Here I was about to "big-up" Larry King's old azz for having Will.i.am (Obama supporter and creator of the "Yes We Can" video), America Ferrera ("Ugly Betty" and Clinton supporter), and others on his show tonight to talk about youth voter participation this year....and the conversation was okay (if not simplistic and at times downright corny and preachy in a "ABC Afterschool Special" sort

Just saw a fantastic reading of a little known work written by the late, great Ossie Davis called "The People of Clarendon County" at the Schomburg Center. If you are in the NYC area, the reading is brief (about 40 minutes), but the all-star cast and subject matter make it worth seeing.Written in the 1950s, the piece explores the true story of how a group of Black citizens in a South Carolina

Much thanks to Garden State Lady for sending me this article that highlights the dilemma that many Black women are finding themselves in when it comes to choosing Obama or Clinton:http://www.theroot.com/id/44656Quote: "During the 1950's and 1960's black women willingly subordinated their feminist aspirations for the larger goal of black civil rights."

If you've been asking this very question "So who's got more delegates now? Who's in the lead? Obama or Clinton?" for the past few days, then you already know that the news media are not helping to relieve your confusion one bit. At first I thought it was me, but then I read this Wall Street Journal blog that confirmed my suspicians: The media, once again, is playing us for the okey-doke.What do I

Am I the only one who's irked about this delegate system? Or to be more precise, the Super Delegate thing?....Or maybe you're one of those that don't really know how this system works. Well, you can check out this spiffy professional type link here... but here's how I understand on the Democratic side, in G-n-B terms.....- Delegates are people who get to go to the Democratic National Convention (

So the last time I checked in, I was having a major anxiety over all the speculation about the Super Tuesday results. In fact, I was so angst that I turned the tv off till 11:30pm to see things a bit more conclusive, but the pundits still befuddled. The next morning things became clearer, but here we are on Thursday and stuff STILL ain't totally figured out. Here's what I do know....Obama: 13

WAIT! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.... I just saw this great short film on HBO called "African Booty Snatcher." Now when I saw this title listed amongst the chanel's "Black History Month" selections, I thought it was an awful joke unwittingly played by some producer who had no idea what the term connotes in the Black community. Then I thought "Is this some sort of sick adult film they are trying to

Hey Hep Cats,Did you hear that this newspaper "La Opinion," which comes out of Los Angeles and is the largest Spanish newspaper in the whole U.S. just gave B. Obama their endorsement. It's brief, but read what they had to say (the first link is in English, the second in Spanish...any of you funky-bilinguals holla at your girl if there was something lost in translation):http://laopinion.com/
