Keith Ellison Tears Up At Hearing On Muslim-American 'Radicalization' (VIDEO)


This entire event is an exercise in nasty xenophobia­. It is time for Americans, all of us, to let these ignorant people know they alone cannot claim this nation. Muslims are just as much as Americans as anyone else. Religion does not determine whether you love your country. I have heard people refer to this as akin to the McCarthy hearings. I agree. It also smacks of the internment of the Japanese, the questionin­g of giving rights to African-Am­ericans, how Hispanic-A­mericans are treated, and so on. The common theme is the fear of the “other.” King claims he is trying to understand Muslim hate of this country, and that is a lie. Flat out. If he truly cared about the security of this nation, he would be looking into all groups who may have terroristi­c ideals. It seems to me, if you are white, you are American. If you are brown, you are a terrorist. People have come to this country for time infinite because they believe in the ideal. Muslims are no different. This is a waste of time and money, and I am certain there are some who, if they didn’t have ill feelings before, will have them now.

To (some) Black Men...why though

Apparently it is super trendy for (some...before the "not all" chorus lifts every voice and sings) Black men to "drag" black women on social media. My question: why though?? What is going on?

As a Black woman who is "darker than a brown paper bag," I am quite familiar with all the old tropes: "Black women are too ghetto...don't wear their own hair...don't respect Black men...have too much drama...are loud...destroyed the Black family..." etc., ad infinitum. But here lately, it seems, Black men are well and truly taking issue with us in every imaginable way. Tyrese, French Montana, Trick Daddy, and the like all seem to have, what I am sure they deem, serious grievances with Black woman, and I just don't get it. And let's not talk about the "Hotep" brothers who are quick to, in the same breath call the Black woman God and tell us we need to stop ...

Political blog hiatus is over... just in time for the fall of the Republic

Well Loves, I am back from my..um.. 2 year-long political blog hiatus, and it appears I am just in time for the fall of the Republic. Donald J. Trump is the cotton-picking President of the United States! I will admit, on the night of the election, as the results came in, I cried. Though I was not a big fan of Hillary Clinton's, I most certainly did not want her to lose to the man I call "Cheeto Jesus!" Come on America! Seriously! We go from a professorial President, to one who couldn't spell "professorial" if you gave him the first eleven letters. But, as Americans are wont to do, we dealt in extremes, and handed the country over to a political novice with Neo-Nazi, anti-Semetic, misogynistic, and racists tendencies. *High-Five* Trump has been in the Oval for 87 days, and the world has seen a host of missteps, accusations of incompetence, and of course, the high drama that are his ties to Russia. We could view a timeline of the insanity occurring by way...
