Anthony Weiner is in love with his penis, aren't most men?



Aside from the birth of the Royal baby, the news has been preoccupied with former U.S. Representative and current New York Mayoral candidate, Anthony Weiner's obsession with sending strangers pictures of himself. What a scandal! A man, a man I tell you, is obsessed with his penis and can’t help but show it off! I mean, from a very early age they become enthrall by it, and let’s be fair, they have to handle it every day…several times a day! How could the world possibly be surprised? Wait, the world isn’t. Only in America is this news. Maybe not all or even most men are sending pictures of themselves to strange women, but a lot are, and who cares? Yes…yes…I know…he is in a position of power…he was a Senator…he has an obligation to the public…Yes, all of that is true, but again I ask, why is this news?

It’s not really, but it sells and it distracts us from the real issues the country is facing at the moment. Just like the Royal baby, Anthony Weiner’s “scandal” is a way for the media to distract the people from the really important issues. Why discuss the failure of one of America’s largest cities (Detroit), talk about the states working overtime to deprive people of color the right to vote, figure out a way to fix our broken education system, or the fact that the GOP is working overtime to defund SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or food stamps, when we can be all-consumed with the consensual “selfie” sending of adults, one who happens to be in the public eye?



I could care less who Weiner sends pictures of himself to. What I do care about is the GOP’s relentless effort to turn America into a feudal nation. It matters to me that the Republicans have vote 39 times to repeal Obamacare. For three solid years, this is what they have been focusing on. Not creating jobs, not replacing the country’s crumbling infrastructure, not finding a way to feed the 16.7 million hungry children in this country, or even attempting to fix the bevy of other problems facing America.
But per usual, this is not the scandal. The “scandal” is Weiner’s pictures…should we forgive him... should he be elected Mayor...God Bless America…and pray for him to disable his phone’s camera.

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? Okay, Black men who have "issues" with Black women are nothing new. 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...
