In Honor Of Black History Month Let’s Talk Voting And Integration

One thing that sometimes irritates me about an aspect of modern-day Black thought, or new blacks, as they are sometimes called, is the criticism of Rev.

These Phrases Take Accountability Away From Jerks And Should Be Banned

I believe in the statement that you teach people how to treat you.

I, Too, Bleed America

I am not superhuman, and I’m certainly not subhuman. If you cut me, I bleed, If you hurt me, I cry. If you stab me, I die. I do not have super strength. I can’t kill you with my bare hands. My presence scares you, but that’s just your projection. …
