I learned something yesterday during Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's press conference. It's very hard to get shoe polish off your face. Of course, why would I have known that? I've never felt the inspiration to put shoe polish on my face. I know that if you draw a mustache on someone's face with a Sharpie,... Continue Reading →
Governor Blackface
One of the biggest criticisms Ralph Northam received while running for the governorship of Virginia was that he's too boring. Problem solved. Perhaps he should have been a little more boring during his med school days. Late Friday afternoon, a photo emerged from a 1984 medical school yearbook that shows a man in blackface and...

DIY Racist Political Cartoon
As soon as Elizabeth Warren's name is mentioned, somewhere a political cartoonist starts drawing her with a tom-tom, tomahawk, smoke signal, war paint, etc. I'm surprised I haven't seen one of her campaign HQ being a teepee (there's a free one for ya', boys). Don't believe me? Do a Google image search for "Elizabeth Warren... Continue Reading →
Mississippi White Vote
Once upon a time in Mississippi, general elections were mere formalities. If you won your party's primary, you won the election. That is if your party was the Democratic Party. My career started in Mississippi and I lived there from 1990 to 1997. Once, I was present when some Democrats were on trial for something... Continue Reading →
Mr. Haterworth
Donald Trump has an issue with black women. He's said time and time again that Representative Maxine Waters has a low IQ, he's feuded with a Gold Star mother who is black and the black congresswoman who defended her, Frederica Wilson. He claimed Stacey Abrams was "unqualified" to be governor of Georgia, despite the fact... Continue Reading →
It’s The Great Racist Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
There's something seriously wrong in this nation when the guy throwing about the word "socialism" to scare people define himself as a nationalist. In the past, Trump said he didn't want to use the word "nationalist" as he thought the "Trump brand" was a stronger label. Voting for a label instead of a leader is... Continue Reading →
KnocKKKing Nike
This Thursday is the start of the NFL's regular season, but as we all know, racism doesn't have an off-season. The Republican gubernatorial candidate in Florida said voting for his black opponent will be "monkeying" it up. There are racist robocalls in Florida targeting those like-minded with a "we the Negroes" theme. The president of... Continue Reading →
BlacKkKlansman
If you make a statement and David Duke gives you a supportive shout-out, you might wanna go back and rethink your position. I don't care if you say, "it looks like rain," and Duke goes, "yeah." You would wonder if there was a racist wolf whistle in "it looks like rain." Laura Ingraham used her... Continue Reading →
Hating By The Slice
The best thing I can say about Papa John's pizza is that it's better than Domino's. But, I can also say that when they deliver pizzas, at least they're not dragging black people behind their cars. Where in the hell did I get that from? I'm thinking that has to be the point Papa John... Continue Reading →
Black Panther
Conservatives are easily triggered. Black president? Triggered. Black people protesting against police brutality? Triggered. Black History Month? Triggered. Black superhero movie? Oh hell yeah. Ben Shapiro, the editor of the right-wing site Daily Wire, has his tighty-whities in a bunch over Black Panther, the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU, if you're a...
