    Alex Poucher, a heavily involved member of Anonymous, sat down with Frank Ancona, Imperial Wizard of the Traditional American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan this Sunday. The two groups- Anonymous and the KKK- have had a feud over the last month regarding how to respond to action in Ferguson. Following the release of a controversial flyer by the KKK, Anonymous members took over the KKK's national Twitter

    #FergusonSpeaks As law enforcement officials and national media gear up for a St Louis County Grand Jury’s announcement as to whether it will levy charges against Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for the August 9th shooting of Michael Brown Jr., activists have issued a 9 minute video communiqué providing an intimate look at the climate on the ground. The video communiqué displays a cross section of the myriad groups activated in the region and includes exclusive footage of Vonderrit Meyers Sr., Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III, celebrated artist and HandsUpUnited.org cofounder Tef Poe, Taurean Russell, Lost Voices organizer Low Key, Millennial Activists Unite…

  4. A Black man's view of Daniel Handler's Racist Remarks During the National Book Awards. The idea that when I search for Jacqueline Woodson and National Book Awards I don't get information about her accomplishment first, I get news about the "Racist" comments made by the night's MC Daniel Handler (of Lemony Snicket fame). I was at the event it was a sea of white folks. All of the people who were so bent out of shape about the stupid joke could care less that there were virtually no Black people in the audience, at arguably the most prominent book event of the year. Of course the media could care less about us and utilized tremendous energy talking a…

    It ain't easy being a celebrity or high-profile public figure these days, unless of course you are Kim Kardashian who makes a lucrative living off of being an airhead exhibitionist. Unlike other female celebs sniveling about the omnipresent paparazzi, or the hackers posting nude pictures of them on social media sites, Kim relishes any opportunity to flaunt her assets. Her popularity is the 8th wonder of the world. Elsewhere, hardly a week goes by where those who have gotten what they wished for, upon getting it, are now burdened with the stress that comes with success. Superstar athletes who, between cheering up their fans were beating up their loved ones, have fal…

  6. Oh the humanity! Why, Tavis why!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6COpmxyEA0A When did the brother get so fat? OK if they offered me money to prance around in a wig, I probably do it too, but I don't have any money. But if I were a Tavis Smiley there is no way in hell I would do this unless I really needed money. It has simply been fascinating watching Al Sharpton go from Morton Downey to the White House while Tavis goes from respected journalist to Dancing with the Stars. Then again who ever thought Bill Cosby would be accused of rape by 15 different women.

    Social Media Bots Offer Phony Friends and Real Profit "...a giant pyramid scheme has emerged on social media, where fake friends now command real money." Earlier in the year I attended a presentation given by Black Enterprise (BE). BE is a publication I respect and have supported for many years, I sold countless subscriptions to the magazine for years, though not as many in the last few years. I also subscribed myself, though not currently. BE held a presentation on social media in which they touted the benefits of using the major social media platform to promote your business. I'm already a bit tight because I feel BE should be pro…

  13. Not only were social media sites not an alternative forum for discussion, social media users were less willing to share their opinions in face-to-face settings. So says a study conducted by the Pew Research Center and fielded August 7-September 16, 2013 by Princeton Research Associates International. Over the last few years as activity on these discussion forums has decreased (quite substaintially), I often contemplated why. I recognize that social media takes up more of people time, including my own, but I also recgnize that social media is not a perfect subtitue for a forum like this. In a forum like this one has the opportunity to see everythi…

    Well, the mid-term elections are over and the voters have spoken. The message sent by the majority of these typical Americans who went out and voted was that they are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. Implicit in this message is that they don’t like Black leaders, Hispanic aliens, Gays, Feminists, or Environmentalists. They’re against same-sex marriage, a woman’s right to choose, separation of church and state, health care for all, raising the minimum wage and lowering the interest rate on college loans. These Fox News junkies reject gun controls, support murderous cops, and approve of a macho military. They’ll tolerate low taxes for the rich but hate h…

    On a daily basis I see things on my Facebook wall that demonstrates how easily we can be manipulated into believing that something is true, when it should be obvious that it is not. Facebook, for example, has been putting a lot more video on my newsfeed lately. I've started to notice a lot of videos that are clearly fake. However, based upon the comments posted, people believe these fake videos to be true. It is very scary how easily we can be fooled. For example, I saw a video posted by someone I thought was pretty sharp. They used this video to prove how skilled the martial artist Bruce Lee was with nunchucks, which is a weapon made of two, foot-long sticks, co…

  25. Actually as far as I know there are no daily newspapers left in the United States. But in a post-racial American this matters very little. I'm quite confident Ruppert Murdock's, Wall Street Journal and Jeff Bezos' Washington Post has us covered in the print dailies. Plus, with the gift of the World Wide Web, we have up to the second coverage of all that is important to us as Black people. Our most significant sources of news of importance to Black people is amply covered by the Huffington Post. What else could we possibly need? Surely the few remaining Black owned newspaper must realize they are no longer needed or wanted--subscriber rates should te…

Lee brings into focus what pervasive father absence stereotypes have distorted - real fathers who are involve…

The latest goal of any self-respecting celebrity is to be nominated to participate in a ritual that will benefit a charity established to finance research on ALS, a devastating disease that evenutally totally incapacitates its victims. So what better way to show your support for finding a cure for this fatal affliction than to have a bucket of ice water dumped on your head? Doing this generates a donation to this charity - or something like that. The other requisite is to make one’s participation in this ceremony official by providing a video of the event to be made public via the various media outlets.
