  2. In light of the story in the news about the teen in Calumet City (shot and killed by police after his mother called the police to assist her in dealing with him ), I wonder why people are calling the police in these cases to begin with. Maybe it's just me but I would think that the police would be the LAST people a black family should call to help with an out of control teen - especially a boy. I always thought it was common knowledge in our community that the police couldn't be trusted and that if you did end up having to call them, be prepared to be treated like a criminal, even if you're the one needing help. But I'm starting to hear more and more about people ca…

    Hello, Recently I was invoved in a project sponsored by a group known as ACAM, an organization which invited authors to utilize its site to make monthly installments of their books available on a pay-as-you-go basis. This plan, while innovative, was plagued with the gliches and complications that made its implemation problematic. So, now, I have elected to withdraw from the ACAM experiment and, instead, take advantage of the exposure provided by this site. Thanks to the kind indulgence of AALBC’s founder, Troy Johnson, starting next Monday, I will be serializing my novella in a chapter-a-week format, right here on "Cynique’s Corner". Hope you'e curious e…

She is being disrespectful. As hell. Period. Point Blank. End of Discussion. 2.) White privilege conditions white people not to see white rage. However, it makes them hyper-aware of Black threat. Newt Gingrich is white rage personified. And for it, he gets loads of applause. So is Jan Brewer, but usually we think of white rage in masculine terms. Gender stereotypes condition us not to see white women as being capable of this kind of dangerous emotional ou…

  11. An Open Letter to the Financial Press: Is It Because I’m Hip Hop? In recent weeks, coverage of prepaid debit cards launched by Suze Orman and Lil Wayne has repeatedly portrayed me as a “celebrity endorser.” Some of these stories have gone so far as to depict my RushCard business in the same light as the ill-fated Kardasian Kard. The truth is, eight years ago I invested millions of dollars, putting my reputation on the line to found UniRush LLC. With the issuance of the first RushCard, I created the first Prepaid Debit Card Account, requiring no linkages whatsoever to a consumer checking account. Today, millions of Americans manage their financial lives with the…

  14. Admittedly, I'm biased; I go out of my way to support anything featuring Black folks on any platform or media. The film Red Tails is another example. I've had a page setup waiting for the publication of a review for a couple of weeks: http://aalbc.com/reviews/red_tails.html Unfortunately, that review will not be available until AFTER the film has been released. My reviewer can not view the film until Friday. This is not normally a good sign and generally indicates a weak film as negative reviews can kill an opening. Rottentomates, my main source for film reviews, as of the time of this post (1:20PM GMT -5) only shows one critic's review: http://www.rottentom…

    Well, this is the year that all the ancient prognosticators have calculated to culminate in Doomsday, - come December 21st. If the Republicans win the election, I'd say this prediction sounds pretty accurate. The age of America being a nation of citizens who look out for each other will be over. The false prophets wrapping themselves in religion, waving the American flag, disguising their greed as fiscal responsibility, couching their bigotry in a cry for a return to the "good ol days" while turning the struggle to survive into a class war, will be who represent the Apocalypse. Or - will the Age of Aquarius prevail as the stars prove the dire interpretations …

    Talk about starting out with a bang and ending up with a whimper! America has unceremoniously pulled out of Iraq after the “shock and awe” of this war was reduced to weariness and futility. With this evacuation, Iraq is now responsible for its own security because the enemy has not been routed and this land is still in danger. Lotsa luck. What did this ambitious mission accomplish? It was a military action that killed thousands of people, laid waste a country, cost billions of dollars, alienated our allies, and polarized America. Did waging battle on foreign soil deter terrorism in the homeland? No. Credit for that goes to the CIA. But the brave troops putting their…

    Eating is fundamental in the American experience. We are an overweight nation of delinquent dieters, furtively preoccupied with feeding our faces. And when it comes to holiday menus, nobody pays more homage to food than traditionalists who remain loyal to the time-consuming dishes that are anachroisms in a society which thrives on instant gratification. In fact, cooking from “scratch” is a badge of distinction reserved for those who spend hours in a kitchen, laboring over a hot stove, stirring and tasting, and wiping their hands on their aprons, Blacks, in their soul food mode, especially like to salivate over “Motha Dear’s” home-made recipes.
