If It Was Your Family - Would You Bury Two Murdered Siblings With The Sibling That Murdered Them?

I will not relate this tragic story in words here, it's too gruesome and tragic. Please read about this story here. I understand that in time of serious grieving and unimaginable pain, folks make decisions that don't always make sense. I respect this family's decision, but if it was my family I would have never been able to agree with the idea of burying them all together.

I could never imagine visiting that grave site with all three names on the headstone. How can you not be reminded every time of the devastating tragedy that occurred? If it's a question of money, I believe that public would assist this family with burial expenses quite willingly.

Otherwise, this is simply an extraordinary expression of forgiveness and understanding by this young man's family. I really can't imagine I would have ever been able to muster up that must courage to be that forgiving. God bless them and those lost little girls. May they have all the help and love they need to rebuild their family and their lives.

News That Makes Sense - The Average Rush Limbaugh Listener Is 67 Years Old!

Good article here from Vanity Fair on good old Rush. It makes perfect sense that the average listener for Rush is 67. That is an entire generation of white males that had decades of being Masters of the Universe without any consideration of women or people of color. They have lived long enough to see the world as they knew it, turn upside down. Can't say I felt sorry for them one bit. I think Rush Limbaugh is the consolation prize they deserve. They can spend their remaining golden years listening to him spew racist and sexist stupidity until the Lord comes calling!

Nia Malika-Henderson Thinks First Lady Michelle Obama Is Doing Too Much - I Think That Ms. Henderson Needs To Do More Thinking Before She Writes

This is "journalist" Nia Malika-Henderson. She thinks after barely 60 days as First Lady, that Michelle Obama is doing too much. The stupidity of this conclusion by Ms. Henderson, says a great deal about her skills as a writer. With folks referring to the First Lady as "trash" and as a "bitch" this knucklehead wants to pile on with some tired crap about her doing to much?

And where's her research, her facts to back up this inane commentary? Surprise! She doesn't have any. Jason Linkins of The Huffington Post clowns Ms. Henderson on her "extensive" fact-finding from "some people." And my fellow blogger Oliver Willis makes quite clear what he thinks of Ms. Henderson's "story" and her advice for First Lady Michelle Obama.

It is also clear that along with not being much of an investigative reporter, Ms. Henderson is not a student of history. Many first ladies have had extremely busy schedules, robust agendas, and large population of folks they wanted to reach. From Eleanor Roosevelt to Hillary Clinton, most first ladies have been quite busy. And one thing that should have been quite clear to Ms. Henderson when she thought this bullshit up, there is no one way to be the First Lady of the United States of America.

Where is the consideration for the first African American woman to serve as First Lady? Of course, she is high profile. Of course, her schedule is busy. And as a black woman, Ms. Henderson should know better, if Michelle Obama tried to be more reserved, more hidden from view, that would be a problem too. Michelle Obama can't win for losing and she really doesn't need black female journalists piling on her with fake stories like this one. It's unfair and irresponsible.

I suppose it never dawned on Ms. Henderson that Michelle Obama might be setting a NEW standard for first ladies. And why in the hell does Michelle Obama have to follow what any other First Lady from the past has done? Clearly in terms of nearly every aspect of the post, she not being treated the same as past first ladies, especially by the media or the right wing cabal.

And on a personal level, it truly pisses me off that any black person would contribute to this the Obamas are "doing too much" debate launched by folks that want them to fail at everything. The Obamas got where they are by doing multiple things well at all times! Most successful black people have the same habits.

There never seems to be any middle ground with people when it comes to black folks. When we are struggling, we are lazy and looking for a handout, when we are succeeding, we are doing too much and need to slow down. That's just crazy talk.

I can't say how long it has been since I enjoyed watching a show that was not trying to hit you over the head with explosions, nudity, or bloody carnage. What a relief to watch something sappy, sweet, and sassy, all at the same time!

Memo To The Chief Of Police In Dallas, Texas - Forget Your Apology, This Officer Should Be Fired Immediately!

This clown has no business being a police officer. His job is to protect and serve the public, not fuck them over at a traffic stop when their loved one is dying in a hospital. This absolutely, positively, outrageously racist behavior. I am also damn sick and tired of police officers pulling their guns as a first resort in nearly every situation. Was this dude really going to start shooting unarmed people over running a red light?

Being a police officer is a damn hard job and the public deserves the best people in the world serving as police officers. Not folks who think their badge gives them the right to lecture people and push folks around. I give credit to Chief of Police for apologizing, but this officer still didn't get what he did wrong even after viewing the videotape of his actions. This dude is not qualified to serve, he should be fired, period. I hope the family sues.

Reason #401 Why Sarah Palin Will Never Be President - She Only Wants To Pray With Certain Folks Including Only Certain GOP Folks

What in the hell does Palin mean with this doozy of a quote: "And the McCain campaign, love 'em, you know, they're a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray." Read and watch more here.

I have never heard of anything so stupid in regards to prayer. If you feel the need to pray for strength and you need someone else to do it with, what difference does it make who they are if they are ready, willing, and able to pray with you?

Does this woman think that folks on 9/11 were spending their final moments looking around for the "right" folks to pray with or did they grab the hand of the first HUMAN BEING available and began praying with that person if they were willing or already praying themselves? I think the problem is that Sarah Palin doesn't think about anyone but herself.

Not Happy With Their Endless Racist And Sexist Attacks On First Lady Michelle Obama - Now The GOP Want To Try To Regulate Her Public Service

All of this disrespect toward the first African American First Lady has changed the game forever.

The only time Michael Steele has been elected to anything was RNC Chair and that took multiple votes. Now, he want to run for President? And other than hustling the RNC and the GOP for his daily bread, Steele has failed at nearly profession he has tried. And he wants to be President? I'll say one thing for this dude, he does not lack for ambition.

On a sidebar, he should just stop talking about the smackdown he took from Rush Limbaugh. There is no way he can spin that. He talked trash about Rush, Rush put him on blast, he got scared and he apologized. End of story.

I think both intros are stupid and a waste of time. Either go warm-up or sit your ass down on the bench. I can get why the Lebron and his boys are playing around, they have the best record and best player in the NBA, but Shaq and the rest of the Suns have been a crappy team all year and are struggling to get back in contention for the 8th seed in the West.

A Rant In Three Parts: Part Three - When It Comes To Insulting The First Lady, Tammy Bruce Is A Lightweight, But Burt Prelutsky Is An Allstar Asshole

So much for post-racial America. The bald-ass creep pictured above is quite comfortable referring to black folks as racist while spewing his own racist and sexist crap. Not to mention this hate-spewing dude claims not to understand why Michelle Obama might have had a reason or two to question why black folks would hesitate in always being proud of America, while providing more evidence as to why Michelle Obama may have reached that conclusion in the first damn place.

So, forget Tammy Bruce. She's just another Miss Scarlett that would have turned a blind eye while Master Rhett Butler bent Prissy over the kitchen table for a non-consensual quickie. The Burt Prelutskys of the conservative world would be like Chuck D says, getting you "bruised on cruise" - a slave ship cruise that is. Prelutsky is an old school racist and throwback sexist that does not see the hypocrisy and hatefulness of his own slanderous words.

Check out his latest vicious attack -

"Take Michelle Obama...please. Every time I turn around, there she is on a magazine cover. Now, normally, like the Mafia, I lay off the spouses, but inasmuch as this particular spouse attended the same racist church as her hubby for 20 years, I'll make an exception in her case. After all, in spite of the fact that affirmative action got her an Ivy League degree and a $7,000-a-week salary and, moreover, has sent billions of dollars for no particularly good reason to Africa, she insists this is a mean country. The burning question in my circle is: if the First Family gets a female dog, will she be the First Bitch or will she have to settle for second place?"

Yet, just like Tammy Bruce don't get mad, be thankful. We should thank Punk-Ass Prelutsky for his candor. It's official. No person of color has to ever again show any respect to any white woman that ever serves as First Lady. The gloves are off now, the illusion of civility and respect for the position of First Lady is over. Since conservative white folks think its perfectly okay to refer to the first African American woman to become First Lady as "trash" and a "bitch", we should accept their nastiness and return the favor, but in a different way.

As black women and as black people, let's have a very long political memory. When 2012 rolls around and good old pure as the driven Alaskan snow and the shining example of conservative white womanhood, Sarah Palin tries to run for President, let's remember Prelutsky's words about Michelle Obama.

Let's remember when the so-called playing field was equal that once again white folks didn't play fair, didn't follow their own rules, and didn't show the same respect when it came to competing with people of color. Let's remember their ugliness, their cowardliness, and their evil. Let's make sure that Sarah Palin never gets elected to the Presidency. Let's make sure that the Republican party stay the minority party for a very long time.

First Lady Michelle Obama is a strong, classy woman. Name-calling isn't going to phase her one bit, but our failure to remember and take action in the future will cause harm. Remember, don't get mad at these conservative yahoos, they are all upset and bent out of shape for a reason. They aren't in charge anymore and they are pissed off about it. Get empowered to keep them right where they are. Remember the old saying - "Bottom rail on top now, massa."

A Rant In Three Parts: Part Two - Tammy Bruce Doesn't Know A Damn Thing About The Black Experience - Not A Damn Thing

As Dirty Harry says "A man's got to know his limitations"... so does a woman.

Tammy Bruce's limitations in understanding what First Lady Michelle Obama was talking about in the first damn place is clearly apparent. Somebody should tell her whiteness is showing. If white folks want to critically comment on black folks lives and their personal experiences, then white folks like Ms. Bruce need to work a bit harder at being informed and insightful about the black experience before they start running their mouths.

I would imagine if any researcher decided to collect data on African Americans possessing an undergraduate degree and one advanced degree, they would discover that this group of African Americans would most likely have one disheartening shared experience. I would bet money that the average African American holding more than one degree has been challenged at least once in their lifetime of "acting white", "sounding white" or "wanting to be white" by another black person.

I would also be willing to bet that those same black folks that have been subjected to such lunacy had the same response as First Lady Michelle Obama. The reading is for white folks, speaking the Queen's English is acting white, and getting good grades means you want to be white, is a fucked up psychosis that has hampered the black community for years. This limited mindset has infected too many in the black community and subjected many others in the black community to an additional fuck-up pressure they don't need.

If Tammy Bruce knew anything about black people or gave a damn to know anything about the black experience before shooting off her mouth, she would have known that Michelle Obama's story is shared by many other African Americans. It's a fucked up problem, but it's our fucked up problem. We don't need any incorrect and ill-informed interpretations from someone like Tammy Bruce. And we sure as hell don't need a white woman saying that an educated black woman that enunciates and articulates clearly of having a "weird, fake accent."

And since when is telling children of color to achieve the best they can in their educational pursuits and offering your own successful experiences as an example, a problem for anyone, much less patronizing? Isn't that stuff that black conservative intellectuals like John McWhorter are always saying themselves or does that make them trash too?

A Rant In Three Parts: Part One - Why It Doesn't Matter A Damn That Conservative Radio Host Tammy Bruce Called First Lady Michelle Obama "Trash"

First, Fuck Tammy Bruce. She doesn't matter. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Bruce a few days ago, she's smart, funny, and attractive woman. With that said, she's also an asshole. She gets paid a lot of money to be that and she's good at it. She doesn't care what folks think and she doesn't care about the anger or pain her comments may cause other people.

That's not part of her political or professional agendas and it's also not how the game is played. She's either on the lecture circuit, got a new book coming out soon or working overtime to get named as one of Keith Olbermann's Worst Persons In The World. And in terms of her conservative female counterparts, she running way behind the Ann Coluters and the Laura Ingrahams of her world. She has to say something fucked up, to get caught up.

Quite frankly, this insult doesn't make any problems for black women in the world or for supporters of Michelle Obama. No black woman over the age of 21 should have any illusions about what certain kinds of folks think about us. First Lady Michelle Obama is not going to lose a wink of sleep over some low-rent smack talking by Tammy Bruce. And if "trash" is the worse thing that Michelle Obama gets called over the next four years, then she should consider herself lucky.

Truth be told, Ms. Bruce's below the belt crack is more of a problem for black Republicans and conservatives. Those folks know exactly what Michelle Obama was talking about and they also know that Michelle Obama isn't trash. Those folks know EXACTLY what Michelle Obama has accomplished and what she represents, especially to women of color in American society.

Empower yourself and send an e-mail to Michael Steele or Dr. Ada Fisher or some other prominent black Republican or conservative. Make them explain Tammy Bruce. Ask them do they agree with her and believe that First Lady Michelle Obama is trash. Ask them is this the kind of treatment that African Americans, Asians, and Latinos can expect from the Republican party and conservatives, now and in the future.

Don't get all upset and excited about Tammy Bruce. Her catty comments are calculated for the type of audience she attracts. She has to make comments like that to keep them listening and believing in the bullshit conservatism has become. How sad and pitiful is it that these folks need to believe the worst about First Lady Michelle Obama to feel better about themselves? We shouldn't get upset about this kind of stuff any longer, we should be amused, gloating, laughing, and celebrating.

In fact, we should thank Tammy Bruce. Is it wonderful to know that an educated, beautiful, and charismatic black woman like First Lady Michelle Obama has shaken conservatism to it's roots? Her "thunder" and "lightning" biceps along with her Ivy League education is just slaying them. Damn, one bad sista from Chicago's Southside bringing conservatism down to its knees. You gotta love it!

I worried about this "toxic assets" plan and I'm really worried that Obama does seem to have enough of a handle on this dude's grand plan. And the few experts I kind of trust their opinions are smoking the hell out of Obama and Geithner. I am just having a very hard time buying into an economic plan that insists on keeping in power the same folks that got us into this horrific mess in the first damn place.

Regular readers of this blog know that Professor Tracey loves her L.A. Lakers and the Kobester, but after that horrible Laker loss to the 76ers on Tuesday and watching LeBron James dismantle Portland in overtime last night for his 7th triple double of the season, it's all over - LeBron James is this season's MVP.

He would have to become suddenly absolutely horrible and his team would have to lose a bunch of games and then Kobe would have to go completely crazy for me to change my mind. Kobe is still the best player in the NBA, but LeBron wins games by himself and with his teammates. Kobe can dominate and win by himself, but he just can't always get the rest of his guys to rise to his level.

Reason #5,783 Why Sarah Palin Will Never Be President - She Wants To Reject 45% Of The Stimulus Funds For Alaska

She's happy to use government funds to kill the hell out of wolves, but she gets all fiscally conservative when it comes to education, unemployment benefits, public safety costs, etc... for the human residents of Alaska.

Considering the sad state of education in Alaska, you would think Palin would not turn down $160 million in funds allotted for education from the stimulus. Particularly since she doesn't seem to have any other clear plans to fix the education system in Alaska.

And this is funny as hell considering that Palin is suddenly turning down any federal funds, since she has been the Queen of taking federal funds and earmarks through out her entire short career as Governor.

Unless the world is predicted to be coming to an end and the American people want to go out laughing, Sarah Palin will never be President of this country. Who would want this woman in charge of education, economic policy, military defense or health (particularly sex ed) for all the citizens of the United States?

The Hard Truth About The Lack Of Diversity On TV - Hollywood is Just Not Interested In Producing Quality TV Shows With Minority Characters

I am sick and tired of the NAACP and media acting like the lack of diversity on television is some kind of shocking story. The sad truth is Hollywood keep developing that same old ghetto-ass crap black shows with the same sub-par black actors. Here's an idea - Stop recycling the same old tired stereotypical black characterizations and the same old tired, boring, stereotypical story lines - and do something really original.

I don't want to see another black reality show. I don't want to see anything with LL Cool J or Cedric the Entertainer in it. One House of Payne is enough. How about hiring Wood Harris for a pilot instead of non-actor Michael Strahan! Girlfriends was a major hit for many years, why does not one actress from that series have a development deal or another series at this point?

What white TV executive got suckered into believing that D.L. Hughley was going to be a hit as a late evening news host? How many books and screenplays by black writers never even get a first look? What in the hell ever happened to the careers of the dudes in New York Undercover? And wouldn't it be nice to see Regina Taylor or Kimberly Elise on television each week?Authors Paula Woods, Grace Edwards, Valerie Wilson Wesley, Eleanor Taylor Bland, Pamela Thomas-Graham, and my boy Chris "Nat Turner's Revenge" Chambers, all have black female detective characters that would be awesome weekly TV series. Wouldn't be wonderful to see Klea Scott, Jurnee Smollett, or Aunjanue Ellis playing a intelligent, resourceful, attractive female detective every week?

Wouldn't it be cool to see a sci-fi genre show with black folks? And I don't mean Homeboys in Outer Space. How about a black secret agent show like MI-5? What about a good old-fashioned black-themed soap opera like Dallas or Dynasty? Why is there NEVER a show with black characters like Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me or Brotherhood? Hell, I want to see a show telling what in the hell black folks were doing in the same era as the hit show, Madmen is set.

There are some many completely original projects Hollywood could develop on television for minority actors, particularly African Americans. They just aren't interested in doing that and that's a fact. It's time to stop acting like it's anything different.

Poor Laura Ingraham - She Just Doesn't Have Enough Brains or Human Compassion To Get Why She's Wrong As Hell

After getting called out by the ladies on The View and Meghan McCain, poor little Laura Ingraham is crying foul. Poor thing. She just doesn't get it. I'll try to help her out.

Ms. Ingraham,

First, you are not a natural blonde, so it is not an insult to call you a “peroxide” blonde. It's a statement of fact. Second, if you have to keep explaining your fat crack about Meghan McCain was "satire" when no one even the victim thinks it was satire, then it wasn't. It's was just what you intended it to be, a personal insult to shut her up. Unfortunately for you, it didn't work, she's still talking.

Third, Rush Limbaugh is fat and an idiot, the difference between Rush Limbaugh and yourself, is that Rush can dish it out and take it. Unlike your 44-year-old self getting all bent out of shape over the words of a 24-year-old amateur political pundit from your own party.

And lastly, stop being a liar. You clearly attacked Ms. McCain about her weight because you had nothing to say about what she related as political issues for the GOP. Be honest about that and be proud of your nastiness. If you want to copy Ann Coulter, follow her lead, if you're gonna be a bitch, be one all the way, all day. Don't throw rocks and then try to hide your hand afterward.

And once again, Ingraham is 44 and McCain is 24, she can't handle someone half her age better than hitting below the belt about her weight? Ingraham is nothing but a powderpuff intellectual if she has to go to such sad lengths so early in the game.

If this is the best she's got to get at Ms. McCain, then clearly the GOP is a lot lower in the mud than people realize. What happened to Republicans not talking badly about one another? President Ronald Reagan must be spinning in his grave!
