Black Men And Their Secrets - Senator Edward Brooke

Whenever I hear black men getting all hot and bothered over less than 1% of black women "thinking" or "actually" dating white men, I always remember their complete silence about black men tippin' with white women, particularly high profile black men. Now Barbara Walters, who doesn't need another dime or one more ounce of fame, is confessing to a long term affair with the first black man to be elected to the U.S. senate, Edward Brooke. I find this revelation not only disappointing, but disgusting! Black folk were catching hell when this dude was in office and he's sneaking around with Barbara Wah-Wah?

I don't give a damn who black men date or prefer, but it burns me up that black men want their cake and eat it too. Cheating on your wife with any woman, black or white is a damn problem, but black men that want to whine about racism and how hard it is to be a black man in America, but want to sneak around with white women bugs the hell out of me. Juanita Jordan earned every dime of her divorce settlement considering how MJ embarrassed the hell out of her for years with that Karla Knafel character.

Not to mention Charles Barkley appearing in photos like this and refering to himself as a "nigga" while being married to a white woman. If you want the white woman, take the heat that goes with it, out in the open and stop whining about racism. You're a pretty free black man in this country if you feel empowered enough to jump into bed with a white women.

Wacko Couple Alert - Cannon Marries Carey?

Yesterday reports were being issued that Mariah Carey married Nick Cannon. I could care less, but this is a wacko celebrity match. I give the marriage three months. And their future divorce judge should force them to stay married for three years! I hate the mockery that famous folks make of marriage!

D.C. Madam Takes Own Life!

I'm not saying she did not deserve to be convicted, but I am always troubled by these call girl ring cases where the women are prosecuted and the men (the johns) get off completely free. Senator David Vitter should have been sitting in the court room right next to her. Elliot Spitzer should be facing charges as well! And Senator Larry Craig's freaky ass still has his job after getting caught cruising in a bathroom. Women still always get the short end of the stick!

Black Folks In Indiana Feeling Ignored By Obama

I kinda agree with this Time magazine article. Other than a few tv ads and bashing the hell out of his former pastor, black folks in Indy ain't heard much from Mr. Obama. I wonder if he is going to pick it up a bit before the May 6th primary?

The 2008 State Of Black America On Black Women

I'm gonna have to disagree with my buddy and blogging sister SheCodes on this one. Before you get your hair and nails done on the 1st of the month, you need to go to The Urban League's website and pick-up both the 2007 and 2008 State of Black America reports. Black folks always need to be informed! These reports are compiled from the Urban League's think tank comprised of black folk. We need to support, read, and critique their work! Purchasing these reports also supports The Urban League, so if your lazy butt has not given any donation to a black organization in a hot minute, here is your chance. For cheap asses, at least read the free abstracts!

Black folks need to stop complaining about observed, watched, critiqued, and reviewed, WE ARE A VERY FASCINATING TRAIN WRECK STILL RUMBLING DOWN THE TRACKS! Yes, we need a game plan and we need to take action on it, but too many of us know absolutely nothing! I don't want to battle with ill-informed warriors. If you didn't like the MSNBC profile on black women and the soon to be another slanted profile on black men and women on CNN in June, then take the time to find out if our own people did any better by reading The Urban League report! In fact, buy all the reports for the last five years and read them!

2008 NBA Playoffs Update

My Los Angeles Lakers have crushed the Denver Nuggets to take a commanding 3-0 lead. Looks like Carmello and A.I. are going to have a nice long summer to add more tattoos to their bodies.

The Houston Rockets despite winning one game over the weekend, just can't beat the Utah Jazz. I wanted Tracy McCrady to win his first playoff series, but it's all but certain that he will be helping Yao with his injury rehab early. The San Antonio Spurs have just kicked the backsides of the Phoenix Suns. Shaq Diesel and company need to win today to keep from being swept, but they are going to lose the series either way.

The Atlanta Hawks won a great game last night, finally looking like a professional team, but they are going to lose their series as well. The Boston Celtics are just too good and the Hawks were taunting folks at the end of the game. You don't piss off KG and the boys in green. The most boring series is the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors. The Magic have a 3-1 lead and the Raptors lost even after a monster game from Chris Bosh. The Raptors will soon be extinct.The Dallas Mavericks got back into their series with the New Orleans Hornets but I believe that my boy Chris Paul and company will bounce back strong.


The other boring series is the Cleveland Cavaliers and The Washington Wizards. It's no fun watching LeBron James carrying his team all by himself and it's no fun watching the Wizards trying to smash James. It's just not pro basketball to me. I'll ride with the Wizards for my boy, Caron Butler, but I don't think they can beat King James. They just can't stop pissing him off. Don't they know that you don't tug on Superman's cape? I picked the Philadelphia 76ers to beat the Detroit Pistons, but I was having a fantasy. I didn't know the Piston would actually entertain my dreams. Go 76ers!!!!!

Democratic Party Beginning To Worry About Racial Divide Within The Party...And They Should Be!

In typical Democratic party fashion, they are late on the upswing again. At the 11th hour, party officials are worrying about the effects of Hillary Clinton's racial rhetoric directed at Barack Obama on internal party politics. Further, it's just starting to dawn on them that if the super delegates give the nomination to Hillary there will be a monstrous black voter backlash against the party. I'm sorry, but hello, the writing on the wall with these facts happened over two months ago.

Hillary lost me when she and her supporters seemed to forget that black women have dueling perspectives in this difficult world. Also, her negatively going after Obama's former pastor while counting on Obama not to mention old Billy boy's past indiscretions, I find to be extremely problematic. She also seems to be pandering to white voters as if black folks don't matter. If she gets the nomination, will black folks continue not to matter then as well?

Black folks are already non-believers about the criminal justice system, I believe this primary campaign has the potential to turn black folks into non-believers about American politics.

No Justice For Sean Bell

The police officers that murdered Sean Bell were found not guilty today. I can't say I'm surprised, but it doesn't change the anger and disappointment I feel. How can police shooting at someone, anyone, 50 times not be a problem? If it is not a breakdown for the criminal justice system, it is surely a breakdown in NYPD police training. One officer alone squeezed off 31 shots, is that NYPD procedure? If it is, black men should leave NYC immediately.

I find it very interesting that the defendants went with a judge only instead of a jury trial. I think it speaks volumes that the defendants and their attorneys didn't feel comfortable with a "jury of their peers."

The saddest part of this case is how passively black folks seem to be taking it. The uproar about this verdict has been mild. Black folks will really be in trouble when we start being completely resigned to being victimized. I hope his family files a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the city.

Barack Obama - Hillary Clinton Battle Comes To The State Of Indiana

On May 6, 2008, Professor Tracey will get to vote in the first Indiana primary to have major significance in many, many, many, many, many years. The buzz is hot as the Obama-Clinton battle is very close in the state of Indiana.

As exciting as it is to be a part of a presidential primary that has some much riding on it, I'm being to wonder how much longer can this battle go on before it begins to seriously damage the chances of the Democrats taking over the White House. I believe that Obama will win my adopted home state of North Carolina, but Indiana could go either way.

I'm not saying that Obama needs to get dirty, but he could be a bit tougher on Clinton. What do you think?

2008 NBA Playoffs Game #1 Recaps

It was an awesome weekend of NBA basketball. Even though I picked the Suns to win the series, the Spurs double overtime victory was the best game of the weekend. Chris Paul was amazing in helping the Hornets kick the butts of the Mavericks. As was Pau Gasol helping my Lakers smash the Nuggets.

The Celtics demolished the Hawks, the Jazz killed the Rockets and the Raptors got ran over by the Magic, all three games were boring as hell. The Wizards talked trash and roughed up King James, but forgot to win the game as the Cavaliers prevailed. And dreams do come true because the 76ers upset the Pistons.

Can't wait until the next round of games.

The Sad State Of Black Film-Making

What is up with black films? Where are black movies of the caliber of There Will Be Blood or No Country For Old Men? Love them or hate them, these films were great movies with great characters. Where are the risk-taking and innovative black filmmakers? We have great stories to tell and great heroes to tell stories about. The Great Debaters was good, but not great. American Gangster was over-rated. A Raisin in the Sun was disappointing and a remake. I can't name one black film that I am looking forward to seeing in the near future. It not that we don't have black stars or the money. That's just not true anymore. Our black filmmakers need to step up their game.
