On Tuesday, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly made an incredibly racist and sexist remark about Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, commenting: “I didn’t hear a word [Waters] said. I was looking at the James Brown wig. If we have a picture of James, it’s the same wig.” O’Reilly later apologized, but the controversy over his comments […]
Even though it took them forever and a day, Twitter has finally decided to crack down on the racist ramblings of numerous alt-right asshats who have been spewing their venom on the social media platform for years now. One of those booted from Twitter was Richard Spencer, the notorious white nationalist and so-called “father” of […]
Let’s be totally honest here: While economic anxiety did indeed play a part in the election of Donald Trump as President, racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia were also partially responsible for the sudden rise of Trump from a large field of Republican contenders.

There are times when I think we’ve come a long way in this country on the issue of race relations. And I am forever thankful that when my parents raised me, they taught me one very important and fundamental principle to live life by: All people are equal, all are the same, and we all […]
Trayvon Martin, had he lived, would have been 21 years old today. On Twitter, an incredibly touching tribute has been set up to memorialize this young man who was taken from the world far too soon. The memorial page can be found at trayvon21. No doubt you recall that young Trayvon lost his life when a pustule […]
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia–no stranger to saying things that ring of douchebaggery–may have outdone himself during oral arguments Wednesday on a case involving affirmative action. Scalia actually had the nerve to suggest that affirmative action hurts minority students by allowing them into schools that are too academically challenging for them. Yes, he really said […]
Speaking in Chicago yesterday, President Obama told a room of some 14,000 police chiefs from around the country that he has nothing but respect and admiration for what police officers do, but added that he himself has been subjected to police harassment on more than one occasion simply because he’s black: “There were times when […]
