You Think I'm Racist?

     What's up everyone? Hope you all are doing well today and enjoying this holiday weekend. Over the past few months, I've become a bit more vocal about race issues here in America, as it relates to blacks and the injustice that is often experienced by my people. Today, while debating about the Michael Brown situation in Ferguson, Missouri, a fellow accused me of being racist and said that I'm apart of the problem, simply because I used the words, "my people." I couldn't believe it, and actually found it funny after I read the comment. I think there's a huge misconception about me and other people like me who are discussing these issues, and some people don't truly understand our stance.      I believe the misconception here is that we as black people, can't be all about preaching power to our people, uplifting our people, awakening our people, and fighting for equality for our people, without also not hating white people. It sounds ridiculous

When Phone Test Driving Goes Wrong

So, this past week, my beloved HTC One M8 went bad, and the screen started having some issues. Sad, sad news. Not quite sure what happened, as I don't fumble my phone or anything like that, so I sold it, and got the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to test drive just for a week until the Nexus 6 arrives at T-Mobile. So I've been using this phone for a few days now, and I gotta say, this phone is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Samsung really stepped their game up with this device here. It's very well built, actually, I'd go as far as to say this is Samsung's best built device ever. The metal that's been incorporated into the edges of the device really make a huge difference in the feel of the phone, and I'm loving it.      Moving on, the camera on this thing? Absolutely bananas! I've never had a phone that took such clear pictures. I swear you could see my cuticles on my fingers on a picture I took of my hand. You could see my fingerprints. It's crazy! The screen

Women, men, and Body Enhancements (Oh.. and Dat Booty)

     What's everyone? Hope everyone is doing well tonight. Before I say anything else, let me just say, kudos to Kim Kardashian for the pictures from her photo shoot for Paper Magazine. I know a lot of people, specifically women, will say she's nasty, or a whore, or whatever, but me personally, and not just because I'm a guy, I think the pictures were done tastefully. There use to be a time, not even that long ago, that it was considered an honor to pose naked for Playboy. I remember WWE use to have one of their Divas pose every March around Wrestlemania and those women were honored to do it. It was a big deal because you knew, Hugh Hefner and his staff would take care of you, and make it look tasteful. This is no different to me. Granted, this wasn't Playboy, (which Kim K has already posed for by the way.) but the pictures are done so professionally. It's not like this was a Bangbros photoshoot and she's got her legs spread showing her vagina. It's just a

For my Money, Kanye is Better than Pac

     Now I'm sure all Tupac fans are ready to kill me right now, because in their eyes, Tupac is God's gift to rap music. But, don't get it misconstrued, I'm a Pac fan. Maybe not a die hard fan, but a fan nonetheless. I realize that Tupac was one of the greats of his time, but I also realize that he wasn't the greatest ever in 96, and isn't the greatest ever now. He may be the best selling hip hop artist (or 2nd best. I think Eminem is #1), but as I'm always reminded, sales don't have anything to do with skill or actual talent.        What's funny, is that the reason people hate Kanye, is the same reason they loved Pac. Pac was an asshole. I dare anyone to say he wasn't. I was alive and old enough to remember Pac. Dude was a jerk! But back in the 90's, that was no problem. Pac was in and out of jail. Pac was accused of sexually assaulting a fan, rape ultimately, joked on record (lying according to Faith Evans), about screwing his rivals wi
