Weapons of our Mass Destruction
Semi-automatic and automatic rifles should be seen for what they are: weapons of mass destruction. No one in this country should have the right to have the capability of killing so many, so quickly.

Jill Scott’s Summer Block Party
Ms. Jill Scott: This was unequivocally her show. She was funny, she was deep, she was mellow, she had the sexy thing down, she looked fantastic and her show was amazing. There's not much else that needs to be said other than: if you ever get the chance, go see her live.

A Brief Review: Men in Black 3
If you're nostalgic like me, you won't hate this movie. Wait, is Will Smith getting older? Nah, 'cause that would mean I was getting older.

Courage Has No Color: A Brief Review of Red Tails
I thought that the film was decent. It moved along, had a nice rhythm to it. I enjoyed the action. The acting was mostly good though I might have cast someone else other than Ne-Yo. I wanted to be more compelled by the relationships that he set up between the characters, but I definitely left the theater with a lot questions, that I hope might get answered in the next installment.

The Curious Case of Judge Lynch
I don't care whether or not Troy Davis killed MacPhail, or if there's #TooMuchDoubt. That's irrelevant to the fact that THE DEATH PENALTY/LYNCHING is the Ultimate Injustice.

No Thanks… I don’t need The Help

Deeply White: Rembrandt Promises to “Whiten on the inside and out”
I found this commercial at best, simply an ill-thought out attempt to be clever, and at worst, a complete and utter lack of consciousness about the still very present and active processes of ethnocentrism and racism which seek to stamp out difference; both literally and figuratively, whiten.
