Would Black America Support Obama if He Had a White Wife?
fter much preparation and practice, the NAKED RADIO SHOW debuted this past Tuesday on PNCRadio.fm. I just wanted to thank everyone that supported the show by listening in, tweeting links and sending feedback. My team and I truly appreciate it. If you had a chance to listen to show you’ll know that we covered a [...]
#53 Do Men Have to Look at Women? (Fighting Temptation)
A few weeks back I was hanging out with my homegirl Bre and her friend Tiffany. After grabbing something to eat at a local diner, the ladies kidnapped me and dragged me along for an impromptu shopping excursion. After tolerating their tedious towel selection process at Bed Bath & Beyond, we wound up at Target. [...]
Black In America 2 (Did Barack Make a Difference?)
A lot’s changed in the year since CNN’s Black in America, a multi-part series designed to show the various issues facing people of color in the United States.

At any rate, the readership, commenters and subscribers (click HERE to subscribe) have grown considerably over the [...]
Inauguration Regrets (Why I Didn’t Go)
Chances are if you’ve asked me if I was attending the inauguration over the past few days you’ve already heard my reply, a resounding, “Hell, nah!” It’s not that I’m not excited or don’t recognize the significance of this moment, I’m just not too big on crowds. For that reason, I’ve never been to Freaknik, [...]
Dear, Barack (Beware the Dinkins Factor)
Before I get to my warning for President Barack Obama, I should probably explain who David Dinkins is for those outside of the Big Apple or under age 25. Dinkins was New York City’s first African-American mayor and had the distinct displeasure of serving after Ed Koch’s tumultuous three terms. Although Dinkins is in the [...]
News Flash: Barack Meets Spider-Man
A while back I wrote a post called “Don’t Turn Barack Into Bart Simpson.” The basic point was to make sure that people not just talked about the election but actually exercised their power to vote. Check out the link above to see how I made the connection, but when I first told people the [...]
