Black folks we got to do better
 
In my surfing of the internet I often come across things that make me cringe in embarrasment for my peoples, black folk (I usually try to refrain from using the word 'race' because there is no scientific basis for this concept of classifying homo sapiens), most of which could be turned into fodder for whole essays/posts regarding a wide variety of topics. But because I'm a busy guy and this ...

THE Wisconsin Sports Wank
 
Well I know everyone is Wisconsin is feeling much better this week now that 'The Drama' involving He Who Shall Not Be Named is over and the Brewers and Pack showed that their not dead yet.

Pick your side now, and stick with it
 
So now on the heels of the unimaginable scenario we come to the inevitable decision. Packer 'fans' choose your side now, and choose wisely for I view this as being the defining moment for the fan base of this franchise.

So maybe this week's post could be my walk-off homer ...

Yo, Caron!
 
Hey do you mind if I speak directly to you for a moment. See I don't know you, but I feel the need to check you on something I feel very passionate about, but first let me give you a little background. I'm from Milwaukee born and raised. I grew up in the early 80's when the Packers sucked (a state or city's football team pretty much defines it's identity to the rest of the country), the ...

Different culture, same norms?
 
It won't be long now before the newly assembled 'Dream Team' will be representing in Beijing, trying to bring that lately elusive gold medal home in basketball. The media buildup, at least in this country, has been kind of quiet to me compared to other Olympiad years. Usually we would be sick of NBC bombarding us with promos by now with the event only weeks away. But while you're hoping ...
