Stacie J. and other women of questionable taste

The results are in and Black folks have a new person at the top of their S**T list. But it's not who you think... It's Mark Burnett, creator of the Apprentice (and every other decent reality show out there.) "Why," you ask? Simply, from a pool of more than 1 million applicants-- across two seasons-- he managed to pick the two craziest Black women in the country to participate in this high profile game show... Omarosa and Stacie J. Let's backpedal.

Omarosa probably slipped through the cracks because she interviews well. I can imagine her presentation of good-looking credentials, stylish flair and diva attitude that TV producers salivate over. BONUS! She worked at the White House. But by the end of her run on Apprentice 1, it was obvious that she was a two-faced, conniving liar that was willing to do or say anything to suit her purposes. I weep for her husband...

Fast forward to Crazy J... First red flag, "Don't I recognize her from somewhere?" Yep, she's a model. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there aren't many high profile models running major corporations...except in movies. But she's a restarateur! Ummm, actually, she owns a Subway sandwich shop. That's like calling the manager of gas station an oil baron. She's a FRANCHISEE as far as I'm concerned. And so we're on the same page, that's not a bad thing either, but we're establishing a pattern of burnishing the truth, n'est-ce pas?

So we have this strikingly beautiful RESTAURATEUR and the first thing she does is freak out her WHOLE TEAM by vigorously extolling the divinational powers of a "Magic 8 ball!" Has this chick never seen a reality show in her LIFE! Did she not witness how Kwame's "keep below the radar" strategy took him to the final two? Did she not see how quickly Omarosa became the most reviled reality persona in recent memory.

Sistuh, PLEEEZ! Armed with her melt down, the majority of the barracuda brigade at "Apex Corporation" wasted no time in putting her on the chopping block for the next two weeks. She caught a break when Bradford got suckered punched out of the game. By all rights, worthless Ivana should have been packing last week. But with Ivana's "borderline psychotic" estimation of Stacie's mental health and the solidarity of the rest of those pit vipers, she couldn't escape the ax this week. Kudos to "the Jennifers" for at least trying to keep it real and mentioning that over-budget Maria should have been the one fired this week.

Alas, the game is over for Stacie J; at least she'll sell a grip of Subway-branded Atkins wraps this week.

The Two Parties are NOT the same.

Thinking about the differences between the Dems and the Trump. Trump is promising "America First" jingoism without delivering anything but racism, while riding the economic tide of his predecessor. Consider what the Dems have been DEMANDED to fix. 1) Healthcare for all Americans 2) Student loan relief 3) A workable immigration solution 4) $15 min. wage and/or guaranteed income 5) Incremental gun regulation 6) Protecting the environment 7) Iran nuclear treaty 8) Thwarting Russian election interference 9) Reparations 10) Lowering taxes for middle class 11) Raising taxes for the 1% 12) Improving K-12 education 13) Rolling back Citizens United 14) Protecting Roe v. Wade 15) A satisfying DC Cinematic Universe (why not?) It's perfectly fine to be in your feelings if you are upset that this country is so f*cked that your particular issue is not being trumpeted by all (or any) of the Democratic primary candidates. It's even OK if you feel that the cur...

Ashley Todd

Y'all know the story by now. White, female McCain phonebanker, Ashley Todd, leaves Texas to venture North to support her candidate. After a stint in New York, she ends up in Pittsburgh until Thursday, when she lost her effing mind and became Susan Smith Part Deux . The McCain campaign can hardly be blamed for this girl's actions. However, they need to be questioned on their response. Within hours of the incendiary allegations, two things happened. McCain and Palin called Ashley Todd. A press flack from McCain's Pennsylvania operation started pushing the story and adding salacious details. Consider what was at stake here. In a campaign environment already marked with strained racial tensions, Todd's story was potenitally explosive. It would have made a lot more sense to issue a generic statement (like Obama's campaign did). Instead, McCain and Palin lent legitimacy to the allegations (at least for a few hours) by calling her. They vetted Todd's story abou...

After Birth of a Nation

So I finally paid to watch BOAN. I can now offer my commentary without being a hypocrite. Full disclosure... After watching the movie, I reread the ACTUAL "Confessions of Nat Turner" (not the Styron novel) to make sure I wasn't trippin'. Before you comment on anything I have to say, please confirm that you have done the same. This movie was over-hyped. It was a ambitious effort at telling an overlooked story. It did have some compelling moments. However, the idea that this is an important film because it tells the ACCURATE story of Turner's revolt is diminished by the innumerable instances of artistic license and outright misrepresentation of facts. A "Based on a true story" title card doesn't mean you get to play Law & Order SVU with the historical record to the extent that you actually twist Turner into something he wasn't. To be clear, there is precious little in the historical record of Turner's life. Consequently, one might argu...
