During a recent question and answer session at a university, I was asked by a bright and enthusiastic Asian American student, “The political stuff was great, but what about the Asian jokes?” This was met with a gleeful response, to which I had no real solid reply. It kind of took me aback, because the […]
Normally I don’t get in another country’s business, but I have to say something about what happened in Australia. I had erroneously made a comment in a blog about there being no people of color in Oz, unless you count the sunburned. It was glib and it wasn’t true. I was actually talking about the […]
Bush done did it again. What is this fool’s problem? He obviously is wrongheaded on purpose, as if his advisors like Karl “Killa, but not from Manila” Rove are trying to make him look like an even bigger idiot so that they will not have to endure another term with his dumb ass. On the […]
Margaret received these letters immediately following this post and this post from the right wing website, Free Republic. We originally posted the emails with all the names and return addresses intact, but eventually had to remove them because we became aware they were being contacted by many of Margaret’s outraged fans. Free Republic, which a […]
I had avoided, averted, excused myself, gave rain checks, and procrastinated as much as I possibly could, in viewing the film “Bamboozled.” This is the brilliant Spike Lee film starring lots of heroes, friends, acquaintances, a bizarre one night stand (which I will not go into) and my very favorite actor/artist/activist/educator/healer/shaman Danny Hoch in a […]

There are some playas that are so fine they beyond a ‘Shadow of a Dick.’ Everyone has reasons why they like somebody’s looks, want to break them off, be their baby daddy – that is a simple matter of taste, formulated by past lovers, crushes developed in childhood, the ones that kind of look like […]
Emmett Till was a fourteen year old Black boy living in Chicago in 1955. He was on his way to visit relatives in Money, Mississippi. He came home without himself, just his dead body, mutilated beyond belief. Emmett Till was a baby, just a boy, fucking FOURTEEN!!! He wasn’t a civil rights activist. He wasn’t […]
No thank you. I do not wish to celebrate some holiday where the pilgrims and the Indians decided to have a potluck and the Indians bring some maize and the pilgrims bring whatever kind of bullshit those square hat, buckle shoe puritan motherfuckers eat, and then sat down together and gave thanks – for what? […]
I slept with Tupac. Not in the Biblical sense, although I have had some beautiful dreams of it, always with the bedsheets of silky cream satin and the mosquito netting hiding us from the gaze of the rest of the weird dream realm people that are always making inappropriate appearances during things like this, like […]
Today, we went to the top floor of Barney’s, bypassing the danger zone of the first floor; jewelry and makeup. I could lose my entire life on that 5000 square yards of space, as the glint of the Swarkovski crystals catch my eye, the lariats that go down to your waist, almost bumping you in […]
