  • all good things must come to an end...

    Well if you haven't figured it out, I'm not Black at Michigan anymore. I will probably not post much over here, but will leave it as an archive or monument to one of my feats of graduate school procrastination. I'm continuing my blog thing over at DumiSays. Click there to [...]

  • Because the more things change...

    the more they stay the same. If you can, take some time to reflect upon the progress and loses we've had over this past year. Think about what freedom has been, is, and could be. What to the slave is the Fourth of July? by Frederick Douglass 1852FELLOW CITIZENS, pardon' [...]

  • It's always better when it's free

    So for the past couple of weeks I've really been thinking about my music consumption and how I seldom buy albums these days. I'll be real, I tend to "come up" on major industry stuff and just buy the underground or local stuff. Well today I thought I'd share with [...]

  • Let me ask you...

    1) Am I the only one who gets offended when you here someone say Akon or Swizz Beatz is a rapper?2) How come the more people who become interested in running for president, the less interested I become in the race?3) Why are the people who know the least about [...]

  • The Last N***a Left

    About 2 months ago I was babbling on the phone about baseball to my boy and he said, "You know what, you have got to be the last black man left who cares about baseball." He made this comment in jest, really just to shut me up from inconsquential spewing [...]

  • no homo... black male intimacy

    So for the past few years nearly every time I hear Black men nearing a point of emotional intimacy two words quickly have haunted the moment, "no homo." Picture this Sicily... err, I mean, so picture this, you've mentored a brother for the past 5 years, talked him through some' [...]

  • That Mass Appeal

    Remember when Gangstarr was talking about that mass appeal? I've always felt there were some rappers that had that mass appeal, but never could quite put my finger on it. Now the folks I'm referring to are groups or individuals that you wouldn't suspect would end up on my musical' [...]

  • I declare this Hip-Hop Week

    Aight, first thing's first, I know there is already a Hip-Hop Appreciation Week, but I usually miss that and right now I don't really care. Just kind of been feeling like my last 5 posts or so, in the cue are Hip-Hop related. So I thought I'd take this opportunity [...]

  • Still Black at Michigan... just on necessary a hiatus

    Hey readers. I know I've been absent. But I'm absent for a reason, no more posts until I get a full draft of this dissertation out to my committee. It should be sooner than later, but just keep a brotha in your prayers, thoughts, or whatever you have about me. [...]

  • Carry on Tradition...?

    Nas' song has been burning through my head as of late. Could be the late nights, early morning, the travelling, the writing, but whatever it is, it's in my head. The events of the past week with Don Imus really made me think about the traditions that we carry on [...]

  • Welcome to March

    So last month was Black history month and now that the television, radio, and fast food are done "honoring our legacy" I'd thought I'd help you along. You see, every year I feel a little loss of something special with the passing of BHM. So today I present to you [...]

    1) Why do I know in a couple days it will be impossible to find all these good documentaries on Black folks on TV anymore?2) When will BET get real and put The launch of BET on their list of events that Mishaped Black America?3) When will people realize saying [...]

    This Black History Month is flying by me, but I'm trying to make some Black History of my own, so forgive my absence. A couple things have come across my desk that I gotta mention. First, the Nation has an EXCELLENT piece on White History. Originally I had planned to [...]

    As I returned to my state of Michigan a few weeks ago, I was greeted with the image of a dark skinned man sporting a fedora tipped to the side with a magenta shirt, and a white striped suit strolling out of the courthouse. In a matter of moments, for [...]

  • Happy Black History Month

    So the coming of February marks the arrival of Black History Month. Inevitably each year I hear outcries of "where's White history month" or people reducing our month to a series of quiz bowl like facts. I will address these issues later, but for right now I wanted to highlight' [...]

  • Hard out here for a Black American

    While everyone is reviewing 2006, I'm concerned about the entry of 2007 for Black folks, particularly Black Americans. Let's hang our flag at half-mast, because it's going to be a long year!!! As 2006 ended, Prop 2 implementation was delayed and I was more concerned about the godfather of Soul's transition [...]
