<![CDATA[Last night, I posted the following status update to my Facebook account: Wait, there’s been reports of racial harassment to people of color from Trump supporters? Well, we shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, when white Republicans send candidates to the White House, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending a candidate with supporters that…

<![CDATA[Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is out in theaters, and it dutifully fills all the boxes in the spy thriller checklist. Lifelike masks? Death-defying stunts? Car chases? Gunplay and physical combat? Glamorous locales? Check, check, checkity-pop-zoom-bam-BOOM. One thing that stuck with me was the title; an interesting development, because action movie titles are…

<![CDATA[So it’s May, which only means one thing in my world. NBA Playoffs! But I also share this world with other non-NBA fans, many of whom are outdoorsy types. So for them, May is National Bike Month. Which means it’s time for me to resume my annual tradition of Getting Back On My Bike Again,…

<![CDATA[Like any good meme, the trend of what certain kinds of people like/dislike is spreading like wildfire. Thus, I give you: Stuff Educated Black People Like. This site makes me laugh big time… at myself. (That is, when I’m not laughing at White people. The latest one to slay me: #88, Outdoor Performance Clothes.) But…

<![CDATA[ Are you surrounded by White people, at work, school, or in your community? Do you have White people in your family? Perhaps you yourself are, in fact, White.
