Corruption, the Congressional Black Caucus and You
Were you surprised by all the stories involving CBC members and corruption? I wasn't. Maybe you didn't notice, but ... errr ... these people are politicians and what's a little bribery among friends? You had to know when you sent your favorite former Civil Rights champions, homeboys and girls who...
John McCain Would Like To Deny You Your Rights -- For Funzies!
It's all a slippery slope. Isn't that what we on the left have been saying all along? That if you deny the rights of non-Americans it's only a matter of time before people start thinking the Bill of Rights was printed in invisible ink. Right now Sens. John McCain and...
Dating Is Not A Democracy (Menfolks)
"As much as I may miss the thrill of dating, sleeping with, meeting someone new, I regularly thank my wife for not being crazy. When we are out, one of our favorite things is to pick out the couple who is dating and thank goodness they aren’t us," Joe, Married...
Coming This Monday -- Menfolk: How You Doin'?
Coming to a Snob Blog near you, a new feature I like to call "Menfolk: How You Doin'?" As womenfolk we can sometimes find ourselves talking into circles over sex, love, dating, marriage and other issues that sometimes involve those people with penises. So, I decided to hit up some black...
Dear Harold Ford Jr., I'm Sorry I Called You A Princess
Because it's insulting to princesses mostly. Not because I feel bad or anything. Anyway, unless you've been living under a rock, my favorite sexxxxy*, pretty, pretty ... um ... Shit.

Mo'Nique's Hairy Legs + "Open" Marriage = TMI
I forgave Mo'Nique for "The Parkers." It had to go off the air for a few years and UPN had to die, but I eventually forgave her for introducing that abomination of a show onto the world. My hatred of The Parkers is something rich, fertile and pure and I...

Book Discussion, ''What Darwin Got Wrong''
At this point, the idea of somebody publishing an attack on Charles Darwin isn’t exactly surprising. The 19th-century naturalist, and the man behind the theory of evolution, has never been a particularly popular figure among conservative Christians, and, these days, the anti-Darwin movement is a cottage industry. In the last...

Only 78% of Americans...
US Army Major: Lose Evangelical Christian Belief
A research paper written by a U.S. Army major for the School of Advanced Military Studies in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., calls for Americans to lose the evangelical Christian belief of pre-millennialism because of the damage it does to the nation's foreign interests.

It’s Not An Assault on Black Women If It’s a Reality

‘Idol’ names Season 9 Top 12: Not Enough Diversity?
American Idol recently announced their final 12 contestants and there’s one key component missing—diversity. It has been a while since we’ve seen talent like Jennifer Hudson, Ruben Studdard, LaToya London, Fantasia Burrino and more, but is it really because America is only checking for White talent these days?
