I am saddened by the death of Whitney Houston but I admit I mourned her many years ago. I stopped following Whitney's career many years ago when her marriage to Bobby Brown kept her in the papers for all the wrong reasons. Whitney was an inspiration to me and I admit to being incredibly disappointed when she hooked up with Bobby Brown. I have seen pictures of her looking haggered and out of it from abuse ra ...

This is a video of a young black boy shouting at his mum and threatening to go to social services about her. All we can say is the kid is bruck bad. How ya threatening your moms on the bus child? Let's hope she cooled down before they got home cos all I could see in his future his a big 'ole beating and a one way ticket back a yard! ...

Having a bad day? Christmas getting you down? Here’s something that might lighten your mood. When four of Santa’s elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure. Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were ...

I’d like to see the disappearance of the N word from Black people’s mouth in 2012. Actually, let''s start right now. I want people to stop referring to each other as “my nigger” and saying things like “sup nigger”. The N word has been used for centuries to abuse and denigrate Black people. In the late 80s, certain misguided African Americans decided they would reclaim the word back for black people. Negro p ...

I like banter – who doesn’t? Twitter can be a great place to catch jokes and if you are following the right person, learn something new. It can also be a source for consternation and anger as people tweet some offensive statements. I’ve seen tweef flare up over misunderstandings or people just deliberately baiting people. More time, I skate over those tweets. Today though, someone expressed an opinion I can ...

The Occupy Wall Street protests, which began in New York as a sit-in, are spreading to more American cities in an unprecedented fashion. The protesters’ grievances include many issues, including the power of corporates, environmental destruction and American militarism. Now the protest intends to extend to Britain with Occupy the London Stock Exchange set to start on 15 October. A press release on their web ...

I have witnessed some sad things and heard talk of some really bad things. It makes my blood boil when young black people take the life of another in their ongoing post code wars. Worst still when innocent people are caught in the cross fire.  I thought humans couldn't do much more to make my skin crawl, until today. Updated: Today I watched a video of a Nigerian man being tortured and burned alive (see end ...

People have branded the recent UK riots and uprising as senseless violence. For me it has been a highlighted section of our normal life, just sped up and multiplied. Violence, crimes and fear. Those are things that people in my community feel on a daily basis. I heard many people talking about the thugs, scum and many other rude words over these past few weeks. But when did people ever stop and think that a ...

The last time we mentioned someone getting tasered by police we received a threat of legal action on behalf of the police. Despite the fact that we did not mention the name of the officer or officers (we didn’t know it) concerned. We were asked to remove the story and print an apology. We allowed our voice to be silenced and just stopped reporting on crimes against black people, whether black on black or po ...

I have on occasion dabbled in conspiracy theories. It's not something I like to do often as I end up suspecting all humans of terrible things. The 9/11 conspiracy was the worst. The only reason I'm even thinking of conspiracies right now is this tweet I saw by @AaronHansonLDN "This is Illuminati spelt backwards ----------> "itanimulli".... Now go to this website www.itanimulli.com" Blatant right? It begs ...
