Tobias calls out the million dollar athletes who fuck it all up for themselves, their family, and the culture—and recognizes one of many who tried not to…
My alter ego works a 9-5 job, is pretty proud of what he has accomplished, but knows he has a lot to accomplish still. It is not the sense [...]

No Blacks or Mongols AllowedBy
Tobias Hustleman
It is amazing what one may find surfing the internet after a day of working. Much to my chagrin, I have found that neither me nor my Mongolian love and touch would be allowed in a bar in the worker’s district during the Olympics. Potentially, this will be the center of social activity during the [...]

Do men really care if the woman is being pleased?

Icabod Calls Black Women OutBy
I.M. Haight
This is something that has pissed me off for years. I am a black man and I love black women but I don’t think you love yourselves. First off, there is nothing wrong with you. And for that matter, there has never been anything wrong. Despite what the media portrays or what you believe, you [...]

Monthly Awards - Morton’s Make It Rain Award - AugustBy
I.M. Haight
AND THE WINNER IS—-
Another month and another gorgeous display of anger. Last month I awarded Ice T for his meticulous yet misguided tirade aimed at Soulja Boy. This month the honor goes to someone who definitely would have been justified if he turned several shades of green, but didn’t. A man who’s subtle seething anger [...]

Seymour Monet
Nigger. Nigga. My nig. Nigra. There. Got it out of the way. I figured that if I was going to offend anyone I might as well start the show with it. One of my favorite rappers, Nas, recently attempted and succeeded to some degree, to put “the” word [...]
