Last week, the four Miami Dolphins players who joined Colin Kaepernick’s protest of the national anthem held a town hall meeting with community activists and top police officials to discuss ways to prevent cops from recklessly killing unarmed black people. It was a good start to addressing the biggest issue for African Americans. “We had […] [...]

Last week, I participated in a panel discussion about the relationship between police and the African American community in Miami that gave me hope. Held at Pipeline Brickell, an office of shared workspaces, I was expecting a crowd full of black lawyers who don’t know how to find their way to the hood. But when […] [...]

Prominent, bourgeois African American pundits like Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson and New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow have come out swinging against Donald Trump’s recent attempts to court black voters. But talking heads like Dyson and Blow are showing they are completely out of touch with African Americans. Trump is one hundred […] [...]

Four months ago, Obama had a sit down with a bunch of hip hop artists to discuss criminal justice reform. I must have missed the news about it since I was probably busy helping black inner city high school football players get into college. I certainly didn’t get an invite, which is bullshit. According to […] [...]

With the August 30 primary around the corner, all the local media attention is focused on the race for Miami-Dade County mayor between incumbent Carlos Gimenez and School Board member Raquel Regalado. However, there are other local races that are significantly important for the African-American community. In Miami Gardens, Mayor Oliver Gilbert is in a […] [...]

When it comes to reporting on crime and other bad things happening in Miami, local television stations do not provide fair and balanced coverage. In fact, mainstream news organizations are out to destroy African American communities. Consider this: Last week, 26-year-old Lazaro Manuel Arencibia was shot in the abdomen at a gas station two blocks […] [...]

For next year’s Memorial Day Weekend, Miami Beach is taking it back to the old days of segregation when black people weren’t allowed to stay in the city’s hotels and had to leave by sundown. Negroes have been officially banned from the city during the popular holiday weekend that draws an estimated 200,000 visitors. Of […] [...]

Less than a week after five Dallas law enforcement officers killed by a lunatic gunman, the nation is again reeling from another deadly confrontation between cops and an ex-military extremist. On Sunday, former Marine Gavin Long gunned down three officers in Baton Rouge, a city still reeling from the death of Alton Sterling, a black […] [...]

As a Miami Heat lifer and original season ticket holder, I will always root for the home team. But Dwyane Wade bolting for Chicago is Pat Riley’s biggest fuck-up. If the Miami Heat were one of team owner Micky Arison’s cruise ships, the franchise just hit an iceberg. It’s time for Arison to fire the […] [...]

Over the last two weeks, Miami Beach politicians and some residents have lost their minds over rumors that King of Diamonds might open a second strip club on Ocean Drive, South Florida’s primary tourism hub. It got me thinking that out-of-towners looking to patronize our local gentlemanly establishments need some guidance when visiting a strip […] [...]
