Well, at least it’s not racial. Sorta.

Saw this article today, about an “emergency” rape law passed in Italy:
Italy’s government has rushed through a decree to crack down on sexual violence and illegal immigration after a spate of rapes blamed on foreigners.
What’s “a spate”? Must be quite a few, to justify the swift passage of a new law, I’m thinking. […] Continue reading →

The New York Post cartoon: this is my unsurprised face.

Posted on February 19, 2009 by nojojojo

By now most of you have heard about the racist cartoon published in The New York Post. There’s a lot of good commentary out there on this already, and some calls to action, which I strongly urge all of you to heed.
That said, I haven’t said much about this before today because […] Continue reading →

Return of the revenge of the daughter of the Welfare Queen

Posted on February 12, 2009 by nojojojo

I’ve been following this whole octuplet controversy with mixed feelings. A part of me very much groks the anger being directed at Nadya Suleman. No single person can give 14 children the care and attention they all need; hell, I’m not sure a couple could manage it. If “it takes a village” […] Continue reading →

Hey, kids! Wanna know what your role model, Miley Cyrus, does in her spare time?

Um. Yeahno. What they said.
Oh, and don’t read the comments at TMZ. We PoC need to watch our stress levels. No, seriously, don’t.

Mehserle arrested

Posted on January 14, 2009 by nojojojo

I’m tired, ya’ll. Too tired to be angry. So tired of all this shit. The tiredness won’t last forever, of course; I’ll rebound, as I must. But I need a break.
In the meantime, though — I’m cautiously heartened by this.
Mehserle was arrested in the New Year’s Day shooting of Oscar Grant, […] Continue reading →

S.O.S., Different Year

Posted on January 5, 2009 by nojojojo

Happy New Year, all. Took me 5 days to get angry about something; a new record for me! Well, more annoyed than anything else. Who can really afford to get angry about all the stupid crap we see in the media? Us WoC gotta watch that blood pressure, after all. […] Continue reading →

M. Night, Say it isn’t so!

Posted on December 10, 2008 by nojojojo

I don’t post much about TV stuff because I don’t watch a lot of TV. But when I do, because my tastes have always been eclectic and a little weird, I tend to watch weird eclectic stuff. Thus was born my love of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It’s a children’s cartoon. […] Continue reading →

If A=B and B=C but C is not equal to A, then… WTF?

Posted on November 8, 2008 by nojojojo

Call me a pessimist. As overjoyed as I was to see Obama become our next president (sane! also black. but SANE!), a part of me held back from celebrating with as much abandon as I really wanted to. This is because another part of me, long-bruised and sore, was tensing up, readying […] Continue reading →
