FLAG, MEET REDIn retrospect, I find myself wondering; what happens to a person's mind once they submit to military training. Don't get me wrong - I totally respect what soldiers do to protect us, but quite frankly, full disclosure: I'm not now, or ever was built for that type of service. I'm too much of a free-thinker (let's not forget willful and stubborn), and will not submit to that type of

Last night, I had the pleasure of experiencing The Mountaintop, a new play written by Katori Hall, based on the last night of Martin Luther King's life, and starring Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett. The show is currently in it's 9th night of previews here in NYC (@ the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre), so it would be unfair to write a critical review, as plays and musicals in the preview stages

MORE QUESTIONS THAN RIGHT ANSWERSIs there some truth to the old adage, never do business with family? As a creative thinker, do I immediately trust others with whom I connect to on that level? With all of my so-called street knowledge and life experience (I'm pretty up there in terms of age), am I still naive about things I shouldn't be? Is it you? Or is it just me? Am I a cold, calculating

Dear Trump, I hope this will put to rest any doubts you might have about Obama’s academic record. I’ve attached a copy of a 1989 essay written by Prof. Lawrence H. Tribe of Harvard Law titled, “THE CURVATURE OF CONSTITUTIONAL SPACE: WHAT LAWYERS CAN LEARN FROM MODERN PHYSICS”. In it, he explains scientists’ understanding of the Relativity theory, the challenges of Quantum physics and “uses

When it comes to President Obama, some people can really get it twisted. They'll say things like, "Oh, he ain't really that black", and "I wish he would he would just get tough and go ghetto on these motherfuckers". Or, "I'm so disappointed. He's weak and he always caves in to the opposition". But I'm here to tell you that our Prezzy is not a punk. He's a cerebral strategist which makes him

It looks like Tyler Perry has yet another winner on his hands. His upcoming For Colored Girls, which is based on the acclaimed Broadway 70's play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, is sure to be hit across the board, and should hopefully add some much-needed color to the Oscar nominee lists next year.Damn, I can't wait!

I have to say, I don't know why there isn't more righteous anger over the fact that self-described clown and gold shill Glenn Beck would even consider holding a rally on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. At the same location, no less. There is a bizarre effort on the part of conservatives to rewrite history in terms of the civil rights movement, in that they are

In the aftermath of the Shirley Sherrod firestorm and the current developments with regards to immigration, some people are saying they're suffering from "race fatigue". But let's face it. In the Age of Obama, apparently race matters more than ever. It's on the front burner, out in the open and in the case, unabashedly so.

If you've been following Project Runway, Season 7, you already know that Anthony L. Williams (also affectionately known as Suzanne Sugarbaker on the boards over at Gawker) is enjoying cult status as the one bright spot of the season. A true audience favorite, Anthony is all at once talented, witty and earthy, and who wouldn't want to spend time hanging with him whether he's working on his latest

For starters, I am a fan of Fantasia Barrino. A big fan. As I followed her progress as a contestant on American Idol, I basked in the glow of her angelic, high-pitched vocal tone and her ability to tear into a cover song, bending and rendering it into a creation which bore her own unique stamp. I soon also began to notice the parallels between her and Stephanie Mills, one of my all time favorite,

Not to disappoint, racist gasbag Rush Limbaugh politicizes the tragedy of Haiti while hundreds of thousands suffer and may even be dying as we speak.No words.

Hey folks! I'm currently working on the redesign of Beezo Blue. I plan to blast back with fresh commentary on gossip, politics, music & movie news, and fresh takes on fashion from various contributors. I'll also be including a new weekly video starring yours truly, breaking down weekly events. Stay tuned!

I'll leave this up to you to discuss and I'll try not to rant, but truthfully, if you're past the age of 21 and you're still rocking this style, then why be surprised when this is the reaction you get from the so-called powers that be? Is it live, or is it Memorex? Are we being unfairly profiled? Or is it just a case of, in the words of Nippy, it's not right, but it's okay? Besides, what's the

The reason I haven't been posting items lately is because I'm still concentrating my energies on my next endeavor, which will include video wrap-ups of my thoughts on music, pop culture and politics. I want to take Beezo Blue to the next level, but that will take some considerable time and planning. Hopefully, I'll have some vids up within the next month, so, until then, here are some jams to

Talk about coincidence. Earlier, I posted an item about former president Jimmy Carter and his feelings on the racial climate in politics. Among his remarks were his experiences growing up in Georgia, particularly as they pertained to racism. And now we have one Troy Dale, who upon exiting a Cracker Barrel restaurant(no f-ing joke!) in Morrow, GA, almost hit a child with the door. The woman, Tasha

A video has surfaced in which The King of Pop admits that he was addicted to painkillers. During an inteview, which was conducted by a lawyer in 2003, Michael claimed that he could have been under the influence of drugs prescibed for injuries sustained during a tour.

I'm watching the pre-show, and already, I'm a little confused as to what's up with Janet Jackson's tribute to her brother Michael. I was under the impression that this was the main selling point of the show, but Alica Keys was interviewed and asked what she thought of the tribute to which she said, "Oh, I thought it was secret, but I guess it's out now." Hmmm, did our pre-show host drop the ball?

I haven't bothered to post on the passing of The King, as I wanted to give my thoughts after the memorial service. What with Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce and just about every other still-living celebrity scheduled to appear and pay homage, I only thought it more appropriate to express my thoughts at tht time.But rest assured, I, like most of you have grieved, and I truly miss him.Stay

The new trailer for "Precious", formerly known as "Push" , has been released, and suffice it to say, has Oscar written all over it. Although there has been much talk about Mo'Nique's devastating portrayal of an abusive mother, newcomer Gabourney Sidibe's performance as the titular character appears to be just as strong. It also seems like Mariah Carey will officially silence her critics with

Artist Michael D'Antuono planned to unveil a painting of President Obama which invokes the iconic image of Christ wearing a crown of thorns in New York City's Union Square today, but has since canceled the showing due to "pressure" from those who are opposed to the painting.Some are calling it a cowardly move. I guess. It all reeks of the usual PR shenanigans to me. Discuss, if you must.

I've had the pleasure and opportunity of knowing, and occasionally working with Jonathan Bodrick for over a year now, and as this article from Black Gay Gossip can attest, he is the Real Deal.

I stumbled upon this clip a little late, but thanks to my sister Kim, I finally got a chance to hear Florence Ballard discuss, in her own words, the reasons why she felt she was phased out of The Supremes at the height of their popularity and replaced by Cindy Birdsong, then a member of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. One of the things I found most compelling about the interview aside from her

I recently discovered the song Come Around by The Foreign Exchange while fishing around iTunes, and was immediately hooked. I still can't stop repeat-playing this masterpiece of spaced out melody and hip hop beats accompanied by plaintive, yet soulfully sure vocals and tight bassline which sent my head into non-stop rythmic nodding. This is true ear candy for the grown and sexy set, ya heard?

Damn, I've been wondering what's been up with the Boogie-Down Bronx's favorite daughter Jennifer Lopez. Seems she's back as Anita in a Vanity Fair spread inspired by the movie classic, West Side Story. I remember as a kid watching this movie every year when CBS used to run it as an event, along with The Wizard of Oz. Both movies used to scare the hell out of me, although for different reasons. I

There just hasn't been anything happening lately that has compelled me to post, save for the cancellation of D.L. Hughley's show on CNN, allegedly due to his comparing the RNC to Nazi Germany, the on-going Chris Brown/Rihanna Saga and Rush Limbaugh, who speaking of which, was called a coward by a Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman for not accepting his challenge to debate. Which left more time for me

I came across this one over at copyranter via Gawker. A German ad agency is promoting race-conscious clay dioramas in the spirit of awareness (KKKlay-doh! Get it?!), but I dunno. It sure seems like a Klansman is tryna woo a gay dude. Hmmm.... I smell a set-up. Discuss, if you must.

My great friend and all around music muse Antoinette Celes from San Francisco posted this clip, amongst many others, which range from the music of Sun Kil Moon, Erik Satie, and The Cocteau Twins, to various musings on art and breathtaking photography on her blog CARAMIMI. This joint showcases dancers working it out to the sounds of kuduro, a mix of house and Carribean beats, which is popular in

I'm now an official fan of Philly/NYC-based DJ Rich Medina, who much like my friend DJ Ben Manzone, who himself is holding down a weekly Sunday jam throwdown called Masterfleet at coco66 over in Williamsburg, BK, keeps the vibe strictly organic with a mix of rare soul grooves, classic jack beats and funkified house along with a few kitchen sink elements. Yes, your soul can be saved, baby. Check

Azharuddin Mohammed, 10 year old star of the Oscar-winning smash Slumdog Millionaire, was subjected to a public beating today by his father who was frustrated by his son's refusal to comply with his wish to display him before an adoring public outside of the tent the family lived in.No doubt exhausted from his recent travels and still riding high on what must have been a whirlwind of public

90's videoman extraordinaire Hype Williams hits you with a surrealistic mix of Hollyhood celeb cameos, including Quincy Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Forest Whitaker, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ron Howard(!), lesbian-lite, bourgie hoochies, and the ubiquitous T-Pain who, speaking of the nineties, seems determined to bring back the slo-mo-flash-2-bottles-of-overflowing-champangne-bottles-before-the-cameras

There are actually a couple things I want to rant about this week - the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown affair and, of course,  New York Post Page Six cartoonist (and I use that term loosely) Sean Delonas's umpteenth failure in attempting to produce an image which reflects even the most minute trace of class or wit. I mean come on, if you've ever had the misfortune of viewing any of this man's work,
