Keene Point of View | Episode 28 – Freaky, Sneaky, Greedy, Needy
Happy Friday! It’s been a freaky, sneaky, greedy, and even needy week. This week: Anthony Weiner showed off his…I won’t say it…PENIS. Bob McDonnell threw his whole family under the bus in his scandal. You can actually find God in the horror movie, The Conjuring. The United Kingdom has gay marriage in England and Wales, […]
Honest Feelings: The Friend Zone
I saw something on Twitter about people talking about the “Friend Zone”. Some people think of the friend zone as a place where men say they are when they are friends with a woman. She isn’t into him, but he keeps doing things to show interest that is not reciprocated. I’ve seen some guys go so […]
I Want to be Married
I don’t really get too personal #onhere, but I have to let this out because my usual outlets aren’t working. Y’all, I want to be married. I do. I’m getting older and looking at all these babies in my family from last weekend, and thinking, “Man, it would be nice to leave a legacy through […]
Strong Space
I was out-of-town at my aunt’s funeral this past weekend. I was asked to spend the weekend with the family, and aside from one other outside cousin, I was the only one who wasn’t a sibling or offspring who spent time with the family in the homes. Everyone else in the family came up for […]
Keene Point of View | Episode 27 – George Zimmerman Killed Trayvon Martin
HAPPY FRIDAY! This week: The U.S. Senate avoids filibuster reform and allows a LOT of Obama nominees into top government jobs. Pat Robertson feels that gay people should try to be straight because that worked out so well for them the first time around? *eye roll* Finally, George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin and the prosecution […]
Dear White Americans Who Don’t “Get” Race/Racism
(Unnecessary disclaimer: This is not a letter to all White Americans, but it’s for those who “don’t see color” or who feel that we are post-racial in America, think racism is a thing of the past that ended with the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, Amendments 13-15 of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act, […]
Can We Give Florida Back to Spain?
Spain, come collect your land, please. Florida has got to go. George Zimmerman got off scot-free for killing an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin, after suspecting him of being up to no good so much that Zimmerman called 911, pursued Trayvon (while carrying a loaded gun, which he wasn’t supposed to have on him in his capacity as Neighborhood watchman), ignored the […]
Keene Point of View – Episode 26: One Nation Under God
HAPPY BELATED FRIDAY! This week – “One Nation Under God”. Enjoy my sinus-y voice! I talk about the FARRM Bill and poverty in America; the new-and-improved Not-Boy Scouts (now with non-flaunting gays); and how Christians have let down America by replacing their faith with political ideology. It’s a read/rant/dragging. Hope you enjoy! Keene Point of […]
Pro-Lifers Make My Weave Itch
With all the news about the Texas Senate’s restrictive abortion bill, SB5; Texas’s House passing a restrictive abortion bill that prohibits abortions after 20 weeks, mandates that doctors only perform abortions at surgical centers, and requires doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals; and the GOP is adamant that men are the only viable […]
Christians vs Gays: An Unnecessary Fight
I hope you all had a wonderful July 4th extended weekend in the U.S. I went out of town for vacation and had a nice time, aside from my cold that turned into a sinus infection that is affecting my ear. (It won’t fully open! No, your remedies won’t help, either, because I’ve tried them […]
