Gentlemen (and Lally and Karen), drop your T-bones.
New column up here.
This is bound to be a crowd pleaser! :-/
Brian and Lally, two of my biggest Urbanagora allies on the left, part ways with me on this issue, and God only knows what I have coming from Tom. Let the gang-up begin.
Hey, Hardaway! Suck my d***.
OK, so my DI column this week is not as confrontational as the title of this post. But it does tackle a sensitive subject: homophobia in the black community. My emphasis here is on homophobic black celebrities, whose comments can have a strong influence of millions of impressionable black youth, but it’s certainly a problem within the broader African American community as well.
Check it, and if you’re so inclined, wreck it.
Oh, and I spotted a comma error that was NOT in my original version. Just sayin’.
New DI Column: Critiquing the Critics…
…is up: Critiquing the Critics.
An Introduction
Hey, all. Greetings from the most recent addition to Urbanagora. I begin humbly, with my recently published columns in the Daily Illini. First, there is this column about Vice President Cheney’s recent faux outrage, which reached #3 on U-Wire (the college newspaper service that allows other newspapers to use other schools’ material for guest columns). I also did this point-counterpoint with Eric Naing (his position here) debating whether Senator Jim Webb should be the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
Enjoy!
