My Take: Juneteenth Day is not a joke to mess with. Learn it like it matters, such as the 4th of July.

Happy Juneteenth Day! Yeah, I said it. Or Happy 2 weeks before the 250 Starts. Does that sound inappropriate? Oh, did I step on some toes? Guess what? If that’s inappropriate, then saying Juneteenth is a segregated holiday, or a racist occasion, is inappropriate, too. Let’s talk about it. On this day. This day of June 19th, 2026, the 161st Anniversary of Juneteenth Day, now in its 5th year as…

America goes 250! But we still have work to do. Business and Personal.

Let this be said to all US Citizens by birth and immigrant: Happy Birthday to the United States of America. No, really, Happy Birthday to the USA. Ok, ok, settle down. Now the whole country has flipped another level to 250. That’s a joy in all. And if you woke up out of bed on the 4th and lived to see this 250th year, yes, you’re lucky. I’m looking at all the events and footage online and on…

June is Men's Health Month and Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Take the opportunity to learn about Men's Health/Mental Status and the cause, effects and healing.

Men's Health Month 2026: Don't just skip the "Health" part over the "Mental Health". It's all Health.

Scratching my head all this time: The almost way to Summer edition.

We are so May. The 5th month of the year brings in another year for Mothers, May Graduations, a time to talk about mental health, and of course: Military Appreciation Month featuring Armed Forces Day and most importantly, Memorial Day. No, we can’t still say or state the phrase “Happy Memorial Day”. That to me is still sacrilegious, especially towards living veterans. Stop that mess. Who in the…

FULL BORE! The gutting of the Voting Rights Act is truly un-American.

A lot in the last few weeks, actually, within the past month, has been on my mind. It’s been on my heart, soul, and spirit all at once. Exactly, you might be asking what it is that I’m trying to refer to? What’s been going on? What’s been happening? What’s all the concern and the ruckus that has led to me being asked the questions I am prepared to write? The Voting Rights Act of 1965. Oh yes,…

My Take: A three-headed monster we didn't need. At all.

Oh, what a break I had between Black History Month and Women’s History Month. But I’m back to work. Back to the comment on what’s wrong. Back to comment to rant. And back to right the wrongs that many should have gone harder than the last. The game hasn’t left. First: Nick Cannon/Amber Rose: We need to get this out in the open. It seems that Nick Cannon has not been doing his homework when it…

There are certain women out there who believe that men shouldn't have a "Men's History Month". Why is that? Just maybe men should have a History Month of their own, but the question is when and how?

My Take: The Alabama Brawl for it all! (Or at least for one day)

Well, We saw an act of justice last Saturday. It was all over the Internet, the news, and on the same day that WWE SummerSlam was just a tick away to begin in Detroit. But I’m not talking about SummerSlam. I’m talking about the act of justice that occurred in Montgomery where we all know that a Black Co-Captain was attacked by three white men who were just doing his job. He wasn’t a security…

Black History Month 2026: It feels different like last year, but we are celebrating the centennial now more than ever.

100th Anniversary Black History Month Cake. The 100th edition of Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s work is back in action. It was designed as a way for Black folks to tell, recite, or even record their stories, from the inception of Negro History Week of 1926 to the full celebration of Black History Month. And even though the month-long highlighted celebration is back yet again, it feels different this…

Dear Black Women, Black Men, Black CLERGY: ENOUGH ALREADY!

This needs to be said. And as a Black man, I have heard enough of this dress talk. This entire issue, which many of us have yet to discuss, is another distraction from the main concerns or issues we face each day. Since Pastor Jamal Bryant and his wife, Dr. Karri Bryant, have been in the news for some positive developments, the main focus has been on her attire, specifically her black dress. Oh…

2025: Under Review.

Source: “Star Trek TNG: All Good Things pt. 2”; 1994 Photo by Bo Ponomari on Pexels.com Folks, it is now time to archive the year 2025. It’s time that the Year of the Snake is to be archived in the Snake Pit.  But of course, the living examples of voting, racism, protesting, the aftermath of the dreaded 2024 election that dominated most of the year, and yet many others will linger on. We’ll…

Scratching My Head All This Time in 2025.

Oh, you know I’m about to go in. 2025 was just all over crazy! It had me on point, it had me on rotation, and it had me bugged out. However, after asking these questions, we might understand it better. But…since this is the last Scratching My Head all this time of the year, it’s not the last! So, as we count down to the latter ticks of 2025, and we prepare for our Watch Night Services, All Night…

Before you unwrap your gifts: Scratching my head all this time before Christmas Day on Christmas Eve of 2025.

Okay……. It seems that the holiest of days is again upon us. We’re talking about Christmas Day. However, by the time you’re reading this, it’s Christmas Eve in the world today. And yes, like many others, you’re out shopping, getting your gifts, and ready to get them wrapped.

Ode to Sagittarius XII: We can and still must ride.

Here is another one for the Centaur. And our season has determined Archers summarized for the 12th straight time! Quivers and Bows Well, fellow Sagittarius folks, it seems that our Season of the Centaur is about to end for another year. Yes, I know. But I have a feeling that it’s going to be alright! Yes, I know you, Capricorns, and other Zodiacs are about to take over that Zodiac Baton in all…
