Google has a dummy site running as an April Fool’s Joke. Yawn.

Who’s falling for this? I mean, really.

You know someone got paid BIG bucks to do this.

Black Like Me…

In 1954, Psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark administered the infamous doll test. When presented with white and black dolls, little black girls overwhelmingly chose the white dolls as prettier, nicer, smarter.

The video is heartbreaking.

A young girl named Kiri Davis has done a short film on the topic. Please watch it when you can.

And then, just yesterday, Good Morning America did their own take on the doll test.

It makes me sick to my stomach.

A longer post when Blogorama is over will follow. I have things to say about this.

I can’t. I just can’t.

My boy Jerry Barrow just put up a Note on Facebook. It’s a memorial to KING magazine. No. I can’t. I just can’t.

He highlights four cover stories he wrote for the magazine here. Check ’em out.

I can’t. Y’all. I can’t.

Breakfast.

My Aunt Janna just sent me an email. Warning about pistachioes and salmonella poisoning.

I’m a pistachio-loving fool.

This is scary.

I hate when healthy food proves deadly. Like the spinach incident from a few years back. It just seems so unfair. What the hell can we eat?

My pistachioes for lunch. Which I eat every day. I'm not tossing them. These things are expensive. And obviously, this batch is fine. I've been eating them for three weeks...
