The Black and White Perspective
Is Obama a Good Liar or Was He Paid Off?
Aug 20th
As a mixed guy in America there have been a lot of famous people over the course of my life with similar backgrounds whose conduct is indirectly used by others to make judgments about me and other mixed people. For that reason I tend to pay a lot of attention to these figures and their actions.
When I was growing up it was basically just Mariah Carey and Sinbad. Almost two decades later, we’ve got a few more. Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, and Vin Diesel are all half… but Chris Brown, Drake, and Obama tend to be the three I follow the closest these days. Ever since the Presidential campaign, it has been very exciting to see someone pursue leadership of the free world that visually represents me. However, my faith in this man has drastically declined as of late. More >
Fantasy Football: Skill, Luck, or Free Time?
Aug 19th
Alright so it’s mid-August and we’ll all be playing fantasy football in no time. I played in 2008 and 2009 for a small price of $50. It was an awesome experience both times and the trash talk amongst my circle of friends/colleagues was well worth the expense.
As we approach the upcoming season, I am no longer a rookie so I plan to take it a bit more seriously. One of my good friends, Jacob Brim, has been adamant about making sure that everyone has a full time job this year. He dominated his work league but suffered in the ‘hippie league’, as he referred to it. He blamed his lack of success as a result of too many jobless participants. While I see his angle, my intuition leads me to believe that maybe its more than just free time which makes up a strong fantasy football team. More >
Camoranesi Fined For Foul 16 Years Ago
Aug 11th
Camoranesi is of half Italian and half Argentinian origin and is most recognized for his services to both the Juventus football club and the Italian national team. Just recently, an Argentinian court ruled that he pay $50,000 in damages for a foul he committed back in 1994.
I know what you are thinking… that must’ve been one hell of a foul, right? It was. Take a look for yourself here.
