The Murder of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman: Greatest Crime in Human History

I may be exaggerating when I say it is the greatest crime in human history. Because human history has experienced events such as; the Holocaust, La Violencia, Slavery, and much much more, I can only say Zimmerman’s crime is among the greatest crimes in human history. Firstly, I should say that I am not advocating that Zimmerman, the person, is innocent/guilty or good/bad. The topic is solely the act [when Zimmerman decides to pull the trigger...

The Kandahar Rampage shows Our Injustice

When a rogue US soldier [staff sergeant] murdered sixteen people in Afghanistan on Sunday, the first thought that popped into my head was; I wonder how outraged the American people will be? How long will this story trend on Twitter? Will the news outlets run this story insufferably? The Kandahar Rampage [as it is being called] is not an extraordinary event. In fact, it is quite usual. US Soldiers have been known to inexplicably kill civilians....

Kony Island

I'm really glad that there is growing awareness for Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda. No doubt has there been atrocities in Uganda over the past three decades, especially involving children. The Invisible Children organization has been around for about 10 years raising awareness for this issue and they continue that campaign today with a video that celebrates Kony [not to praise his feats but to shame them and make him popular...

How dare you forget about Baron Davis

Jeremy Lin? Jeremy Lin!? I understand he’s a good player and he’s been playing great. Averaging what? 20 ppg and 10 assists per night since he became relevant. Well, he has not been relevant that long. Baron Davis or B.D. as I call him is currently Jeremy Lin’s back up on the Knicks and I feel like that’s a crime against humanity. Baron Davis as a back up to Jeremy Lin!? What has this world become? It’s sinful. I am nauseated, repulsed, and...

Finding Your Identity Hurts...All of Us

Bullying is not a recent phenomenon; it has been around for ages--ask Mussolini. Far too often we witness horrible acts due to bullying such as school shootings and suicides, especially among teenagers. Although bullying is coherently the problem, indirectly it’s all our fault. The problem is that we try too hard finding our identity--trying to find a place somewhere and some of us get left out. For instance, in High School, we try very hard to...

A Problem with Islam Today

The lovely Erykah Badu What's wrong with Islam these days? Erykah Badu’s most recent concert has been canceled in Malaysia over a tattoo she has on her body. Officials in Malaysia [a muslim-majority country] claim that tattoos are forbidden in Islam. Of course, news outlets also claim this theology.  BBC reported: “Tattoos are forbidden in Islam...” Yet, searching for any mention of tattoos as a sin in the Quran leads to nowhere.The...

Kobe: The Greatest Being Ever

Number 24 of the Los Angeles Lakers:Kobe "Black Mamba" Bryant Kobe, Kobe, Kobe... Let’s be honest; Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player ever. Having said that, I expect the floodgates to open and the roars of men and women carrying pitchforks and torches come my way. But, settle down. Before we address MJ, let’s discuss the other culprits. For those who say Lebron “King” James, you deserve to get your face slapped off. For those who...

Iraninejad

Atomic bomb deployed by the United Statesover Nagasaki Remember the "Bomb bomb Iran" song? There’s an abundance of confusion when it comes to word sanctions. Most people just let the word pass by as if it was nothing to be perturbed about. As if one was just saying the word irreguardless. People can’t see the criminality in it. So, when the United States mindlessly throws it [sanctions] out there when discussing countries such as: Iran,...

Republican Primary 2012

Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich Why you should care about Newt Gingrich’s personal life... Newt Gingrich’s supporters are like a high school prep rally. They mindlessly cheer for anything that that man (who quietly looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy) spits out.  Even when he called the Palestinian people an “invented people” the audience hooted and hollered at the clever quip not realizing that the most celebrated invented...
