Dozens of You Can Guess What Kind of People started singing the National Anthem at Walmart

lmclemore23

I completely missed this over the weekend, but apparently in an event that injected American Patriotism and Nationalism with 500 cc’s of Cialis, a bunch of people in a Texas Walmart starting an impromptu, off key rendition of the American National Anthem. Now, of course we know that every National Anthem is probably sung off key. Hell, I’m pretty sure it was written off key by slave owner and anti-abolitionist, Francis Scott Key. Off key, by Key. Get it? Ahh, never mind. Anyway, when the video popped up on my…

We are back again with another exclusive interview. BWNC, over the last couple of years, have nabbed a lot of exclusive interviews, but honestly, we never thought we would get Weed aka THC aka Marijuana aka Cannibas aka Your Grandma’s secret medicine. Well, in light of Sha’Carri Richardson being suspended for one month by the Olympic Committee due testing positive for marijuana, getting an interview with the substance was in very high demand. No pun intended on high. Ok, maybe some. Anyway, we got it. And it had a lot…

Queerness Beyond Sexuality, Into Identity, and Toward a Truly Liberated Future

Today is the final day of Pride month 2021. As a Black Queer man, this month always has me reflecting quite deeply on how the meaning of Pride resonates with me and how it continues to evolve over time.  Growing up, we were taught to synonymize Queerness solely with sexuality.  A man should not lay with another man.  There is Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Years of indoctrination socialized us into a reductive conception of what it means to be Queer. It is a “sexual orientation.” Same gender…

We Interview Casamigos and How it Became the Official Black People Drink of Summer

lmclemore23

In a shocking turn of events, Casamigos has seemingly emerged as the official Black people drink of summer. I honestly noticed the trend before this summer, when my Babymomma would request for me to pick up this Casamigos drink from the liquor store during the 30 year quarantine. Here I was, with my regular shmegular Tito’s vodka, while she was knee deep in this new tequila, loving every drunk minute of it. But I thought nothing of it. I figured it was something she got from her IG timeline or…

The American Government is the Popeyes of Governments

We did a lot of Juneteenth, last Juneteenth. Like, it was a lot. I wrote some shit , you wrote some shit, my momma probably wrote some shit, KD’s burner account probably wrote some shit. Everybody wrote some shit. With this universal dedication to bring Juneteenth awareness, it sparked a lot of conversation and a lot of education. This education and awareness trickled into 2021, when the federal government announced that Juneteenth would be recognized as an official federal holiday. That’s right, it only took 150 years to recognize the…
