Urban Warriors, have you heard the news?!
The jobless rate has reached record heights. Unemployment is approaching 10 percent and, despite optimistic talk from economy experts in other areas, the job market is expected to be the last sector to reflect an upturn. So, to the 1 in 10 Urban Warriors out there today actively searching for work, tell us about your journey.
This number, of course, represents only the tip of the iceberg. It only hints at the underemployed, those citizens searching for…

More than anything else, this fussy debate, too ridiculous to bring out the big guns on either side of the culture wars, finally exposes, naked and undeniably, the flimsiness of our outmoded gender categories and the truly changing nature of femininity and masculinity.
It's now m…

Michael Jackson has died. We, of course, heard the news in the dusk of Thursday night; in time for quick programming changes before the dawn of primetime. We watched the inital media response and called our loved ones in disbelief.
In fact, the truth of Michael's passing didn't hit me until this morning away from Katie Couric and the paparazzi stationed outside of the hospital. Finally, in the words of Dick Clark and the radio DJ's charged with bringing the sad news to those that missed last ni…

What’s up with the “Backfro?!”
Jay and Kanye, the leaders of the New Rat Pack showed out on the Grammy stage in black tuxedos and bow ties for a first time, whole crew performance of “Swagger” (including a very bold, pregnant, and polka-dotted M.I.A).
The song was still as hot as it ever was. The guys were too smooth and yet, as we were enjoying the boastfulness of the whole scene, of Wayne and Jay and Kanye in silk and patent leather, our faces couldn’t help but scrunch at the hair.
I get it.…

Each day we go about our business, walking past each other, catching each others’ eyes or not, about to speak or speaking. All about us is noise. All about us is noise and bramble, thorn and din, each one of our ancestors on our tongues. Someone is stitching up a hem, darning a hole in a uniform, patching a tire, repairing the things in need of repair.
Someone is trying to make music somewhere with a pair of wooden spoons on an oil drum with cello, boom box, harmonica, voice.
A woman and her s…

Rendered in quick cuts, high art and the ascetics of pop culture and music television, our modern interpretation of history is digital, with bound books full of the written word coming to look like a dusty relic of another time.
Talk about the 60’s, or the 70’s, or the 50s and one’s mind goes directly to images of Jimi Hendrix in a headband, a magnificent disco ball hanging in Studio 54, or ankle socks and Mary Jane’s (respectively). While the details of the images may differ depending on where…

In one week, Barack Obama will be sworn in as our new Commander-in-Chief.
Urban Warriors, I won’t be in DC. Times are tight. I’ve got bills to pay here in the Triangle and so I won’t be a live witness to one of the most historic events of modern history. Just the same, I’ll be someplace thick with a group of citizens, in tears, under the brilliant shine of a brighter future for all of our communities.
When they ask you, “Why do you cry?” what will you say? What will be in your heart as Barack…

Urban Warriors, I think that it’s time to scream from the underground to our sisters and brothers voicing pop music for the masses and say “It’s just too much!”
Remember when 112’s “Peaches and Cream” was risqué!? Let me tell you, Urban Warriors, this morning, an impossible Monday morning after a long week and a too short weekend, I was racing down the hill, fighting the morning commute, trying to get my mind right for the start of another week and I couldn’t stop wishing for the bed because, as…
