Prior to this November’s election, a massive afro pick sculpture will comb its way through the country as a symbol of strength and unity.  New York artist Hank Willis Thomas sculpted a 28-foot tall, 7,000 pound afro pick that he calls “All Power to All People.” The piece is part of his Kindred Arts project and is a work of art that […]

To say the absolute least, 2020 has been a deeply tiring amalgam of horrors. And with news of the COVID-19 pandemic and police escalation against protesters still gripping the U.S., it’s admittedly daunting to imagine we must also endure a presidential election this year. But it’s those concerns that make this year another crucial one for […]

Over the weekend a wide-ranging Elon Musk interview with The New York Times was published. As you can tell from your built in powers of intuition (and also the headline) one of the topics that came up was Kanye West‘s current presidential campaign. Specifically, Musk thinks the time for Kanye’s run would be better suited for 2024. “I’ve done my […]

Kanye West is taking the stage on Sunday for his first-ever campaign rally, which is being held in Charleston, South Carolina. News of the event arrived over the weekend, after the rapper made some serious moves to get himself added to ballots in multiple states. Attendees were asked to follow strict social distancing guidelines, which […]

With less than four months until Election Day, Donald Trump has decided to replace Brad Parscale as his re-election campaign manager.  The president announced the shake-up via social media on Wednesday, confirming Parscale would be succeeded by Bill Stepien, a political operative who worked in the 2016 Trump campaign as the national field director. POTUS said Parscale, who was tapped to lead […]

Donald Trump appears to believe that Kanye West can take away votes from former Vice President Joe Biden. Trump took to Twitter writing, “That shouldn’t be hard. Corrupt Joe has done nothing good for Black people!” in response to a story where a Black Trump campaign advisor discussed Kanye stealing the black vote from Biden. While […]

Kanye West took his political ambitions to the next level when he announced he’s running for president in November. While some people are intrigued by this, one of West’s close collaborators isn’t sold on the idea. On Monday, Stephen Jackson condemned Kanye’s move by re-posting a tweet from DJ Hed on his Instagram. In the […]

It seems like another dynamic has been added to this already bizarre presidential race.  If you haven’t heard by now, Kanye West celebrated the Fourth of July by announcing that he’ll be running for the President of the United States.  “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our […]

Attempting to stack up political confidence ahead of an election by touting polls is, as recent history has made quite clear, not a good idea. Still, it’s hard not to at least pay a bit of attention to a fresh poll from the New York Times and Sienna College in which Joe Biden takes 50 percent and […]

As if a global pandemic and the persistence of racist ideologies masquerading as policing and/or “heritage” weren’t enough, 2020 is also bringing us another presidential election. If you’re unfortunate enough to also remember how everything ultimately shook down for the United States back in 2016, then you need no reminder of what’s at stake as Americans once […]
