My commitment to money grubbing is boiled down to a very simple concept – I don’t like being told what to do. You probably can’t tell from my writings, but when provoked, I sometimes lose my temper.

Human beings, especially us black ones, weren’t designed to withstand these conditions. It ain’t natural. You know? On the bright side, I have [...]
While studying US News & World Reports rankings of the Best Colleges of 2012, I realized something. Nation, we’ve lost our minds. There’s simply no other explanation than we’re completely mad.
