We are so May. The 5th month of the year brings in another year for Mothers, May Graduations, a time to talk about mental health, and of course: Military Appreciation Month featuring Armed Forces Day and most importantly, Memorial Day. No, we can’t still say or state the phrase “Happy Memorial Day”. That to me is still sacrilegious, especially towards living veterans. Stop that mess. Who in the…

A lot in the last few weeks, actually, within the past month, has been on my mind. It’s been on my heart, soul, and spirit all at once. Exactly, you might be asking what it is that I’m trying to refer to? What’s been going on? What’s been happening? What’s all the concern and the ruckus that has led to me being asked the questions I am prepared to write? The Voting Rights Act of 1965. Oh yes,…

Oh, what a break I had between Black History Month and Women’s History Month. But I’m back to work. Back to the comment on what’s wrong. Back to comment to rant. And back to right the wrongs that many should have gone harder than the last. The game hasn’t left. First: Nick Cannon/Amber Rose: We need to get this out in the open. It seems that Nick Cannon has not been doing his homework when it…

Well, We saw an act of justice last Saturday. It was all over the Internet, the news, and on the same day that WWE SummerSlam was just a tick away to begin in Detroit. But I’m not talking about SummerSlam. I’m talking about the act of justice that occurred in Montgomery where we all know that a Black Co-Captain was attacked by three white men who were just doing his job. He wasn’t a security…

100th Anniversary Black History Month Cake. The 100th edition of Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s work is back in action. It was designed as a way for Black folks to tell, recite, or even record their stories, from the inception of Negro History Week of 1926 to the full celebration of Black History Month. And even though the month-long highlighted celebration is back yet again, it feels different this…

This needs to be said. And as a Black man, I have heard enough of this dress talk. This entire issue, which many of us have yet to discuss, is another distraction from the main concerns or issues we face each day. Since Pastor Jamal Bryant and his wife, Dr. Karri Bryant, have been in the news for some positive developments, the main focus has been on her attire, specifically her black dress. Oh…

It’s time that the Year of the Snake is to be archived in the Snake Pit.  But of course, the living examples of voting, racism, protesting, the aftermath of the dreaded 2024 election that dominated most of the year, and yet many others will linger on. We’ll…

Oh, you know I’m about to go in. 2025 was just all over crazy! It had me on point, it had me on rotation, and it had me bugged out. However, after asking these questions, we might understand it better. But…since this is the last Scratching My Head all this time of the year, it’s not the last! So, as we count down to the latter ticks of 2025, and we prepare for our Watch Night Services, All Night…

Okay……. It seems that the holiest of days is again upon us. We’re talking about Christmas Day. However, by the time you’re reading this, it’s Christmas Eve in the world today. And yes, like many others, you’re out shopping, getting your gifts, and ready to get them wrapped. Or probably watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” or a movie called “The Night Before”, “A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas, “Home…

Here is another one for the Centaur. And our season has determined Archers summarized for the 12th straight time! Quivers and Bows Well, fellow Sagittarius folks, it seems that our Season of the Centaur is about to end for another year. Yes, I know. But I have a feeling that it’s going to be alright! Yes, I know you, Capricorns, and other Zodiacs are about to take over that Zodiac Baton in all…

Happy Sagittarius Season to all Archers! (November 22nd – December 21st) No matter if your birthday is observed, currently in progress, ongoing, or will come up, have fun! Shoot your arrows and go with the blaze of glory in your path. I, however, am another age, and a page or level has moved up to #49 on December 5th. I enjoyed the trip around the sun and am looking forward to the next trip to…

It’s been a long while since I wrote a post-Thanksgiving blog. And yet, it’s only been about 6 years. So in honor of that, here it is. With upgrades. By now, you had the turkey. You had the dressing. You had the cranberry sauce, vegetables, and pie. You’re probably stuffed with all the food. And yes, you probably went to a late-night club and got started by shaking down those pounds, carbs, and…
