Dodger ‘fan’ riots were a swing in the wrong direction
Share: After an amazing win by the Dodgers, some of their supposed fans took to the streets in an appalling showcase of poor sportsmanship by looting, rioting, and vandalizing LA. Since then there has been finger pointing with Dodger fans getting the blame. It should be apparent, however, those who took to the streets were simply people who were searching for any excuse to do whatever they want. It was difficult to believe that such a thing would happen when first seeing news coverage. Police …

Stop trying to cancel Tyler, The Creator
Share: It seems that almost every two years, a new group of people discover Tyler, The Creator’s older music and flip a table about the subject matter he included in his art from the embryonic stage of his discography.

HBCU caravan brings opportunities to Black students beyond California

ASPCC’s ‘cozy’ Harry Potter party post-election is cringe
Share: My memories of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ are intense. Like millions of other millennials, I had been in line to buy the book at midnight on its release day, both younger siblings at my side. At the time, our parents were going through a divorce. So when we happily left the bookstore with our prize, we found ourselves caught in the middle of parental politics that left the three of us briefly homeless. It was 1:00 a.m. and we were welcome at …
