O.J. Simpson has provided the blueprint on how to get out of prison early when facing a long sentence. It’s really simple: Keep your nose clean. Considering all the controversy the Juice got himself into prior to his 2008 conviction for strong-armed robbery, that was no easy task. The Hall…
When it comes to supporting inner-city youth programs, the Miami Heat is nowhere to be found. Team owner Mickey Arison and president Pat Riley should be ashamed. The organization has won three world championships with some of the greatest African-American players in the history of hoops.

The Democratic Party is in desperate need of a major overhaul. Nationally, the party lost the crucial special election for Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District earlier this week.

University of Miami defensive end Chad Thomas has the talent and skills to be a number one pick in next year’s NFL draft. That’s if he doesn’t sign a multimillion-dollar recording deal. Thomas, a Liberty City native, has become one of Miami’s most sought-after music producers under the name Major…

The City of Miami might want to consider testing Barnaby Min for drugs. The deputy city attorney must have been high when he compared legalizing medical marijuana to legalizing pedophilia during a Miami Planning Board session last week. He was arguing against dispensaries in the city. In the tape of that meeting, Min comes off like that college stoner kid who takes massive bong rips before giving a speech in class.
The appointment of former FBI director Robert Mueller as the special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign ties to Russia dooms the president. Just look at the last time a big-time lawyer was appointed to investigate a commander-in-chief.

Donald Trump’s token black friend Ben Carson came through Miami yesterday to tour public housing projects with two other token African Americans, Rep. Frederica Wilson and Miami Heat executive Alonzo Mourning. The highlight of the HUD secretary’s day came when and six other federal bureaucrats got stuck in an elevator…
If we’re going to legalize, we ought to expunge the criminal record of every person ever convicted of a marijuana crime. For years, white people bought their weed from the brothers. Even the white guy who sold the stuff got it from an African-American. Yet a disproportionate number of blacks have spent years in jail for trafficking and possession.
Miami-Dade commissioners — particularly Barbara Jordan and Audrey Edmonson — last week let down their constituents. How? They punted for a third straight year on coming up with a system to give $14 million in funding to nonprofit groups.
Black people voted big against Donald Trump. He won only 8 percent of our vote. Whites elected him. And now they need to impeach him. And then Barack Obama should sue him for slander.
When it comes to grassroots community work that helps children, the Liberty City Optimist Club does an incredible job with limited resources. So why won’t Miami-Dade pitch in? Next week, the county commission will vote on how to dole out $2.4 million to dozens of community-based organizations. The cash is…
Donald Trump’s false accusation that Barack Obama tapped phones at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign is nothing more than a diversionary tactic. The 45th president wants to deflect the media attention from his closest advisers’ criminal behavior.
When film director Barry Jenkins and playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney took the stage to accept the best adapted screenplay Oscar for their movie, Moonlight, they let the world know where they came from. “Thank God for my mother who proved to me through her struggles, and the struggles that Naomi…
This must be the year of the black movie. The Miami-made film Moonlight is nominated for eight Oscars at this Sunday’s ceremony. But Hollywood has a long way to go before it can claim that African-American movies and TV shows are on equal footing. In fact, Moonlight’s success doesn’t make…
