Links to Media Appearances

My freelance work first started to gain national attention in 2011, when during the Republican primary season I wrote a series of essays calling out black conservative and Tea Party darling Herman Cain's racial minstrel shtick. It was great fun and included mentions on Fox News, syndicated Right-Wing talk radio, and a range of websites, blogs, and news magazines such as the following:
