Uncle Luke, the man who made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. Today, Luke gives so,e advice to the world's most popular golfer.

It's high time Tiger Woods stops putting up with the blatant racism thrown at him. He needs to stand up to fools like his golfing rival, Sergio Garcia, who revealed his racist side during the European Tour Player of the Year Awards on May 21.

The Golf Channel's Steve Sands asked Garcia, a white Spaniard, if he would be inviting Woods for dinner at next month's U.S. Open. Garcia replied, "We'll be having him round every night... and serving him fried chicken." He's not the first imbecile from golf's lily-white establishment to deride Woods because of his race.

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke says its time to investigate Drew Rosenhaus.

It's time for the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) to investigate North Miami native and sports agent Drew Rosenhaus. For too long, the league has looked the other way when it comes to Rosenhaus' shady business tactics and questionable representation of his clients. Last week, Yahoo! Sports broke the latest scandal to engulf the multimillionaire self-proclaimed "shark that never sleeps."

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. Today, Luke wants to see justice for Kiera Wilmot.

In Bartow, Florida, public school and law enforcement officials are committing a horrible injustice against an exceptionally gifted African-American teenager. By all accounts, 16-year-old Kiera Wilmot is a model honors student. She has good grades and has a perfect behavior record. She's not a kid who skips classes, fights her classmates and teachers, or pulls fire alarms for kicks.

In the battle of Miami billionaires, Norman Braman beat Stephen Ross thanks to Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford.

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. Today, Luke responds to a BET columnist's criticisms.

Two days ago, Cord Jefferson, a young columnist for BET Networks looking to build a name for himself, wrote a response to my column, "African Americans Need To Use Condoms," claiming I'm wasting time giving out condoms and educating black people about practicing safe sex.

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke talks about the importance of safe sex.

When New York-based prophylactics company b Condoms approached me about doing a safe-sex campaign, it was a partnership opportunity I didn't want to pass up. While I've always been a champion for getting freaky, African-Americans need learn to protect themselves first. We're number one in murders, gun violence, poverty, unemployment, teen pregnancies, and getting sexually transmitted diseases. I'm tired of being number one.

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking music made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke explains why Americans fuel terrorism.

It's a beautiful thing when Americans come together during a crisis. Whether it's hurricane or a children's massacre or a terrorist act, it's amazing to see us come together in trying times. It's too bad we can't do that when a catastrophe isn't threatening us.

Before Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsnarnaev blasted the Boston Marathon and terrorized Bean Town last week, Americans have been at each other's throats over immigration, gun control, the economy, and Jay-Z's and Beyonce's trip to Cuba. And that's just last week.

Uncle Luke, the man who made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke says its time to legalize medical marijuana.

Florida lawmakers need to roll up a fat joint and chill out. While the Republican-dominated state legislature moves full speed ahead to ban the sale of bongs and glass pipes, they are ignoring a measure to legalize medical marijuana in the Sunshine State. Legislators must think we're still living in 1936, the year the anti-marijuana film Reefer Madness hit movie theaters across the country.

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke goes in on the NCAA's plantation blueprint.

The scandal at Rutgers University, where basketball coach Mike Rice was fired after video showed him physically abusing players, once again shows that the NCAA lacks institutional control. Just like the child-abuse cover-up involving former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, the NCAA was nowhere to be found as Rice wreaked havoc on these young men.

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke assesses a former boy band member's success.

Justin Timberlake really understands how to sell records. Last week, The 20/20 Experience, his first in seven years, debuted at the top of the Billboard charts. It's the best-selling album of 2013 so far, moving 968,000 units, and the 32-year-old R&B crooner did it by taking it back to the old school of entertainment. He went on a major publicity blitz before the album dropped March 19.
