Georgia School Superintendent Uses The N-Word And Says He Will ‘Kill’ Black People

J ust another day in America. Audio recordings of Buford City Schools superintendent Geye Hamby talking about killing “n***ers” and more violent behavior has leaked. He is now on leave. See Also: President Donald Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims Could Lead To More Voter Suppression In June, a federal lawsuit was filed against Hamby in U.S. District Court in Atlanta for using racial slurs against Black workers at a construction site. Mary Ingram, 66, filed the lawsuit when she was fired in 2017 after working for the school district for nearly 20 years. AJC.com reports, “Ingram and Hamby clashed after she questioned why the color gold — representing the city’s Black school district before the system was integrated in 1969 — wasn’t included in the district’s green and white emblem. Ingram said an agreement had been reached decades ago to have gold incorporated into Buford schools’ colors.” In addition, “Ingram continued to receive write-ups over the next two years until June 14, 2017, when she was told she was fired. Her termination letter said she was ‘perceived as being disrespectful, argumentative and unfriendly and not a good fit in a school environment.’” Now it looks like Hamby will be jobless. In the audio, he says, “(Expletive) that (n-word). I’ll kill these (expletive) — shoot that (expletive) if they let me,” and “Don’t send us a deadbeat n—- from a temp service.” Listen below: LISTEN. A recording has recently been released from what is said to be from an Atlanta area school superintendent – Geye Hamby. In it, he repeatedly and casually refers to African Americans as niggers and even casually speaks about wanting to shoot some niggers. Via @AJC pic.twitter.com/qn9skkOYUz — Shaun King (@shaunking) August 24, 2018 It is not clear when Hamby made these comments. However, even with this clear audio, an attorney representing the school board said the board has “been unable to determine its veracity and authenticity and whether the recording was altered and was at the consent of at least one party or the product of illegal surveillance. Our investigation continues into this matter, but we are hamstrung in that the plaintiff has failed or refused to produce the original recording for testing or provide any information concerning the background or foundation of the recording,” according to AJC.com. Again, Hamby is on administrative leave. Hopefully, he never returns to the school district.

Dylann Roof Facing New Competency Hearing Ahead Of Charleston Church Sentencing

SMH…. Dylann Roof To Face New Competency Hearing Dylann Roof will have a new competency hearing ahead of his sentencing. The murderer who was convicted on all 33 counts in relation to that 2015 Charleston church shooting, will undergo a second hearing to determine if he’s competent to stand trial at his sentencing. Roof, who wants to represent himself during sentencing, was found guilty of nine counts of hate crimes resulting in death, three counts of hate crimes involving an attempt to kill, nine counts of obstructing the exercise of religion resulting in death, three counts of that charge with an attempt to kill, and nine counts of using a firearm to commit murder during a crime of violence. Jurors will decide if he deserves the death penalty or life in prison. USA Today reports: Standby counsel for Dylann Roof, 22, filed a motion under seal Thursday asking Judge Richard Gergel of U.S. District Court in Charleston determine whether the defendant is competent to proceed with the sentencing phase. Gergel granted that motion and scheduled the competency hearing for Monday, a federal holiday, with jurors expected to reconvene for the sentencing phase Tuesday. The motion came one day after a hearing in which Roof again said he would represent himself during the sentencing. He told the court he planned to offer an opening statement but will not call witnesses or submit evidence in his defense […] With sentencing set to begin in five days, Roof again has dismissed the lawyers, a move that prevents them from submitting evidence that he suffers from a mental defect. Evaluations and testimony from mental health experts in the sentencing phase often are considered key factors that might persuade jurors to vote for a life sentence over execution. In court filings, Roof has indicated he will not call mental health experts, reversing a course his lawyers had planned earlier. Hopefully, this murderous trash is ruled competent before his sentencing in January.

Justice: Black Women’s Book Club Wins $11 Million Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Against Napa Valley Wine Train

Black Women’s Book Club Wins $11 Million Lawsuit Against Napa Valley Wine Train A Black women’s book club group were harshly removed from a California vineyard tour after white patrons accused them of being too loud on their train ride. According to Reuters reports: Eleven women have reached a settlement with a California wine train company they sued for $11 million for racial discrimination after they were kicked off the train for being too loud, their lawyer said on Monday. Members of the Sistahs on the Reading Edge Book Club came to an “amicable settlement” with the Napa Valley Wine Train company on Thursday, six months after filing a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Northern California, their attorney Waukeen McCoy said. “We hope that other businesses learn from this case and implement diversity and sensitivity training for employees,” McCoy said in an email to Reuters. McCoy did not disclose the terms of the settlement. The 11 women, 10 of whom are African-American, were ordered off the vintage train on Aug. 22 after other passengers complained the group was too loud. The expulsion sparked widespread anger on social media. The controversy unfolded as the United States grapples with persistent issues of racism and discrimination following high-profile police killings of unarmed black men over the last two years, which triggered waves of protest and a renewed civil rights movement under the banner of “Black Lives Matter.” Justice!!!!

Betcha He Ain’t Dancin’ Now: Rich Homie Quan Suing Record Label For $2 Milli In Unpaid Wages

Rich Homie Quan Leaves Label, Files Lawsuit Y’all weren’t listening when A Tribe Called Quest told you #IndustryRuleNumber4080? Looks like Rich Homie Quan had to find out the hard way because he is now suing his label, claiming they owe him MILLIONS!!! Check out the following statement, released today: Rap star Rich Homie Quan (Dequantes Lamar) today announced that he has filed suit against Girvan Henry, Think It’s A Game Entertainment, LLC (TIG Entertainment) and Fly Merchandise Enterprises, LLC . Rich Homie Quan is seeking more than two million in unpaid earnings from his label and its founder, and has severed ties with Henry and TIG Entertainment+. According to court documents filed today with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, (Case No. 1:15 -CV-2775-TCB), Quan claims he and TIG Entertainment were engaged in a partnership to sell his music, and that due to breaches of that partnership agreement, he has terminated his partnership with Henry’s TIG Entertainment. Court documents outline 12-counts that claim Henry has not accounted for, nor paid monies earned by Quan, including royalties, for at least four albums, which featured songs including “Flex” and RIAA Gold Certified, international hit “Type of Way.” The suit names Def Jam Recordings via a partnership with Henry, and Trinidad James’ record label, Gold Gang Music Group, LLC, by which Def Jam paid Henry and Gold Gang $550,000 and distributed “Type of Way.” Quan says Henry and Gold Gang had no rights to the song’s masters and he never signed a record deal with Def Jam or Gold Gang. The claim also states that Henry misappropriated funds garnered from Def Jam for “Type of Way” when Henry purchased property in Atlanta (244 Peters St., Atlanta, Ga.) with said money. In addition, Quan claims that Henry, through Fly Merchandise Enterprises, LLC fraudulently claimed ownership of a logo that included Quan’s name and Henry profited from the use of that logo. Henry misrepresented ownership of Rich Homie Quan’s name, likeness and logo marks by filing two trademark applications with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (U.S. Reg. Nos. 4,483,756 and 4,746,133). Quan’s litigation attorney, Leron Rogers , a partner at Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith LLP Attorneys, stated: “Unfortunately this is a classic case of a music artist being ripped off by those claiming to have his best interest in mind. Quan has more than delivered on his part of the partnership, delivering hit songs that have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Mr. Henry has taken advantage of Quan, and now it’s time for him to receive his just due.” Co-Counsel, Brianna Williams of Mélange, a Williams Firm, echoed Mr. Rogers’ sentiments stating, “Quan has worked really hard to achieve his vision of becoming a successful artist. He deserves to be compensated in a fair and just manner. While it is unfortunate that he has had to seek resolution of this issue through the legal system, we fully expect that justice will prevail.” Damn, if this is true we hope this brother gets the money owed to him! He has a kid to feed!

BOSSIP Exclusive – 2Chainz “THOT”: Rapper’s Taunts Made Me Want To End It All

Christine Chisholm Says She Slit Her Wrists After “THOT” Video Came Out The woman suing 2Chainz for branding her a “THOT” in an online video said the footage left her suicidal. Christine Chisholm said she tried to end her life several times by slitting her wrists and upper thighs after her mother told her that being in the “THOT” video had shamed the family. Chisholm said she also took it hard that bullies targeted her sister, Elizabeth, a student at the University of North Carolina, taunting her with “Is this your thot?”, “Thot-Tina,” and “Are you a thot?” Chisholm, 26 said she didn’t go to the hospital after the suicide attempts, but eased her despondency by attending church and confiding in her nearest and dearest. Chisholm made the sad claims in new court docs July 20 in the U.S. District Court in Charlotte, N.C., where she asked a judge for a speedy trial or settlement. Besides the suicide attempt, the woman said a stripper jumped her because of the video, and she now has to travel everywhere with security. “In this particular case, the plaintiff Christine Chisholm was called a thot before being scratched in the face numerous times,” the filing reads. “The plaintiff did not seek medical treatment at the time, since the scratches were not life threatening. The plaintiff did hire personal security to accompany her on numerous occasions.” Chisholm sued 2Chainz earlier this month, alleging that a video he shot of her backstage at a concert with the hash tag #IzThatYoThot, humiliated her and ruined her life. She claims 2Chainz’s video—which has been viewed millions of times –means she can’t date, lost her job as a receptionist in a barber shop and is constantly ridiculed in public. Chisholm originally asked for $5 million in damages, but has since upped the stakes by asking for $10 million. Chisholm maintains that she was invited backstage by 2Chainz friend Cap 1, and goes as far as to draw a diagram of the club for a blow-by-blow account of her version of events. She said she has pics of her and 2Chainz as well as 2Chainz’s DJ that show they all knew each other, and the rapper “had malicious intent to defame the plaintiff and gain publicity.”

Too Soon: Wife-Abusing Baller Ray Rice Could Be Reinstated To The NFL Next Month

This isn’t gonna go over well… NFL May Be Forced To Reinstate Ray Rice In November Via CBSSports Former Ravens running back Ray Rice remains suspended indefinitely following the publication of the video of him striking his now-wife, Janay, in a casino elevator, but he could be reinstated within the next four weeks, sources said. An appeal hearing date has been set, with a final decision expected to come in an expeditious manner thereafter, and all of that could be resolved by mid-November, which would conceivably allow Rice to sign with another team this season. Perhaps, even if reinstated, teams will find him too controversial to sign, but there is every expectation his playing status will be resolved before the NFL’s investigation into its handling of his case, being conducted by former FBI chief Robert Mueller, is completed. Former U.S. District Court Judge Barbara S. Jones is handling the appeal as a neutral, third-party arbitrator, and all sides in the case have agreed to a date to conduct the hearing in the near future. That date could change somewhat based on what Jones rules this week on some requests the NFLPA made to have certain materials available to them in discovery, but sources said Rice’s legal team has made it explicitly clear it has no desire to wait until the NFL and the NFLPA’s investigations are concluded to resolve the matter of this suspension appeal. Rice has maintained he did not lie in his testimony to Commissioner Roger Goodell, and his legal team will make the case that even under the NFL’s new domestic violence policy, and as a first-time offender, Rice should be suspended a maximum of six games, which has already passed. Furthermore, they will make the argument that the video tape of Rice’s actions were available to the team and the league throughout the process of determining his discipline, and thus nothing changed whatsoever with the case from the time Rice was suspended two games, until eventually being suspended indefinitely, save for TMZ obtaining and posting the video. Numerous legal experts I’ve spoken to believe Rice has an exceedingly strong case, and, considering it could be Week 10 or so before this hearing is resolved, it’s hard for them to conceive that Rice isn’t reinstated by Jones as part of her decision. If he is, would a team like the Colts, coached by former Ravens assistant Chuck Pagano who thinks highly of Rice, or New England, where Bill Belichick has very strong ties to Rice’s college coach, Greg Schiano, take a chance on Rice if they need a running back down the stretch? We wouldn’t be surprised if the NFL is literally BEGGING Ray to take the rest of the year off to keep the heat off of their shady azzes. Image via AP

Really???? Death Penalty Overturned For Kansas City Bros Who Raped And Executed Four Friends

Rapist murderers don’t deserve this kind of luck Murderous Carr Brothers Have Death Penalty Sentence Overturned Via DailyMail The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday overturned the death sentences of two brothers convicted of killing four friends who were robbed and forced to engage in sex acts before being shot to death and left in a snow-covered Wichita field. The court also struck down three of the four capital murder convictions each against Jonathan and Reginald Carr, citing procedural problems at the brothers’ joint trial for its decisions. It upheld one capital murder conviction for each of them. Prosecutors said the brothers broke into a Wichita home in December 2000 and forced the five people there to have sex with each other and later to withdraw money from ATMs. Two women were raped repeatedly before all five were taken to a soccer field and shot while they were kneeling. Four of them — 29-year-old Aaron Sander, 27-year-old Brad Heyka, 26-year-old Jason Befort and 25-year-old Heather Muller — died. One of the women survived a gunshot wound to the head and she ran naked through the snow to seek help. She became a key witness at the brothers’ trial on the capital murder convictions. The killings ended a series of crimes that authorities alleged the Carr brothers committed over nine days in December 2000. How did these brothers escape the death chamber after committing such heinous crimes? Well… The Kansas Supreme Court ruled 6-1 in overturning the Carr brothers’ death sentences because the presiding judge did not hold separate sentencing proceedings for each man. In overturning most of their capital murder convictions, the majority said the instructions to jurors had been flawed because the judge tied those charges to the rape of the surviving victim, not the deceased ones. The brothers’ cases will return to Sedgwick County District Court for further proceedings Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and several GOP legislators were immediately critical of the decisions, which involved crimes that were among the most notorious in the state since the 1959 slayings of a western Kansas family that inspired the book In Cold Blood. The legislators said the ruling shows the court’s unwillingness to uphold a death sentence, and the governor said he was stunned. ‘They were convicted by a jury of their peers in front of an elected local judge,’ Brownback said in a statement. ‘Today’s ruling unnecessarily reopens wounds of a tragic moment in Wichita’s history.’ Sounds like these azzholes dodged the bullet that their victims were unable to. Now we have to waste taxpayer money housing them in prison. Images via Police Handout

Tracy Morgan Sues Wal-Mart for “Negligent” Role in Fatal Car Crash, Returns Home

Tracy Morgan, still recuperating from injuries suffered in a horrific car accident last month, has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart. The crash took place on June 7 and also took the life of Morgan’s good friend, Jimmy McNair, who was riding with the comedian and others in a limo on the way home from a show in Delaware. Wal-Mart driver Kevin Roper had allegedly been awake for over 24 hours when he lost control of his vehicle, leading to a six-car pile-up. 11 Uproarious Tracy Jordan Quotes 1. Tracy on intelligence: “You’re even dumber than I look!” The legal papers were filed in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey on behalf of Morgan, McNair’s widow and comedian Ardie Fuqua and Morgan’s assistant Jeffrey Millea (also injured in the crash). They state that “Wal-Mart was careless and negligent in the ownership and operation of its motor vehicle, which caused Mr. Morgan to suffer severe personal injuries.” The complaint continues: “As a direct and proximate result of said collision, Mr. Morgan was caused to sustain severe painful bodily injuries, including but not limited to multiple fractures which required multiple surgeries, extensive medical treatment and will require significant physical rehabilitation.” Tracy Morgan: On the Mend The suit alleges that “Wal-Mart knew, or should have known” that Roper – who was later charged for his role in the incident – was “awake for more than 24 consecutive hours” prior to the collision. Morgan is out of the hospital and in a rehab center, where sources say he’s showing “signs of improvement.” In an earlier statement, Wal-Mart said “we are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved,” adding, “We’re committed to doing the right thing for all involved.” UPDATE : Morgan is on his way home to complete his recovery.
