Source: Slaven Vlasic / Getty Zerlina Maxwell Questions Why White Reporters Are So Ignorant To Black Culture Earlier this morning Kamala Harris walked out onto a stage to Tupac Shakur’s “California” at a book event in Washington, D.C. During the conversation, she made mention that she is a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and was met with a resounding round of “skee-wee’s”. Chelsea Janes (guess the race), a national reporter for the Washington Post was on-hand to cover the event and was utter confused by the sound of pink and green, she tweeted (and subsequently deleted, but we’ll get to why in a minute): Members of her Howard sorority are in the room and screeched when she mentioned her time there. Did not expect to hear screeches here. Chelsea was completely oblivious to the signal of the AKA’s and her ignorance sparked an annoyed backlash on Twitter. One such annoyed party is SiriusXM Senior Director of Progressive Programming and MSNBC regular Zerlina Maxwell. She rightfully and incredulously asked why white reporters are allowed to consistently lack knowledge of Black culture. Kamala is running for POTUS (probably). She's an AKA. The fact that the white reporter sent to cover her didn't know what Skee Wee was is not a good sign that the media is going to cover her with the cultural competency required. And it IS a requirement! pic.twitter.com/9MrZuGynIz — Zerlina Maxwell (@ZerlinaMaxwell) January 10, 2019 Valid. Point. Sista. Preach. For her part, Chelsea deleted the tweet and offered a mea culpa for her uneducated take. Guys, I’m so sorry. Had never heard about the Skee Wee call before, but I certainly have now. Meant only to convey enthusiasm in the room! https://t.co/bHI0eBPegP — Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes) January 10, 2019 Legit thanks to all who pointed out my ignorance. Big whiff. I know better now, and am sorry I didn’t before! — Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes) January 10, 2019 Anyway, my main point was that Howard loved Harris and showed it tonight. My apologies to the AKAs. — Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes) January 10, 2019 White journalists need to do more journalism…

A former student who flunked out of Howard Medical School is suspected of sparking a scare about an active shooter on campus earlier this week at the HBCU in Northwest Washington, D.C., according to ABC 7-WJLA . RELATED: ‘Active Shooter’ Reported On Howard University Campus Details are still sparse about the incident that sparked calls to the police about 12:04 p.m. Tuesday, but Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham told the television news station that they were not a hoax. “It seems like the initial caller called because they received information from a third party so they called in good faith,” he said. Stephen Whetstone of Howard’s Health Sciences section told the news station that school officials were aware of an angry former medical student, whose name has not been released to the public. The man had flunked out and had made numerous threats. “He had made threats to come back and shoot up the testing center at Stokes Library,” Whetstone told the news station, “so he had made that kind of threat and I think he was pretty much targeting his former classmates.” The man, whose ex-girlfriend is a student on campus, reportedly had taken out a restraining order. He allegedly warned that if she alerted authorities about the threats that her sister and grandmother would be targeted, the report said. More than two hours after news of an active shooter was on campus, Howard University President Wayne A.I. Frederick said the school was “all clear.” Some students complained they had hoped for more crisis updates from school officials at the time of the incident, which raised concern after a man was arrested recently for making death threats against Howard students . It also raised concern because festivities for the school’s homecoming, which draws a large crowd, begins Oct. 20.

I’ve posted a lot of bikini shoots on this site over the years, but I’m pretty sure this one from Lexi Wood might just be one of my all-time favorites. I mean, not only is the Canadian model a total smokeshow, but she also seems to have no idea how to properly wear a bikini. I completely understand why the photographers asked her to just take it off.
I’ve got a new find for you guys today: Georgina Howard . Now I don’t know a whole lot about her, other than the fact that she’s British (I’m pretty sure) and she’s a total pants fire (I’m definitely sure). Also, she’s got to be a real model and not just another professional Instagram nobody because last I checked, she’s only got something like 2,000 followers . But I bet this photoshoot changes that. » view all 27 photos
