KKK: Authorities Discover Underground White Supremacist Network In San Francisco

“ Racism still exists, they just be concealing it”… in one of the most tolerant cities in the country? Authorities say the number of white supremacist groups in San Francisco is a serious and expanding. Last November, two Mexican nationals were attacked outside a bar in the tTenderloin by a group of white supremacists yelling as they beat one of the men unconscious. Three men were arrested. One of the men, Anthony Weston, testified against the other two. “In exchange for giving us the information about skin heads moving here to San Francisco he was offered a plea bargain,” San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Victor Hwang said. Weston served 10 months in prison. The other two have not been sentenced. But Weston gave investigators information about white supremacist groups in San Francisco. Investigators also found Nazi and white supremacists paraphernalia inside one of the attacker’s apartment. According to San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon, there are three groups operating in the city. “We have probably in excess of 40 to 50 individuals that are documented white supremacists and nearly another 150 or so that are associates that are operating within the city,” Gascon said. The district attorney’s office says they are involved in drug trafficking, identity theft and other crimes. Most of them belonged to a white supremacist group in prison and have moved to San Francisco. Wow, San Fran… Can’t say we’re totally surprised though.

Jimmy Iovine Has A Message For All You Rappers With Headphones: Dr. Dre Already Did It! You Can Try…

Beats by Dre has been dominating the game since it stepped on the scene in 2008. Creators, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, have just launched the 2011 Holiday Collection last week in NYC. Lately, a number of companies have tried to duplicate the Beats by Dre product and here’s what Jimmy Iovine has to say about it… “You see all these rappers now with headphones – let them try – Dre is not a just a rapper. He’s a master of sound, which reflects in our products… So all these other rappers can try to introduce their own headphones. It doesn’t bother us at all. All it does is make us look better.” Some of you may say that Jimmy Iovine is just playing favoritism towards his own brand but we can’t even lie… Beats by Dre allows you to hear music how it was meant to be heard! The way it was mixed and mastered in the studio. For more info on what the holiday collection will bring… keep reading: 2011 Holiday Collection: New colors for the standard headphones — pink, orange, purple, blue and grey ($350, due in stores next week); a Beats Wireless Solo Bluetooth model (due next month, no price yet); the “Portable Beat Box,” with built-in bluetooth; and special DJ headphones (both due for the holidays, no price yet). They also announced a Beats by Dr. Dre pop-up store, which will be located on Mercer Street in Manhattan and will be open through the holiday season. Source
