#ApartmentPatty Pleads Her “I’m Not Racist” Case, But Says She’d Still Block The Black Man From Entering The Building All Over Again [Video]

Remember the Missouri woman who suddenly appointed herself apartment security when she saw a Black man she didn’t know attempting to peacefully go home in the same complex she lived in? Welp, she’s been appropriately dragged via the internet, fired from her actual position in property management across town, and generally embarrassed for the last few days since the video went viral. #ApartmentPatty, or Hilary Thornton as her mama calls her, took to Fox2Now in STL to plead her case about how she’s not at all racist (just obnoxious and self-important?), mainly because she’s still legally married to some 50% Black man who doesn’t even like or speak to her anymore. Peep her fellow mayo meddler who openly admits that she purposefully prevents her neighbors from getting their mail or packages in a timely fashion because she refuses to let the UPS man in the door. *Eyeroll* Image via Michael /Heim/EyeEm/FGetty

Taylor Swift Shocks 96-Year Old Vet, Is So Totally Awesome

Sorry, Lorde. Move over, Selena Gomez. Take a seat, Karlie Kloss. Taylor Swift has a new best friend. And we have a new reason to absolutely adore Taylor Swift. You can go ahead and focus on how she and Tom Hiddleston made for the worst celebrity couple of 2016 . Or you can choose to dislike Swift for her major feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West , seeing her as fake and disingenuous simply because she may have misled the public a little bit over knowledge of a song lyric. That’s your choice, to be cynical. We’re going to choose to celebrate Swift’s unparalleled kindness instead. It was on display yet against this week, as Swift surprised one of her biggest fans with a special holiday appearance and personal concert. She stopped by the Missouri home of Cyrus Porter, a 96-year old World War II veteran who has attended numerous Taylor Swift shows, driving to St. Louis and Memphis simply to see her in musical action. Porter has been diagnosed with cancer and hadn’t been sure if he’d be able to see another Swift concert in 2017. So when Taylor learned of this story and this fan, she made it her mission to pay Porter a visit. While at Porter’s home, Swift posted for photos with over 60 family members, thrilling those who simply could not believe their eyes or their ears. (Yes, their ears . Swift even played “Shake It Off” for everyone on hand.) “Taking selfies, holding babies, hugging grandpas and leaving lipstick marks. Taylor Swift does it all. Awsome day for my Popo!!” wrote one of Porter’s many grandkids on Twitter. “It’s a Christmas Miracle!” this same grandson captioned a selfie of him, Swift and the man of honor. “Thank you @taylorswift13. My grandpa was so excited!!” Taylor surprising super fan and WWII veteran Cyrus Porter and his family today in Missouri! (

#DAPL: U.S. Army To Close Standing Rock Protest Site In North Dakota

U.S. Army To Shut Down Standing Rock Site Where Protesters Gather Against Oil Pipe For months now, Native American tribes have been vigilantly guarding a sacred land that some rich white folks wanna make a lot of money off of. There have been violent conflicts between protesters and police, including civil-rights recalls like water hoses and dogs. Yesterday, the US Army Corps of Engineers announced that it would be closing access to the land where the tribes have been holding it down according to NYTimes . In response, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe chairman, Dave Archambault II, released the following statement Our Tribe is deeply disappointed in this decision by the United States, but our resolve to protect our water is stronger than ever. We ask that all everyone who can appeal to President Obama and the Army Corps of Engineers to consider the future of our people and rescind all permits and deny the easement to cross the Missouri River just north of our Reservation and straight through our treaty lands… Acharmbault went on to say… It is both unfortunate and ironic that this announcement comes the day after this country celebrates Thanksgiving – a historic exchange of goodwill between Native Americans and the first immigrants from Europe. Although the news is saddening, it is not at all surprising given the last 500 years of the treatment of our people. We have suffered much, but we still have hope that the President will act on his commitment to close the chapter of broken promises to our people and especially our children.” As much as these butt-hurt white people like to retort “all lives matter” they sure don’t give a good cotdamn about Native Americans.
