Hilary Duff and Jason Walsh SLAMMED for Offensive Halloween Costumes!

OK, so this is kind of a “good news, bad news” situation. The good news: Hilary Duff and her personal trainer/boyfriend, Jason Walsh , made their very first public appearance last night! The bad news: the appearance was at a Halloween party and their costumes were, to many, many people, horrifically offensive and wrong. Heaven help us all. So that’s Hilary dressed up as a sexy pilgrim and Jason dressed up as an angry Native American. And to say that people didn’t like the costumes would pretty much be the understatement of the year. One person advised Hilary that “When you’re thinking of what you should be for Halloween the answer should never be #CulturalAppropriation. That was terrible.” “In 2016,” another wrote, “you and your boyfriend don’t know how inappropriate it is to dress up that way? I guess it’s always fun to show how racist you are.” One fan pointed out that “Your boyfriend’s Native ‘costume’ is racist. Learn your history, Native Americans have endured genocide and broken treaties and still face racism every day.” “This costume is not ok. The pilgrims came over and massacred an entire population of native people. This costume is ignorant and not appropriate.” “How did either of you think wearing that was appropriate? there’s new excuse to remain ignorant about this, so you both had to know how incredible offensive it would be. You just DGAF, I guess. I’m just so disgusted.” “Girl … this was ignorance, plain and simple.” And, well, these people aren’t wrong. People are also pointing out that this is an incredibly insensitive time to put on these atrocious costumes, considering the ongoing protests concerning the Dakota Access Pipeline. “Horrible choice, especially with all that is going on,” one follower told her, adding a “No DAPL” hashtag. Still others took issue with this photo that Hilary shared on Instagram: “Sooooo the fake gun for my pilgrim costume came,” she captioned it. “Don’t think it’s quite big enough.” Apparently some people think that guns should have no part at all in Halloween costumes, no matter how fake or small they may be. “Fake GUN?!” someone wrote. “U shouldn’t include GUNS with ur costume even if it’s FAKE.” Hilary just can’t win for losing, huh?

Study: Diversity Training Makes White Men Feel Threatened

Diversity training is a term we heard quite a bit in 2015; however, a new article published by the Harvard Business Review suggests that these programs may be doing more harm than good. For starters, a study of over 700 companies in the United States found that implementing these training programs had little to no positive effects on female and minority representation. Even worse, they may even decrease representation of Black women. The study also found that these programs tend to make white men resentful of women and minorities. “We found evidence that it not only makes white men believe that women and minorities are being treated fairly—whether that’s true or not—it also makes them more likely to believe that they themselves are being treated unfairly,” authors of the report explained… [ MadameNoire ] Organizing For The New Year With P-Touch Marie Kondo’s best-selling The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up has sparked an organizing revolution with millions of Americans expected to resolve to get more organized in 2016.

Whoopi Goldberg Says She’s An American Not African American Whoopi Goldberg and Raven Symone said somethings on The View that probably won’t shock anyone according to The Grio reports: Well over a year after Raven-Symone received backlash for saying she is not African-American, her fellow The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg is now echoing what seem to be similar sentiments. Tuesday, during a conversation about immigration, Joy Behar lightheartedly quipped that in light of Donald Trump’s bid for presidency, people may want to consider leaving America to seek refuge elsewhere. No more African-American hosts on The View? Goldberg instantly balked at the joke, declaring, “You know what uh uh! This is my country.” “My mother, my grandmother, my great grand folks, we busted ass to be here,” she continued as the audience applauded. “I’m sorry. I’m an American. I’m not an African-American, I’m not a chick American, I’m an American.” Not surprisingly, Raven-Symone excitedly chimed in, “I’m an American! I’ve been here too long to not just hold American.” “Since the 1700’s my people have been here,” the Oscar winner pointed out. “So I’m an American alongside of the Native Americans. That’s the bottom line.” Check out the video below: https://www.instagram.com/p/BAK1xBjAw4A/ When will Whoopi and Raven just GTFOH!!? IG

BOSSIP Exclusive: IRS Says K-Ci Owes Nearly $12K In Back Taxes

The Tax Man Is Going After The Jodeci Crooner The lead singer of 90s R&B group Jodeci is once again facing back tax trouble. The IRS slapped K-Ci, real name Cedric Renard Hailey, with a federal tax lien last month for $11,305, according to New York City Register’s Office. The lien states that the tax man has been trying to collect on the debt for the last 10 years. Records show the singer has struggled with paying his taxes ever since the height of his fame with Jodeci 20 years ago. But K-Ci’s current tax troubles are a far cry from 2003, when the IRS went after him for almost $400,000 in back taxes in both L.A. and his native North Carolina. If K-Ci doesn’t pay the lien, the feds could seize his property and garnish his income to satisfy the tax debt. BOSSIP’s attempts to reach K-Ci weren’t successful Wednesday.
