The “Clippers and Cops” event happened Thursday at Stoney’s Barbershop on Edgewood Drive. The event seeks to unify police officers and communities by giving both groups the chance to speak openly about concerns in a forum-like setting. These events take place monthly at different shops and have gone as far as St. Louis, MI and Toccoa, GA! Clippers and Cops are the brainchild or Ty Dennis (APD Detective / Task Force Officer with ATF) & Mediated by Reec (Hot 107.9 / Positive American Youth) For More information and to come to the next Clippers and Cops event, visit: www.ClippersandCops.com Check out pictures from the event (Photos Courtesy of Fox 5 News Atlanta)
Positive American Youth & Culture Hair Salon joined up to “Roll Out The Red Carpet” for new moms and ladies in need of a little pampering, Pre-Valentines day weekend. Ladies were provided tons of free salon services, chocolate strawberries, fruit, beverages and sweet treats. New moms walked away with brand new baby furniture! The event was hosted by Reec of Hot 107.9 and music by DJ Deceptacon. This mini event sets a nice back drop to an upcoming event that Positive American Youth will be putting on in May labeled “Reec’s Mega Baby Shower”. The Mega Baby Shower will provide 1,007 New moms with gifts and resources!

This year was no different as PAYUSA has distributed frozen turkeys at multiple locations. The climax of the Thanksgiving Themed give away was Sunday 11/18 when the City of Atlanta’s Office of Constituent Services lent their support to serve the people alongside Positive American Youth. The Mayor of Atlanta, Mrs. Keisha Lance-Bottoms came out to meet the people and hand out a few turkeys herself! Additional support came from John Foy & Associates and Amerigroup. Hot dogs and snacks were also offered courtesy of PAYUSA and Side Walk BBQ. [ione_media_gallery id=”3738461″ overlay=”true”]
S ome Black viewers are giving Netflix the serious side-eye after they have been duped into watching predominately white movies that appear to have a Black cast. See Also: Bring It Home! Best Damn Reactions To Andrew Gillum Destroying Ron DeSantis In Florida Debate Stacia L Brown , the writer and creator of the podcast “Hope Chest,” wrote on Twitter, “Other Black @netflix users: does your queue do this? Generate posters with the Black cast members on them to try to compel you to watch? This film stars Kristen Bell/Kelsey Grammer and these actors had maaaaaybe a 10 cumulative minutes of screen time. 20 lines between them, tops.” Other Black @netflix users: does your queue do this? Generate posters with the Black cast members on them to try to compel you to watch? This film stars Kristen Bell/Kelsey Grammer and these actors had maaaaybe a 10 cumulative minutes of screen time. 20 lines between them, tops. pic.twitter.com/Sj7rD8wfOS — stacia l. brown (@slb79) October 18, 2018 However, according to The Guardian , this is just Netflix’s crafty way of marketing. “Last December, Netflix rolled out a new algorithm to begin serving up personalised images to its now 137 million subscriber-base,” reported The Guardian. “‘Artwork personalisation’ became a priority after the company’s own research proved that it was the biggest influencing factor on a viewer deciding what to watch, constituting 82% of their focus. Multiple images are now generated for each and every title and change regularly to lure audiences depending on their tastes and previous viewing history.” However, London podcast host Tolani Shoneye told The Guardian, “It’s intrusive. It’s the dark side of marketing. I noticed it a while ago with a Zac Efron film that I’d already seen, but Netflix kept showing me it as a Michael B. Jordan movie.” Netflix released the following statement, “We don’t ask members for their race, gender or ethnicity so we cannot use this information to personalise their individual Netflix experience. The only information we use is a member’s viewing history.” Of course Netflix doesn’t ask for your racial background, but using a member’s viewing history to dupe the Black viewers into watching a 95 percent white film is false advertising. Netflix needs to do better — or maybe create more Black, original content.
