Race Matters: African Clinic Advises Dark-Skinned Couples To Have Biracial Babies “To Make The Country Better”

African Fertility Clinic Advises Dark Skinned Couples To Have Biracial Babies One would assume that beautiful dark skin is most appreciated in Africa, but one fertility clinic in Ghana seems to think otherwise and is advising black couples to think that way also. via Kulture Kritic Skin complexion is an issue for people of color all over the world and in Ghana, there’s a new business that is on a mission to breed what they call “half-caste” babies for a better Africa. In Ghana, the fairer skinned people are often placed on a higher pedestal and are in greater demand for dates. Some refer to them as hotcakes because of their lighter skin color. Modern science, namely artificial insemination, is credited with having the ability to breed mixed-raced or half-caste babies without the need to marry or be intimate with a person of another race. In Accra, Ghana, there’s a gallant effort being made to create a new society in Africa referred to as a “Half-Caste World” through artificial insemination which it believes will position Africa for a better future. “Half-caste World is founded to transform Africa into the land of riches and beauty, the land of every man’s dream. We believe life began in African and will end in Africa,” the advocates posted on their Facebook page. This is shameful and ridiculous. Hopefully these couples aren’t buying into this bullisht… Shutterstock

Jake Pavelka and Kristin Chenoweth: Dating?!

Kristin Chenoweth is apparently dating Jake Pavelka of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad and Dancing With the Stars fame for whatever reason. Seriously, there’s a photo of them on a date near his home in Texas. The “couple” were seen getting cozy at a diner in West Hollywood earlier this fall. That was one thing. Lunch at a cafe in Highland Village, Texas? Another. A witness who reported the sighting says they weren’t kissing or anything, but were seen holding hands and “they were veeeerrryy attentive to one another.” The Tony Award-winning Chenoweth, 44, is 10 years older than her man. Jake Pavelka is mature beyond his years, though, as he proved when he sold out Wes Hayden on The Bachelorette , or when he picked Vienna Girardi, or … We’ve got some Bachelor spoilers for you, Kristin. It may not end well.

Jenny Johnson on Chris Brown Feud: I’m NOT Sorry!

Comedian Jenny Johnson is opening up about the vulgar Chris Brown Twitter feud she started last weekend … but let’s be clear here, this is NOT an apology. “I just want to clear some things up,” Johnson wrote in a post for GQ . “This is not an apology. My first thought following my Twitter exchange with Chris Brown this past Sunday was to just ignore it until it went away.” “The Twitter exchange I’m referencing would be the one in which he tweeted thathe looked old for 23, and I replied with a not-so-kind comment.” “From there we discussed farts, spelling, past events, bushpigs, and the part of my eye which he wanted to go number two on. It ended with him deactivating his Twitter account.” Jenny Johnson went on to say that she doesn’t “regret” the feud, but certainly didn’t expect it to receive so much attention, like when The View weighed in on it. She also made reference to the fact that, in one of her tweets, she linked to a news story pertaining to Chris Brown’s infamous 2009 assault on Rihanna. For Jenny, that’s what this is all about – but not for the reason you might assume. “I’ve had people assume I dislike Chris Brown because I’m taking up for Rihanna, I’m not,” she said. “I’m on the side of good, of equality and respect for my fellow woman.” “I was raised to not respect a person who doesn’t respect others. And one human being physically harming another human being is one of the most disrespectful acts there is.” Johnson also assured Chris’ fans – who responded to the beef with death threats against her – that despite him peacing out of Twitter, all hope is not lost: “Don’t worry Team Breezy, your hero is on Instagram under the handle F–kYoPictures. #Classy.” Whose side are you on?   Team Chris!

WikiLeaks hackers threaten British Government

An army of computer hackers is planning to bring down British government websites if Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is extradited to Sweden. The 1,500-strong network of online activists has already sabotaged the websites of MasterCard, Visa and the Swedish government with millions of bogus visits. The attacks, termed “Operation Payback”, came after the credit card companies and PayPal, an online payment firm, announced that they would no longer process donations to the anti-secrecy organisation. The group of hackers, called Anonymous, said it would target British government websites if Mr Assange was extradited to Sweden, where he is wanted over allegations of sexual assault. Gregg Housh, an American internet activist who previously worked with the hackers, said: “They will go after the weakest links, because they want to see results. They will probably test a few sites and then decide.” The hackers said they were planning to target Amazon, the online retailer. A message posted on their Twitter account yesterday stated: “Target: wwwdotAmazondotcom locked on!!!”. Mr Assange was arrested by the Metropolitan Police’s extradition squad earlier this week after Swedish prosecutors issued an international arrest warrant. He is due to appear before City of Westminster magistrate’s court on Tuesday, where his lawyers will attempt to secure his release on bail. He has been accused by two women of one count of rape, two of sexual molestation and one of unlawful coercion. He denies the allegations and says that the sex was consensual. One of the hackers said: “It is definitely an information war. The core principle behind it is [that] information is free, governments keep information to themselves, WikiLeaks releases it to the general public and the war occurs.” The hackers’ actions so far have been essentially attacks by volume, known as DDoS, or distributed denial of service, in which the target site is hit with increased numbers of visitors with the intention of exceeding its capabilities and forcing it to crash. In this case, hundreds of volunteers have downloaded something called a botnet, which aids the distribution of the command to attack the site. The volunteer hackers wait until they are given a signal on an internet chat room, before launching the attack. The attacks are illegal in Britain and carry a maximum sentence of two years. A spokesman for PayPal insisted that, despite the attack, the site had not been disrupted. “As far as we are aware there hasn’t been any further impact on the site.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8193210/WikiLeaks-hackers-th… added by: ras_menelik

His name was Charley and he was from Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. They supported us on tour, and he died yesterday at Pukkelpop.
