When accepting his award, Boseman called out James Shaw Jr., the hero who averted the Waffle House crisis in Tennessee, and gave him the trophy. CNN reports : “Receiving an award for playing a superhero is amazing, but it’s even greater to acknowledge the heroes that we have in real life,” Boseman said. “So I just want to acknowledge somebody that’s here today. James Shaw Jr. Where are you? Stand. If you don’t know James Shaw Jr., he fought off a gunman in Antioch, Tennessee at a Waffle House. He saved lives. Come on up here.” Shaw then took the stage and Boseman handed him the golden popcorn award, “This is gonna live at your house.” Shaw was grazed by a bullet while grappling with the gunman and burned his right hand grabbing the barrel of the weapon.

After winning the Best Villain award for his portrayal as T’Challa’s wayward revolutionary cousin Erik Killmonger, Jordan used his speech to take a dig at Roseanne Barr. He stated he “shocked” and “thought for sure Roseanne had that in the bag.” The “joke” comes after Roseanne sent out a racist tweet with ABC shocking everyone and canceling her hit reboot show . Barr later blamed her racist tweeting on taking Ambien and was dragged through the social media streets for it.

Y’all taking the forever thing a little too seriously.” What a Killmonger thing to say, but we totally get it cause Chadwick was out here looking utterly fed up with having to belt the rallying cry and do the salute. We also saw Michael B.Jordan jokingly show his frustration with saying the term during an interview with a white journalist. Despite the Letitia Wright being robbed, Black Panther owned the night taking home Best Movie and with Chadwick taking home two awards one for Best Hero and Best Performance in a movie. Chadwick also put himself in the category of Best Acceptance speech by using his moment to shine a light on real-life hero James Shaw.Jr . . @chadwickboseman you a real one for this. #MTVAwards pic.twitter.com/diUURUwrWx — B E A N Z | Thanos’ Personal Photographer .

I don’t know about y’all, but my favorite time of year consists of warm weather and when all Black people flex in our white ‘fits! There’s something absolutely breathtaking about brown skin in white , and honestly, I’m ready to fill my closet with a ton of white ensembles for the entire summer . But if you need a bit of help picking some clothes out, or just need a big guide of outfits you can snag, here’s a few of my favorite looks and items that you can easily and quickly grab: Source: Stefania D’Alessandro / Getty DRESSES SPLURGE If you’ve got that coin to spend, you might as well deck your wardrobe out in fancy whites! This $2,091 Merchant Archive linen dress is just what I imagine for boat or yacht parties, dinner out with your friends, or even a solo date night. The Row also has a cotton-popplin mini dress that is easy and breezy to wear for those warmer days, and honestly, the best piece to mix and match with different looks. If you’re a gal like me, a maxi dress will never steer you wrong — The Row’s $2,790 silk-twill maxi dress is all things elegant, feminine, and chic. SPEND Honestly, I love to comb through ASOS , whose clothes not only offer a great size range, but also have amazing quality clothes. If you’re looking for something longer, less form-fitting, and equally fab, this $285 wrap dress is perfect for beautiful summer nights. A similar option is this gorgeous wrap dress with chiffon sleeves by the brand, which has a ruffle thigh-cut and can easily be paired with heels or flats! River Island has this beautiful multi-color midi dress for $54 that I can definitely see worn at music festivals or even those hot, airy days that you just want something to breathe in. And of course, this lace midi sundress for $64 is easily a closet staple you’ll have forever and ever (okay, maybe not FOREVER but you get my point). SAVE If you’re worried about things looking bland, spice it up. ASOS has this super chic $35 ribbed midi dress that gives you a bit of open shoulder as well as a thigh slit. You can also go with a one shoulder off combo, and snag this $56 shoulder pencil dress that’s perfect for cocktail and fancy dinners (or anytime you just want to look fancy). PLUS SIZE If you’re a bit curvier, this empire-waist lace cutout dress is not only beautiful for snaps and images with your friends, but also easily able to be instantly elevated. Give us some sultriness in this $45 draped dress that also comes with a plunging V-neckline and a high-low hem. You can always go for a V front cotton smock dress, like this $35 one , and pair it with some white sandals or your favorite pair of espadrilles. Also, even though this is *technically* a maternity dress, this bardot number for $64 is so chic and comes with a matching belt if you need to cinch that waist in. Source: Neilson Barnard / Getty TOPS SPLURGE Drama, drama, drama! This $1,257 Brandon Maxwell number is an asymmetrical-cut shirt, which can easily be worn with jeans, your favorite black pants, or even some shorts for length and a bit of texture. A one-shoulder, crisp, poplin top is all you need to put an outfit together, and this $350 Victoria Beckham top is everything and THEN some. SPEND If ruffles are your thing, a one-shoulder top from Alice + Olivia like this definitely gives off feminine, romanticism vibes. For date night, you can snag this $280 Sandro lace top which you can put together with a peplum skirt, some pumps, and a pair of your favorite studs. SAVE If you’re more a fan of separates, the world is your oyster! This $19 one-shoulder asymmetric crop top is perfect, whether you want to put on jeans, chinos, or even a mini leather skirt while out with your friends. If it’s a bit too much skin for you, you can still go for the bardot look with a front tie blouse , which will only set you back about $22. Bodysuits are super important, especially if you don’t want panty lines or random scrunchies in your clothes. This plunge neckline bodysuit is not only understated, but it’s a statement maker in its own way. And this $31 bodysuit gives you a bit of shoulder without giving away too much. PLUS-SIZE If you’ve got larger breast or just need a bit more space (don’t worry, I got y’all), this $70 front-tie tunic top from Eloquii is perfect AND comes up to a size 24. A $28 Forever21 surplice top is also an easy addition to your wardrobe — pair it with a pencil skirt, some trousers, your favorite shorts, whatever! Eoww! Source: Astrid Stawiarz / Getty BOTTOMS SPLURGE Belted denim shorts should never go out of style, especially this fabulous $275 pair from 3.1 Phillip Lim . I can immediately imagine this with an off-the-shoulder crop top or even an oversized sweater on cooler days. Yes honey! For simple pieces that’ll easily compliment your existing pieces in your wardrobe, The Row’s $1,194 maxi skirt hits just above ground level and gives you an instant chic look. Board meeting? Yes. Date night? Yes. Art museum? You know it. SPEND Simone Rocha has an amazing asymmetric broderie skirt which you can snag for only $543 , or even this broderie skirt from Alexander McQueen , which retails at $264. If you need your pants to make a statement and be a standalone piece, these $135 fringed pants give high-waist action as well as…well, a ton of flare! A boho-chic vibe (like something I’d imagine Zoe Kravitz would wear) is this $100 Free People maxi dress, which you can wear with a tank top and some sandals for lazy, summery days. SAVE Now, if you’re into moving around a lot and need some free action for leg room, then something like this $79 skort can definitely pull together some last minute looks (all while on a budget!), or these tailored wide-leg $45 trousers, which are perfection in pant form. PLUS-SIZE Sometimes you just need some shorts for a summer cookout. These plus-size shorts are not only $47, but they go all the way up to a size 28. Or snag these Old Navy white linen pants which are only $35 AND go up to an XXL, making them pretty accessible for a entire range of sizes. Crochet floral skirts are always a mood, and if you need one that can accompany those hips, this $36 high-low skirt from Ashley Stewart is definitely an option (plus the size range is AMAZING). Source: Peter White / Getty SHOES SPLURGE Nothing says polished and classy like a white leather heel. If you’ve got the bread, splurge on these $650 Jimmy Choo pumps , that’ve got a stiletto heel and a pointed toe. When you’re ready to take those off, you can throw on these $690 leather sneakers from The Row or these $298 Balenciaga leather sneakers (which were originally $595 so you’re really getting a steal). And while they are not solely white, nothing beats a great white sneaker like these $580 Gucci leather sneakers with the logo colors on the side. Fierce! SPEND If you’ll be hitting barbecues and yacht parties all summer, a great wedge sandal is timeless and easily paired with so many things. These $80 Sannibel platform wedges are espadrille-inspired and so simple yet so chic. If you’re a gal that needs a great heel, these t oe pump white leather heels from Sam Edelman are designer enough, but still give you ease with a classic stiletto pump. These $85 Adidas run sneakers are great for days you’ll be doing a lot of running around in the city or even while preparing for a marathon or race (hey, you never know!). SAVE A cute gladiator sandal with buckles is the perfect addition to your wardrobe, and if you’re trying to save a few coins, then you can easily snab these PrettyLittleThing slider sandals , which only retail for $35! Alternatively, these $19 ASOS jelly flat sandals have the same general cut, but are especially great if you are traveling or need a quick shoe to pair with everything. And lastly, a great sneaker I’ve stanned for years is a high-top white Converse shoe, which you can experiment with an all-white look, a flowing maxi skirt, shorts, or whatever your personal style consists of!

R oseanne Barr is still in a media firestorm after comparing Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape. If you were living under a rock, earlier this week she wrote that Jarrett equals “muslim brotherhood & planets of the apes had a baby.” Undoubtedly deplorable and impossible to defend. Even Republican Meghan McCain said Barr’s tweet was textbook racism — and McCain is always defending Trump supporters, she has even criticized NFL players for kneeling. However, McCain is in the minority because Fox News has been on a pro-Roseanne rant for days. Sunken place empress Harris Faulkner chalked it up to free speech. But the latest comment from a Black conservative has got to be one of the dumbest analogies on the planet. See Also: 20 Tweets Dragging Roseanne Barr To A White Privilege Hell Trump worshiper Oliver McGee , who once worked for the Clinton administration and is now a Black Republican, had the audacity to defend Roseanne comparing Jarrett to an ape and the “Muslim brotherhood” because Black Panther has a character called Man-Ape. Huh? See the ridiculousness below: There is a BLACK character in the movie #BlackPanther named ‘Man-Ape.’ Man-Ape is the leader of the Gorilla tribe. The gorilla tribe is played by all BLACKS. Every liberal that is calling for @therealroseanne ’s head LOVED & RAVED about Black Panther. Stop the selective outrage. — Oliver McGee PhD MBA (@OliverMcGee) May 30, 2018 There was no character in the movie called Man-Ape. M’Baku, played by Winston Duke, was the character of Man-Ape from the comic book series — a character that first appeared in the Marvel comic book series in 1969. As Entertainment Weekly reported, the creators of Black Panther , which was written and directed by a Black man, did not want to use the term Man-Ape from 1969. Why? Because they were smart enough to know it would be offensive today. Executive producer of Black Panther Nate Moore said, “We don’t call him Man-Ape. We do call him M’Baku. Having a Black character dress up as an ape, I think there’s a lot of racial implications that don’t sit well, if done wrong.” Therefore, McGee lied about a character being called Man-Ape in the film, that name was never uttered in the 134 minutes running time. But many Black Republicans, like Diamond and Silk and Paris Dennard , will say anything to defend Trump supporters. McGee also wants you to know that “as a Black man” he stands by Roseanne: I’m a black man and I stand with @therealroseanne ! Yes, she made a horrible joke and she apologized. I see comedians, actors, etc make the same jokes and get applauded for it. This is outrageous. — Oliver McGee PhD MBA (@OliverMcGee) May 29, 2018 Lastly, Roseanne’s comments aren’t about liberals or conservatives — it’s about racism. If a Black man like McGee, who once worked at Howard University and regardless of his political affiliations, can’t see the clear and present racism, then his anti-Blackness is at the bottom of the sunken place.
