Source: NICHOLAS KAMM / Getty They Still Got A Looooong Way To Go The Trump supporters are at it again and they are PRESSED to get this wall up. Brian Kolfage, a Trump voter and disabled Iraq War veteran with no connection to his administration, started a GoFundMe to help pay for Trump’s proposed wall across the U.S.-Mexico border. Kalfage wrote on the campaign page that he set up the fundraiser because “President Trump’s main campaign promise was to BUILD THE WALL. And as he’s followed through on just about every promise so far, this wall project needs to be completed still.” *Sigh* Kolfage continued, “Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of the United States taxpayers with no means of ever contributing to our society.” Help us lawd. Kolfage said that if every Trump voter donated $80, they could raise the $5 billion needed for the border wall. “Even if we get half, that’s half the wall. We can do this,” he wrote. It seems Kolfage missed Trump’s recent statement saying the wall will cost around $15 billion, and by Trump standards, this number could even be inaccurate. If we go by earlier reports , the wall could actually cost around $70 billion. But okay Kolfage. The goal on the campaign page is $1 billion. As of Thursday morning, the page has already raised over $3 million after only being set up on Sunday. Donations vary from large to small with $5 being one of the lowest and $200 being one of the biggest donations among individual donors. Kolfage told donors that he’s contacted the Trump administration and he assured them that every penny of their donations would go towards funding the “Trump wall.” “We have many very high level contacts already helping,” Kolfage wrote. Mhm. Folks on Twitter were already over the whole movement, saying they had doubts that supporters could raise the billions of dollars needed to build the wall. Hit the next pages to read people clown the over-zealous wall supporters.
L egal Aid Society lawyers urged Staten Island’s district attorney to prosecute two New York City cops who appeared in body camera footage to plant drug evidence after a traffic stop of four Black men in February. However, the prosecutor and police officials have denied seeing what’s obvious to many in the video, and they won’t reassess the case in light of the officers’ record of targeting Black and Hispanic drivers. SEE ALSO: ‘I Lost Everything’: Innocent Man Cleared By DNA Evidence Is Fighting Back In a letter to District Attorney Michael E. McMahon , the legal advocacy group claimed that video evidence suggested that Officer Kyle Erickson planted a joint in Lasou Kuyateh ’s car after he and his partner Officer Elmer Pastran originally searched but found no drugs, SILive.com reported on Friday. NYPD body camera footage “revealed criminal acts and misconduct by NYPD officers planting false evidence, arresting an innocent person, making false sworn allegations and assisting in the prosecution of manufactured charges,” the letter stated. “We cannot condone illegal acts by police to bring false charges against members of our community.” NYPD pull over 4 black guys in BMW. Profiling. Can't find anything in car so PLANTS MARIJUANA. Kid spends 2 WEEKS IN JAIL before dismissed because of video evidence of planting. No charges to Criminal cop! https://t.co/PF2i4wOKA3 pic.twitter.com/05kIZWDCGd — Miss Rant (@InTheNewsRants) November 19, 2018 Erickson and Pastran pulled over the BMW that Kuyateh was driving with three other young Black men as passengers on Feb. 28. The reason given for the stop was that the vehicle turned without a signal and its windows were heavily tinted. The New York Times obtained footage of what happened next. The men admitted to smoking marijuana earlier but insisted there was none in the car. Pastran replied, “I don’t appreciate being lied to. I know there is weed in the car. I smell it.” Pastran and Erickson originally declared that they found nothing. However, Erickson’s camera turned off as the search continued. Shortly after, Kuyateh is heard yelling that Erickson put something in his car. Erickson said he found a joint on the car floor behind the driver’s seat, in the same area where Pastran already searched. The officer’s camera had suddenly turned back on right before discovering the marijuana cigarette. Kuyateh, who was 19 at the time, was arrested and spent two weeks in jail before making bail. A criminal court judge dismissed the charges in October during pre-trial hearings over the gap in the police body camera video. Police officials and the district attorney’s offices told SILive.com that they cleared the officers of wrongdoing after internal investigations. They will likely be unmoved by the Legal Aid Society’s findings that 80 percent of the drivers stopped by the two officers were either Black or Hispanic. About 54 percent of their marijuana arrests involved Black people while arresting just four white people for drugs.

K ansas Governor Jeff Colyer on Saturday jumped on the bandwagon of voices calling for the removal of a white county commissioner who told a Black woman on Tuesday that he’s part of the “master race.” SEE ALSO: White Georgia County Commissioner Refuses To Resign After Calling John Lewis A ‘Racist Pig’ “Racial and discriminative language have no place in our society, and most especially when spoken by someone holding a public office. The inappropriate remarks made by Leavenworth County Commissioner Louis Klemp are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of the county which he represents. As such, I call on him to step down as County Commissioner,” Colyer, a Republican, said in a statement posted on Facebook.

He was dissatisfied with the African-American consultant’s presentation. “I don’t want you to think I’m picking on you, because, we’re part of the master race,” Klemp said, pointing to his own teeth. “You know, you got a gap in your teeth, you’re the masters, don’t ever forget that.” News of Klemp’s remark ignited widespread condemnations on social media.

Apparently, the governor saw which way the wind was blowing. It’s unclear what steps Colyer will take if the commissioner refuses to resign.

Image via AAron Ontiveroz/The Denver Post via Getty Images Draymond Green Suspended For 1 Game For Cursing Out Kevin Durant “We supposed to be brothas!” goes the famous line in Menace II Society as a young man is being robbed at gunpoint for his Mustang and some fast food. Apparently, Draymond Green either didn’t see this film or didn’t take in the message, because Monday night in a game against the Clippers a mercurial Draymond was NOT treating Kevin Durant like his closest kin. He was treating him like a bi**h, or at least that what he was calling KD on the bench. A bi**h. A lot of ’em. And that was what happened ON the court. According to ESPN , here’s how it all started. Near the end of regulation, Draymond grabbed a rebound completely ignored a wide-open and hysterically clapping Kevin Durant who was calling for the ball in an attempt to win the game, and lost control of the ball before a shot could be taken. Both men were frustrated on the bench and Draymond unleashed one of his typical bratty tirades on KD. According to ESPN, things got even uglier back in the locker room after teammates chided Draymond for his poor decision. In defending himself, Draymond got loud and wrong. So loud and so wrong that people outside hear the commotion. Coach Steve Kerr did his best to tamp down the extent of the incident. “Draymond is always going to be who he is,” Kerr said. “Draymond is a powerful force. You guys know that. He’s a huge reason why we’ve had so much success here, and Draymond is going to continue playing the way he plays, and I don’t see him operating any other way.” Draymond is going to be who he is, abrasive, and KD is going to be who he is, sensitive and petty. These two might kiss and make up, but KD will not forget when it comes down to free agency this summer…

Source: Amanda Edwards / Getty In conjunction with the New York Times, Niecy Nash stars in a hilarious sendup of the recent rash of white people calling the police on Black folks for doing the absolute least. It is part of a brilliant op-ed piece that illustrates, with humor, how harmful and dangerous the action is to people of color. From the Times : In this satirical infomercial, the comedian and actress Niecy Nash plays the inventor of a new hotline, 1-844-WYT-FEAR. The video advertises a phone service for white people to call when they can’t cope with black people living their lives near them. The hotline is up and running, so give it a ring and spread the word. (Seriously.) The phenomenon of white people harassing African-Americans going about their day is nothing new, but with the ubiquity of smartphones and social media, everyone can now see how these injustices are played out and lead to anxiety for and material harm to people of color. And this problem is bigger than a few unreasonable white people. Racist stereotypes are baked into our society. Check out the spoof video below. — Photo: WENN
As you may have heard, Kendall Jenner nude photos circulated on social media yesterday. Usually, naked pictures of an attractive celebrity that are posted online with said celebrity’s consent are a cause for celebration. This time, however, the uproar was such that you would have thought Kendall had once again attempted to quell a riot by handing out cans of Pepsi. Amazingly, Kendall was body-shamed by an army of idiot trolls. It’s a bit discouraging to see supermodels being brutally body-shamed (What hope do the rest of us have?!), but for a moment, we were ready to the world is in shambles and the internet is dominated by the angriest and most envious members of our society. But then, a ray of light shined through in the form of a horned-up male model. You may know Anwar Hadid as the brother of Bella and Gigi, or as the dude who’s been making no effort to hide his persistent Kendall-inspired boner in recent weeks. Not surprisingly, the president of the unofficial Kendall Jenner Fan Club was quite taken by his crush’s latest pics, and he’s reportedly been talking about them to anyone who cares to listen. “Anwar is drooling over the leaked Kendall nude pics,” a source close to the Hadids tells Hollywood Life. “He thinks she looks amazing and he wants her bad,” the insider continues. “Anwar has been crushing on Kendall for years, he thinks she is smart, successful and funny too.” Clearly unconcerned about the possibility of coming on too strong, Anwar didn’t stop there: “He can’t believe how beautiful and sexy she looks without any clothes on in the leaked pics,” the source claims. “Anwar can’t stop thinking about Kendall since seeing those pics.” Fortunately for Anwar, it seems there’s a good chance that his dream of dating 22-year-old model will soon become a reality. Kendall recently broke up with Ben Simmons after several months of dating. There have been rumors that Kendall was caught cheating with Anwar , but that doesn’t seem to be the case. However, Hadid seems to have swooped in immediately after learning that Kendall was single, and the two were spotted “getting close” at a party next week. Sounds like Anwar won’t have to rely on pics and his imagination for much longer. View Slideshow: Kendall Jenner: Her 35 Hottest Photos of All Time
