Source: NBC / Getty Can you believe that Carlton, er, Alfonso Ribeiro turns 47 years old today? It seems like just yesterday we were laughing out loud at him as Will Smith ‘s corny, bougie cousin on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air — well, for some it was yesterday. Alfonso has been in the business since he was a kid, but his role as Carlton Banks is what he’ll forever be remembered by. He played Carlton so well that that’s pretty much all the younger generation knows him as, thanks to his infamous “Carlton Dance.” The Williams Family dance crew loves Carlton Banks so much that they kicked off a whole dance challenge in honor of him, called the #ICarlton Challenge. They killed it! And pretty soon, the rest of the dance world caught on. Like Fresh The Clowns crew. Even moms in dance class took on the hip hop challenge. Not bad for ladies with babies in their arms. It hit Korea too. And it made the news. But according to Instagramer Anti , he’s the creator of the #ICarlton song and challenge and wants the world to put some respeck on ’em. He even made a music video for it. Anti may have created the song, but no word on who actually started the dance challenge. It’s still poppin all over the world now though. We all know that once Wiz The Kid gets a whole of it, issa wrap for the rest of the dance world. Hit the flip to check out more. via GIPHY

Between people being upset about Colin Kaepernick being black listed from the league to the NFL actually implementing the no kneel rule to for the anthem people are TIRED! Reports surfaced that pop band Maroon 5 were rumored to be this years Super Bowl’s halftime act…and people weren’t feeling it.

U .S. Rep. Ron DeSantis , the GOP’s Florida governor nominee, denied connections to a racist once again. DeSantis distanced himself from a donor who called President Barack Obama the N-word, but the candidate will likely keep the campaign funds. NewsOne did not receive an immediate response Thursday from DeSantis’ campaign on whether the more than $20,000 from Steven A. Alembik was given back. See Also: Don’t ‘Monkey This Up’: Andrew Gillum’s Trump-Backed Opponent Shows His Racism To Florida Voters Alembik, a 67-year-old self-employed data and email services provider, tweeted on Wednesday that the former president is a “F—KING MUSLIM N—ER,” Politico reported. He wrote the slur in response to a Republican National Committee tweet disparaging Obama for criticizing the GOP. “We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: we adamantly denounce this sort of disgusting rhetoric,” DeSantis campaign spokesman Stephen Lawson said in a written statement, according to Politico. But it’s unclear whether the campaign continued to hold on to Alembik’s contributions to DeSantis, which totaled $22,920 over the years. There seems to be no end to the long list of white supremacists associated with Rep. Ron DeSantis. Here's our updated timeline… https://t.co/0u8HGrfJMZ #AndrewGillum pic.twitter.com/Llr0TrTn4D — NewsOne (@newsone) September 20, 2018 It didn’t take long for the Trump-backed nominee to fire off a racist attack against Andrew Gillum , Florida’s first Black nominee for governor. DeSantis warned Florida voters in a TV interview not to “monkey this up” by electing Gillum. DeSantis’ racist comment came less than 24 hours after the two candidates won their party’s nomination in the Aug. 28 Florida primary election. The Republican nominee denied that his remark was racist but that’s hard to believe given his long history of associating with white supremacists. After blowing his racist dog whistle in the televised interview, new details emerged about deep links between white nationalists and the congressman. He spoke four times at Freedom Center conferences organized by right-wing conservative David Horowitz , who has said Black people owe their freedom to whites who are the target of the nation’s “only serious race war,” according to the Washington Post .
