Posted on February 25, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

Woman Fights Back After Being Assaulted On Subway A woman wrestled a switchblade away from a perv on a subway train in Brooklyn who masturbated in front of her. The creep, Reggie Frank, proceeded to assualt the woman with pepper spray, but he didn’t know the woman was ready to rumble. The woman fought back leading to the fight spilling onto the platform, where she gained control of his knife he had hidden and stabbed him in the arm and chest. The woman sister told reporters “There was someone on the platform who helped her. She’s been sleeping more than anything else. I am beside myself. I can’t imagine this happening. She’s always been strong. I just want him to be brought up on charges. I want him to be off the streets. I don’t want this to happen to another person. It could have been a child.” Frank has a lengthy rap sheet, including assault, public nudity and masturbating on the subway.   Continue reading →

Hide Ya Kids: Schools See Sharp Rise In Racial Harassment Reports According To Education Department

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images U.S. Department Of Education Received Substantial Uptick In Racial Harassment Claims Here’s a shocker. The U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights division received significantly more complaints regarding racial harassment in schools in 2017, according to data the department provided for a Huffington Post report. According to the report, the increase is the largest jump in its category since 2009, with the division never receiving more than 600 complaints until the 2017 fiscal year, when the number climbed to 675, which represents a nearly 25% increase from the previous year. Prior to that year the number had ranged between 362 and 577 reports. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is charged with addressing complaints under Title VI, the federal law that protects students from discrimination based on race, color and national origin. Catherine Lhamon, who ran OCR during the Obama administration, said she could not speculate on the reasons for this increase, but pointed to outside data showing a surge in hate crimes nationally. “Our schools are places that encapsulate and reflect the national climate as well,” said Lhamon, who is now chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. “It is distressingly unsurprising that there might be an uptick in racial harassment complaints coming to OCR.” Zoe Savitsky, deputy legal director at the Southern Poverty Law Center, pointed to the numbers as evidence that the Trump administration is creating a toxic national environment that is in turn affecting schools. In the wake of the 2016 presidential election, the Southern Poverty Law Center started surveying teachers about how the election had influenced their school’s climate. Many teachers reported seeing an increase in hateful language and attitudes toward marginalized student groups. “I am saddened but not surprised,” said Savitsky of the rise in racial harassment complaints in schools. Damned shame. All that progress made just to have Trump’s ‘Murica drag us back to the dark ages. For the parents in the comments section, have your kids had more complaints and issues since Trump’s election? Continue reading →

Kanye West Has Taken Over NYC Subways With His Latest Yeezy Season 6 Campaign

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

James Devaney/GC Images Kanye Has Taken Over Subways In New York With Yeezy Season 6 The rollout for Kanye West ‘s Yeezy Season 6 has been the opposite of traditional, and he’s continuing his guerrilla campaigning now moving to New York City for the latest hoard of publicity. Instead of going with a traditional way to present a clothing line, West has been completely infiltrating every space from social media to Times Square with images from the campaign. A lot of the collection was presented last month in ads featuring clones of his wife Kim Kardashian, with popular Instagram personalities recreating “paparazzi” shots from last December. Everyone from Paris Hilton to Jordyn Woods dressed in Yeezy Season 6 and posted the photos to their millions of followers, all as a creative marketing tactic for Ye’s newest line. On Friday, Yeezy Season 6 began its takeover of the New York subway via giant prints and wraps of those infamous Instagram posts, covering a lot more of the subway than is usually used for advertisements.   Who knows the next place these prints will pop up…with Kanye, anything is possible.

Young Thug Says He Won’t Release Music For A Year Because He Wants To Live Like His Deaf Brother

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

  Prince Williams/WireImage Young Thug Isn’t Making Music For A Year, And Here’s Why Young Thug always has some pretty interesting reasoning to his actions, but his latest announcement might take the cake. After announcing just a few days prior that he wants fans to call him by his new name, “SEX,” he’s now saying that he’s taking a year off music–and he explained why he’s doing so. Thugger told fans that he isn’t planning on releasing any music until 2019 out of respect for his brother. “I’ve got a deaf brother,” he told  Hypebeast  during an interview. “I’ve got a brother who can’t hear or talk, so I want to act deaf for a year. So I ain’t going to put out no music this year.” The rapper explained that he plans to return with his  highly-anticipated  Hi-Tunes  project after that stint of not releasing anything saying, “in 2019, I’m going to put out probably  Hi-Tunes. ” It’s pretty common knowledge that Thug has been in the studio a lot lately, so it’ll be interesting to see if he stays with not releasing music, or if he comes back sooner than 2019. You can watch the whole minute-long interview below to hear Thugger’s thoughts on fashion and not releasing any music out of respect for his brother. Continue reading →

Lawsuits: Engineer Calls Out Google’s Mayo Male Privilege Work Culture, Axed For “Discrimination Toward White Men”

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

Stock Image From Getty Former Google Engineer Sue’s Over Wrongful Termination A former Google engineer is accusing the company of firing him after he spoke out about incidents of racism, sexism and harassment in a employee forum according to a new lawsuit. Mashable reports that the employee who identifies as disabled, queer and transgender, Tim Chevalier, is suing Google for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. Tim called the environment at Google in 2015  “overwhelmingly” of cisgender white men — and that “its workplace culture reflected their views.” Chevalier says he advocated for the rights of women and minorities in order to push back on the online bullying he regularly witnessed on Google’s forums, in order to make Google a more habitable place for him, as well as other minorities but, instead was told to hold off on his thoughts because that “wasn’t what he was hired for.” So what did White Men Googlers do that was so foul? Chevalier says employees openly questioned the competency of women and minorities on internal message boards. They also allegedly allowed employees to openly call coworkers “immoral” because of their sexual orientation. Chevalier’s lawyer called the company’s social networking system “a cesspool of bullying and harassment.” Yikes. Three other employees have been found in Google’s HR docs to have been terminated for being “discriminatory toward White men” — What. Are. The. Odds? Google is simultaneously facing a gender wage discrimination suit according to CNN.  They need to get it together! Continue reading →

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

  Marcus Ingram/Getty Images Big Boi Is Helping Hospice Patients See Black Panther Big Boi says that he hopes to “bring a little light” to a group of Atlanta hospice patients by taking them to see Black Panther on Friday. The Atlanta legend has rented a theater at Stonecrest 16 in Lithonia and will transport about 30 patients at Loving Arms Hospice to watch the film. He said about his good deed, “I’ve had my father and both my grandmothers go through hospice and I’d want to take them to places they couldn’t go. This might be the last movie they get to see. It’s like a little field trip.” Of course, medical staff will accompany the group, who are set to travel to the theater in one of Big Boi’s Celebrity Trailers, his company that supplies luxury trailers to movie sets–he wants the Loving Arms patients to experience the ride in one of the “super plush” vehicles. Like most of us, Big Boi has already seen Black Panther, but he’s looking forward to watching it again. He expressed his love of the movie saying, “The movie is incredible. Just the different layers – the storytelling, the writing, and of course the action. I love seeing the High Museum in there. ATL is thriving, man.” Other celebrities who have bought out theaters in their community for Black Panther viewings include Kendrick Lamar’s label TDE, Desus & Mero, Serena Williams , Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, and more.
