Here is something you almost never see: A television network admonishing a Presidential candidate. In the wake of Donald Trump announcing he’s running for the highest office in the land, however, NBC has felt a need to distance itself from The Celebrity Apprentice host. “Donald Trump’s opinions do not represent those of NBC, and we do not agree with his positions on a number of issues, including his recent comments on immigration,” the network said on Thursday. This statement comes on the heels of Univision confirming it is dropping Trump and NBC Universal’s co-produced Miss USA pageant due to the candidate’s recent remarks. Among Trump’s more controversial/totally insane quotes? He said at a press conference this month that Mexico is “sending [America] people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” In response, J Balvin pulled out of performing at the Miss USA Pageant, while Roselyn Sanchez has now pulled out of hosting the event. On Facebook, the actress says she will “not tolerate the so disrespectful and hurtful words out of the mouth of Mr. Trump.” View Slideshow: Donald Trump Announces Presidential Run; Twitter Reacts! On Thursday, meanwhile, Trump defended himself on Twitter. He also declared he’s going to sue Univision for violating its contract. “Univision wants to back out of signed @MissUniverse contract because I exposed the terrible trade deals that the U.S. makes with Mexico” and “Mexican gov doesn’t want me talking about terrible border situation & horrible trade deals. “Forcing Univision to get me to stop—no way!” Ummm… Vote Trump?
Why Did A Newspaper Use Mugshot Photos Of Black Criminals And Yearbook Photos Of White Ones? An Iowa newspaper recently got rightfully blasted for running stories on a group of white and black burglars with vastly different pictures. A group of black men were recently arrested for burglary and put into the paper with their mugshots. By contrast however three white men were also arrested for the same crime and their pictures were yearbook photos. Mind you searching for mugshots required extra work for the writer, so why the push to find mugshots for the black criminals and not the white ones? Via SoLetsTalkAbout: Why did this story get run with these criminals’ school photos, where on the same day, same situation, the article of another group of burglars featured their mug shots? Same day. Same channel. Same crime. Same author. So why weren’t mugshots good enough for the white guys who got arrested? Who already looks guilty before their trial? Which story plants the seed into a potential jury pool that this is a group of good kids versus this is a group of criminals? The Gazette’s weak explanation is that they can’t get mugshots without a formal request, so why didn’t anyone formally request them since they obviously requested the mugshots of the Black men? Because nobody wanted to. It didn’t even cross their minds to use a mugshot for these nice white boys accused of THE SAME CRIME, being written up by THE SAME REPORTER. I would have more respect for these people if they would just admit it. “Ooops. We made a mistake. Racism is so ingrained in our society we didn’t even realize we did it. We’ll make every effort to correct this behavior in the future.” Blah blah blah. But I haven’t seen a retraction or any acknowledgement of wrongdoing and that’s half the problem. Nobody wants to be called a racist even when they get caught being racist, whether intentionally or not. The worst part is, I’m almost positive the author didn’t consciously say “I’ll use mugshots for the Black men but not the others.” It was just an instinctual reaction, implicit bias, the result of being conditioned from birth to view Black men one way and white men another way. That’s what we have to overcome in our everyday lives. It’s not about you saying, “I’m not a racist because I try to treat everyone equally.” It’s the knowledge that YOU could have done this and not even realized it because no one pointed it out to you. This is clearly racial bias, if you’re going to write a story on criminals whether white or black then be fair.
Tidal Press Conference Gets Destroyed Yesterday, Jay Z and all his Illuminati friends got together to beg people for money for his new business venture that’s going to fail. Rihanna was there. Nicki Minaj was there. People in mouse helmets were there. Memphis Bleek wasn’t. For the most part, it was a disaster. Twitter destroyed them for it and the jokes never stopped.
A “family insider” tells Radar Online that Fantasia’s boyfriend and the alleged father of her second child, Antwaun Cook , regrets leaving his estranged wife, Paula Cook , and is ready to go back home. And it seems that while Paula may be hurt, she might be ready to forgive and move forward. On their reunion, the source says, “Paula and Antwaun both ended up at Club RE:Public in Charlotte over the weekend and things got a little cozy between the two. I don’t know where Fantasia was, but she definitely wasn’t in the club where they were!” Lots of PDA followed: “Antwaun was shoving his tongue down her throat and she kept having to push him away without trying to make a scene.” The source went on to add that Paula never changed the locks and that Antwaun still has the keys “so you can put two and two together.” “Antwaun has lost interest in Fantasia,” Radar’s source noted. “He was even egging people on to take pictures of him and Paula together…he didn’t care who knew.” Fantasia and Antwaun first began dating in early 2010 while he was still married to Paula.
