Charli XCX is hard at work promoting her music…. This is how you promote music… If you are a music teacher, or an aspiring musician, take note of the strategy used by Charli XCX to become a famous, or almost famous, more famous than not famous, musician… I’ll break it down into an E-Book that I will not be selling on Amazon as a self published work. You know to become the self-help guru I was designed to be. I will just give it to you for free…. The key to marketing music, or your career as a musician is get as naked as you can without being considered a porn actress…because once you’re considered a porn actress it is impossible to dial that back and turn it around… Always keep it obscure so there’s an Artistic overtone, or is it an undertone, this is free advice here, you get what you pay for….but if there’s a filter you can position it as art to the idiots who don’t know what art means..but like to pretend they do… So obscure, almost nude, but not too nude…. People will remember the name…the silly childish name XCX or cute…all without ever having to listen to your garbage music. Makes sense to me. Here is her pussy print in tight shorts JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Charli XCX American Beauty Erotica of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

A s the nation mourned the passing of Microsoft co-founder and NFL and NBA franchise owner Paul Allen , family, friends and fans were sharing memories of his life, including his relationships with African-Americans. Allen, who died from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in Seattle on Monday afternoon, was 65 years old. Known for his work to innovate technology and with Vulcan, his network of philanthropic organizations and efforts, the billionaire philanthropist was also the owner of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and NBA’s Portland Trailblazers. Because of the two sports teams, Allen had many interactions with African-American athletes, including Colin Kaepernick , whose case accusing NFL ownership of colluding to keep him from playing has moved forward in court. RELATED: Colin Kaepernick Just Got A New Gig And It’s Not With The NFL Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen died Monday afternoon in Seattle from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, his family says. He was 65. https://t.co/LebtXe8j77 pic.twitter.com/mPeKaB2zP1 — ABC News (@ABC) October 16, 2018 Kaepernick visited with the Seahawks in May of last year, many months after he was released from the San Francisco 49ers following his social justice-based kneeling protests in 2016. The Seahawks then reached back out to Kaepernick to schedule another visit this past April at a time when many people of color felt the quarterback was being blackballed from the league. The Seahawks brought Colin Kaepernick in once, and talked to him about coming in for a second visit. Owner Paul Allen was deposed. So was Pete Carroll, per @bcondotta Talking it now on @1029TheGame @ESPN960 @KORE1050Eugene — John Canzano (@johncanzanobft) August 30, 2018 Many in the nation acknowledged the team’s meeting with Kaep under Allen’s ownership, however, the Seahawks ultimately didn’t sign Kaepernick. After releasing a statement of support for Kaepernick, the team canceled a workout with him in April when Kaepernick didn’t answer their question about his plans to continue his National Anthem kneeling protest. @seahawks here is our statement in support of our players. https://t.co/9U7jX9Ofrc — Paul Allen (@PaulGAllen) September 24, 2017 Headlines also acknowledged that the free agent’s lawyers had also reportedly called on Allen and other team owners for depositions in the collusion case. Allen gave $100,000 to the GOP last month in order to help Republicans keep their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. His donation drew criticism from activists who pointed out that the NFL doesn’t support Black communities enough even though African-American players make up the league’s majority. Activists had asked the league to start depositing funds into Black-owned banks, as well. Aside from the sports world, Microsoft co-founder had also been credited with making contributions to some organizations supporting people of color, including Adelante Mujeres , a grassroots organization that works to educate and empower Latina women and their families. He had also pledged to donate $100 million to fight Ebola , a disease that has ravaged the Black populations in West Africa. Allen also was applauded for investing in cultural institutions in Seattle and revitalizing parts of the city . However, some social media users emphasized that the major developments had opened the door for gentrifying Seattle, a practice known as a factor in driving African Americans out of certain neighborhoods. Allen never married and had no children.

P hiladelphia’s police commissioner, who’s Black, rejected a report released on Monday that said police racial bias was instrumental in the controversial arrest of two Black men at Starbucks in April. However, many studies point to implicit bias as an ongoing policing problem. SEE ALSO: Starbucks Incident Prompts Philadelphia Police Department To Finally Try De-escalation In Trespass Cases The Police Advisory Commission, comprised of a citizen oversight board, urged police officials to improve officer implicit bias training, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. “The goal for us was to help everyone understand that issues can be nuanced and tinged with race, or affected by race and racism, and the Police Department, often, is the person at the front lines of all of our issues,” said Hans Menos , executive director of the commission. That didn’t go over well with Philadelphia Commission Richard Ross , who pointed out in a statement that his department bans racially biased policing. “We can agree that biases, whether implicit or explicit, may distort the fears and perception of some citizens who call the police to report crimes,” he stated, shifting the blame to citizens who call the police for help.

Starbucks also closed its stores in May for an afternoon of employee anti-bias training. Studies have determined that suspicion and fear of Black men underpin police brutality and make for disproportionate arrests. Unconsciously, white people perceive Black men as larger and more threatening than white men of the same build, according to the American Psychological Association . Stereotypes of Black men as habitual criminals and dangerous people are reinforced through the media, the American Bar Association said. A national survey found that whites overestimated the percentage of Blacks involved in burglaries, drug sales and juvenile crime by up to 30 percent. Police officers bring those attitudes with them, often unconsciously, when policing Black communities. Police departments across the nation are struggling to help their officers eliminate their bias.
