Chance The Rapper Donates Over $1 Million To Chicago Public Schools Chance the Rapper is still keeping up the momentum from his Friday evening meeting with the Governor of Illinois over the fate of severely underfunded Chicago Public Schools. After what he called a “disappointing” exchange with Governor Rauner, Chance vowed to bounce back on Monday with a plan of his own to help the school system: Chicago Public Schools and I did not lose today. Please don't let that become the narrative. Monday morning I'll have a plan. — Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) March 3, 2017 And he stuck to his word. The rapper held a press conference at Westcott Elementary School in Chicago on Monday afternoon to not only discuss the importance of and possibilities for education funding but to announce that he is personally making a $1 million donation to Chicago Public Schools. The news conference focused on what Chance called an “urgent need” to provide funding for Chicago schools, and glossed over his disappointment in the Governor’s stance on the matter, noting that Rauner was unwilling to budge on denying funding to the schools without pushing back with his own ultimatums. “Gov. Rauner can use his executive power to give Chicago’s children the resources they need to fulfill their God-given right to learn. Our talks were unsuccessful.” Great to see Chance taking matters into his own hands! Hopefully he can get someone in goverment on his side to follow suit. Splash
Milwaukee Elementary School Teacher Arrested For Sex Assault Of 11-Year-Old Another day, another pedo teacher who can’t keep her hands off of a child’s penis. 24-year-old Katherine Gonzalez was placed in stainless steel bracelets and charged with first degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 13 according to DailyMail . Katherine is an elementary school teacher at Atlas Preparatory Academy and was caught sending Snapchats to an 11-year-old boy in addition to exchanging gropes in her car and at her home. The two touched each other’s ‘private parts through their clothing,’ prosecutors said. The teacher allegedly told the student not to tell anyone about their relationship because she could lose her job and go to jail. Gonzalez told authorities that the victim is ‘chronically depressed’ and admitted to saying things to make the 11-year-old boy happy. Happy?! She could have made him “happy” with a new pair of Jordans. He would have been happy as hell! What he DIDN’T need was a dry hand job from his lonely and demented teacher. SMFH.

Immigrants??? https://t.co/f0RH7iXBrn — NAACP (@NAACP) March 6, 2017 Ben Carson’s Knowledge About Slavery History Is Pretty Much Trash Not sure how Ben Carson made his way through all those years of college and was able to get into medical school without knowing jack isht about history, but then again this country has never given much credence to telling the truth about black history anyway. The HUD secretary made another huge blunder today during a speech to employees where he called the U.S. the land of dreams and opportunity, Carson mentioned “immigrants” riding in the bottom of slave ships with dreams for their descendants: Via The Daily Beast : “There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.” He added: “They too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.” Pretty sure those “immigrants” on the bottom of slave ships were dreaming about escape, survival and death — not this so-called land of opportunity where they’d be forced to work for ZERO wages, be tortured regularly and torn away from their loved ones. WTF @ worked even harder for “less.” SMH… This cabinet is so full of dummies it’s hard to tell who the biggest fool is. HUD spox says no one in the room believed Secretary Ben Carson “was confusing voluntary immigration with involuntary servitude. Please.” — Michael Del Moro (@MikeDelMoro) March 6, 2017 And we’re supposed to believe Carson actually knew what he was talking about? PLEASE!
Too Short Releases A Statement Denying Rape Allegations Earlier this week, we reported that one of Too Short’s artists had accused him of sexually assaulting her at an L.A. mansion. While Short has not been arrested or formally charged, he has released a statement refuting all the allegations against him. “Today, I read that I am being investigated for allegedly committing sexual assault. The allegations against me are completely false. Let me be clear, I have NEVER had nonconsensual sex with anyone, ever. I have directed my lawyers to vigorously combat these ridiculous claims. I have not been contacted by the LAPD about this matter and doubt I ever will be. If I am, I will direct my lawyers to fully cooperate and turn over 100’s of text messages and other evidence that will prove this woman is falsely accusing me. Thanks for your support.” At this point we still have no update on the LAPD’s investigation. Guess we’ll have to wait and see how this unfolds. Image via Instagram
The Breaks is a good show on VH1 that airs on Mondays, in case you didn’t know. Teyana Taylor makes an appearance as “Imani X” and destroys the freestyle battle on the next episode.
Rem Ma and Fat Joe went on Wendy Williams today and Rem didn’t hold her tongue. For all of us who thought the beef was over music, Remy says Nicki Minaj was hating in the backgrounds and trying to stop her shine and THAT’S why she threw the diss at her grill like that. The whole time Remy is explaining this problem, Fat Joe is looking like he wants no parts… LOL
