Boneheaded “Brotha”: Presidential Candidate Ben Carson Says #BlackLivesMatter Is “Divisive” And “Silly”

Ben Carson Believes #BlackLivesMatters Is A Distraction Dividing America Good luck becoming POTUS with THIS kind of attitude… Via ThinkProgress Since the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Eric Garner in New York, Trayvon Martin in Florida, and countless others, “Black Lives Matter” has become a rallying call for a group of Americans unfairly targeted by police. Taking the message from protests to politicians, the movement has mounted pressure on 2016 presidential candidates to recognize the need for policies to address the disproportionate risk black Americans face of death in the hands of police. But not all candidates are receptive to that message. On Friday, Ben Carson, the only African American candidate from either party vying for the presidency, spoke at a conference organized by black conservative group Freedom’s Journal Institute (FJI) and titled “In Defense of Life: Why All Lives Matter.” Candidates on both the left and right have been criticized for their declaration of those words — “All Lives Matter” — diminishing the goals of the Black Lives Matter movement, which is asking people to recognize that black lives are devalued by our criminal justice system. Ben Carson, however, told ThinkProgress this week he sees the whole movement as divisive. “We need to talk about what the real issues are and not get caught up in silliness like this matters or that matters,” he said at a rally to defund Planned Parenthood Tuesday outside the U.S. Capitol, where protesters held signs reading “Unborn Lives Matter.” “Of course all lives matter. I don’t want to get into it, it’s so silly,” he continued, laughing to himself. “Black lives are part of all lives, right? When we’re talking about a culture of life, then we ought to be talking about a culture of life and not allow ourselves to get caught up in all the divisive rhetoric and terminology and political correctness. It’s the reason we can’t make any progress as a society.” Way to go “brotha” we appreciate you reppin’ for your people…SMFH Image via AP

Kansas City Hotel Supervisor Fired After Hanging A “Slave Doll” From A Plastic Bag Noose In Doorway To Her Office

Kansas City Adams Mark Worker Files Complaint After Supervisor “Lynched” Slave Doll In Entrance To Her Office This is just crazy the isht people think they can get away with these days… According to KSHB Kansas City reports : Jaysyn Craddock is a front desk assistant at the Adam’s Mark Hotel. He explained to 41 Action News that he was working on July 21, when his supervisor hung the black doll from the noose and asked him to come and look at it. “So she looked at me and said, ‘Look what I hung up,’ in a giggling way and she asked me, ‘Does this offend you?’ She didn’t say ‘I’m sorry,’ she said ‘Does this offend you?’ And I didn’t say anything. I was just so upset that I went back to helping people and she left it up until the end of the night,” Craddock said. Later, Craddock and some co-workers complained to the front desk manager. “It’s embarrassing. It’s humiliating. Like I felt like that no actions were going to be taken, because our front desk manager spoke to all of us individually and she asked us if we wanted to speak to the person who hung up the doll and we all said yes. She said something to us individually; but she said after you speak with my supervisor, I don’t want to hear anything about it,” Craddock added. Adams Mark Hotel later fired the supervisor. A statement from the hotel said the supervisor “hung a slave doll using a plastic bag as a noose and displayed the doll in an employee common area.” A photo of the doll has been circulating on social media sites since July 22, according to the attorney. Craddock’s attorneys have filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If the EEOC gives them the green light, Craddock’s attorneys will be able to sue the Adam’s Mark Hotel for harassment. The hotel has since released the following statement: “This isolated incident is completely inconsistent with the values and culture of the Adam’s Mark Hotel Kansas City. This disturbing occurrence took place late Tuesday evening, July 21st. When brought to the attention of management the following day, an investigation was initiated. Immediately following the investigation, the employee was terminated, Friday, July 24th, prior to the start of their next shift. The Adam’s Mark Kansas City is committed to maintaining a positive working environment free of unlawful harassment.” Do you think he should sue the hotel? This is so crazy, the last place anyone should have to deal with this kind of bs is at work. Instagram

Hoy En Mi Gente News: Salma Hayek Thinks Donald Trump Is Such A Douchebag She Won’t Even Say His Name [Video]

Salma Hayek Refuses To Speak Donald Trump’s Name Via HuffingtonPost Salma Hayek treats Donald Trump the same way the wizarding world did with Lord Voldemort: as He Who Must Not Be Named. Hayek sat down with E! News and discussed Trump in light of racist comments he made in June when announcing his candidacy for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, calling Mexicans who come to the United States “rapists,” drug dealers and criminals. “I’m aware that he would say anything to attract attention and create publicity around him,” the actress, who is Mexican, said. “So, if something generates publicity I would never be surprised about anything he does. I’d be surprised if he did something courageous and meaningful that nobody found out about. This was not courageous and meaningful.” The one good thing to come of this, Hayek said, is that Trump’s words pulled back the curtain on the bigoted underbelly of America. “What is interesting about it is that thanks to that [and] all the things that he said — I don’t repeat and I don’t say his name because I don’t want to give him extra publicity — but beyond him,” she said, before continuing, “this concept of America being a place where there is no discrimination, and it’s not racist anymore, and we had the Civil War and the good people won, I think it’s beginning to show that discrimination and racism in this country is a bigger problem than we accept it is. At least he brought a light into a real problem.” We feel what she’s saying, because we think Trump is an azzhole too. But it’s not the headline won’t read “Salma Hayek Won’t Speak Donald Trump’s Name”. Image via WENN/NBC
