Trumps Plan To “Fix” Black America Early on in Trumps campaign he reached out to leaders in the black community with a 10 point plan to “fix” Black America, who he claimed lived in the poorest communities, received the worst education and had the lowest chances of getting a job in all of the country. He followed it up with “What do you have to lose?..” as the reason why blacks should fall in line and trust his policies. After being elected as the 45th President of the United States Trump finally rolled out his new deal for Black America on his website. Here are his 10 points to helping the African Americans in the United States. Will Trumps plan “fix” Black America?
On Wednesday morning, I woke to a pounding headache and tears already forming in my eyes. Like so many, I stayed up late, watching our country’s electoral map light up red as Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States. Despite months of blatant displays of discrimination and xenophobia — […]
Protest against Donald Trump in several cities across the country were joined by celebrities such as TI and Meek Mill. Several Americans are taking their frustrations to the streets to let their voice be heard. Although Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, the way our electoral college is set up the presidency was snagged by […]
GoFundMe Raises Over $243K For Black Church Defaced By Trump Supporters A GoFundMe campaign created to help a historically Black Mississippi church vandalized by alleged Trump supporters has now raised over $243,000. Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church parishioners in Mississippi recently found their place of worship burned with and defaced with the words “Vote Trump,” painted on the walls. The GoFundMe page created by J. Blair Reeves on behalf of the church wrote this message to help gain donations: On Tuesday, November 1st, 2016, unknown criminals burned a predominantly black Baptist church in Greenville, Mississippi and scrawled graffiti on it: “Vote Trump”. The animus of this election cycle combined with the potent racial history of burning black churches as a political symbol makes this event something we must not ignore. Only two weeks ago, the internet came together to help repair a North Carolina GOP field office that had been burned by thugs. Justice demands we do the same now. More details as they are available. Can we do this? Can we help show the world, the country, and most importantly, the churchgoers of Hopewell Baptist that we, as a society, are better than this? The campaign only asked for $10,000 to repair the sanctuary but has since been flooded with donations from all over the world… We must destroy hate with love and stand in solidarity for what is right!
Today, the longest, most vitriolic presidential election in US history will finally comes to a close. (Unless someone does something crazy like contest the results even if they have no legal grounds on which to do so, but this is America. We wouldn’t stand for something like that, right? RIGHT?!) You may think that no one could possibly be more ready than you are to see this thing finally wrap up (hopefully in a riot-free fashion), but you would be wrong: You may remember Tiffany Trump from her speech at the Republican National Convention in July and then … well, that’s about all you would remember her for. While the three eldest Trump kids have been stumping for their daddy for the past 17 months, Tiff has maintained a significantly lower profile. Hell, Melania Trump, has done more public speaking over the course of this campaign, and she basically just gets up there and reads from Michelle Obama’s diary. Many have wondered why the 22-year-old recent University of Pennsylvania grad chooses to play such a non-existent role in her father’s run for the White House. After all, anyone who’s familiar with Tiffany’s music career knows that she craves the spotlight and is willing to deeply humiliate herself in order to get it: Tiffany Trump: “Like a Bird” So why isn’t she out there drumming up support for her father at rally events all over the country? Well, it might be that Tiff is fully aware of what most Americans have known for years: Her dad is the douche to end all douches. Check out what he had to say about Tiffany during his 50 millionth call-in interview on Fox & Friends this morning: Around the 14:40 mark in the clip above, Trump gives a shout-out to his kids, as only he can: Donald Trump on Tiffany Trump: Who? “I’m very proud of my children. I mean, I’m just looking at them right now, as an example for your show. But I’m very proud. “Because Don and Eric and Ivanka and—you know, to a lesser extent because she just got out of school, out of college—but, uh, Tiffany, who has also been so terrific. “I mean, they work so hard.” Yeah, it’s always nice to hear your dad praise your siblings, then grudgingly add your name to the list “to a lesser extent.” Throughout the entire interview, Trump only made a brief, passing reference to his youngest son, Barron, who made a couple appearances but barely helped out at all, ya know? Sure, he’s only 10, but when is he gonna start pulling his weight?! Jeez! Trump also referenced the support he received from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick. At a rally last night, Trump claimed Brady had already voted for him, and he carefully walked back that lie today. Interestingly, Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, says she and husband will not be supporting Trump . We like to imagine Trump responding with: View Slideshow: Tiffany Trump: The Donald’s Daughter is Hotter Than His Temper! “Look, lady, I have no idea what’s going on in my own family; you think I can keep track of yours? “By the way, that’s a lovely accent. Mind if I take a look at your birth certificate?”
The social media backlash that Beyoncé has received for her Country Music Awards performance Thursday is proof that White America still fears the Black planet. https://twitter.com/cnn/status/794594564141187072 Not unlike many Trump voters, the country music lovers who left racist comments on the awards show’s Facebook stream aren’t moving off of logic. Their ignorance is a […]
Will the residents of Mystic Falls ever find happiness? That was a key question on The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 3 when Sybil put a plan in motion to get Damon and Enzo away from the ladies in their lives. We kicked things off with Sybil changing the memory of the car crash that killed Elena’s parents. It was a heartbreaking scene, that signaled the return of Liz Forbes. Sybil made Damon think Elena died in the car crash, but Damon didn’t care because Sybil had already wiped her from existence in his memory. Sybil then tried to get Enzo to switch off his humanity, but she quickly realized she would need to take Bonnie out of the equation if she had any hope of taking the two men on as her soldiers. Caroline and Bonnie were in a bridal store, trying to find dresses for the wedding, but Damon showed up and ruined the fun. Caroline managed to overpower him, and they made their escape. The two friends hit up the Salvatore mansion, but Stefan had already removed the weapons so the house was not full of hazards for the kids. Stefan was busy working with Alaric to try and find a way to take Sybil down, but things were pretty awkward between them. Stefan got a phone call to go meet Damon, but he was scared Damon was going to try trick him into something. When they met up, Damon asked Stefan to help him, but he couldn’t reveal what the plan was. When he opened his trunk, Enzo was unconscious. View Slideshow: 17 Television Characters Who Have Served Their Country Sybil showed up at the Salvatore mansion and told Caroline and Bonnie that Damon would be fighting to the death with Enzo and the winner would be her soldier. Sybil was being surprisingly civil with the two ladies. It seemed like the two of them were going to die, but Sybil let them in on the plan. They set off for the fight, but Bonnie got sick of Sybil and put her through the windscreen of the car. When they got to the fight, Sybil arrived and told the two men to stop fighting, before turning Enzo’s humanity switch off. She then gave Bonnie a head start to run off before Damon caught her. Alaric stepped in with the pitchfork and hit it. It made Sybil fall to the ground and the team swooped in to kidnap her. They succeeded, but she could still contact Damon from the armory. Damon then set off to cause a world of destruction. He went for Tyler Lockwood and actually murdered him. You guys, Damon is completely freaking crazy. There’s really no turning back from what he’s done now and even Alaric thinks that saving him is a lost cause. Sybil may be captured, but she still has a whole lot of control. View Slideshow: 24 Shocking TV Deaths Bonnie is now faced with the tough task of trying to get Enzo back to being good, but will she really manage to save him? I mean, we’re only three episodes into the final season, so there’s still a lot of story left to tell. It sure seems like Stefan and Alaric could have a bond as strong as Dalaric, but we’ll need to wait and see how the rest of the season plays out. Hit the comments below with your take on the events.

Unless you’re the person who watches Suits , you probably never heard the name Meghan Markle before this week. At this point, she’s been the subject of so many tabloid headlines that it’s hard to believe it was just a few days ago that the world learned Markle is dating Prince Harry . It’s unclear exactly how long Harry and Miss Markle have been together, but it’s not easy to keep secrets in the Royals’ world, so you can bet the relationship didn’t remain on the down-low for very long. It doesn’t appear that there’s any truth behind those rumors that Meghan and Harry are engaged , but they are moving rather quickly. In fact, it seems they were dating for just a few weeks when Harry decided to introduce Meghan to his blue-blooded family. Sources claim that when Harry turned 32 back in September, Meghan was by his side for a posh celebration at a secluded estate in the country hamlet of Aberdeenshire. (Ed. note: Aberdeenshire might win the award for most British-sounding place on the planet.) “I’d call the visit a coming-out party,” an insider tells Us Weekly . “It would have been the first time some of his close friends got to meet her.” “It’s been important for Harry to introduce Meghan to the people he cares about,” adds another source. Yes, Meghan was hanging with Charles and Camilla way back on September 15. Not bad for a woman who was previously best-known for starring on freakin’ Suits (inasmuch as people who appear on Suits can be described as stars). Interestingly, she still hasn’t met William and Kate, but a royal insider says that’s simply a scheduling matter. “Not meeting William and Kate yet has simply been about not being in the same place at the same time,” explains an insider. “They will see each other soon.” Somewhere, Kate is bingeing all six seasons of Suits so that she has something to talk to Meghan about. Maybe she can ask her what was up with that episode where Mark cheated on Susan, but then you find out at the end that it was all a dream. Was that a thing that happened on Suits? We have no idea, and neither do you! View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 16 Things to Know About Prince Harry’s New Squeeze In fact, no one will ever know. It’s a mystery for the ages…
Beyoncé tore up the stage at last night’s Country Music Awards, performing her Lemonade hit “Daddy Lessons” with the Dixie Chicks. There’s no doubt that the presence of Bey drew thousands — if not millions — of new viewers to the awards show, but apparently that means nothing when your core audience are a […]
