Girl, Bye! Michelle Rodriguez Says Liam Neeson KKKan’t Be Racist Because He’s Swapped Spit With Viola Davis

Posted on February 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Michelle Rodriguez Denies That Liam Neeson’s Racist Michelle Rodriguez is catching hell from people who can’t believe what she said about one of her recent costars. If you’ve been keeping up then you’re well aware that Liam Neeson confessed that he had a black male murder fantasy and looked for a black man to kill after his friend was raped. He’s seen denied being racist and added that speed walking (yes, speed walking) helped cure him of his bias . Weird dude. Now his “Widows” costar Michelle Rodriguez is coming to his defense. The actress spoke to Vanity Fair on the red carpet at the amfAR Gala and categorically denied that he’s racist. According to Michelle, that’s impossible because of his passionate spit swapping with Viola Davis in “Widows.” “It’s all fuckin’ bulls***. Liam Neeson is not a racist,” said Rodriguez. “Dude, have you watched Widows? His tongue was so far down Viola Davis’s throat. You can’t call him a racist ever. Racists don’t make out with the race that they hate, especially in the way he does with his tongue—so deep down her throat. I don’t care how good of an actor you are. It’s all bulls***. Ignore it. He’s not a racist. He’s a loving man. It’s all lies.” Sis. *stares in Sally Hemmings* She’s now being fast and furiously escorted out the paint from fans who think she should’ve shifted into STFU… Sees Michelle Rodriguez trending… pic.twitter.com/Jk4Ihk0bCZ — LeslieMac (@LeslieMac) February 7, 2019 Michelle Rodriguez: liam isnt racist he kissed that black chick in that movie… Me: pic.twitter.com/qse6HaJffK — Big Girl Slay (@Biggirlslay) February 7, 2019 and who think our GOOD Auntie’s resisting clapping back at Litty’s lies.

Remembering Trayvon Martin On What Would’ve Been His 24th Birthday [Video]

Posted on February 5, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Allison Joyce/Getty Images / Getty February 5, 2019, Marks Trayvon Martin’s 24th Birthday Today would have been Trayvon Martin’s birthday. The 17-year-old Florida teen who was gunned down in 2012 would’ve been 24-years-old today if his life wasn’t tragically cut short. His mother Sybrina Fulton recently spoke at Oregon State University and spoke on the need for unity. Sybrina who helms the Trayvon Martin foundation told students “we need to learn how to all get along together.” “The time is always right to do the right thing,” said Sybrina. “My disappointment, my sadness, my hurt, my pain, I put all of that in my foundation.” Trayvon’s being remembered today by several celebrities including Ava Duvernay who’s using his passing as a teachable moment about white privilege. When people ask me what white privilege is…. Imagine if this was a white boy in a hoodie with a bag of skittles who was just trying to walk home. https://t.co/ty8ogrzDtC — Ava DuVernay (@ava) February 5, 2019 Others are also pointing out the timing of Liam Neeson admitting that he wanted to kill a random black man after his friend was raped on what would’ve been the teen’s birthday. We are discussing Liam Neeson’s comment about wanting to kill any Black person the same time of Trayvon Martin’s Birthday. — Preston Mitchum (@PrestonMitchum) February 5, 2019 Wow. R.I.P. Trayvon Martin, we will never forget. Wishing a Happy Birthday to our Brother Trayvon Martin who would’ve turned 24 today. RIP. pic.twitter.com/xsYbclHmSn — COMMON (@common) February 5, 2019 Today Trayvon Martin should be turning 24. This is one milestone on a long list of “should haves” Trayvon will never get to enjoy We honor him by continuing to fight for justice, the fight for Black boys & girls — with purpose & intentionality, w/ love & courage. Rest in power. pic.twitter.com/kKKFoPxfJc — CiCi Adams (@CiCiAdams_) February 5, 2019

SMH: Florida Student Accused Of Cheating On SATs After Her Score Improves 330 Points

Posted on January 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood

Source: Ben Crump Law / Ben Crump Law SMH… Kamilah Campbell Denies Cheating On SAT Test, Hires Ben Crump A Miami Gardens girl is calling BS on SAT officials who’ve dubbed her recent test results “invalid.” Seven months ago  Kamilah Campbell took the SATS and scored a 900. Unsatisfied with her score Kamilah decided to retake it again, so she studied and took online classes before retaking it in October. Kamilah says however that instead of getting her results back, she got a shocking letter stating that her results were “invalid.” “We are writing to you because based on a preliminary review, there appears to be substantial evidence that your scores … are invalid,” it said. “Our preliminary concerns are based on substantial agreement between your answers on one or more scored sections of the test and those of other test takers. The anomalies noted above raise concerns about the validity of your scores.” According to Kamilah who spoke with CNN , she called the company and a representative told her that her combined score jumped to 1230 from the reading, writing and language, math and essay sections on her second effort. A score of 1600 is perfect. “I did not cheat. I studied, and I focused to achieve my dream,” she told reporters Wednesday. “I worked so hard and did everything I could do.” She’s since hired Attorney Ben Crump who’s helping her and her mother demand that the College Board validate her score. They’ve given the board two weeks to respond so that Kamilah can be accepted into the Florida State dance program in time for the fall semester. Release Kamilah Campbell SAT scores now! #BlackGirlsRock pic.twitter.com/9WutfiFp1A — Benjamin Crump, Esq. (@AttorneyCrump) January 2, 2019 A spokesman for The College Board is denying that her score was flagged because of the increase. What do YOU think is really going on with Kamilah Campbell’s test results? Is there another reason why the college board thinks her score is invalid?   Continue reading →

Posted on December 28, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Olivier Douliery-Pool / Getty Richard Overton Passes Away A true American hero has passed away. Richard Overton, America’s oldest War War II veteran and the man believed to be the oldest person in the United States, died Thursday afternoon. The news was confirmed by his family member Shirley Overton to CNN. He was previously lauded by President Obama who honored him at a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in 2013 and the centenarian credited his long life to God’s grace. Overton also enjoyed vices like whiskey and cigar smoking and butter pecan ice cream that he ate nightly. “I drink whiskey in my coffee. Sometimes I drink it straight,” CNN reports he said when he was 107. “I smoke my cigars, blow the smoke out; I don’t swallow it.” Overton served with the 188th Aviation Engineer Battalion, an all-black unit in the Pacific, and began volunteering for the army in 1942. Before his passing, he visited Washington D.C.’s National Museum of African-American History and Culture. He would have been 113 on May 11, 2019. R.I.P. Mr. Overton. Thank you for your service.

Finally: Former Officer Amber Guyger Indicted On Murder Charge For Botham Jean Shooting

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Splash News / SplashNews.com / Splash News Amber Guyger Indicted For Murder In Botham Jean Shooting The former Dallas officer who gunned down Botham Jean in his own apartment has been indicted. CBS 11 reports that a grand jury has indicted Amber Guyger for murder in the September 6 shooting death. As previously reported Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall had already terminated her for “engaging in adverse conduct” when she was charged with manslaughter. This comes after local D.A. John Creuzot said he wanted Guyger to be charged with murder instead of manslaughter. Local media outlets have requested copies of the 911 call Guyger made after the shooting. So far the Dallas PD has declined to provide the call and sent the open records requests to the attorney general for final determination. This is a big win—for now. Let’s see how things go when the trial starts.

New Music: Motown Magic Soundtrack Set To Release November 16

Posted on November 9, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

  Melodia/Motown Records will release Motown Magic Original Soundtrack – a 13-song collection of classic Motown hits newly recorded by some of today’s most acclaimed artists – just days before the November 20 premiere of Josh Wakely’s animated Netflix series Motown Magic. The album will be available in CD and digital formats on Friday, November 16. The series’ theme song – and the soundtrack’s lead-off track – is “ABC,” with 11-year-old Zacary James (Melisizwe Brothers) singing lead. “ABC” is one of the Jackson 5’s signature songs and charted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April of 1970, knocking The Beatles’ “Let It Be” off the top of the tally. Three-time GRAMMY® winner NE-YO covers Steve Wonder’s No. 1 hit “Superstition.” Other artists featured on the album, produced by Wakely, include Becky G, BJ The Chicago Kid, Skylar Grey, Calum Scott and Trombone Shorty. Motown legend Smokey Robinson, Executive Music Producer for the series, contributes newly recorded versions of two hits that he co-wrote for other artists: “My Girl,” which was The Temptations’ first No. 1 hit, and “I’ll Be Doggone,” which was Marvin Gaye’s first single to top the R&B chart and has never before been recorded by Robinson. The soundtrack’s recordings were produced by Don Was, Harvey Mason Jr., Bob Mothersbaugh and Sean Carey. Throughout its illustrious history, the Motown music label has released some of the world’s most beloved songs, many of which are featured in MOTOWN MAGIC.
