Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Somehow foolishness continues to seep into Black History Month, but this time it’s by our own — now removed. Los Angeles Chargers player Jahleel Addae was proudly filmed by his white fiancée Lindsey Nelson toasting to “light skin kids” among a group of swirl friends. Might I add, there wasn’t a sista in sight. The video above was initially posted to Nelson’s Instagram story with the caption reading “Cheers to more light skin kids” in case their ovation wasn’t audible enough. Addae, who is Ghanian-American, is currently being dragged by Twitter and subsequently left the chat, as his Instagram account is now private. Now, for those who want to go on a love-whoever-you-want tangent, please note, the issue isn’t that he’s engaged to a white woman, it’s the underlying reasons indicated by his praise for a potential “light skin baby” (because being mixed doesn’t automatically equal a fair complexion) showcasing an inherent hate toward his own dark skin. Then there’s also those truth-telling Tweets unearthed on Twitter. But everything was considered a joke #NFL #chargers #JahleelAddae #SportsCenter obviously from these previous tweets he has a problem pic.twitter.com/S0BbKMIvw2 — Belida Hernandez (@colombianwynter) February 11, 2019 One user questioned how his female family members feel about his comment? #JahleelAddae family photo. #addae #African #Ghana pic.twitter.com/3Gon2M3brW — Hero Serena (@SwampSipper) February 11, 2019 Others questioned the validity of his engagement?

3 Is A Trend…: A.J. Calloway Accused Of Sexual Assault By 6 Women

Posted on February 14, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Jemal Countess / Getty At what point is AJ Calloway going to be canceled, or even jailed? The former host of BET’s 106 & Park and current Extra host ( though currently suspended ) has been accused of sexual assault by six different women.  Calloway’s accusers have spoken out in a new story from The Hollywood Reporter . So far, six women have come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct and assault. Last year, writer Sil Lai Abrams accused Calloway of groping him, and he was even arrested. However, the case was dismissed on procedural grounds (Calloway maintained his innocence). Reading Abrams’ account inspired Jeannie Delgado, who works in the aviation industry, to reveal that Calloway allegedly raped her in 2009. She claims that after Calloway offered her to stay overnight in a guest room in his home he raped her. “I thought it was not a big deal,” says Delgado, who works in the aviation industry. “I’m thinking this is the guest room. It turned out to be his bedroom. He closed the door behind him. He basically closed the door, locked it and tried to kiss me. I was like, ‘No, no, no.’ Then he went for my pants. He flipped me over, grabbed my hands, held them behind my back.” Holding both her hands in one of his, she says, he used his free hand to pull off her pants. “I’m 5-foot-2, 110 pounds,” she says. “He’s 6-foot-4, and I don’t know how much he weighs. He proceeded to rape me. When I tried to get up, he pulled me back down and bear-hugged me. That was for hours. I lay there crying the whole time. When the sun came up, he raped me again.” (Calloway, via an attorney, denies all allegations of misconduct.) Other accusers include two women, Nancy and Daisy, who didn’t want to use their real names and another woman who chose to remain unnamed. Perhaps the most heinous detail of their stories is that Calloway did not use condoms during the alleged sexual assault. Calloway has denied all the allegations via his lawyer. “These allegations are completely false,” said his attorney Lisa E. Davis. “Mr. Calloway has never sexually assaulted anyone and is devastated that he is being falsely accused of such terrible conduct. Throughout his career, Mr. Calloway has been a tireless advocate for community empowerment and equality and justice for all people regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or gender expression.” Calloway was suspended from Extra after word got out that The Hollywood Reporter was preparing to publish their story. — Photo: Getty

Libertarian Journalist Came For Kamala Harris’ Weed Smoking, Got Facts Wrong

Posted on February 14, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Power 105 / Power 105 In the wake of Sen. Kamala Harris announcing a run for president , a growing chorus of dissent has risen from both the Left and the Right. A Libertarian journalist took aim at Harris’ admittance that she smoked weed while in college and tried to blow holes in her timeline, but the presidential hopeful never said what she’s being accused of by her critics. Crooks and Liars report : Turns out Nick Gillespie’s timeline calculations are a little off. He claims Harris says she smoked pot while listening to Snoop Dogg in college. She didn’t. Nick Gillespie followed up his lie with a lot of concern trolling about who Kamala Harris locked up while she was Attorney General of California. It’s fascinating how they can push the “Democrat open borders leads to MURDER” and the “Kamala Harris was a meanie prosecutor” memes at the same time. I’m sorry to break it to the tighty-whitey guys at Reason Magazine, but Kamala Harris is not talking to you. Thanks to the good sleuth work of Keith Boykin, it’s shown that Sen. Harris never said she listened to Snoop Dogg in college. She did say she smoked weed and listened to 2Pac and Snoop but she never offered a timeline nor linked it to her time in school. Further, she’s said she’s since stopped toking. In fairness, Harris still has her fair share of critics who won’t rest until they find a breaking point. In fact, some are noting under Boykin’s tweet that Harris was already working in her field and still lighting up but again, nothing has been confirmed. How high did @KamalaHarris get while smoking weed in college? High enough to claim she listened to Tupac and @SnoopDogg as a student, though their debuts came after she graduated college ('86) and law school ('89). As with her former position on legalization, she's scamming — Nick Gillespie (@nickgillespie) February 12, 2019 No, Kamala Harris didn’t tell @breakfastclubam she listened to Snoop Dogg and Tupac before they came out. She acknowledged she smoked weed in college. She never said that was the only time she ever smoked. Later when asked if she ever listened to Snoop while high, she said yes. pic.twitter.com/UNCbbl5fC6 — Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) February 13, 2019 — Photo: Power 105

#BlackLivesMatter: Aspiring Rapper Asleep In Car Shot And Killed By Police

Posted on February 13, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: David McNew / Getty An aspiring rapper was killed by six police officers who was he was sleeping in his car. According to Buzzfeed News , on Saturday night six Vallejo, California, police officers were called to Taco Bell to check out Willie James McCoy (aka Willie Bo), who was  slumped over” inside a silver Mercedes-Benz. When police arrived, McCoy, 20, was unresponsive. However, they saw a handgun in his lap, a gun that authorities later discovered was loaded and stolen from Oregon. “The two officers decided to hold their position and did not attempt to wake the driver,”  police said in a statement. “Instead they decided to wait for additional officers to arrive on scene and ensure that people in the parking lot were safe and did not approach the vehicle.”   After noticing that the car’s “transmission was in drive,” they couldn’t open the driver’s side door once additional officers arrived. That’s when the situation turned south. “The driver began to suddenly move and looked at the uniformed patrol officers,” officials said, BuzzFeed reported. “Officers gave the driver several commands to put his hands up. The driver did not comply and instead moved his hands downward toward the firearm.” Then, six police officers opened fire at McCoy for about four seconds, Buzzfeed noted. After the shooting, one of the officers reached through the broken glass and grabbed the handgun. While police claim they tried to perform CPR on McCoy, the young man was declared dead at the scene. McCoy’s cousin David Harrison  told the Los Angeles Times that the Bay Area aspiring rapper was an “ambitious goodhearted kid.” “Willie was a goodhearted kid,” Harrison said. “He loved children. He was ambitious. There was no such things as friends for him. His friends were family.” Harrison also took to Facebook to warn Black parents to protect their children from the police. “You can’t just keep killing us in the streets like this,” adding, “My little cousin was asleep in the car. They shot him 20 mother f*cking times, in a mother f*cking car asleep.” The Solano County district attorney’s office is investigating the shooting.
