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!
Prince Michael says his father wanted all his children to pursue whatever they wanted in life. He chose a video production company entitled “King’s Son.” He gave the reason why: “So, I was born as Prince and that was the name my dad had given to me, but my dad had earned the epithet King of Pop and that’s through hard work and years of training and everything that he worked so hard to get. So it’s a form of motivation because my name is Prince, but for all intents and purposes I am the King’s son — working to get my own epithet.” GMA
SMFH!!! KKK Protesting Sentencing Of White Supremacists After two members of white supremacist organization “Support The Flag” were sentenced for crashing a black child’s birthday party and hurling racial slurs at attendees , they’re now (of course) getting support from the KKK. As previously reported Kayla Rae Norton, 25, and Jose Ismael Torres, 26, were sentenced to a total of 35 years for inciting terror at the child’s party by driving up with confederate flags and waving a gun while shouting that they were going to “kill the n****s.” Now the KKK thinks their “shameful” sentencing deserves a protest. According to FOX 5 about 200 KKK members are expected outside of a Douglas County, Georgia courthouse today at noon. The news station spoke with Stephen Howard, the “imperial wizard,” who told them that they’ll be fully armed and “robed up.” He also added that the couple’s sentencing is “shameful” and “not right.” Hopefully this protest stays peaceful and people ignore those hood-clad cowards. Despite the protest, their white supremacist friends are STILL going to jail. AP Photo/The Journal, Jason Turner
Kylie Jenner Smokes Marijuana In New Photoshoot Kylie Jenner’s following closely in her big sis Kim’s footsteps. Now that she’s (somewhat) grown , Her job is basically to take random sexy pictures and sell products…sometimes simultaneously. Keeping in line with that, she’s just released some new photos of herself topless and smoking on that Calabasas kush….with full hair and makeup, of course. We guess it’s no biggie. Weed is legal in California after all…and Kylie is over 18. We’re sure she and Tyga have been piff-puffing together on the regular since she was a sophomore in high school anyway. But of course, Kylie wasn’t done there. She also unveiled photos of her bare butt (shoutout ti Kimmy), which she also plans to screen print on tee shirts and sell to the impressionable children that call themselves her fans. But we guess selling photos of those plumped-up cakes is just a return on investment for the enhancements she’s purchased. Hit the flip… Instagram

Drive-In Theatre Cancels “Beauty And The Beast” Due To Gay Character According to AL.com , an Alabama drive-in theater is refusing to show “Beauty And The Beast” after the director spilled the beans that one of the characters in the movie is gay. Apparently, in the live-action version of the fairy tale , Gaston’s lackey Lefou (played by Josh Gad) has implied feelings for Gaston. Since we haven’t seen the flick yet, we aren’t sure exactly how this plays out…but Josh Gad has described it as “very subtle,” so we’re speculating that it’s something that would probably fly over little kids’ heads anyway. Either way, the word “gay” set the Mom & Pop owners of the Henagar Drive-In off and they said they aren’t showing the movie AT ALL, since there’s no way they could watch something like that with their grandkids in the seats next to them and the Lord sharing their popcorn. As they shared to Facebook: As of December 16th the Henagar Drive-In is under new ownership. Movies scheduled prior to that date and four weeks after this date were not scheduled by the new owners. That being said…It is with great sorrow that I have to tell our customers that we will not be showing Beauty and the Beast at the Henagar Drive-In when it comes out. When companies continually force their views on us we need to take a stand. We all make choices and I am making mine. For those that do not know Beauty and the Beast is “premiering” their first homosexual character. The producer also says at the end of the movie “there will be a surprise for same-sex couples”. If we can not take our 11 year old grand daughter and 8 year old grandson to see a movie we have no business watching it. If I can’t sit through a movie with God or Jesus sitting by me then we have no business showing it. I know there will be some that do not agree with this decision. That’s fine. We are first and foremost Christians. We will not compromise on what the Bible teaches. We will continue to show family oriented films so you can feel free to come watch wholesome movies without worrying about sex, nudity, homosexuality and foul language. Thank you for your support! So as adults…they can only ever watch movies that are appropriate for children? Ok… Well, it is their business and not showing the movie is definitely their decision and they 100% have the right to make it. It does seem like overkill to refuse to show the movie before first screening it for content to see if that’s even necessary. However, we have a feeling a lot of folks in our comment section are probably going to go ahead declare that their kids aren’t going to be allowed to see this one as well… What do you think? Disney
Hollywood Medium is back selling dreams giving readings to the rich and famous with messages from their deceased loved ones and the beyond. You think Biggie is going to have anything special to say to Kim ? E!
Former Vice President, Joe Biden confirmed the news of the relationship with the New York Post’s Page Six, “We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jill’s all and complete support and we are happy for them.” You may be wondering what the hell “N*gga I ain’t worried about nothin’” has to do with all of this. Well, I’m trying to put myself in Beau’s shoes. I’m wondering if my soul would be troubled by the fact that my sibling was now romantically involved with my spouse. A part of me thinks that I would be occupied with more pressing concerns, like how my parents and children were coping in the wake of my departure. I would like to think that I wouldn’t be tripping about the fact that two people who I loved dearly, fell in love with each other. Once you get past the salaciousness of the news, it makes sense. Hallie had just lost her husband. Hunter had just lost his brother and then left his wife. Their names both start with an H. You don’t have to think hard about how they might have ended up with one another.

[ madamenoire ] Desiigner, D.R.A.M., Lil Yachty Land Spots on Forbes Cash Prince List Forbes just dropped another one of their pocket-watcher alerts. The money magazine has revealed the 2017 iteration of their annual Cash Princes [and Princesses] list. Most of them are names that you’ve been hearing from everyday, all day, all year. Desiigner, D.R.A.M., Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert and Young M.A. are the obvious inclusions as their profiles have been hard to miss. Not obvious additions were Isaiah Rashad and Noname. The list was rounded out by British MC Stormzy [who just dropped a very dope album] and singers Tory Lanez and Bryson Tiller. How does one qualify to be on the Cash Prince list? Obviously, you have to be making some good money. Yachty for example, has secured his bag via Sprite and Target commercials as well commanding $100,000 a show. You also have to be under the age of 30 and have never appeared on the list before. The list was put together by TDE’s Dave Free, Too $hort, Brit rapper Little Simz as well as staffers from Forbes.

Colin Kaepernick Is Done Kneeling For The National Anthem The kneel is over, the kneel is over… According to ESPN , things will be different for San Francisco 49ers baller Colin Kaepernick next season. The controversial QB will opt out of his contract and look for a new team to sign him. He’ll also be standing for the National Anthem. Kaepernick no longer wants his method of protest to detract from the positive change he believes has been created, sources told ESPN. He also said the amount of national discussion on social inequality — as well as support from other athletes nationwide, including NFL and NBA players — affirmed the message he was trying to deliver. Kaep will continue to run The Colin Kaepernick Foundation and will be donating millions of dollars to communities in need. Guess he feels like his mission is accomplished, and in some ways, he’s right. But it’s hard not to feel just a tad bit disappointed that things are going to be business-as-usual next year.
