Radio Host Claims “Black People Are Obsessed With White People… They Don’t Know How To Exist Without White People To Blame Their Problems On” [Audio]

Radio Host Claims Black People Are Obsessed With White People Ain’t this some real bullish… Syndicated radio host Michael Berry is being called out over comments he made claiming that “ black people don’t know how to exist without white people to blame their problems on” and “most white people would like to get as far from black people as they possibly could and never have to see another black person.” The comments were made during a call-in segment on his show during an episode where he was celebrating October as “White History Month…” Prepare to get more appalled after you listen to the audio below: Via Media Matters reports : During the October 1 broadcast of his show, radio host Michael Berry asked listeners to call in and list stereotypical things white people like. When one caller said white people “like to talk about black people,” Berry responded by describing how blacks and whites talk about one another. “Most white people would like to get as far from black people as they possibly could,” said Berry, continuing, “Black people are obsessed with white people… black people don’t know how to exist without white people around to blame their problems on.” You know I’m going to tell you something, Felton. I don’t say this to hurt your feelings, I really don’t. But this is the God’s honest truth and nobody’s ever going to admit this to you. The fact is, most white people — not all white people – most white people would like to get as far from black people as they possibly could and never have to see another black person, and never have to deal with black-people issues, never need to talk about black people. I’m telling you, Felton – and you don’t have to believe this – I’m telling you that if white people are not around black people, they literally never talk about them. I’ve spent time with both groups and I’ll tell you that black people are obsessed with white people and white people simply want to get away. White people go on snow skiing trips to Utah and Colorado and they never see a black person and they don’t stand around going, “Boy, I tell you what! Them black people lazy! They lazy and they violent and they try’n a get our womens!” They don’t do it. The only time white people talk about black people is because black people cannot let them go. They can’t. Black people don’t know how to exist without white people around to blame their problems on. Berry has a long history of making racially-charged comments and currently has a recurring segment on his show devoted to mocking minority victims of gun violence. Berry has said he is “proud” of the segment in comments on social media, praising its “awesomess” (sic). Pretty sad isht. Do you think there is any truth to Berry’s comments? Will we ever see a day when this kind of ignorance is obsolete? Facebook

‘I Hate You Lucious!’ Are Taraji & Terrence Feuding On The Set Of ‘Empire’ Over THIS???

First Yazz , now Taraji??? Are Taraji P. Henson & Terrence Howard Fighting On The Set Of Empire??? Rumors are currently swirling that Cookie and Lucious Lyon might have some real life drama. If you believe the latest reports, Terrence Howard isn’t just fielding criticism from Wendy Williams , he’s also catching hell from his “Empire” costar Taraji P. Henson. According to “inside sources”there’s drama on set between them because Taraji”s “irritated” by  her “bigheaded” costar. Eh…. InTouch Weekly reports: Sources exclusively reveal to In Touch magazine that Empire co-stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard have been clashing on set — and it’s causing major drama behind the scenes of the Fox hit. “It’s gotten so bad that Taraji can’t be on set for more than 30 seconds without staring daggers at him,” a source tells In Touch of Taraji, who became close with the actor when they starred in 2005’s Hustle & Flow. “She’s irritated by the pompous, bigheaded braggart that Terrence has become,” the source adds. “In the beginning, Taraji was the key supporter and apologist for his behavior,” says the source, noting that Taraji famously refused to take on the role of Cookie unless Terrence was cast as her on-screen love interest, Lucious. “But as his arrogance increased, she began to get annoyed.” Empire’s producers secretly love their stars’ bitter feud, because it “prompts some amazing, volatile scenes between them,” adds the source. “The animosity is working to the show’s advantage.” But waaaaait, are they seriously having issues??? Hit the flip for more.

#UCCShooting: Crazed 26-Year-Old Shooter Identified, Described As “Angry Young Man Filled With Hate”

Religion May Have Been A Motivation For UCC Mass Shooter Yesterday the nation stood in shock, again, after news broke that there was ANOTHER mass shooting that took the lives of young people seeking an education. Umpqua Community College lost 9 students as a 26-year-old shooter named Chris Harper Mercer arrived on campus armed with 3 firearms with murderous intentions. According to the NYDailyNews, the shooter’s social media profile revealed that was a “fan” of the IRA (Irish Republican Army), other mass shootings in America and may have been hinting at his plans to terrorize UCC. Police believe that religion was a motivation for the violent massacre. Those victims had been forced to say their religions at gunpoint before Mercer fired on them, according to widely-cited eyewitness accounts. “The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian,” according to a Twitter user who said a relative had survived the shooting.”If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.” Also of note… A dating profile from the religious singles site Spiritual Passions also may hold some clues. Mercer identified himself as an “introvert” and “teetotaller” who was “not religious, not religious, but spiritual.” He called himself mixed race, a conservative Republican and said he was “always dieting.” The profile is titled “IRONCROSS45,” which could be a reference to the German military medal last used by Nazi troops in World War II. A blog that has been linked to him was last updated on Wednesday with an uploaded documentary on the 2013 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., according to CBS News. In another post, he discussed Vester Lee Flanagan, the shooter who gunned down two Virginia journalists on live TV in August. “I have noticed that so many people like [Flanagan] are alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are,” Mercer wrote. “A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems like the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight.” Sounds like this guy was not only a psycho, but looking for a lil’ bit of fame at the expense of 9 human lives. What the HELL is going on in this world?! SMH.

There’s An App For That: CEO Of “Peeple” Defends “Yelp For Humans” From Backlash Over Inevitable Cyber Bullying [Video]

Peeple CEO Defends App That Allows Reviews Of People This sounds like “Don’t Date Him Girl” all over again… According to Fox 4 Kansas City reports: Peep, slated to launch in November, lets mobile users rate the people they know personally, professionally and romantically, according to WPIX. According to the app’s founders Julia Cordray and Nicole McCullough, the app was created to “find the good” in people and not as a cyber bullying tool. The women documented the development of the app in a YouTube series. “I think this app does really help find the best in each of us but it would be pointless if it was all positive,” Cordray said in the online documentary. In order to write a review about someone on Peeple, you need a Facebook profile to link to. People can only review profiles they actually know. A review made by someone the user doesn’t know can be reported as abuse. The review and the user’s profile would be deleted. Reviews are based on a 5-star rating. Negative reviews, a rating of two stars or less, are not immediately published. The reviewer and reviewee get 48 hours to hash it out. If they can’t come to an understanding, the negative review gets published. The reviewee than gets the opportunity to defend themselves on the app. “It’s like Tinder, Facebook, Linkedin and Yelp all in one app,” Cordray described. Critics slammed Peeple, calling it “irresponsible “and “the third circle of hell.” The response was so aggressive, the company’s CEO attempted to shut off the comments section of their Facebook page — an attempt that was met with irony. One critic tweeted, “founder of #peeple, an app designed to collect unsolicited feedback doesn’t appear to like unsolicited feedback.” This definitely sounds like something that could go all the way wrong. Humans by nature are sensitive and it’s way too easy to rub someone the wrong way. Seems like this would be a tool people with petty gripes would really embrace. In a statement to WPIX, Peeple CEO Julia Cordray responded to the backlash: “With any new concept there is naturally fear. When the people found out that the earth was round instead of flat and that we revolved around the sun instead of the sun revolving around us naturally people were upset and confused and they pushed back with all that they had,” she said. “Bringing a new idea to market when people don’t believe that the world is genuinely a good place filled with amazing people there will be push back and fear. We look forward to proving that the people in this world are genuinely good and positive and they will uplift you on our app with over 80 percent positivity.” Do you think this app should be shut down before it even launches? Will it really be over 80 percent positive? WPIX

BOSSIP Exclusive: Morehouse President Announces New Online Portal To Bring Higher Ed To Students In Africa

NEW YORK, NY – SEPTEMBER 29: President of Morehouse College John Wilson Jr. speaks on stage The Africa-America Institute hosts Future Leaders Legacy Fund Awards gala on September 29, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by Eugene Gologursky/Getty Images for The Africa-America Institute) Morehouse President John Wilson Said Africa’s Education Gap Must Be Addressed So Young People Aren’t Left Behind Morehouse College President John Wilson Jr. announced the school is working to create an online portal to reach the growing number of African students with little access to education. “We’re going to begin a new initiative, an online initiative, with some of the powerhouses in America,” Wilson said Tuesday night at the Africa-America Institute’s awards gala in Manhattan. “And we’re going to try to get at the 400 million youths in Africa, to give them a better head start than they would otherwise get, to supplement the educational infrastructure in Africa. And that’s Morehouse College in partnership with many others.” With half of Africa’s 830 million people under the age of 15, and just 700 universities on the continent compared with more than 6,000 in the U.S., Wilson said Africa’s education system simply couldn’t handle the glut of students that will soon swell its ranks. “There are 5.2 million students in higher education in Africa,” he said, “with 300 to 400 million in the pipeline, on deck, something must be done.” Morehouse’s portal project is a partnership between the historically black institution and Strive Masiyiwa, head of global telecom Econet Wireless, as well as others, Wilson said. The college president made the announcement right before he presented a business leadership award to Masiyiwa, who in 2012 launched a scholarship fund at Morehouse to send African students to school there. Wilson didn’t get into details in front of the crowd – which included former NBA player Dikembe Mutombo, Namibian president H.E. Dr. Hage G. Geingob and former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo – but he promised there was more to come. “Stay tuned for a major announcement about that later,” he said. The event raised money to send African students to top universities both in the U.S. and Africa. Hit the flip for more from the gala:

Fair Or Foul??? Minnesota Bride & Groom Bill No-Show Wedding Guests $80 For Skipping Their Nuptials

Tacky or nah??? Bride & Groom Bill No-Show Wedding Guests A Minnesota couple is making national headlines after they sent bills to confirmed guests who skipped out on their big day. One of the no-shows recently outed the couple after she says she received an $80 bill for missing their reception dinner of herb crusted Walleye. Kare11 reports: It was a couple weeks ago, Jessica Baker was getting ready to go to a wedding with her husband when she got a call from her mom. “She called at the last minute and had something come up and said I can’t make it,” said Baker. Her mom was supposed to watch their kids. And since the invitation said no children, that meant no wedding. But then this week, she received a bill for the dinner they were supposed to have enjoyed. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” she said with a smile. “It listed, we would have had two herb crusted walleye and there was also a service and tax charge.” The total came to $75.90. “This cost reflects the amount paid by the bride and groom for meals that were RSVP’d for, reimbursement and explanation for no show, card, call or text would be appreciated,” the note read. She has no plans on paying it, but she did wonder what else she could have done. “This is kind of the wild story,” said Sarah Baumann Rogers. She’s the editor of Minnesota Bride magazine and has some experience on wedding etiquette. “Under no circumstances should you choose to follow up after the fact…kind of questioning why they couldn’t attend or much less sending a bill,” she said. “General rule is prepare for about 10 percent of overage or underage when you’re planning a big event like that and catering companies are well aware of this,” she said Hmmm, what do YOU think??? Is it fair or foul for newlyweds to bill no-show guests??? Wouldn’t this ruin some friendships??? Christianbed.com/Wiki Commons
