Fair Or Foul? Confederate Flag-Flying Driver Gets Brutally Beaten By Witnesses After Running Over 4-Year-Old Black Boy

SMH… Confederate Flag Flying Man Beaten For Running Over Child An 18-year-old white man was recently hospitalized after police say he “accidentally” hit a 4-year-old black boy with his truck that had a Confederate flag flying on it. Minnesosta.CBS Local reports: Neighbors say racial tensions likely fueled an attack on a teenager who hit a boy with his truck. The 18-year-old hit 4-year-old Damajae Winn Monday night at an apartment complex in Winona. Police say when he got out to check on the boy, as many as ten people beat him up. Thirteen-year-old Brook Schrumpf was in the truck with her 18-year-old boyfriend when he struck 4-year-old Damajae on Monday. “We didn’t see him until after the fact,” Schrumpf said. “We didn’t see him until he was lying on the ground. He’s like, ‘I’m pretty sure I just hit a kid.’ I’m like, Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.” Faint tire marks show were Schrumpf said her boyfriend slammed on the brakes. Several neighbors witnessed what happened. “His mom was holding him, he was bleeding pretty bad,” Tamara Witherspoon said. She said they got out to see if Damajae was okay when her boyfriend was jumped. “His mom kept screaming at me,” Schrumpf said. “‘You’re a racist b—-‘ and just yelling at me and all these guys were coming at Ryan and hitting him.” He was pushed to the ground, hit and kicked. A Confederate flag that used to stick out the back of the driver’s truck may be what caused tension in the neighborhood. Schrumpf said a few months ago the Confederate flag was stolen and burned.   Uhhhhh…why is the 18-year-old’s girlfriend 13???? What do YOU think about this beating??? Fair or foul???

Machete-Wielding White Man Attacks Black Woman While Screaming “F*ck Black Lives Matter!”

California Woman Racially Attacked By White Man With Machete Another racially diven attack has taken place in California. This time, a woman was charged by a racist White man wielding a machete , angrily shouting anti-Black sentiments . Via ClutchMagazine : When she moved from Alabama to Alameda County, California Dr. Nakieta Lankster never thought she’d be a victim of a hate crime, but that’s exactly what he said happened during the early morning hours of August 22. As she sat in front of her condo just after midnight, Lankster spotted a white man staring into her car. At first, she didn’t think much of him. “He was still on the sidewalk, so I thought maybe he was looking for somebody,” she told CLUTCH, discussing the traumatic incident for the first time. Though Lankster didn’t worry about the man at first, when he circled around the front of her vehicle, still peering into her windows, she decided to head inside her apartment. That’s when she saw his machete. “He just started charging at me with the machete and screaming ‘F– you, Black b—h, don’t get stabbed,” Lankster recalled. After threatening her, the man then began pacing in the street while yelling, “F–k Black Lives Matter,” before advancing on Lankster again. “I hopped in my car. I’ve never moved that fast in my life,” she said, still shaken up days later. Lankster drove to a shopping center down the street from her condo and called the police. Within minutes, several officers from the San Leandro Police Department arrived and took the man down. Even though Lankster had never seen the man, police informed her that he is actually one of her neighbors. And it seems he really didn’t like her living on his block…Lankster says that even as police were cuffing him, he continued to hatefully stare her in the eye. SMH! Thankfully she made it out of this incident unharmed, because this could have gone even further left very quickly.

New Music: BJ The Chicago Kid Ft. Chance The Rapper & Buddy – “Church” [Video]

Featuring a half-playful, half-serious verse from fellow Chicagoan wunderkind Chance The Rapper, and bridge assistance from Pharrell Williams’ sleeper apprentice, Buddy, “Church” continues BJ’s humble stumble down the path of righteousness, a theme threaded throughout his music since he first came on the scene as a solo artist in 2012. With every possible temptation (“She say she wanna drink, do drugs and have sex tonight / But I got church in the morning”), he rights himself. We all meander, and slip and fall, and let certain morals fall by the wayside. “Church” is a reminder that while we’re only human, we can control our own destinies. Sounds like something we all go through. Are you feeling this one?? NPR

Headstrong: Breezy Adds Even More Ink To His Recently Tatted-Up Scalp

Chris Brown Adds More Ink To His Head Tattoo Breezy wasn’t quite done with the reckless tattoo session he got into the other night. The R&B crooner was feeling his head-tatt so much that he went back to add even more ink to his skull today. Chris made it clear that he doesn’t care about the online roast sessions he’s been subjected to since permanently printing a random white woman on his head yesterday while debuting the new art on the other side of his head via Instagram earlier today: We’re still in the dark as to what all of this ink means. We know he’s a Taurus so we’re assuming that’s what the bull is all about, but still not clear on what figure of Greek or Roman mythology that is on the other side of his dome… We just wonder if he plans to add even more at this point. What are thoughts on Breezy’s new ink??? Instagram

Did Terrence Howard’s Divorce Drama Cost Him Screen Time On ‘Empire’ Season 2?

Terrence Howard’s ‘Empire’ Role Scaled Back Over Personal Life Empire fans already know that as of last season’s end, the Lyon family is on the outs, and the Lucious Lyon is cooling his heels behind bars. But apparently there’s an even bigger reason that locked-up Lucious is spending so much time behind bars this season. It seems that Terrence’s constant air-out of his dirty laundry during his summer-long divorce settlement case — and separate secret divorce proceedings from his most recent wife — that producers have decided to tiptoe back a bit from featuring Terrence so much this season. Via PageSix : Terrence Howard’s ongoing personal drama is carrying over into his professional life. A source tells Page Six that Howard’s role in the upcoming second season of “Empire” will be scaled back because of his recent divorce drama and numerous prior allegations of domestic abuse, which have resurfaced in recent weeks. On the music drama, the 46-year-old Oscar nominee plays Lucious Lyon, the founder and CEO of Empire Entertainment. At the end of the show’s smash first season, Lucious was arrested for murder, but according to our source, it’s more than a storyline — it’s a calculated move to keep Howard on the sidelines. “What they are doing is two-fold,” said the source. “They have him locked up so you won’t be seeing him in as many scenes. But they are bringing in so many, and I mean so many, guest stars and cameos that the average viewer won’t realize it because there is so much going on.” Other changes are also in store for the musical drama: Taraji P. Henson’s role as Cookie Lyon will be pushed to the forefront, the insider adds. Howard’s off-screen drama has become hard to ignore. In recent weeks, he’s been involved in a bitter battle to have his 2012 divorce settlement with his second wife, Michelle Ghent, overturned. Allegations of domestic abuse from his first wife Lori McCommas and ex-girlfriend May Seng Yang have also come back into the spotlight in recent weeks. Not to mention a secret divorce from his third wife, Mira Pak, which made headlines earlier this month. Welp…people generally like Cookie’s character far more than Lucious’ anyway, so indirectly he’s probably helping Fox give the people what they really want. Do you think Terrence will be all that missed this season?

#BlackLivesMatter: Texas City Council Approves Measure To Rename Street Sandra Bland Parkway

Texas City Council Approves Measure To Rename Street After Sandra Bland Prairie View City Council has approved a measure to rename a major city street after Sandra Bland , the woman who was found dead in a Waller County Jail cell following her arrest last month. Via ABC 7 Chicago : Earlier Tuesday, hundreds of Prairie View A&M students, alumni, and friends marched at Prairie View A&M, pushing to get the street going into the university named “Sandra Bland Parkway.” Some of the participants were her sorority sisters with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Incorporated. Some went to school with her. Many never met her but her story touched them in some way or another. The walk started at the student union building at 4:27pm, the time Bland was pulled over on July 10 and subsequently arrested on University Boulevard. The walk ended about a mile and a half away at City Hall, where hours later council members agreed to rename the street. Authorities say the 28-year-old Bland hanged herself with a plastic bag three days after her arrest. But her case struck a nerve across the nation and in Prairie View. The majority of the people out marching on Tuesday said there are still a lot of unanswered questions surrounding Bland’s death. “If every time they pull over a student, they have to be reminded of what took place here, then that will help the relationship to be more respectful between the officers and the students,” protester Hannah Bonner said. Not everyone wants the street to be renamed. One woman told Eyewitness she believes what happened to Bland is tragic, but there are people who have done much more for the Prairie View community and who are much more deserving of such an honor than Bland. We will always remember Sandra Bland!

Florida Crazies: Woman Plotted To Kill Daughter’s Homeless Boyfriend Because He Had Lice

Florida Woman Plotted To Kill Daughter’s Boyfriend Over Lice Florida is really America’s basement … Via AJC : A woman in Florida was arrested after plotting to kill her daughter’s homeless boyfriend for allegedly giving her grandchildren lice, the Daytona News-Journal reports. According to New Smyrna Beach police, Pamela Vanorsdale, 50, called her former son-in-law, Daniel Dionne, 33, on Thursday asking him to kill 22-year-old Dylan Loveless. Police found out about the planned murder when Dionne went to a Daytona Beach police detective, News-Journal reports. Vanorsdale said she also wanted Loveless killed because “he messed with Dionne’s children, choked one of the kids and chased another child with dogs while making sexual comments to the child,” police told the News-Journal. Vanorsdale told Dionne she would lure Loveless away from his homeless camp by telling him about potential work, then give Dionne a .25-caliber handgun with two bullets, which “would do the job if Dionne were to pop him in the head and chest,” investigators said. She also suggested Dionne leave Loveless’ body in South Carolina and then give her the gun back “because she could clean it and make it look like it was never fired,” police told the News-Journal. When questioned by police Vanorsdale said she was only joking when she asked Dionne to kill Loveless. Her husband then gave police the handgun, according to the police report. Vanorsdale was charged with criminal solicitation to commit murder and was released from jail on a $25,000 bail. SMH!!!!!
