Fair or foul ??? Greeks Protest Outside VH1 Offices Members of Black Greek letter organizations are still steaming mad over VH1’s “Sorority Sisters” and recently took to the station’s office to protest. WatchTheYard reports: The #BoycottSororitySisters movement has taken to the streets! This weekend, members of NPHC fraternities and sororities showed up in front of the VH1 offices in New York to protest the exploitation of Black women and culture in their programming. While the movement against the ‘Sorority Sisters’ show has grown very strong online via the hashtag #BoycottSororitySisters and has resulted in over 25 advertisers pulling their support, this is the first physical protest of the show. We must also note that these greeks were not simply protesting the ‘Sorority Sisters’ show but also other reality shows that distort the image of Black women in the United States. What do YOU think about this?? Are disparaging reality shows really worthy of a protest??? Or is writing to advertisers enough ???
So sad… Shaneka Thompson Recovering After Shooting A woman who dated NYPD executioner Ismaaiyl Brinsley less than a year before his murderous rampage isn’t dead as originally thought, but recovering in a hospital. Brinsley shot 29-year-old Shaneka Thompson in the stomach Saturday before going to New York to kill two cops. The NY Post reports: The ex-girlfriend of the gunman who fatally ambushed two NYPD cops after shooting her in the stomach banged on a neighbor’s door, yelling, “I can’t die like this! Please help me!” Shaneka Thompson, 29, the only survivor of Ismaaiyl Brinsley’s murderous rampage, pleaded for help from Yevette Seay, who saw the bloodied victim through her peephole and called 911. “I told her to hang in there. I was afraid to ask her too many questions because she was hysterical,” Seay told the Associated Press. Thompson, an Air Force reservist of Owings Mills, Md., was in critical condition at the University of Maryland Medical Center. “She’s not in any danger anymore,” her granddad, James Delly, told The Post. “Hopefully, she will make a full recovery.” Brinsley shot Thompson about 5:45 a.m. Saturday after entering her home with a key he wasn’t supposed to have, the Wall Street Journal reported. He then fled with her cellphone to New York City, where he executed NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in what investigators believe was a bid to avenge the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. Seay said she had heard her neighbors fight before, but that she got out of bed Saturday morning because of the screaming. “I could hear something going on and it wasn’t pleasant. Then I heard some screaming, then she went out onto her balcony and screamed for help,” Seay said. Thompson yelled: “He shot me! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die.” Seay said Thompson pleaded for her to open her door, but she kept it closed because she didn’t know what was happening. Cops arrived about seven minutes after her 911 call, she said. Brinsley called Thompson’s mother about 6 a.m. to say the shooting was accidental and that he hoped she would recover, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said. Poor girl. Here’s to hoping she has a full recovery! Instagram

Poor Apollo …sike! Phaedra Parks Says She’s Divorcing Apollo Nida Even though he was seen on the last episode of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” trying his damnedest to kiss on and cuddled up to his wife Phaedra Parks, Apollo Nida will be a single man when he’s released from jail. US Magazine reports: Phaedra Parks is moving on. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, Dec. 21, that she and her estranged, incarcerated husband Apollo Nida are ending their marriage. Parks caught up with host Andy Cohen on WWHL following Sunday’s tense new episode of RHOA. In the latest installment of the Bravo reality show, Nida is shown canoodling his not-too-receptive wife and attempting to get back into her good graces after being convicted of fraud. The Atlanta-based attorney told Cohen that Nida’s efforts were in vain. He is currently serving an eight-year sentence at prison in Kentucky, and by the time he is released, he will likely be divorced. “Well, we’re amicably resolving this marriage,” she said as she nodded and pulled a knowing face. “We’re resolving this marriage… resolving to dissolve, yes.” Phaedra also denied reports that she’s keeping her two young sons away from their father. As Parks and Nida move toward parting ways, the outspoken star and her two young sons have been in contact with the jailed Nida. Before reporting to prison, he became a father for the second time when Parks gave birth to son Dylan, 19 months. The embattled couple also has an older son Ayden, 4. “I talk to him at least, if not five, six times a week, if not more,” Parks said of Nida, adding that the kids are “definitely in contact” with their father. So long shady sucka! Can you really blame ATTORNEY Phaedra Parks for wanting to distance herself from her shady stealing felon bae??? Continue reading →
Not again !! Baptist Church Vandalized By KKK After Racist Deputy’s Comments Via USA Today reports: Members of Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church in Wakulla County arrived for choir practice Wednesday night to find “KKK” spray-painted on the side of their church. It is the third predominantly black church in the rural county this week that has been vandalized with racial remarks, sparking an FBI investigation into what appear to be hate crimes. Along with two churches on Sunday, a truck at Wildwood Golf Course was also painted with “KKK.” Investigators believe the most recent vandalism happened Wednesday afternoon. Federal officers are working with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office investigating the crimes. Mount Olive is just minutes from New Bridge Hope Missionary Baptist Church and Pilgrim Rest Primitive Baptist Church, which were vandalized on Sunday. Several street signs also had “KKK” painted on them. Wakulla County NAACP Organizing Committee President Anginita Rosier said the racially charged vandalism has shocked the community, both white and black. “The whole community is in shock right now that we still have these things occurring,” she said as a member of the church painted over the letters. But the unity of the community has been reassuring. “If there’s a positive out of this negative behavior it’s really bound the citizens of this county together,” Rosier said. “It’s affected everyone to the point that everyone is anxious to see someone held accountable for these crimes.” Wakulla County Sheriff Charlie Creel said investigators cleared a suspect in Sunday’s vandalism on Wednesday, but would be pursuing three more on Thursday. The sheriff’s office had offered a $5,000 for information leading to an arrest. FBI and county investigators were on scene Wednesday night taking paint samples from the street signs and pouring plaster tire molds in a field behind the church. Creel said he is concerned by the rash of apparent hate crimes in the county, but doesn’t think it indicates a coordinated effort. “I don’t think this is an active group that the community’s got to be concerned about,” Creel said, but is instead the work of individuals looking to “stir stuff up.” “They’re cowards hiding behind a spray can,” he said. Dale Landry, vice president of the Florida State Conference of the NAACP, said the problem lies only in a few bold individuals. “We’ve got a problem in Wakulla, but I think Wakulla is rising to the occasion to deal with it,” Landry said. “I want to see (racism) disappear in my lifetime. What we’ve got to do is start working at it and combating it and exposing it.” Mount Olive Pastor Samuel Hayes said he is not deterred from leading a healing in the midst of the racial outbursts. “Any means for harm, God turns into good,” said Hayes, who has been pastor at Mount Olive for 22 years. “This is going to bring us together. I’ve run across so many wonderful people in this county. We’re a family.” The community will hold a prayer vigil on Thursday at New Bridge Hope, the venue of a contentious Nov. 28 town hall meeting following the suspension of five Wakulla County deputies over racially charged online comments. A $5,000 reward had been offered for information leading to the arrest of individuals responsible for the incident. Anyone with knowledge about the crime was urged to call the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office. Please come forth with any information! Continue reading →

SMH! Two NYPD Cops Murdered Execution Style In Brooklyn A Maryland man with ties to Atlanta and New York went on a shooting rampage on December 20 — first shooting his girlfriend in Baltimore, then traveling to Brooklyn to kill two police officers, citing recent incidents of police violence as reason for his actions. Via NYpost : Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead Saturday afternoon as they sat in their marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner — in what investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s assassination-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown. “No warning, no provocation — they were quite simply assassinated, targeted for their uniform,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said. Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill in Bedford-Stuyvesant just before 3 p.m. when they were shot point-blank in the head by lone gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, who had addresses in Georgia, Maryland and Brooklyn. Moments after killing the two officers, Brinsley, too, was dead, having turned his gun on himself on a nearby subway platform as cops closed in. Liu, 32, a newlywed of only two months, had seven years on the force; Ramos, 40, dad to two sons, had two years on the job. Brinsley was already a fugitive, suspected of putting a bullet in his ex-girlfriend’s abdomen at her residence in Baltimore at 5:45 a.m. Saturday, Bratton said. By early Saturday afternoon — just three hours before shooting Liu and Ramos — vile anti-police threats were posted to Brinsley’s Instagram page. The threats referenced the recent police-involved killings of Garner and Brown. This is insane. Hit the flip to see his threatening Instagram posts and the rest of this tragic story…
