Is this cultural preservation or a means for maintaining apartheid? Apartheid Is Over But Orania Is A South African Town Where Blacks Still Aren’t Welcome We had a tough time getting the Yahoo video to work, but we did find an older YouTube video which we posted above. Via Yahoo Travel: Twenty years after Apartheid ended in South Africa, there still exists a small town called Orania, home to about 1000 cultural Afrikaners, where black people are not welcome. This sounds really — shady. The video is way too short to make a full determination that something racist is going on but we don’t really understand why the Afrikaners can’t just create a cultural preservation club or something. Why do they have to completely shut other races out? Shutterstock
What happened to all that begging though?? Robin Thicke Throws Himself A Divorce Party Robin Thicke exhausted all his energy begging Paula Patton to take him back to no avail. Now, with his ex-wife wiping her hands of their relationship and finally moving on , the singer has no choice but to embrace the bachelor life (even more than he did while he was married). Via PageSix : Robin Thicke threw himself a big old divorce party on Friday, complete with a harem of models and Leo DiCaprio, Page Six has exclusively learned. After Thicke’s wife Paula Patton officially filed for divorce on Oct. 3, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and then moved her new boyfriend Zak Waters into her Calabasas house, the “Blurred Lines” singer threw himself one hell of a consolation party at his pad in LA Friday night. Thicke started at nightclub Hyde, then invited a select group including a host of models and attractive women back to his house in the Hollywood Hills. Once there, they were met by DiCaprio, “The Dark Knight Rises” star Tom Hardy and “Into the Wild” actor Emile Hirsch. A source tells us, “There were a lot of models there. Leo and Robin were being super flirtatious and talking to tons of girls. Robin, in particular, was dancing and talking to a pretty brunette throughout most of the night. At one point, he grabbed a girl’s hand and was like, ‘Let’s dance’ . . . he was in great spirits, and put on a mix of music including pop, hip-hop, older stuff from the ’90s and soul. Everyone was dancing until past 3 a.m.” Thicke’s rep didn’t immediately get back to us. Meanwhile, Patton, who is seeking joint custody of their 4-year-old son, was spotted out and about in New York on Tuesday. Well…if you apologize, and cry, and beg, and plead…and it STILL doesn’t work out, what can you do? Turn up, apparently. How much do you want to bet that he burst into tears as soon as everyone left, though?
Damn, Khloe…first alcohol now meds? Khloe Kardashian On Antidepressants Via RadarOnline : Khloe Kardashian lived the high life while with her now ex-boyfriend, French Montana, but those bright times have since turned dark. “All she and French did was party and drink, and it’s starting to catch up with her,” a friend reveals in the new issue of Star. “Now the relationship is over, and she feels fat, ugly, and alone. Plus, she’s got her divorce from Lamar [Odom] still looming over her head.” And spending time with her brother, Rob Kardashian, who is “even more depressed” than Khloe isn’t helping, points out the source. To deal with her issues, the magazine says 30-year-old Khloe has turned to some little pals in pill form. “Khloe is taking antidepressants all the time to cope with her pain,” says the source. But the Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality star should be dealing with her issues differently. Says the source, “Khloe needs to cut the dead weight from her circle — not pop pills.” These Kardashian kids stay going through it! Hopefully Khloe can find happiness somehow…
Breezy’s got a message for all the “haters”… Chris Brown Responds To Ebola Tweet Backlash Chris Brown thinks Ebola is a form of population control, and he doesn’t care what you have to say about it! After his mentions were reduced to shambles over tweets about the Ebola epidemic. Well he has a special response for anyone who has a problem with what was said: Y’all better let that man have his silly conspiracy theories! And in case you weren’t clear what he meant by his “Little Asian girl voice,” surprisingly, it has nothing to do with Karreuche. He included the Vine clip that provided the inspiration for this special “eff-off” to people calling his tweet ignorant and insensitive…
Wow…the NURSE got the treatment the original patient couldn’t? Texas Nurse Treated For Ebola This will certainly re-spark some rumors of unfair treatment by the Dallas Hospital at which Thomas Eric Duncan was treated. One nurse who helped care for him and actually contracted the disease was able to get a treatment that may save her life — which wasn’t a viable cure for Duncan. Via MailOnline : The Texan nurse diagnosed with Ebola has received a blood transfusion from survivor Dr Kent Brantly, reports claim. It is the third time Dr Brantly has donated blood to Ebola victims after medics discovered he had the same blood type as previous patient Dr Nick Sacra and NBC cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, who is still being treated. Incredibly, nurse Nina Pham, 26, has also matched with Brantly and today received a transfusion of his blood in a move that doctors believe could save her life. Pham has been in quarantine since Friday after catching the disease from ‘patient zero’ Thomas Eric Duncan – the man who brought the deadly virus to America. Brantly is believed to have traveled to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, where Pham worked, to make the donation on Sunday night. Today, Pham’s condition was described as ‘clinically stable’. Those who have survived Ebola have antibodies in their blood which can help new sufferers beat the disease. Dr Kent Brantly was flown back from Liberia to the U.S. after contracting Ebola during his missionary work for Samaritan’s Purse. He survived after receiving a dose of the experimental serum Z-Mapp and round-the-clock care at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. On September 10, Dr Brantly donated blood to a fellow doctor, Dr Rick Sacra, who also contracted Ebola during his work in West Africa and survived the disease. Last Tuesday, he was on a road trip from Indiana to Texas when he received a call from Ashoka Mukpo’s medical center in Nebraska telling him his blood type matched Mukpo’s. He also offered his blood to Thomas Eric Duncan but their blood types didn’t match. Within minutes, he stopped off at the Community Blood Center in Kansas City, Missouri, and his donation was flown to Omaha. Pham was diagnosed after admitting herself to hospital on Friday when her temperature spiked – one of the first symptoms of the deadly virus. It’s wonderful that she was able to be treated…but if this kind of revolutionary care can’t treat everyone, what other solutions are on board to cure the virus? Facebook

You go Professor West ! Cornel West Arrested In Ferguson For Protesting Via HuffPo reports: Author and activist Cornel West was arrested while demonstrating in Ferguson, Missouri , on Monday. West was in Ferguson as part of the “Ferguson October” rally, which has been attended by over 1,000 protesters. Journalists in Ferguson tweeted photos of the incident Monday afternoon. West had joined peaceful demonstrations at St. Louis University on Sunday night. Hours earlier, during a large mass protest service, West said that he came to get arrested. “It’s a beautiful thing to see people on fire for justice, but I didn’t come here to give a speech,” West said during a discussion on Sunday night. “I came here to go to jail.” It is so clear now more then ever, Ferguson is only the “tip of the iceberg.” Policing all over the United States is out of control. Police departments have devolved into little more than well-armed gangs out to terrorize the people and shake them down. Black lives matter!
