Cry Me A Muhfuggin’ River: Atlanta Area School Teacher Who Wrote Slavery Math Homework Apologizes

Oh, NOW you want to apologize wit yo’ punk a$$… The suburban Atlanta teacher who resigned after an investigation found students were given math homework with word problems about slavery has apologized. Former Beaver Ridge Elementary School teacher Luis Rivera said some of the questions he wrote were in “poor taste,” according to a report Thursday in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In a statement to Gwinnett County school officials, obtained by the Atlanta newspaper, Rivera said he did not write the homework to be malicious or offensive. “I wrote poorly written questions in an attempt to enhance student achievement. I have brought shame to my family, and my school. For that, I cannot apologize enough,” he said. One math problem read: “Each tree has 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?” Another was: “If Frederick got two beatings each day, how many beatings did he get in one week?” Rivera resigned from his $39,170-a-year job on Jan. 13. As a hispanic man that has surely faced racism and discrimination in America, how could you even fix your fingers to write some bullisht homework like this?! Kick rocks with flip-flops sucka, hope you choke on your Goya beans. Yeah, it’s not so cool when the joke is on the other foot is it? SMH Do you accept this a$$hole’s apology?? Source More On Bossip!

Tweet Of The Day: The One Positive Thing To Come Out Of All That “BMF Wives” Foolery

Some of y’all may have missed this in the midst of being flabbergasted that, not only would someone think a “BMF Wives” show was a good look, but that some else would fight them for the rights to put this ratchery on TV and that they would all attempt to do this without Big Meech’s approval . Oh, and that Erica Mena was somehow involved . While we were focusing on all of those things, Big Meech’s mom said something that ALL of these young girls hoping to become famous by any means necessary should remember. Thank you, Lady Flen. Put these young chicks on.

Life Imitates Art: Omar Little Is Arrested In Baltimore This Weekend On A Gun Charge!

Wait, what?!?! Over the weekend, the arrest of a 19-year-old man on a handgun charge caught my eye. His name? Omar Little. That of course is the name of the iconic stick-up man from “The Wire,” a show that was based heavily on real people and events from Baltimore’s crime history. Though the Omar character was said to be based on several people – Shorty Boyd, Donnie Andrews, Ferdinand Harvin, Billy Outlaw and Anthony Hollie – none of them were actually named “Omar Little.” I reached out to the show creator and former Sun reporter David Simon to see whether there was, in fact, an Omar Little who Simon or his writing partners had come across and used as the namesake for the character. Simon replied that the existence of a real life Omar Little was “coincidence, completely.” Fans of the show, however, seemed to delight in the news that there was actually someone in Baltimore with that name, allegedly committing gun crimes, no less. The Wire’s Omar was a Robin Hood of the inner city, a shotgun-toting “man with a code” who President Barack Obama said was his favorite character. My tweet about his arrest have been “re-tweeted” hundreds of times and led to stories on blogs such as The Huffington Post and The Daily What, and then today on BuzzFeed and The Onion’s AV Club. The full name of the man arrested over the weekend is Omar Little Jr., and records show Omar Little Sr. has a record including several drug arrests from the 1990s. The arrest of the younger man, who is 19, is his first, but he’s being held on $350,000 bond because it’s a gun crime. Attempts to reach both men were unsuccessful, and police so far haven’t been able to get me a copy of the police report. Here is a picture of the “real” Omar Little that was arrested He looks like one of those dirty lil’ ninjas that could have been on The Wire though… Source More On Bossip!

More Deion & Pilar Sanders Divorce Drama: Couple Will Remain Living Together Because Pilar Refuses To Bounce!!

Damn, Pilar Sanders is like eff the dumb ish, I’m staying in this house and there’s no a goshdarn thing Deion can do about it!! Via TMZ: Deion Sanders and his wife Pilar have made a shocking decision — they will continue to live under the same roof, even though their divorce war has become epic. But here’s how rich folk do it … The house is 29,122 square feet, with 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. In case they want to swim, one will get the indoor pool, the other will swim outdoors. And to avoid those awkward moments when they might run into each other while taking a stroll, they can roam separately on the 109 acre estate. Truth be told … Deion probably still wants Pilar out, but we’re told she has no plans to move. SMH. We ain’t even mad at her…

When Even Jesus Can’t Make The Checks Come In Like They Used To: Ma$e Has Been Ducking The Same Bill For Almost 7 Years

Apparently, Ma$e has been ducking a five-figure jewelry bill since 2005. And TMZ reports , now he’s using all type of sneaky tactics instead of just sacrificing some of his current perks and paying for that comeback that never happened. Mase has been fighting an ongoing legal battle with Aydin and Company, a jeweler in Atlanta, since the summer. According to legal docs filed in Georgia, they claim Mase owes them $35,000 dating alllllll the way back to 2005. According to court filings, the jewelers haven’t been able to serve Mase with legal papers after trying multiple times at his Georgia home — each time being turned away by staff who say he isn’t there. They claim he’s been ducking them for months and they had a process server file an affidavit in the case … stating Mase is “evading service.” For his part, Mase filed papers asking for the suit to be dismissed … claiming improper service and the fact that he never signed the “alleged contract at issue in case.” The jewelers want their money, attorneys fees and 1.5% interest per month on the money he owes. You notice he’s not saying he didn’t use the jewels, right? That doesn’t seem like the minister-ly thing to do.

Jesus Take The Multiple Desserts: The Super Chubby Lumpkins Swirlin’ Jawn Says She Smoked Crack To Lose Weight After Her Black Mandingo Left Her Lonely!!

Hold up, waaaaaaaait!! For years, the 44-year-old mother of two was a star in the fantasy fetish community that worshipped the overweight and the feeding that led to it. Simpson had a website where men paid $19 a month to watch her eat. She flew around the world for various events. And she became famous in the British papers. But as the year winds to a close, Simpson has moved on. She left New Jersey earlier this year after her romantic relationship with a man ended and returned to her hometown of Akron. She has turned away from the fantasy world, replacing her pre-recorded videos of her with a blog about her journey to health. She already has lost about 85 pounds, and she hopes to join a gym soon to begin walking in a pool. She has modified her eating, as well. “I realized that I was their fantasy,” she said. “Here I was getting bigger and bigger, and they had their thin wives, with 2 1/2 kids and a picket fence.” Being that she is 600 lbs. Simpson doesn’t believe that she will ever be a Victoria’s Secret model, but she did go through some pretty dramatic model-esque lengths to lose weight… “I’m not trying to be a size 4,” she said. “I’m not trying to be a thin-mint. I just want to be normal and more active.” She has struggled to lose weight for years. She weighed about 200 pounds when she attended Springfield High School in Summit County. Simpson often ate an apple a day along with a weight-loss drink. She said she even smoked crack cocaine for a few months several years ago in an attempt to shed pounds, though she says she didn’t become addicted. “All it did was make me clean my house really, really fast,” she said. LMMFAO!! Who the hell says: “To hell with Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers, pass me the pipe and a couple rocks!”??? Fellas, would ANY of you hit this??? Source More On Bossip!

You Can’t Be Serious: Sneakerheads Catch Fade Nationwide At The Release Of The Retro Air Jordan 11′s!! [PICS]

Ninjas boy…SMH A shouting match erupted outside the Staten Island Mall around 10:30 p.m. Thursday between two men waiting for shoes, police said. Shoppers started lining up behind police barricades around 9 a.m. and about 1,000 had amassed by 10 p.m. Mayhem broke out when Vincenzo Gavrity, 19, “squared up” to another man baring his fists, screaming and cursing, police said. The second man piped down when cops moved in, but police say it took several officers to restrain the flailing Gavrity. “F–k you, I’m getting my shoes,” said Gavrity, whose jacket blew off in the dust up as he attempted to avoid handcuffs, according to the criminal complaint. Gavrity was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration. In another incident… Police pepper-sprayed about 20 people in Tukwila, Wash., after a fight broke out in the line for the new shoes, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported. Police said the incident began after more than 1,000 people began lining up around midnight to get a chance at purchasing the Air Jordan XI Retro Concords, which retail for $180 a pop.
