Rudy Giuliani Criticizes President Obama For Not Coming Home After Brussels Attacks According to the DailyMail , the GOP has their geriatric panties in a bunch over the fact that the President didn’t haul a$$ back to The White House after news broke that Brussels had been bombed by ISIS. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ripped into President Barack Obama for attending a baseball game in Cuba yesterday afternoon instead of jumping on his plane and coming home after the Brussels attacks. ‘You don’t send a picture of yourself laughing while people have just been blown up at a level that…is the equivalent of September 11 to our allies,’ said Giuliani, mayor of New York at the time of deadly 20001 terrorist attacks. Republicans are criticizing Obama for staying in Cuba in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Belgium and going about his day as planned. Salty Republicans throwin’ shade on Barry until the very last hour. Smh. Image via The White House/Pete Souza
Robert Johnson Continues To Defend Zoe Saldana’s Portrayal Of Nina Simone A couple weeks ago, we reported that BET founder Bob Johnson had hopped in the phone booth and donned his cape for Zoe Saldana’s inflammatory portrayal of Nina Simone. In speaking to The Hollywood Reporter , the film’s executive producer continues to try to convince black people that they should support this garbage… Two weeks after the trailer for Nina hit the Internet and caused an outcry over Zoe Saldana’s heavily altered appearance as Nina Simone, the film’s distributor is speaking to reporters in defense of the project. Critics of Nina, a biopic from U.K.-based Ealing Studios Entertainment, have protested the casting of Saldana, a light-skinned actress of Afro-Latina descent, to portray the legendary high priestess of soul, claiming that Simone’s physical appearance as a dark-skinned black woman had a major impact on her life and career. “It’s unfortunate that African-Americans are talking about this in a way that hearkens back to how we were treated when we were slaves,” says RLJ Entertainment founder and chair Robert L. Johnson, who also founded BET. “The slave masters separated light-skinned blacks from dark-skinned blacks, and some of that social DNA still exists today among many black people.” *eye-roll emoji* Now, in his one-on-one interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Johnson cites arguments against Saldana’s skin tone as akin to in-group discriminatory practices like the brown paper bag test, wherein certain black community gatherings would only admit individuals whose skin was lighter than the bag. “That’s where some of this comes from, when you hear people saying that a light-skinned woman can’t play a dark-skinned woman when they’re both clearly of African descent,” he says. “To say that if I’m gonna cast a movie, I’ve gotta hold a brown paper bag up to the actresses and say, ‘Oh sorry, you can’t play her.’ Who’s to decide when you’re black enough?” Johnson clearly is passionate about the subject and had plenty more to say regarding the backlash. “As an African-American, I will gladly engage anyone on this question of should we be talking about how light or how dark you should be to play a role,” he says. “Many people who are talking about it don’t even realize what they’re getting into. Imagine if I were to do a biopic about Lena Horne, who’s obviously light-skinned, or Dorothy Dandridge. Would it be fair if I put up a sign that said ‘No black women apply’? That would be ridiculous. Black Americans should know better than to have this discussion over a creative project. We’re not talking about white against black. We’re talking about black against black.” This fool goes on to say… “Make the judgment on the talent of the actors, make the judgment on the writing, but don’t make it on whether or not Zoe Saldana is as black as Nina. You can always say, ‘Gee, I can find somebody who’s blacker,’” Johnson says. “Let’s talk about [the film] in terms of giving talented African-Americans a chance to play roles that they’re qualified to play.” Clearly Bobby Boy missed the ENTIRE point. If Zoe was gonna play a lighter-skinned, thinner-nosed version of Nina Simone, then cool. BUT DON’T DARKEN HER F***IN’ SKIN AND PUT A FAKE NOSE ON HER AND THEN PREACH TO US ABOUT WHO IS ENTITLED TO PLAY WHO!
Skip to the 2:00 mark to avoid the rest of this babbling mess We wish these fools would just be real and stop substituting “thug” for the word they REALLY want to use. *Insert eye-roll emoji here* CBS News
Omarosa on Violence at Trump Rallies: ‘You Get What’s Coming to You’ What do you expect from a coon-azz Donald Trump supporter? Donald Trump supporter Omarosa appeared on MSNBC tonight and engaged in a lot of excuse-making for the violence at Trump’s rallies, literally saying, “You get what’s coming to you.” Chris Matthews repeatedly confronted her and Omarosa said Trump can’t be responsible for every person who engages in violence at his events. She did, however, say, “You have a right to get into a closed, private event, and you get what’s coming to you. I do not condone violence, but if you go into an environment where you’re interrupting 13, 14 times, you do expect a hug or kumbaya?” Matthews pointed out he’s egged it on a few times. Omarosa’s actual, real response was, “He’s a New Yorker, what do you want him to say?… He’s not gonna be pushed around, Chris.”
2 Live Crew’s Uncle Luke Announces Support For Donald Trump’s Presidency Literally 9 days ago, Uncle Tom Luke was condemning Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric in an article he wrote in the MiamiTimes . Trump, on the other hand, has ratcheted up the Tea Party rhetoric. He shrewdly co-opted the party’s slogan, “Take America Back,” for his “Make America Great Again.” Last weekend, he refused to condemn former KKK grand wizard David Duke for endorsing his candidacy. On Twitter, he later offered a lame apology: “As I stated at the press conference on Friday regarding David Duke – I disavow.” Trump believes his tweets fly right over the heads of uneducated white people who are about that Klan life. He’ll just accuse the media of reverse racism. And it’s working. I don’t see how Trump will beat Hillary Clinton in a general election. But if he were to win the presidency, he would not last more than a year in the White House. The establishment Republicans and the Democrats in Congress would find a way to impeach his ass. Today, on CNN, Uncle Tom Luke gave the same racist his support for President of the United States of America. . @unclelukereal1 recalls partying with Donald Trump: “I remember him being a cool guy” https://t.co/Syw4ZVotVC https://t.co/Fi9Nv2Uiaf — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) March 10, 2016 Did I just see Uncle Luke endorse Trump???

San Antonio Santa Denies Special Needs Child A Seat On His Lap Damn, Santa . What part of the yuletide game is THIS?!? SMFH. Via KENS5 The family of a 13-month-old baby with a genetic brain and muscle disorder has received a formal apology from Bass Pro Shops, days after the family said Santa Claus refused to be photographed with the child on his lap. The incident happened Friday afternoon at Bass Pro Shops in northwest San Antonio. Megan Self told KENS 5 she unhooked her son Caleb from his breathing apparatus and other medical equipment, after waiting in line for a free picture with Santa Claus. Self said Santa stood up, took one photo with Caleb, then quickly handed off the child, who has been diagnosed with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Stood up???? That’s janky as HELL! According to Self, Caleb has been hospitalized 11 times since March. Despite his repeated medical setbacks, Caleb’s family wanted him to experience sitting on Santa’s lap. “We were trying to work with them so we can get that memory, get the picture of him on his lap and everything,” added Self. So f***ing sad. A spokesman for Bass Pro Shops said via telephone Monday “this is not something we feel great about”. The spokesman added Santa Claus, his elves and store employees taking part in the free picture promotion go through sensitivity training before each holiday season. Isn’t it kinda a prerequisite that Santa and his elves already be “sensitive”? Isn’t that their whole reason for existing? To make kids happy and feel special??? Furthermore, wouldn’t it be safer to have the child on his lap rather than standing up and increasing the chance that he drop him??? What an azzhole this Santa is. FOH fat man!

Mother Of Murdered 9-Year-Old Tyshawn Lee Reportedly Used Donations For Trip To Vegas First Tyshawn Lee’s mother may have used the thousands she received in donations to bury her murdered nine-year-old son to buy a new car . Now it appears that she may have also used part of the funds to fly out to Las Vegas. According to Fox Chicago 32 reporter Anita Padilla, Karla Lee didn’t even wait 24 hours after her son’s funeral before jetting off to Sin City. Via Padilla’s Facebook : What would you say if I told you that the mother of a murdered boy left town for Las Vegas on the evening of her son’s funeral? That’s the news I am trying to develop this morning for Good Day Chicago. TWO very good sources tell me Karla Lee (Tyshawn Lee’s mother) has left town. One of the sources says she left on Tuesday night –THE VERY NIGHT OF HER SON’S FUNERAL–and SHE FLEW TO LAS VEGAS. Her family is said to be incensed. Keep in mind, this is the same Karla Lee who took a hit on social media over the weekend when she was criticized for using GOFUNDME money to buy a brand new car. She adamantly denied using the money from the fund…but said it was money she saved up beforehand. She said she needed a car for her protection because walking and taking the bus just wasn’t safe for her. (( In all fairness, Karla Lee’s cell phone is a Las Vegas phone number)) Everyone grieves differently, but damn. This isn’t looking too good. SMH.
