Black People to Alec Baldwin: Shut the Eff Up, Dude!

Alec Baldwin is taking some heat for saying something kind of dumb to The Hollywood Reporter. Okay, actually: Alec Baldwin is taking A LOT of heat for saying something VERY dumb to The Hollywood Reporter. The actor is featured on the latest cover of this publication, touching on nearly every topic of his personal and professional life in the feature story. But it’s one story he tells in particular, along with his reaction to that story, that has nearly all of Twitter rolling its collective eyes. At one point while speaking to Baldwin, writer Lacey Rose says that an African-American man named Tyrone approaches Baldwin and compliments him for his role of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. Writes Rose of the encounter: “Though he’s waving and pointing and causing something of a scene, the often-irritable Baldwin doesn’t mind a bit. “In fact, he calls Tyrone over and the two begin cracking each other up. It’s hard to tell who’s enjoying the other more.” Baldwin says this sort of interaction happens “incessantly” these days, elaborating in annoying detail: I don’t know how to say this and I don’t want to get it wrong either, because everything is a minefield of bombs going off, but ever since I played Trump, black people love me. They love me. Everywhere I go, black people go crazy. I think it’s because they’re most afraid of Trump. I’m not going to paint every African-American person with the same brush, but a significant number of them are sitting there going, ‘This is going to be bad for black folks.'” Almost as soon after the article was published online Wednesday, Baldwin was met with major backlash on Twitter. He may not have wanted to paint every African-American with the same brush — but then maybe he should have tried not doing exactly that. Alec Baldwin needs to stop talking for black people , reads one tweet, while another agrees: When liberal white men get too comfortable

Calm Down: White Celebrities Who Think Black People Looove Them

View post:

Source: Eugene Gologursky / Getty Every now and then, a White person comes along that the Black delegation will usher in as honorary brethren. This person can be referred to as someone “invited to the cookout,” an “honorary brother/sister,” or a White person who “gets a pass.” However, when these non-melinated phenomenons happen, it’s important to remember two things. First off, the Black delegation is always changing and multifaceted depending on where you live, who you hang out with and the things you’re into. Secondly, there’s a difference between Black people “loving” a White person and “loooving” a White person. Loving a White person usually means you love their style, their music or some aspect about their personality (see: Justin Timberlake , Robin Thicke ), but you’re still able to hold them accountable when they fall short on topics like racism, the nuances of the N-word (don’t say it!), or how they season their potato salad. In contrast, loooving a White person is a borderline toxic form of love where you’ll let a White person get away with almost anything because they’re so “hip,” “cool,” or overall talented. White people make a huge mistake when they think Black people looove them. Alec Baldwin recently made this mistake in an interview with   The Hollywood Reporter  when he said, “Ever since I played Trump, Black people love me. They love me. Everywhere I go, Black people go crazy. I think it’s because they’re most afraid of Trump.” No, no, no Baldwin. First off, to my earlier point, these Black people who “love” you might be of a different delegation than other Black delegations. To be frank, I can’t think of an entire time in my life when Alec Baldwin came up in a conversation amongst Black friends. Many on Black Twitter seemed to agree: i for real don't think i've ever talked to another black person about alec baldwin. https://t.co/b6UC5LeMoR — Spooky Bread Terry (@SlimiHendrix) October 10, 2018 We had one of our big Black bar-b-ques in Wakanda last night, and we couldn't stop talking about how much we Blacks just loves us some Alec Baldwin https://t.co/hoxuRYzMg9 — Tariq Nasheed (@tariqnasheed) October 10, 2018 Its been hours and I'm still unsure of where to begin the list of ways Alec Baldwin got us fucked up. https://t.co/8ZCPcQ62Y0 — Sylvia Obell (@SylviaObell) October 10, 2018 To my second point, just because there’s Black people who “love” Alec Baldwin doesn’t mean they “looove” Alec Baldwin. Will these Black people put their neck on the line for Alec Baldwin if he messes up? I’ll wait.   At the end of the day, White people should just refrain from saying Black people “love” them, even if that White person has contributed something of value to a Black person’s life. On top of this, White people should never assume that just because Black people support them, it gives them the right to say or do whatever they want in regards to a whole community. Alec Baldwin isn’t the first White person to be feeling himself a little too much. Hit the next pages to check out other White folks who need to calm down before they start speaking for an entire community.

Chaos Erupts At Lil Wayne’s Concert Set During A3C Festival Closing Night

NEW ORLEANS, LA – AUGUST 25: Lil Wayne performs during Lil WeezyAna at Champions Square on August 25, 2018 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Erika Goldring/Getty Images) Panicked Crowds Stampede At Lil Wayne A3C Show Despite all the amazing “you had to be there” moments and snackalicious honeys strutting around the A3C festival this past weekend…closing night was marred by a pretty dark cloud on what should have been a momentous occasion. Lil Wayne was finally free to release and perform some brand new music in the ATL, and fans packed out the Georgia Freight Depot to catch his performance. However, 3 songs in, some sort of disturbance spooked members of the crowd and caused an avalanche effect of panicked concertgoers fleeing the scene. A3C LIL WAYNE CONCERT SHOOTOUT. pic.twitter.com/WAaOA2U6P4 — Keats the Geek (@KeatsTheGeek) October 8, 2018 Several of our own staffers were on the scene, and also suffered minor cuts and bruises while trying to get to safety. All in all, Ataltna Police Department reports that about 12 people had to be treated for minor injuries, largely related to getting knocked around, stepped on, or bruised/scratched during the melee. Initial reports from the grounds pegged the source of the stampede as a shootout in the crowd. However, APD confirms that no weapons were fired nor gunshot wounds inflicted on the scene. There seems to have been some confusion surrounding a small patch of fisticuffs during the show. SMH! Sad that the festivities had to end this way. With so many tragic incidents surrounding concerts and music festivals as of late, it’s no surprise that people were on edge in this situation. Erika Goldring/Getty Images

WELP: Khloe Kardashian Says She’s Facing Too Many Trust Issues To Move To Cleveland With Tristan This Season

Photographer Group / Splash News Khloe Kardashian Cancels Move To Cleveland With Tristan Thompson Khloe Kardashian has been trying her damnedest to make it work with her boyfriend (when he feels faithful) Tristan Thompson for the sake of their 5-month-old daughter True Thompson…but the bounce back from infidelity isn’t going as smoothly as either of them anticipated. If you’ll recall, Khloe revealed plans to move back to Cleveland with her dirty doggin’ boo to keep an eye on him during the upcoming NBA season. But apparently, Khloe backed out of the big move at the last minute…we’re going to go ahead and guess that the recent rumors swirling around Tristan’s extracurricular activities at training camp and out at the club might have put a damper on her momentum to relocate to Ohio. As a source tells E! News : “Khloe had everything planned to leave for Cleveland early last week, and decided not to go. She doesn’t feel comfortable to leave her home and family in L.A. and head back to her life in Cleveland right now. She isn’t ready to go.” But according to another source, she simply can’t shake the feeling that Tristan isn’t done smashing randoms out here and just may make a whole fool of her once again: “Khloe has had many ups and downs lately with Tristan. Her and Tristan are not in the best place currently. Khloe wants to work things out for the sake of True, but it has been very difficult recently. She has huge trust issues that she has not overcome, and it’s definitely caused a rift. Khloe thought things would blow over, but she still has insecurities deep down.” And to top it all off, her family isn’t exactly rocking with her choice to continue riding the wave with her unfaithful baby daddy…but they do their best to bite their tongues. “In addition to her own insecurities about Tristan’s infidelity, Khloe is continuing to struggle with her family’s thoughts of Tristan as most of them haven’t forgiven him for cheating, even though they are trying to support Khloe’s decision to be with him. Everyone in the family ultimately wants what’s best for True, but they’re wary that Tristan will cheat again, and they hate seeing how this is effecting Khloe.” SMH. It seems that Khloe might be holding on to dust with this relationship. We get “making it work for the kid,” but in this case, the kid doesn’t even know where her nose is yet. It may be her best bet to go ahead and cut her losses now… SplashNews

Andrew Gillum Suspending Campaign Activity But For All The Right Reasons

A ndrew Gillum  made history as the first Black American to win a major party nomination for governor in Florida. It was a huge upset and now the mayor of Tallahassee, Florida is tightening the race against his Republican opponent Ron DeSantis. However, Gillum is temporarily suspending his campaign activity—but don’t fret, it’s for all the right reasons. See Also: President Donald Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims Could Lead To More Voter Suppression CNN.com reports that due to Tropical Storm Michael in Florida, “Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum announced Sunday he will be leaving the campaign trail briefly to address storm preparations. The forecast projects Tallahassee, where Gillum is mayor, will be directly hit.” Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency on October 7. The election is on November 6 and things are looking promising for Gillum to make history. A Sept. 28-30 P ublic Policy Polling (PPP) showed Gillum up by 4 points over DeSantis. Quinnipiac University poll had Gillum out-polling DeSantis by 9 points. However, we all know how polls can be wrong, let’s not forget the polls that convinced people Hillary Clinton would win. The state deadline to register to vote in Florida is tomorrow. If you, your friends, or family members aren’t registered, do it now, especially if you are outraged by the Stand Your Ground laws. In the Democratic primary, Gillum was the first candidate to come out against Stand Your Ground,  calling for Florida Gov.  Rick Scott  to suspend the law, which he never did. There is a lot riding on this election, so as Gillum says, “Bring it home!” SEE ALSO: Meet Jogger Joe, The Man Who Took Racist Cue From BBQ Becky In Tossing Homeless Man’s Clothes Trump-Supporting DA Calls ‘Ghetto’ Maxine Waters A ‘Bitch,’ Can’t Believe She Hasn’t Been Shot This Colin Kaepernick Retweet Says Everything You Need To Know About The NFL Players’ Anthem Grievance [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3785430″ overlay=”true”]

Pete Davidson Just Put an End to Kanye West

One week ago, Kanye West was the musical act on Saturday Night Live. As is often the case these days, however, the rapper's actual music was overshadowed by his ranting and raving about Donald Trump . Fast forward seven days and West was not featured in person on SNL this past weekend. But he was still a major presence, thanks to Pete Davidson stopping by Weekend Update to put the musician into his place. Referencing his own struggle with borderline personality disorder, along with West’s history with bipolar disorder, Davidson opened as follows: “First off, a lot of people thought Che should be the one to talk about Kanye, but we discussed it. Che’s black, but I’m crazy, and we both know which side of Kanye’s at the wheel right now.” Let's just stop right there and appreciate that perfect sentiment. Most people out there agree that West has essentially abandoned his race by supporting Trump… … and by calling for slavery to sort of return to America again. “Speaking strictly for myself, what Kanye said after we went off the air last week was one of the worst, most awkward things I’ve ever seen here, and I’ve seen Chevy Chase speak to an intern,” continued Davidson, who called the famous Saturday Night Live alumnus “ a genuinely bad, racist person ” on The Howard Stern Show last month. Davidson then touched on West’s “Make America Great Again” hat, which West claimed he was told not to wear on SNL. “He wore it all week,” Davidson shot back, adding: “Nobody told him not to wear it. I wish I bullied you. I wish I would have suggested that it might upset some people, like your wife [ Kim Kardashian ] or every black person ever.” Davidson said on air that he's actively taking medication for his disorder. He's obviously sensitive to mental health problems, but… “If I ever got on a plane and the pilot said, ‘I just want you to know, this is the real me flying the plane,’ I’d jump out. Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass.” HA! We love it. Watch Davidson's full takedown of Kanye here!

Samantha Markle Gets Denied from Kensington Palace, Leaves Mysterious Note for Sister

Samantha Markle put her money where her mouth is on Saturday morning. Or, to be more accurate, Samantha Markle put her wheelchair where her Twitter account has been. What we’re trying to is this: The awful half-sister of Meghan Markle actually tried to see the Duchess of Sussex at Kensington Place over the weekend. According to The Daily Mirror, which has even published photos of Samantha at the gates of this famous residence, Markle’s evil sibling made good on her threat to try and see the Royal Beauty early yesterday. Samantha – who suffers from multiple sclerosis – was pushed by her partner in a wheelchair through an open gate. British news outlets have sincereported that she got into a verbal “stand-off” with an officer guarding a security checkpoint and was turned away. Finally convinced she would not make it through, Samantha handed a guard a white envelope and then left. “Everybody would love to know what’s in that letter,” Samantha tweeted on Sunday. Samantha, of course, is 17 years old than Meghan. They share the same father, but never shared a household growing up. They barely really know each other. Yet this lack of a relationship hasn’t stopped Samantha from publicly disparaging and harassing Meghan, almost since the moment Meghan started dating Prince Harry. On endless irritating, cruel and self-serving occasions, Samantha has fired off Tweets or given interviews in which she accused Meghan of being a phony… a hypocrite… a spoiled brat… and even a dog killer . But whatever. Meghan has almost entirely maintained the high ground and never responded to her half-sister ridiculous rants. One must wonder whether this will change now that Samantha dared to actually get into the Palace. That’s scared territory. “This was a huge move on the part of Meghan’s sister to try to see her face to face and the fact she was turned away speaks volumes,” a source told The Mirror, adding: “This is the closest Meghan has come physically to that side of her family since she married into the royal family but palace staff had clearly been instructed not to allow her access.” Can you blame her?!? Just about a week ago, Samantha actually issued Meghan an apology , saying on air: “There is so much water under the bridge and so much has spun out of control that was never intended to. “I think everybody [in our family] was hurt at not being included or invited to the wedding, but I felt as though it could have all been nipped in the bud had everyone been included. “We all just agreed to move forward with positive resolve and the hurt feelings wouldn’t have snowballed.” In this same sit-down with Great Britain’s Channel 5, Samantha said of her visit overseas: “I’ve always wanted to see London, but really I wanted to make the trip and sort of speak the wishes and thoughts and sentiments of my father, and hopefully get a message to my sister.” It appears as if she has now at least done that. But who the heck knows whether Meghan will bother to read it. She has far better things to do these days than entertain any thoughts at all about someone such as Samantha Markle. Such as what, you may be wondering? Such as GETTING PREGNANT , of course! View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

Travis Scott Performs “Sicko Mode” And An “Astrothunder” Medley On ‘Saturday Night Live’

Travis Scott Performs On Saturday Night Live Saturday Night Live is back in full swing, and for the second episode of their season, Travis Scott performed a few tracks from his billboard topping record, Astroworld . This was the rapper’s first time appearing on the program, and his two performances included his huge hit “Sicko Mode” along with a “Skeletons/Astrothunder” medley. Travis is always known for bringing the energy to any stage he steps foot on, and Studio 8H was no different. Check out both of the Houston native’s performances below.

Pure Comedy: Travis Scott Is Surprisingly Good At Guessing Jamba Juice Flavors [Video]

You Can’t Stump Travis Scott In A Jamba Juice Taste Test Travis Scott is making his first appearance as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live this weekend, so in preparation for his highly-anticipated performances, it was a no-brainer that the rapper had to stop by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . If you’re a fan of Travis Scott–or even if you’re not and you’ve just listened to the radio at all within the last couple months–you’re familiar with his track “Sicko Mode.” On the song, the Houston rapper has some lines about Jamba Juice which Fallon brought attention to during the interview. Here are the lyrics in question: “Now it’s 4 AM and I’m back up poppin’ with the crew I just landed in, Chase B mix this pop like Jamba Juice Different colored chains, think my jeweler really sellin’ fruits” Travis admits that his girl Kylie Jenner is a huge fan of the smoothie giant, and turned him onto their drinks once they got together. Here’s where the fun comes in: Jimmy suggests that since Scott claims to be such a big fan of the drinks, they should do a taste test to see how well he really knows them–to which Travis obliges. The host places 3 cups on the table all numbered from 1 to 3. One-by-one, he passes Travis the drinks for him to identify without knowing what’s actually in them. If you didn’t expect the rapper to be good at identifying unknown Jamba Juice flavors, you’re in for a huge surprise. And when the show ups the ante with two separate juice flavors mixed into one concoction, you’ll be even more caught off guard. Travis also teases earlier on in his interview that he may or may not be involved in a couple sketches during his Saturday Night Live stint this weekend, and if this video is any indication, it’s going to be a great time.
