https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/?hl=en Taylor Swift > Kanye West Remember about 10 years ago when Kanye West hopped on the VMA stage to yank Taylor Swift’s award and pay homage to Beyonce? That sparked a feud between the two that hasn’t ended. No one would have thought, 10 years ago, that in 2018 we’d be getting a Taylor Swift that speaks up for black people and a Kanye West who wears MAGA hats. But that’s exactly what happened. Swift just dropped this IG note on her political views and, spoiler alert: she’s voting democrat. I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! That’s right, Swift cares more about black people than Kanye West. This is some damn BS. If you had told me two years ago Kanye would be running around in a MAGA hat while Taylor Swift was endorsing democratic candidates, I would have smacked you to the ground and stolen your wallet for wasting my time. — KB (@KaraRBrown) October 8, 2018 Twitter is…not okay. Take a look at everyone having an existential crisis over this. WTF, Kanye. WTF indeed.
Amanda Edwards/Getty Images Amber Rose Hosts Slutwalk Amber Rose hosted her fourth annual Slutwalk Saturday in downtown Los Angeles with hundreds of her Rosebuds. Event attendees included Amb’s own mother Ms. Dorothy… Amanda Edwards/Getty Images as well as Milan Christopher… Chelsea Guglielmino/Getty Images and rapper Saweetie. Amb dressed as a “trophy wife” for the event and held a sign that read, “Wife a slut, we’re more fun.” SplashNews.com All wasn’t completely well, however, because one of the headliners, Foxy Brown, did NOT perform. According to Foxy herself, Amber and her Slutwalk team are “unprofessional” so her absence wasn’t her fault. “My fans have, and will, always take precedence! Apologies to the Slut Walk Nation and my beloved fans, due to the unprofessionalism of the Slut Walk Team. Horrified, tickets are still being sold; (with me as headlining act), even after organizers refused to provide even the basic accommodations, (and technical budget alloted for me). After promoting my name for months, they’ve canceled, citing lack of funds, yet continued to SELL TICKETS up until an hour before showtime. I’ve championed my sis, Dancehall Queen Spice to perform alongside me, giving you guys an unprecedented hip hop & dancehall performance! While everyone is disgusted by the lack of respect shown, STILL, I encouraged @spiceofficial to soldier on for our fans, kill it for us both @benjicarlisle I feel your disappointment, we all do. Transparency of the classless, concerted effort to stop greatness, but GOD is greatest! Just know I ONLY, and solely agreed to do this for YOU! @webbmusicceo LA I’ll see you guys very soon! King Fox” “Classless” though?! Sounds a lot like Foxy didn’t feel like she’d be properly compensated for her performance. Despite Foxy’s absence, it looks like the event was a success!

Diplo Calls Out Dame Dash For “Stealing” His Beat Kanye West is out here spreading love and reconnecting with all his old collaborators that he previously turned his back on . Among those is apparently Dame Dash . Kanye enthusiastically reposted a message Dame sent him, showing off a brand new beat with a jazzy sound and urging ‘Ye to be serious about rapping since he’s serious about the “new heat” he’s cooking up with him in mind. “Don’t talk that s–t saying you ready to rap. Have me come cook some s–t up. Get in the lab, you know, and make s—t up. F–k all that other dumb s—t, n—a. I’m in the studio, n—a, making motherf—king records.” We’re guessing ‘Ye must have liked the beat and was perhaps considering lending some of his MAGA-motivated rhymes to it. The only issue? It wasn’t really Dame’s to hand out. Not only was it not Dame’s beat…it wasn’t even new. In fact, it was already released by DJ/artist Diplo — 10 years ago. Diplo, who you may know from being 1/3 of Major Lazer, was quick to catch it and call it out via Twitter. This is my actual song tho https://t.co/yoQl3Uf9gO — Diplo (@diplo) October 4, 2018 Free promo https://t.co/Kr0umhQDvb — Diplo (@diplo) October 4, 2018 For reference…here is Diplo’s song “Sarah” from his 2008 album ‘Florida.’ SMH. Maybe Dame didn’t think Kanye would post it for everyone in the world to hear and notice?? That’s the only way we figure he may have thought he could skate by with this one… Getty/Instagram/YouTube

Rat Cow went to some bullshit protest, because an uneducated set of tits has an opinion on the world and is trying to make a difference, because it’s trendy and a way for her to get into the media for more than just her tits.. Her caption: Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault. Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power. Maybe she just wants to show you all the evolution of her face injections… It is funny to me to see, because she literally went viral at the right time – due to her tits. The relationship between her fame or audience that brands pay to reach on her social media and her tits is LINEAR. There is no other reason she exists…TITS ONLY….TITS HERE…TITS GET HITS…. So a girl who is a new wave sex worker, from social media, sex working, fighting for the rights of women to be heard, who only is rich because men like tits…is almost disrespectful to her audience. It’s her saying “I don’t need you guys who make me exist, I’m a feminist, girl power”….not that any of are against feminists or rationalizing your tits as some higher purpose than jsut flashing tits. We encourage it…. But why alienate the audience, and accept that you are just tits… All this tells me is the extent a girl will go to prove to herself she’s not a whore when she knows she’s a whore…and the only reason she’s a whore is for personal gain… She will alienate her audience and take a stance no one cares about hearing, cuz they just want to see her tits. Even women don’t care about what this slut has to say and know she only exists cuz of her tits. She’s not inspiring, or interesting, or even qualified to protest anything. I firmly believe that you can’t just spin your storyline, because America has gone down some weird confusing path, cuz you know if it went down another path, and it did when everyone started getting naked, she was up on that… She worked and shot with accused sex offenders….she didn’t care…but now she cares…get the fuck over yourself you shapeshifting groupie trend following twat and realize that a Ho. Is a Ho. Is a Ho. That’s the trade she made for fame and fortune when she decided to live her life as a Ho…a deal with the devil or whatever… So her intellectualizing it, or making it political, or higher purposes, when she’s go nothing but big tits in our face to say about it, that’s all the public who even know who this low level is….is just her narcissism and ego screaming that she’s more than just tits. People are fucking crazy. How can she believe she’s anything more than a set of tits, who fucked Affleck and Fincher for a movie gig. CRAZY. I mean…I guess she’s getting what she wants in terms of media attention, which it is all about when you are clickbait. Oh and this…. Now her tits – cuz she’s a whore… The post Rat Cow the Sex Working Women’s Rights Activist of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Hana Giraldo is Pat Benatar’s Instagram Thot daughter….because when your mom is rich and famous and you’re raised among entertainers who all think they are important because the world has made them rich as fuck….you have no choice but to grow up into some trashy looking face injected slut for instagram posing with her ass and tits out…it’s almost like they are conditioned to be that instagram whore… I’m just wondering if her dad is Giraldo, the TV host…. I guess I could google it, but why bother when I already know her is. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Hana Giraldo Bikini of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Source: vorDa / Getty Black women are now the most educated group in the country , which means it’s natural we have more money at our fingertips. However, as anyone who has ever dealt significantly in the financial arena knows, just because you make money that doesn’t automatically mean you know what to do with it. It’s easy to neglect investing, saving and making other sound decisions with your money, in favor of spending it on things you want instead of things you need to provide you with a comfortable life long after your working days are behind you. Culturally, Black people don’t utilize their finances the way they should in comparison to their non-white peers, but that has a lot to do with not making as much and being afforded the same opportunities. When you know better, you do better, so we spoke to Tiffany Aliche (known as The Bugetnista) and AttiQuewa Green (known as That Finance Chick), black women who are financial experts and filled with sage advice, to give us some tips on how to get your finances to where they should be and how to make your money work for you even while you’re sleeping. This is the year to level up…and that definitely includes your finances! Hello Beautiful: What do you think are the biggest obstacles between black women and their finances? Tiffany Aliche: The biggest obstacle for black women surrounding their finances is thinking that we need to manage it all on their own, and asking for help is a sign of weakness. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. I had a period after getting laid off from my job where I felt ashamed. It was isolating. Nothing gets solved in isolation. This is what’s so powerful about my Facebook forum, the Live Richer Dream Catchers Group. Over 300,000 members are in the group. I see women daily getting support from each other. They share stories of how getting advice on building credit, repaying debt, and saving has completely changed their financial outlook. AttiQuewa Green: I think the biggest obstacles black women have when dealing with our finances is finding a way to end the cycle of financial illiteracy for ourselves and finding our financial comfort zone to meet our goals. Often times, it’s up to us to learn how to “do better” with our money when we didn’t realize there was an issue in the first place. Then once we get over that hump, we have to silence the voices around us saying that our ambitions are too much for our current circumstances. For example: for the woman barely making ends meet aspiring to make six figures so she doesn’t have to figure out which bill not to pay for the month and maybe be able to travel once in a while. Or the most insulting obstacle in my opinion, silencing the old traditional or insecure voices telling us not to intimidate our men by making more than them. HB: How do you feel about the belief that black people lack the abundance of generational wealth of other races, thus leaving them behind financially? Aliche: History’s impact on our ability to generate wealth can’t be ignored. But I don’t believe that the black community lacks the capacity to build wealth for future generations. Abundance is all around us, we just need to give our community the right tools to accumulate it. Creating affordable tools with strategies to build wealth is my passion. Green: I believe it’s true. The historical events involving slavery through mortgage redlining has set us back tremendously, but I also believe that we don’t have to stay where we are. We cannot continue to play the blame game as it does nothing for us. It’s all about educating yourself, your family & community to get ahead. There are so many tools and resources available to us that can allow us to create generational wealth including, but definitely not limited to, having multiple sources of passive income. HB: At what age do you recommend sitting down with a young black woman and teaching her the basics of financial responsibility? Aliche: I’m working on a children’s book right now teaching children how to manage money. I also worked on a financial literacy bill to make financial education required in schools. The basics of financial responsibility should be taught to young black women right along with reading and writing at a very young age. Simple lessons like saving an allowance and giving back has a long-term positive impact as they transition into their teenage and young adult years. Green: As soon as possible. If they can talk, they can listen. It’s all about creating great habits young because it’s way easier than having to break bad habits as an adult. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people with the mindset that “kids should be kids” or they need to stay in a “child’s place” not realizing that they are stifling them. Your childhood is about learning life lessons you’re going to need as an adult and the sooner we can adopt that mindset they better off our next generations will be. HB: With the uncertainty of the current administration, what advice do you have for black women to secure their financial future? Aliche: Don’t let fear or uncertainty scare you into inaction. The news can be depressing, but there are moves you can make within your control. Of course, vote — locally and on the national level. Entrepreneurship as a means to building generational wealth is another way to secure your future. Developing multiple streams of income is advice I always stress. You never know when you could lose a job or lose a salary in your household. Having a side business can ease the financial blow. A side hustle can also grow into a full-time job or a company that you can pass down to future generations. Green: Definitely have multiple streams of income! It is a must! Also, prepare for your future by saving now, making safe investments and taking advantage of the current tax laws when looking at investing and growing your money as well as have the best credit you can possibly obtain. HB: What financial mistakes do you commonly see black women make that they need to change? Aliche: Living beyond means is a common problem I see with black women, but the good news is this isn’t such a terrible problem to have. You can rectify it by taking a hard look at your spending habits, downsizing, and creating a good budget. I was able to save about $40,000 in a few years on a teacher’s salary, so cutting back can be done even if you’re making a modest salary. Green: Not having multiple sources of income. Living a life that they can’t afford. Not planning out their financial future. Letting other people have an influence over their money (significant other, friends, family “black tax” & jobs.) HB: If you could narrow it down to a few specific tips, what advice would you give a black woman about her finances? Aliche: Know it’s not a race. As teenagers, we believe we’ll be married by 25, living in a McMansion by 28, and driving a Rolls Royce at 30. Then we get to 30, realize we’re sitting on a pile of student loan debt, and feel like failures. There’s no race. It’s a journey. Mistakes will be made. Financial security happens from learning and making smarter decisions over time. Get your emergency fund together. An emergency savings fund is where you should put a few months’ worth of your salary. Don’t ever spend this money. Keeping a cash cushion will help you avoid having to rely on credit cards and other debt when unexpected expenses come up. Protect your credit. Having good credit history comes with many perks like affordable loans and credit. You may think you’re a good friend, partner, parent, or cousin by co-signing for someone else, but their payment habits will impact you. Your needs come first. Work to keep your credit history clean. Use your employer retirement plan. It’s never too early to start saving for retirement. Even if you can only put a few bucks away in your employer retirement account, do it! Work towards increasing your contribution to match your employer contribution. If your employer doesn’t offer a retirement plan, consider investing in an IRA or another retirement account. Green: Outside of the usual “make sure you have a great budget, plan for your future, fix your credit & have multiple sources of income,” do not allow anyone to make you feel negative about your financial ambitions. As women, we crave stability and security and if people don’t understand that, that’s none of your business. Also, be sure to surround yourself with like-minded people. It’ll make your financial journey a lot easier.

As Rap Radar reports Meek’s public relations team doubled up with not one but two covers of the fall issue. For the feature the “All Eyes On You” rapper pens a letter to his 19-year old self. The message speaks about perseverance, race in America, the judicial system and looking forward to his accomplishments. The magazine created an accompanying visual as a teaser to the letter. Since being released from jail Meek has shown immense growth. He has seemingly become the face of criminal justice reform with ongoing participation in rallies and voicing the plight of non violent offenders who have been unfairly hit with severe sentences. Additionally he has made up with his once foe Drake. Both covers will be available October 16. Source: XXL MAGAZINE / XXL MAGAZINE — Photo: WENN.com
Source: David Livingston / Getty Tonight’s fun on Bossip on WEtv is all about Kanye West being annoying, Lindsay Lohan getting faded and Iyanla actually fixing the Braxton Family’s lives (hopefully). Even Kim is tired of Kanye, because, on a recent episode of Keeping up With the Kardashians, she vents to Khloe about how he threw a tantrum because Kim had Jesus band-aids in their house instead of skin color band-aids and how could he be seen wearing a loud Jesus band-aid? The horror! In other news, Lindsay Lohan has adopted a weird wannabe Arab accent and she got punched in the face for messing with some Syrian refugees. She had it in her mind that their kids were being trafficked, tried to take the kids and got the Syrian Fists of Fury laid on her. Get this, she live-streamed her beat down! On tonight’s episode of Braxton Family Drama Values, Iyanla Vanzant actually got to the bottom of their issues and seems to have actually fixed their lives. She even got Tamar to commit to choosing to be a better person. That’s going to be hard, but mmmkay. Finally, the episode winds down with special guest, Nene Leakes. She discussed Gregg’s health, which is said to be turning around, but also her Swag Boutique in Georgia and Florida, and of course Real Housewives of Atlanta. As far as RHOA , NeNe puts to bed the rumors that nene is responsible for casting the show. She is not but she has had to do a, “me or them” situation. She’ll never tell who it was, but hopefully, people will stop trying to act like she’s a casting director.
