Betsy DeVos Gets A Big Thumbs Down After Parkland High School Visit

See the article here:

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos  received poor grades from many students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after her brief visit on Wednesday to the site of the mass shooting in February. SEE ALSO: Trump’s Failure Of An Education Secretary Grades Her First Year In Office The students, many of them new gun control advocates, wanted to hear DeVos’ policy thoughts on how to stem gun violence in schools. Instead, she had little interaction with the few students who were allowed to meet her, Carly Novell , a student newspaper editor, told The Huffington Post . Literally no one asked for this https://t.co/79A54IbIht — Sarah Chadwick// #NEVERAGAIN (@sarahchad_) March 7, 2018 Do something unexpected: answer our questions. You came to our school just for publicity and avoided our questions for the 90 minutes you were actually here. How about you actually do your job? #neveragain #DoYourJob https://t.co/4Ts0INq0gR — Aly Sheehy (@Aly_Sheehy) March 7, 2018 After visiting the school, DeVos held a press conference and expressed her openness to the idea of arming teachers, similar to the model used in Texas . “I think that’s a model that can be adopted and should be an option for schools, for states, for communities,” DeVos said, adding that it should not be required everywhere. Education Sec. Betsy DeVos says arming school personnel “should be an option … but it's certainly not one that needs to be required or mandated for every community.” pic.twitter.com/I450RZR5D6 — NBC News (@NBCNews) March 7, 2018 Arming teachers, however, endangers the lives of Black children. “It does not take a great deal of imagination to contemplate instances in which armed teachers dealing with recalcitrant children will react out of fear and racial stereotype and discharge their weapons as they do the disciplinary code,” wrote Sherrilyn Ifill , president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. A school environment where teachers are encouraged to carry weapons could also make law enforcement officers stationed at schools feel more at ease to shoot first and ask questions later.

The students gave him an enthusiastic welcome. One of the 17 shooting victims, Joaquin Oliver , was a huge fan of the former Miami Heat player. Oliver was buried in his Heat jersey. Dwayne Wade showed up at Stoneman Douglas High School and was greeted warmly by the students.

Eminem SLAMS Donald Trump: Actual Poop Would Make a Better President!

If you thought that maybe Eminem was going to ease up on his anti-Trump views … come on, why would you think that? You’re really just setting yourself up for failure with nonsense like this. For a good long while now, Eminem has been very outspoken about his disdain for our president, from the diss track he released in 2016 to his freestyle at October’s BET Hip Hop Awards. In the latter performance, he even spoke out against his fans who were also Trump supporters , saying that “any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing a line in the sand.” “You’re either for or against, and if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this.” At this point, things got a little more visual — he simply flipped off the camera, making it clear that he’s not interested in sharing fans with Trump. Eminem Utterly Destroys Donald Trump in This Freestyle Rap He continued his tirade on his new album , Revival, which contains several verses with similar themes. And in a new interview with Billboard, he’s lashing out yet again. “I know I say a lot of f-cked-up sh-t,” he says at one point. “But a lot of sh-t is said in jest, it’s tongue-in-cheek, and it has always been that way through my whole career — saying sh-t to get a reaction out of people.” “It’s my artistic license to express myself.” However, he adds, “Last time I checked, Trump isn’t an artist and doesn’t have an artistic license. I’m not the f-ckin’ president.” He makes a fair point. Later he was asked what he was doing on election night — he recalls that he was “watching the TV in f-cking disbelief,” and that he was “on the phone back and forth with friends, like, ‘He’s going to f-cking win.'” “I called it just from the rallies he was having when he first started running,” he continues. “Because just watching the impact he has, they were fanatics.” “There is something to be said about the person who really felt like he might do something for them — and he just f-cking duped everybody.” He says that he thinks Hillary Clinton “had her flaws,” but that “anything would have been better” than Trump. He actually says that “A f-cking turd would have been better as president.” We’ll never truly know, of course, or at least we probably won’t — at this point, who really knows? — but that sounds plausible, right? “It’s just so f-cking disgusting how divisive his language is, the rhetoric, the Charlottesville sh-t, just watching it, going ‘I can’t believe he’s saying this,'” he says. He also admits that after Trump’s statement on John McCain , he thought he was “done,” because “you’re f-cking with military veterans, you’re talking about a military war hero who was captured and tortured.” “It just didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. And that’s some scary sh-t to me.” Us too, pal. Eminem even says that while he may not have “hatred in my heart for him,” he does have “serious contempt.” “I do not like the guy.” As for his earlier remarks about not wanting to share fans with Trump, he says “At the end of the day, if I did lose half my fan base, then so be it, because I feel like I stood up for what was right and I’m on the right side of this.” “I don’t see how somebody could be middle class, busting their ass every single day, paycheck to paycheck, who thinks that that f-cking billionaire is going to help you.” Do you think Eminem is being too political, or is he on point with all of this?

Kanye West Black Ex-Girlfriend’s Poem Going Hard On Him Marrying Kim Kardashian [Video]

Jasmine Man’s “Footnotes For Kanye” is an interesting poem aimed at Kanye West selling out to a “white family.” The poem is actually 2 years old, but we saw new footage of Jasmine performing the piece in front of a crowd. We think Jasmine calling herself “Kanye’s Black Ex-Gilfriend” is a metaphor for this poem. Lyrics: You look hungry Like that girl don’t make you no fried chicken or macaroni & cheese Like she don’t feel you on the inside Like you haven’t had a home cooked meal since your mama died You look like you lost the song in your own song Like you want to talk to God, but you’re afraid because y’all ain’t spoke in so long Do you tell your daughter about me? How we were bittersweet To never mess with entertainers because they always leave That he’ll get on and he’ll leave your a*s for a White girl And he’ll give her your style Your language Your waist Damn near try to give her your face And somewhere in this post-traumatic twisted fantasy He’ll make it all okay but What’s the worth in loving a man who’s lost his smile anyway When Kim f*cks up the lyrics of the College Dropout Like them White folks used to f*ck up your name. Do you pretend not to notice? Do you regret the Marilyn Monroe in your decision And wish that you could’ve taken Billie Holiday as your bride Do you ever want to run back to your wedding day and have it all over on the south side Do you wake up in the middle of the night and just think that she wasn’t the right girl Like you should’ve found one of them “I like art” type girls Can you hear all the Black kids calling your name Wondering why the boy who rapped about his mama getting arrested for the sit-ins didn’t sit in Why he traded in his Nat Turner for Ralph Lauren Do you know how many kids at the protests had your sneakers on? None of them. Do you know how many of your songs were played at the protests? All of them. Do you hear all of the lights The flashing lights The new slaves The runaways on their road to redemption waiting for Malcolm West to have the whole world at attention. !!!!!, they got you quiet Like how come only at award shows, he riots? Maybe Yeezus was all talk Jesus never needed Adidas to walk Why is he outlining sneakers when the south side is outlined in chalk? Can someone, can someone go and find the man who can make a diamond with his own bare hands We are looking for you Because these kids still wanna be just like you They wanna rap and make soul beats Just like you Even though you just not you Even though you traded in your spaceship to buy back your forty acres and a mule Purchased the plantation and master’s daughters, too n**ga, why you got these White folks claiming you? Like they built you Like they made you Like they polished you Like they readied them a good !!!!! for the picking Like they got you for sale Oh, how they love Kanye Let’s put him on front of the store Like you’re their Black boy You forgot you Black, boy? They got you lost in this world You getting blackmailed for that White girl You don’t see how your lies is affecting me? You don’t see how our lives was supposed to be? And I never let a n**ga get that close to me And you ain’t cracked up to what you was supposed to be I guess it’s bittersweet poetry

Madonna: I Want to Blow Up the White House!

The day after Donald Trump was sworn in as our brand new president, people all across the country — all across the world, actually, are gathering together to march for women's rights, for LGBT rights … For all the rights, honestly. The Women's March is, of course, focused in Washington D.C., and that's where a number of celebrities gathered to protest Trump's presidency and also everything he's ever said or done. One of those celebrities in attendance was Madonna, who gave a speech she'd prepared about the whole situation. And oh, what a speech it was. Several news channels airing Madonna's speech cut away, thanks to all the language, and that one comment about blowing up the White House. It was a shame, because she really did have some nice sentiments. “Welcome to the revolution of love,” she said. “It took us this darkness to wake the f-ck up.” She directed a message “to our detractors that insist that this March will never add up to anything,” and that message? “F-ck you. F-ck you.” Madonna also said that she's “outraged” over Trump, and that she has “thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House.” Watch the full speech below:

Cuba Gooding Jr. Gets Wasted, Curses Off Awards Show

Cuba Gooding Jr. may have won critical praise for his portrayal of O.J. Simpson on this year's FX minseries, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. But the actor is a different kind of juiced in the clip below. It was filmed at at something called the Footwear News Achievement Awards, which held this past Tuesday in New York City. Gooding was on hand to present the Social Impact Award to designer friend John Varvatos. Sounds simple enough, right? But the former Oscar winner, by his own admission, had a tad too much to drink prior to taking the stage… and proceeded to give us one of the more memorable awards introductions of the year. “Nothing says I love you like f-cking sugar,” the 48-year-old actor said to open, referring, we guess, to the food provided at the event. “F-cking boxed lunched. I’m drunk now, motherf-ckers. Deal with it.” The crowd laughed right along with Cuba because… let's face it… they knew they were at the Footwear News Achievement Awards. “I thought the BET Awards were cheap,” Gooding says below. “In the words of Spike Lee, excuse my language but, they can fu-k you too, Spike.” An insider confirms to The Daily Mail that Gooding went straight for the bar as soon as he got inside the venue, prior to making a “beeline for Rihanna.” Gooding was also telling people that he and his wife are now separated. Ouch. Awkward! Watch the uncomfortable (and hilarious!) speech play out below:
