Smh: Another White Person Felt Safe Using The N-Word Around Black People & Chaos Ensues

Source: Karsten Jipp / EyeEm / Getty I don’t know what it is about public transportation that brings out the boldness in racist White people, but another one tried their luck by using the N-word around Black folks. Some of us might remember how things like this end when rapper Princess Nokia threw her afternoon lunch at a New York subway racist last year . Now, a Chicago bigot was on the receiving end of Black fury. According to WGN 9 , a White man was arguing with passengers at a train stop and eventually the N-word is thrown around. A Black guy then removes his shirt and glasses, which is never a good sign for a bigot, and eventually he punches the White guy causing him to land on the edge of the track. The Black guy then hits the White guy again, nearly sending him into the train tracks. Eventually, other passengers intervene. According to a witness , the man who was punched used several racial slurs before the violent scene. The video has since gone viral with over 2 million views. Check it out for yourself below.

Elon Musk Vows On Twitter To Pay For Home Water Filters For Flint Residents

Source: Photo by Mike Kline (notkalvin) / Getty It’s been four years since the bonehead decision by Michigan officials to switch the city of Flint’s water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River. The water from the lake was highly corrosive causing hazardous levels of lead to link into Flint’s water supply poisoning its residents. The residents fought tooth and nail just recognize the problem and bring national attention to the crisis. Despite claims of the water being safe to drink may residents still don’t trust the city’s drinking water. After being challenged on Twitter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he is willing to help those still suffering in Flint. Please consider this a commitment that I will fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels. No kidding. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 11, 2018 Musk fresh off being in the news for his submarine idea to help the now rescued Thai soccer team trapped in a cave promised in a Tweet: “Please consider this a commitment that I will fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels. No kidding.” Michigan’s state government recently ended a program that supplied a free bottled water to residents, despite the fact, there are still residents complaining of unusable water. Musk’s help whether or not its a PR move would definitely be more than welcomed by the people of Flint. Musk also stated in related tweets that “Most houses in Flint have safe water, but they’ve lost faith in govt test results. Some houses are still outliers,” and encouraged those who feel their water is still bad to share their test results and he “will send someone to install a water filter.” He also promised to create a specific email, flint@x.com when he has an opportunity to do so when he returns from China. For now, reply to my tweet with ppm & ppb test results & will send someone to install a water filter. Creating email flint@x.com, but I’m in China so that won’t be working until tomorrow. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 11, 2018 Well, we gotta tip our hat to Elon Musk, this exactly how you put your money where your mouth is. Musk joins the likes of Big Sean ,  Bruno Mars and Dave Chappelle who also used their wealth and resources to help the city during its water crisis. — Photo: Mike Kline (notkalvin) / Getty

Jamie Foxx’s Penis Slapping Accusation Has Been Dismissed

Even though there were holes in the story, the Las Vegas Police Department went ahead and completed an investigation into the accusation, long after the statue of limitation had been up. Foxx vehemently denied the charge against him and now according to TMZ , the LVPD is officially closing the book on the “criminal” aspect of the case.

Rachel Maddow Breaks Down Over Trump Administration Detaining Toddlers

Source: The Washington Post / Getty MSNBC ‘s Rachel Maddow echoed the sentiment of many in the nation while trying to deliver an on-air report regarding President Donald Trump ‘s aggressive anti-immigrant tactics of late. When trying to explain the so-called “tender age” shelters being used to detain babies and toddlers separated from their parents at the border, Maddow broke down and couldn’t finish her segment due to the explosive details. The Hill reports : MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow broke down in tears on-air over a report about the Trump administration operating “tender age” shelters for migrant babies and toddlers. Maddow choked up while reading the first lines of the Associated Press’ report on the three facilities where children under the age of 13 are being sent after being separated from their parents at the border. She was unable to read the description of the shelters, first asking a producer to display a graphic, and then deciding to abruptly end her segment. “I think I’m going to have to hand this off, sorry,” the MSNBC host said through tears. Yes, folks. This is who the American people elected as president, a man who leads an administration that is attempting to justify this terrible act as political policy. Maddow took to Twitter to apologize for breaking down on-air, although she hardly needed to do that despite the professional reason for doing so. Ugh, I'm sorry. If nothing else, it is my job to actually be able to speak while I'm on TV. What I was trying to do — when I suddenly couldn't say/do anything — was read this lede: 1/6 — Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) June 20, 2018 This is Rachel Maddow upon getting the breaking news that Trump has established detention centers for babies who've been forcefully taken from their parents.

Oooo: Instagram Could Be Coming For YouTube’s Wig With New IGTV

Source: AFP / Getty Folks…Instagram is at again! After coming for Snapchat’s life by creating Insta Stories in 2016 , IG now seems to be coming for YouTube with their new long-form video sharing. At a San Francisco event on Wednesday, Instagram announced IGTV for Instagram creators. It will be a feature within the main Instagram app and it will be it’s own separate app for iOS and Android. As soon as people log into IGTV it will automatically play vertical long-form videos from people you follow. Similar to turning on a TV, but without the big TV networks. At launch, IGTV will not involve any ads and the company has yet to create a revenue sharing agreement with creators. However, IG eventually wants creators to make a living off the service.  They’ve already partnered with a few IG personalities to pre-populate the service with content. Brands and media organizations will also be invited to participate. Beauty vlogger Manny Gutierrez , video game streamer Ninja , and fitness personality Katie Austin   are just a few of the creators who were invited to test IGTV. The new video service will allow users to upload up to ten minutes of video to Instagram, while people with larger followings can upload up to an hour of video. Eventually, the Facebook-owned company hopes to let users post videos of unlimited length, according to Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom. So yea…like I said, Instagram now seems to be coming for YouTube. That’s not to say YouTube should be severely threatened by IGTV, considering YouTube does non-vertical video content and they have YouTube red. But IG is definitely making the competition stiff! Are you excited for IGTV? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook!
