DJ D-Nice Shares White House Swag Surf Video Remember that moment Dave Chappelle spoke about with all those beautiful Black faces (and Bradley Cooper) gathered in unison at the White House during the Obama’s unofficial send-off by the Black community ? It was caught on camera in its full, extra-black glory. And now we have the fortune of taking a peek. Something tells us there will be a lot less joy (and zero expressions of any sort of cultural pride) in the new White House come this January… Instagram/Splash
Oprah Winfrey Says Trump Tweet Was A Mistake Everyone’s favorite auntie Oprah Winfrey found herself in a little bit of hot water after the election last week, when Trump met with Obama and she fired off this tweet: Well, on Sunday, Oprah ate her words a bit during a Facebook Live discussion with Ava Duvernay on her film 13th. Oprah went into the whys and hows of the tweet, but ultimately conceded that it wasn’t her place: “I couldn’t breathe after the election, I was just like [gasp]. I was expecting tension, awkwardness and strain. So, when I saw them sitting together, and I actually took a picture of the screen that said ‘President-elect Trump honored to meet Obama. And President Obama was being so gracious, and I heard Donald Trump say, ‘He’s a good man.’ I heard Donald Trump say, ‘I’m going to be seeking his counsel.’ I literally went … I can breathe now.” My mistake, and what I know to be true, you can never talk about everybody. Even in your arguments with your husband and your children. Don’t talk about what you should do, what you outta do, what everybody else should do, only speak for yourself.” Aw, y’all leave Oprah alone. She’s been around long enough to fire off a questionable tweet here and there…
“In the aftermath of the US presidential election, people are wearing safety pins as a symbol of solidarity with people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, religious minorities, and others facing targeted violence. The movement got it’s start after the successful Brexit campaign in the UK, when many immigrants and refugees faced an uptick in racist attacks. Allison, the American woman living in London who started it, told BuzzFeed News how the idea came to be. [ madamenoire ] Michelle Obama Delivers Hilarious Response To Man’s “Run For President!” Request Ever since last Tuesday’s election, many people have been looking forward. And I’m not necessarily talking about trying to prepare for what’s to come after January, but to the 2020 election. And while those who know Michelle Obama have been pretty confident in the idea that she wouldn’t give public office the time of day, many are still holding out hope. This is especially true after all the enthusiasm she garnered while supporting Hillary Clinton’s campaign. [ madamenoire ] #GrabYourWallet: Major Retailers Named In Boycott Of All Trump-Related Products The hashtag #GrabYourWallet has begun circulating online and it comes with a list of companies people are boycotting for selling Trump family related products. If you’re going to participate in this boycott, be prepared to see your Polo collection suffer. San Francisco-based brand and digital strategist Shannon Coulter started the boycott initiative when she urged people to not buy anything from Ivanka Trump’s clothing line after her father Donald Trump made those “grab them by the p*ssy” remarks. Her plight has since grown into an all-out Trump boycott of all of his family’s business and the corporations that support them.

This was a trending topic yesterday. I hate the internet. The Joe Biden and Obama memes. People fucking love them. I saw them across all social media and they aren’t even funny, but maybe that’s just because I am out of touch old person who doesn’t think a joke can be properly explored in 10 words or less – or maybe because “caption this” pictures never really interested me. But this is the generation of MEMES people are getting rich because of MEMES…and they aren’t even creating them MEMES they just post them….it’s ridiculous…Social media…Ridiculous.. it’s the same social media that TRUMP credits his campaign win to. The same social media where you mindless idiots play Keyboard Activists with your facebook statuses – but were totally disconnected from real life….acting all shocked TRUMP won, going out and protesting, without realizing – he is just a media manipulator – and will probably revert from the half retard – to a bright well spoken individual and will have real policy put in place that is progressive and that will redefine the way America is run…which as you know is fucking corrupt. So yeah, leave abortion at the state level – who cares…yeah get rid of criminal illegals…makes sense to me…it’s not racist…reinvest the money wasted on war into American infrastructure…give the guy a chance… I’m Canadian and don’t really care – But in the MEME time, yes, you can go protest in the streets and annoy everyone with your stupidity base on being inclusive as long as people agree with you….or you can look at these MEMES that went viral…while not even being funny…something that annoyed me so much I felt the need to post just how fucking dumb they are…. I hate the internet. The post Biden / Obama Memes Annoy Me of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

First Lady Michelle Obama And Cleveland Cavaliers Do Mannequin Challenge The Cleveland Cavaliers and Michelle Obama couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get in on the viral sensation #MannequinChallenge while it’s still hot and they’re all in the same room. The Championship-winning Cavs and the FLOTUS posed for the panning cam in the midst of Michelle and LeBron’s real-live selfie, but of course they skipped “Black Beatles” for the sake of being proper and Presidential… And then they did a slightly more ratchet/silly one for the fans… That guy in the beginning really committed to the “scrolling through his phone” pose, huh?
After watching President Barack Obama meet with President-elect Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, Oprah Winfrey says “hope is still alive.” The media maven and philanthropist recently spoke to the Associated Press and reflected on the shocking results of the 2016 election. “I could sense, maybe I’m wrong, but I could sense from Donald Trump’s […]
It has happened. Not only has Donald Trump been elected President , but the man who rose to political prominence by questioning Barack Obama's birth place has now actually met Barack Obama. For the first time. The President-Elect and the 44th President of the United State spoke to reporters while sitting side-by-side in the Oval Office on Thursday, November 10. “I want to emphasize to you, Mr. President-Elect, that we now are going to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed then the country succeeds,” Obama said at one point, while Trump replied: “Mr. President, it was a great honor to meet you and I look forward to meeting with you many, many more times.” Shocking.
