A recall petition is making its way around the Internet, one that seeks to penalize the judge at the center of the Brock Turner sexual assault case. Last week, Turner was found guilty on three felony accounts of sexual assault for actions that stemmed from an incident in January of 2015. A jury decreed that Turner digitally raped an unnamed victim near a dumpster after the two had attended a party. The woman was unconscious and woke up hours later in a hospital, dried blood and pine needles all over her. Turner was stopped in the middle of his heinous action by two men who rode by on bicycles, one of whom chased the rapist and tackled him in the street. Due to the verdict, Turner was eligible to face up to 14 years in state prison. On Thursday, however, Santa Clara County Judge Persky ordered a shockingly lenient ruling: only six months… in county jail. Why did Persky barely punish Turner for his sexual assault? In court, the judge cited Turner’s clean criminal record and said he believed that a harsher punishment would leave a “severe impact” on him. As you might expect, critics have gone off on Persky ever since, especially in light of the moving statement also made in court by the victim. You want a “severe impact,” Judge Persky? Consider the following message: Ashleigh Banfield Reads Full Statement by Stanford Rape Victim on Air Following the judge’s ruling, a petition was created on Change.org on Monday. It already has amassed more than 230,000 signatures and it states that “Judge Persky failed to see that the fact that Brock Turner is a white male star athlete at a prestigious university does not entitle him to leniency. “He also failed to send the message that sexual assault is against the law regardless of social class, race, gender or other factors.” It’s worth noting that Persky, like Turner, is a Stanford graduate who played a sport for the prestigious university. This sad case has also gone viral because Turner’s dad, Dan Turner, wrote a letter defending the college athlete surfaced. In it, Dan described the rape as “20 minutes of action out of [Brock’s] 20-plus years of life” and argued that his child should not spend any time in jail at all. Here’s a look at that controversial letter:
More positivity from this prestigious HBCU … Morehouse President Announces #BlackLivesMatter Presidential Dialogue The President of Morehouse College is making national headlines for announcing a #BlackLivesMatter Presidential Dialogue. During the monthly discussion Dr. John Silvanus Wilson Jr. will meet with students to discuss topics including violence against black people and LGBTQA issues. Via Morehouse.edu: Morehouse President Dr. John Silvanus Wilson Jr. has established a monthly discussion group, the #BlackLivesMatter Presidential Dialogue, in response to student activism on the Atlanta University Center Campus. The president will be joined by students and faculty members from Morehouse, Spelman and Clark Atlanta University to talk about issues ranging from sexual assault across campuses, to violence against black people, to a more responsible embrace of the College’s LGBTQA students. “Simply, the design of the dialogue is to have an institutional space for activist talk and action where at the conclusion of each meeting, there will be a tangible action item employed that will demonstrate our community’s understanding of Black Lives Matter issues and needed solutions,’’ Wilson said. “At Morehouse, we want to get this right,” he told students during a discussion held at the Davidson House Center for Excellence, the president’s official residence. That initial discussion was the catalyst for the monthly dialogue, which officially begins in January 2016 and will continue to be hosted at the Davidson House. Hats off to Dr. Wilson for facilitating this discussion for not only the men of Morehouse but also other AUC students. What do YOU think about the Black Lives Matter dialogue at Morehouse???

Via Washington Post : Tom Cruise’s son doesn’t think Caitlyn Jenner deserves an award for courage. Connor Cruise is furious that the 65-year-old former Olympian, who was known as Bruce Jenner before undergoing gender transition, is set to receive the prestigious Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY Awards next month because he thinks there are “more important things” to talk about and other people that “actually deserve an award.” In a furious rant on Twitter, the 20-year-old DJ wrote: “Really?? Winning the AA award for courage?? Ashton is gonna come out and yell PUNK’D. “Don’t get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don’t let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously…There are so many more important things that should be talked about…And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award. “Like the fact that we are overfishing and in 30 years there will be no more fish. Seems dumb but 85 percent of the worlds protein is fish. That’s one of thousands of things that should be of a higher importance than what is currently being gone over…Or what about the fact that our planet is becoming less habitable on a daily basis. Yet the population is increasing at an alarming rate…Or the fact that we all can’t even get a long on earth lol. We fight and kill each other. We have war and poverty.
