Rachel Dolezal Is Still Insisting That She’s African American, And Changed Her Name To THIS For More Black Points

Rachel Dolezal Gives Herself A West African Name Totally and completely white woman Rachel Dolezal is still insisting that she is a Black woman , and using a curly fro wig and microbraids to somehow make it true to the rest of us. Now, on top of all her “natural” hair endeavors, the former NAACP leader has now given herself a super Afrocentric name, just to really drive the point home. wRachael has legally changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo. Rachel filed the docs for the official West African name change in Washington State. According to Mail Online , “Nkechi” is short for Nkechinyere which means “gift of God” in the Nigerian language of Igbo. Meanwhile, Diallo comes from the Fula people of West Africa and means “bold.” So Rachel says she’s a bold gift of God , huh? Well if you don’t believe it for yourself, who else will, right? You would think she’d give up this tired culture vulture routine since it hasn’t done anything but get her fired from her job, relentlessly memed and criticized, and send her to the poorhouse.

Leslie Jones Rails Against “45-Year-Old White Women From Williamsburg Saying Black Lives Matter”

Leslie Jones Makes Fun Of White Women Who Go Out Of Their Way To Say BLM If you thought “they” were mad at Leslie Jones before, wait ’til they get a load of what she had to say during her set at Caroline’s in NYC. According to NYTimes : “If I see another 45-year-old white woman from Williamsburg saying ‘black lives matter,’ I’m going to punch you in the mouth,” Ms. Jones said. “Stop doing that.” Racist . @Lesdoggg makes fun of white women supporting #BlackLivesMatter under the guise of “comedy” https://t.co/m5xTSyXKNF via @pagesix — Jewhadi™ (@JewhadiTM) February 25, 2017 Leslie Jones makes fun of white women supporting Black Lives Matter https://t.co/BR2HNyK0Ej via @pagesix BLM WANTS TO HURT THEM, SHES RIGHT — Mari Proud Trump Won (@MarianneHaran) February 25, 2017 Comedian Leslie Jones’ routine threatens white women with violence – it’s okay, she’s a lib https://t.co/G81yoHX3Aa pic.twitter.com/AYpbDMRdhC — michelekirkBPR (@michelekirkBPR) February 25, 2017 Boy, are they angry. She also took a lil’ time to continue to poke fun at herself for her nude photo leak last year: “I actually laughed.” “I was like, they don’t understand how many people I’ve actually tried to show that to,” she added. “You really just helped a sister out. Thank you for the distribution.” However, explaining things to her family wasn’t quite so easy: “Now I got to explain this to my aunties,” said Ms. Jones, 49, a cast member from “Saturday Night Live.” “They old, and they from civil rights. They just now getting computers.” Slipping into the quavering voice of one of these relatives, Ms. Jones said, “She was like, ‘Was it the Klu’s Klux Klan?’” She examined her niece’s anatomy and added, “I didn’t raise you like that.” It’s good to see that Leslie hasn’t let a bunch of 140-character thumb thugs bring her down.

Lisa Marie Presley’s Twin Daughters Taken By Child Protective Services After “Disturbing Photos” Found On Ex-Husband’s Computer

Lisa Marie Presley’s Children Taken By CPS Things have taken a serious turn for Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley in the proceedings for her divorce from her fourth husband. The socialite’s 8-year-old twin daughters have been taken custody by California child protective services , after disturbing photos of children were discovered on a computer belonging to their father, Presley’s estranged husband Michael Lockwood. Lisa Marie was reportedly “shocked and horrified and sick to [her] stomach” over the discovery. According to the filing (via People ): “Respondent [Lockwood] was discovered to have hundreds of inappropriate photos of children and is facing allegation of sexual abuse and neglect. While Respondent has yet to be convicted of crimes related to his possession of these photos, that he possessed them is documented evidence of conduct that has destroyed the mental or emotional calm of Petitioner [Presley]… Accordingly, Respondent’s request for spousal support must be denied by reason of his conduct alone.” YIKES. Lisa Marie also suspects that there may be more disgusting material looming on his other devices, according to the filing. “I have no idea what else may be on those devices and fear that there are more and worse images and evidence in these un-analyzed devices.” Hopefully the kids are unharmed and can be kept safe while all of this is sorted out…

Missouri KKK Leader Who Once Threatened “Lethal Force” Against BLM Protestors Found Dead

Missouri Klan Leader Found Dead Under Suspicious Circumstances Missouri Klan leader Frank Ancona was confirmed dead Saturday after police identified a body found near a bank of the Big River near Belgrade. Ancona was the self-proclaimed “Imperial Wizard” of a KKK chapter near St. Louis who once threatened Klan members would use “lethal force” against protestors following the police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson. Ancona was also named in a 2013 lawsuit filed by the ACLU against the city of Desloge for allowing his KKK group to distribute neighborhood watch leaflets, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Ancona’s wife Malissa told police he was last seen at his home Wednesday morning after being called to work to deliver a part out of state. He packed a bag and brought his guns with him. That was the last relatives heard from him, according to Daily Journal reports . Oddly, police say Ancona’s employer denied calling him out of state. His job reached out to authorities to report him missing Friday after he failed to show up at work. Police questioned Ancona’s wife about a Facebook posting she made on the day of his disappearance seeking a roommate for him. She told cops Ancona was filing for divorce when he returned and she thought he’d need help paying rent. A safe inside the Ancona’s house had been broken in with a crowbar when police arrived at the home with a search warrant, but Leadwood Police Chief William Dickey said a burglary was not suspected. We don’t want to point any fingers but uuuuuh anybody foresee an episode of “Snapped” about this case in the future? Karma is def a bi**h. YouTube/Facebook

Blame Betsy Devos: U.S. Dept. Of Education Misspells W.E.B. Du Bois’ Name In Tweet

“Just give them a chance”, they said… @usedgov #BHM pic.twitter.com/CGSal8zBKP — Khary Penebaker (@kharyp) February 12, 2017 Department Of Education Forced To Eat Crow After Misspelling Name Of Black Icon W.E.B DuBois First Frederick Douglass — now this. The U.S. Department of Education is eating crow after misspelling W.E.B. Du Bois’ name in a tribute tweeted out Sunday morning. An iconic scholar and Black History Month hero, Du Bois is well known for co-founding the NAACP, as well as writing about racism and other social issues. A trailblazer in Civil Rights, Du Bois was the first African-American to earn a doctorate degree from Harvard University. He died in 1963. The Department, which has been under fire for its new leader Betsy Devos , corrected the tweet within a few hours, apologizing profusely. Post updated – our deepest apologies for the earlier typo. — US Dept of Education (@usedgov) February 12, 2017 “Education must not simply teach work – it must teach life.” – W.E.B. Du Bois pic.twitter.com/hSg4R1rLHH — US Dept of Education (@usedgov) February 12, 2017 Do you think people have become TOO vigilant about errors like this one? Haven’t we all experienced a typo or two while tweeting? Or do you think it’s simply too important of a task to commit a major fail like this one?

Race Matters: 60 Pennsylvania High School Students Shout Racist Trump Comments At Black Basketball Team

Racist Chants Hurled At Black High School Basketball Team In Pennsylvania Apparently high school basketball games are the trendiest places to be racist pieces of s#!t. A DailyMail report highlights a group of 60 Pennsylvania high school students who celebrated “hick night” by holding Trump signs and yelling racist rhetoric at an opposing black basketball team. Parents said Connellsville students yelled chants including ‘Build that wall!’ and ‘Get them out of here!’ at black Uniontown players. The Connellsville fans were sporting gear like camouflage baseball caps and flannel shirts with the sleeves cut off as part of the themed night. The school’s athletic director brought an end to the racist chants and gave the students a stern talking to: He also said he spoke with the 60 students to explain how their actions were perceived, and that the conversation was met with ‘wide eyes’ from the students who said that they were ’embarrassed’. Oh, yeah…we bet they were real embarrassed. SMFH. Image via Facebook

CNN Journalist Chris Cuomo Apologizes For Comparing ‘Fake News’ To ‘The N-Word’

Chris Cuomo Apologizes For Comparing Fake News To The N-Word CNN journalist Chris Cuomo has apologized for recent comments comparing Cheeto Mussolini’s ‘fake news’ to a racial slur against African-Americans. During an interview with Michael Smerconish on SiriusXM radio this week, Cuomo said that he sees being called “fake news” as a journalist “as the equivalent of the n-word for journalists, the equivalent of calling an Italian any of the ugly words that people have for that ethnicity.” Listen to the interview below: The CNN host said: “It is an ugly insult and you better be right if you’re going to charge a journalist with lying on purpose and the president was not right here and he has not been right in the past.” Chris now apologizes for the remarks and says comparing the two things was simply offensive: Many people defended Cuomo after the interview went viral: And there’s always this: What do you think of Cuomo’s remarks?
