Dartmouth College Announces #BlackLivesMatter Courses On Racial Inequality In America Darmouth College is taking a step in the right direction by planning to offer courses centered around educating students in racial inequality and violence in America. via Fox News Dartmouth College will offer its students a spring semester course borne of the events surrounding the fatal shooting last year of an unarmed black man by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. The course, titled, “10 Weeks, 10 Professors: #BlackLivesMatter” is “dedicated to considering race, structural inequality and violence in both a historical and modern context,” The Dartmouth student newspaper reported. The lessons in the Ivy League school’s pilot course will be divided into 15 sections and involve more than 10 academic departments, including anthropology, history, mathematics, English and women’s studies, according to the paper. About 15 Dartmouth professors are expected to teach the individual sections of the class. “We hope students will be able to understand that Ferguson is not just an event in 2014, but something that’s tethered in time to a long history and still-emerging ideas about race in the U.S. and how policing works in an age of social media and distributed surveillance,” said English professor Aimee Bahng, according to The Dartmouth paper. Kudos to Dartmouth College! Hopefully other institutions will soon follow in their footsteps.
Missouri Man Charged With Felony After Racist Comment To Black Waitress A racist Missouri restaurant customer is getting exactly what he deserves after making outwardly prejudice comments towards an African-American waitress before physically assaulting her. via Fox 2 Now St. Louis A white northwest Missouri man is charged with felony assault after he allegedly confronted a black waitress as she served him breakfast. Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rice announced Wednesday that he charged 65-year-old Tommy Dean Gaa, of Maryville, with felony assault motivated by discrimination. The Maryville Daily Forum reports Gaa is accused of confronting the waitress on Sunday and grabbing her arm, causing bruising. A probable cause statement says Gaa said “I have a place I would like to take you where I hung your grandpa” and used racial slurs. Gaa was released from the Nodaway County Jail on $4,900 bond. Online records don’t indicate if he has an attorney. Rice says the comments were bad enough but Gaa crossed the line when he grabbed the waitress. This bum sounds like a real jerk. Good to know that his racist foolery won’t go unpunished.
$25k definitely isn’t the $2 million that they were going for but, hey…. Georgia Man Wins $25,000 Lawsuit After Cop Lies To Have Him Wrongfully Arrested via WALB News Georgia A multi-million dollar federal lawsuit against the Albany Police Department has been settled, after attorneys said officers jailed a man for 16 months, knowing he was innocent. Attorney James Finkelstein, who represented Richard Hayes, said they were pleased with the outcome. Court documents showed the suit was settled for $25,000. Hayes was 17 when he was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and gang participation in September 2009. The suit filed against Albany Police officer Charles Flowers said Hayes was unjustly held in the Dougherty County jail for one year and four months. Hayes agreed to a $25,000 settlement from the city on the day his $2 million lawsuit against Albany Police Officer Charles Flowers was to begin. On October 22nd, 2009, Flowers charged then 17-year old Hayes, a confessed Southside Blood gang member, with aggravated assault for a gang shootout on South Madison Street. Flowers remained in jail until March 9, 2011 when the charges were dropped. “We felt like we had a good position, but the litigation is protracted. Drags on and on. And we felt it was just in the best interest of a settlement at that level,” said Albany City Attorney Nathan Davis. Hayes’ attorney Jim Finkelstein said he and his client are “pleased” with the settlement. Hayes also asked for a jury trial in the lawsuit, which initially sought more than $2 million dollars in general and punitive damages.

Why is it imperative that you do so? We thought you’d never ask. Here are 9 reasons why you need to go see “Dear White People.”
Lindsay Lohan crawled out the sewer of irrelevance that her crackhead face and body live in…to do an editorial fashion shoot for a magazine called Wonderland…and as it turns out, with the right amount of lighting, the right quality camera, the right level of photoshop where she’s really only 10 percent LOHAN and 90 percent retouched new computer generated Lohan…something Lohan should get used to because based on her hard battered face, she’ll be a hologram at the VMAs like she was TUPAC, in no time…thanks to premature death. That said… I still think she’s amazing, I would still have unprotected sex with her everyday, hoping to get her pregnant, even tough it is safe to assume she doesn’t get her period anymore, and I believe that if she doesn’t die soon, she will win an Oscar…it’s like the affirmations she tells herself every morning – she hasn’t peaked, in fact she hasn’t even started yet, all that pre-25 year old stuff was just practice for what she has planned for us…I am in love.
I don’t know if Brittany Mason is the same Brittany Mason as the one with a Wikipedia page, who was an actress and a model, born in 1986 Indiana, who was in Maxim and Esquire and most importantly in episode 200 of Two and a Half Men playing Jason Alexander’s Secretary, a credit that makes me think maybe she wrote this wikipedia page herself, because I assume no wikipedia contributor has ever heard of her, or would think an extra gig was really anything notable…but she is a model, she did place 7th in Miss USA Live on NBC, something that would be great way to start up a sex tape career, but instead she’s gone down the activist road, but more importantly the titty for fashion shoot road that leads to great places if done properly, all while giving off the same output as being in a softcore porn, but for ego, it’s far more socially acceptable… Either way, tits, good pics, good times, I’m into it…and willing to join any cause this babe is involved in, mouth first…
This was on REDDIT under “When White People Fight”…where some racist black dude singled out white people fighting because it is hilarious – and if this was done with a white persona s black people fought it would be called racist, obviously, you know it’s all part of the plight of the white man… Apparently, it is a fight between frat boys and some dude in purple, because the dude in purple caused some shit with one of their frat brothers…. It happened at LSU, wherever the fuck that is, and the whole thing is pretty funny because of the racist black dude’s face…he’s a joker…and I guess so is this pansy ass white people fight… You know, it’s all about the fucking selfie…
