SMH: Louisiana School Principal And Coach Don Racist Costumes Mocking Black Babies And Welfare Recipients

Louisiana School Principal And Coach Don Racist Costumes Louisiana locals are angry after a racist photo featuring two educators at a costume party earlier this month. Via WTNH reports: Iota Middle School Principal Lee Ann Wall and her husband Jeptha Wall, who is a coach at Crowley High School, appear in the image. Their costumes are described as “People of Walmart.” Jeptha can be seen wearing a red bandana around his waist with a gun tucked into his belt and money coming out of his pocket. In front of Lee Ann is a basket full of black and white baby dolls and sign that read, “You wait on pay day, I be waiting for da first of da month!” The photo was sent to KLFY by a viewer who called it a “display of classism and racism.” But not everyone thinks it should be taken so seriously. Penny Fontenot lives in Iota and says sometimes a costume is just that: a costume. “If they’re teaching your children right from wrong in the schools, what does a costume have to do with it?” The news teams showed the pic to several other folks in Acadia Parish. They believe the costume choice crossed the line. “Wow, okay. So what is she trying to depict? Somebody who’s on welfare? If that is what she was trying to depict that’s even worse.” Alan Honersucker told KLFY’s Dalfred Jones. Nathan Kresge, who also live in Iota said, “To make fun of people that just can’t afford a better way of life, to make fun of them? That’s just ridiculous!” Ellan Baggett, the Executive Director of Operations with the Acadia Parish School Board, says it was a private party, not school related. Bagget also said the school board has taken appropriate action, although she could not tell us what those actions were. Do you think the educators should be fired?? Continue reading

#WeStandWithAhmed: Clock-Making Boy Genius Set To Leave This Racist Land To Study On Scholarship In Qatar

Texas Teen Arrested Over Homemade Clock To Study In Qatar Turns out being arrested had a silver lining for Ahmed Mohamed , the gifted Texas teen who was jailed earlier this year over a homemade clock administrators at his school found suspicious. Ahmed hung out with President Obama and other talented students for Astronomy Night at the White House Monday and Tuesday announced he’ll be studying abroad on scholarship! Via US Weekly reports: Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old who made headlines in September after being arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school, is moving out of the country, his family announced on Tuesday, Oct. 20. “After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development for Ahmed to join the prestigious QF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organization’s on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity,” the family said in a statement. Mohamed’s story was picked up by numerous news outlets after the Muslim teen was handcuffed and accused of bringing a bomb — his homemade clock — to his Irving, Texas, school. Many high-profile names came forward to defend and encourage the creative young man, including Mark Zuckerberg, President Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. Obama had personally invited Ahmed to the White House after the teen was arrested. Irving police later said they would not be charging the young man with any crime. We are so happy for him!!! Looks like the world is really Ahmed’s oyster right now and we hope he continues to make his family and all his supporters proud. IT WAS AMAZING, AND A HONOR MEETING #PRESIDENT #OBAMA !!! #YOY #THEWHITEHOUSE pic.twitter.com/OIuXjFVLZe — Ahmed Mohamed (@IStandWithAhmed) October 20, 2015 Hit the flip for more on what Ahmed has been doing since his story broke!

Celebrity Seeds: Jaden Smith Talks To GQ About All The Weird Thoughts That Are Running Through His Mind

GQ Interviews Jaden Smith About His Philosphies On Life And His Future Jaden Smith has left many of us scratching our heads over the past several years. His constantly evolving state of mind has led to hard-to-decipher tweets, questionable fashion choices, and some of the strangest interviews we’ve ever read. In his new sit-down with GQ he talks about…well, we don’t know what the hell is talking about, but it’s fascinating to read. “Mystery School” “Me and my sister started this initiative called Mystery School. It dates back to like ancient Egypt, ancient Greece—like Plato, Pythagoras, all these students had mystery schools. And what they learned in there was sacred. They would learn the math and sciences of that generation, and then they would build the cities and give that energy and that knowledge to the other people. And a lot of stuff they would keep really, really to themselves. Like, you couldn’t say the word dodecahedron, which is just a shape, outside of one of the mystery schools or they would, like, kill you or whatever. Because it was such a sacred shape.” Being A “Scientist” “Me and Willow are scientists,” he explains, “so everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity. And luckily we’re put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings at one time.” Fame is their lab, is what he’s saying, and we are the subjects. He’ll get on Twitter and tweet something like “The Biggest Flex Anyone Will Ever Have Is Dying.” Or the T Magazine interview they did last year, the one that left everyone convinced they were drunk on prana energy: “That experiment—it went really, really well,” he tells me. “We got to see how people reacted. And they actually ended up reacting exactly as we predicted beforehand that they would react.” He gives a sly smile. “It’s fun, bro. That’s what a lot of people don’t realize. It’s fun. It’s so much fun. It’s the best thing. People think you’re crazy—I feel like it’s an honor, actually, for people to think I’m crazy. Because they thought Galileo was crazy, too, you know what I’m saying? I don’t think I’m as revolutionary as Galileo, but I don’t think I’m not as revolutionary as Galileo.” Flip the page to hear how Jaden and Willow are planning to inspire a whole generation of kids… Images via Eric Ray Davidson/GQ Continue reading

Athletes & Hoes: Ex-Louisville Ballers Admit To Attending School Sponsored Sex Parties [Video]

Ex-University Of Louisville Basketball Players Admit To Sex With School Sponsored Hoes 5 ex-University of Louisville ballers and recurits have copped to chopping down p*$$y-poppin’ strippers at sex soirées sponsored by an assistant coach named Andre Mcgee, says ESPN. One of those stripper hoes was 42-year-old Katina Powell who has released a tell-all book about her sexcapades at U of L called, Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen . Riveting title, right? Anyway, Powell says that this Andre Mcgee character dropped 10 stacks (or “bands” as they are referred to in the modern vernacular *T.I. voice*) on her to round up some slutwalkers and come serve the youth of America some azz. The school’s iconic head coach, Rick Pitino, maintains that he was completely ignorant to any of this, but he’s under heavy fire from those who are lookin’ at him like “MmmmmmOhMyGod…”. “I can say 100 percent sure, with zero doubt, that (Rick Pitino) knew nothing about any of these alleged incidents,” Richard Pitino told ESPN. Pitino told ESPN earlier this month he has denied having any knowledge of the parties: “Not myself, not one player, not one trainer, not one assistant, not one person knew anything about any of this,” the Hall of Fame coach said. “If anyone did, it would have been stopped on a dime. Not one person knew anything about it.” This is about to get real ugly. Hear Katina tell the story in the video below. http://player.espn.com/player.js?playerBrandingId=4ef8000cbaf34c1687a7d9a26fe0e89e&adSetCode=91cDU6NuXTGKz3OdjOxFdAgJVtQcKJnI&pcode=1kNG061cgaoolOncv54OAO1ceO-I&width=576&height=324&externalId=espn:13926514&thruParam_espn-uiautoPlay=false&thruParam_espn-uiplayRelatedExternally=true We’ve all seen Spike Lee’s He Got Game , we’re not Ray Charles to the idea that these thirsty colleges will do just about anything to get a talented (see, “black”) kid to come run fast and jump high for their school. As for Katina, gotta get the cash, gotta get the dough, right? Smh. Image via AP/ESPN

  Really??? Our Presidential Candidates Beef Over Twitter Apparently Republican Presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Donald Trump think Twitter is the place to handle conflict. In a recent interview with Daily Mail , Donald made some side-eye worthy comments about 9/11 and pretty much blamed George Bush for letting the tragedy happen at all.  Here’s a snippet of his statement: “When you talk about George Bush – I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.” He added, “He was president, okay?” “Blame him or don’t blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.” Jeb didn’t take too kindly to the comments made about his big brother.  He headed straight to twitter and called Trump “pathetic” and that was all she wrote.  Peep the pics below: Since when did it become okay for politicians to argue over twitter??

That doesn’t corroborate with the officer’s story. Continue reading

Lamar Odom Went on Week-Long Bender Before Checking Into Brothel: Report

As you’ve probably heard, Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada on Tuesday night. The former NBA star is currently comatose, with family by his side and fans left to piece together the story of how he got to this sad point. Not surprisingly, his past few days have not been pretty. Sources at the brothel say Odom was on a bender in the days leading up to his death, the details/extent of which are downright scary to read. Indulging in cocaine, opiates, alcohol and drug-fuelled sex with prostitutes, the 35-year-old was spiraling out of control and putting his life at risk. According to Radar , Love Ranch employees only saw the tail end of a sex and drugs binge that may have been going on for quite some time.  Workers at various hot spots in the Las Vegas area tell Radar that Lamar had been partying non-stop for weeks before he collapsed.  “He was spending money like crazy and partying here in our VIP room for a week straight,” says an employee at the Spearmint Rhino strip club. “I heard he was just blowing through money like crazy.” “He was making all the girls drink and party with him.” View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind Other insiders say at the famous adult club say that Lamar was blowing through upwards of $5,000 a day on liquor and lap dances . He also developed a reputation as a difficult customer: “My boss asked me to entertain him, but I refused cause I heard he was difficult and demanding,” says one dancer, who asked not to be named. “A lot of girls refused to work for him.” Regardless of whether these stories are true, Odom is lucky to be alive, having briefly died at the brothel before being revived by medics. Sadly, in the two days since he was hospitalized, Lamar’s condition has only deteriorated, and doctors now say he has about a 50/50 chance of survival . We’ll keep you updated on Lamar’s condition as more details are available, but his prognosis is worsening, and his story getting sadder by the minute.

Jamie Zimmerman Dies; ABC News Medical Correspondent Was 31

Jamie Zimmerman – the medical doctor and journalist best known for her work with ABC News – has passed away at the age of 31. Sources say Zimmerman drowned while vacationing in Hawaii. “Jamie touched so many of us across ABC News,” wrote network president Goldston in a message to employees. “We will miss her. Jamie had a passion to make the world a better place and help all of us lead better lives.” In addition to her on-air work at ABC, Zimmerman was a regular contributor to Huffington Post, Yahoo News and PBS. Though tremendously knowledgeable on the topic of medicine, Zimmerman was also remarkably well-rounded.  She studied anthropology and film at UCLA and got her medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine last year. As a teen, she acted on such popular series as 7th Heaven and Boston Public. But for all of her accomplishments, family and friends say she was most proud of her work on global health initiatives that recently brought her to the most troubled areas of Haiti and the Congo. “My little girl was always trying to do too much,” Jamie’s mother wrote on Facebook. “She wanted to write books and already had a literary agent. She just couldn’t stop taking on more. It’s as if she knew her time was limited and she was trying to fit it all in!” She added that she hopes her daughter’s life will inspire others to make the world a better place.
