Ryanair is catching hella flak over a recent racial incident that took place on one their flights from from Barcelona to London on Friday. A white old man apparently had an issue with a 77-year old Black woman sitting in the same row as him, so in true racist Wypipo fashion, he raised hell. He said to the Jamaican woman, “Don’t talk to me in a foreign language, you stupid ugly cow! Ugly black bastard.” The passenger who filmed the disgusting incident, David Lawrence, told Newsweek he was unhappy with the airline’s response which he described as “absolutely incompetent and unprofessional. Ryanair doesn’t care.” Instead of kicking the man off the flight, the airline asked the woman to move to another seat, in order to keep the peace. After being called out for being careless and unprofessional, Ryanair has since turned the issue over to Essex police. SMH.
Some States Are Enforcing Certain Laws About Trick-or-Treating Though nobody is too old to enjoy some good old-fashioned holiday fun, some communities across the country have decided to enforce trick-or-treat age restrictions for Halloween . Those who violate these restrictions, according to where they’re located, can end up facing some pretty serious consequences. For one example, the city of Chesapeake, Virginia, has declared that anyone over the age of 12 is legally prohibited from going door-to-door seeking free candy. The ordinance code states that anyone who breaks the order could be slapped with a $100 fine, a misdemeanor charge, and up to six months in jail. That means that a child as young as 13-years-old could actually be locked up for participating in a holiday tradition. According to the Associated Press , local governments in places including Maryland, South Carolina, and Mississippi have implemented similar restrictions, and it has sparked outrage among both kids and parents in those areas. Not too surprisingly, there’s even a petition calling for a repeal of the Chesapeake law. An excerpt of the petition reads: “ Sure, there are a few bad apples out there who are more interested in the trick part of Halloween, rather than the treat — but should that ruin the fun for everyone? And should a minor ever face jail time for something as innocuous as trick-or-treating? We don’t think so.” The City of Chesapeake ended up issuing a statement in response to the criticism and pointing out that the trick-or-treat age limit has been in place for 45 years now. “In that time, no one has been arrested or charged with any crime under this Ordinance. Chesapeake Police officers will not impede persons who are clearly over the age of 12 from trick or treating, provided that they are doing so in an otherwise lawful, safe, and secure manner,” the statement reads. So there you have it. Do you think trick-or-treating should have an age limit?

Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Pete Davidson Denies Sending Mac Miller Photos Before His Death If you internet much, by now you’ve likely scrolled past a story or ALL CAPS SOCIAL MEDIA POST claiming that before his untimely death, Mac Miller received some emotionally damaging photos from his ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande’s new fiance Pete Davidson. The rumor claims that Pete sent Mac Miller intimate photos of himself and Ariana, aiming to destroy any hope the rapper had of rekindling his long-term relationship with the singer. If you’ll recall, Ariana and Pete went public as a couple just days after Ariana and Mac announced their split…and became engaged just weeks after that. Well, a rep for Pete Davidson claims to Page Six that there is “absolutely no truth to that rumor.” What do you think? We’re inclined to believe Pete on this one because if that were the case, it’s likely that news would have spilled almost immediately or at least very soon after Mac’s death, not a month later when Pete and Ariana split up.

The situation began after officers received a call about unruly teens who had been harassing other shoppers. Police said the 14-year-old was seen pushing another teen.

Image via Shannon Fagan White Woman Calls Cops On Black Father For Talking To Soccer Player Son Apparently, we as Black people can’t enjoy simple activities like watching our children play soccer without fear of having the police called on us. According to ABCNews , some wilted, WASPy woman who works as a “field marshal”, whatever-the-f**k THAT is, alerted deputies to a Black man who was allegedly harrassing a referee. Here’s what ACTUALLY happened. The referee made what was descibed as a bad call, the father ran out to tell his son not to worry about it and play ball. This Zimmerman-esque field heffa decided that she had to slather her mayo mindset all over the situation by intervening. The unidentified father told the field heffa that he wasn’t talking to the ref, but rather his son. The father even offered to rectify the situation on his own accord to avoid trouble. “They had a bad call with my son and … I said, ‘Hey, the ref was right.’ She thought I was yelling at the ref. So, she came over and I was like, ‘No ma’am, I was yelling at my son. Nobody else,’” the father is heard telling deputies who responded to the scene. This miserable bish STILL called the cops. At this point another white woman, Ginger Williams, began filming the father’s interaction with the cops because she heard the field heffa utter the classic phrase that white women say when interacting with Black men: “I no longer feel safe due to your threatening behavior.” Luckily, Williams and several other parents spoke to the cop to assure him that the field heffa was full of s#!t. Ultimately the father was not detained and all was well. But imagine how far left this COULD have gone…
