Studies Show Interracial Marriages Are On The Rise Nationally — Locally Is A Different Story

View post:

After You’re Dead And Gone, Would You Be Cool With Your Sibling Dating Your Spouse?

Former Vice President, Joe Biden confirmed the news of the relationship with the New York Post’s Page Six, “We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jill’s all and complete support and we are happy for them.” You may be wondering what the hell “N*gga I ain’t worried about nothin’” has to do with all of this. Well, I’m trying to put myself in Beau’s shoes. I’m wondering if my soul would be troubled by the fact that my sibling was now romantically involved with my spouse. A part of me thinks that I would be occupied with more pressing concerns, like how my parents and children were coping in the wake of my departure. I would like to think that I wouldn’t be tripping about the fact that two people who I loved dearly, fell in love with each other. Once you get past the salaciousness of the news, it makes sense. Hallie had just lost her husband. Hunter had just lost his brother and then left his wife. Their names both start with an H. You don’t have to think hard about how they might have ended up with one another.

After the music video for Kanye West’s “Fade” debuted at the 2016 MTV VMAs featuring Taylor working it with her “Flashdance”/”Do The Right Thing” provocative dance moves, everyone was talking about how fit and in shape she was.

[ madamenoire ] Desiigner, D.R.A.M., Lil Yachty Land Spots on Forbes Cash Prince List Forbes just dropped another one of their pocket-watcher alerts. The money magazine has revealed the 2017 iteration of their annual Cash Princes [and Princesses] list. Most of them are names that you’ve been hearing from everyday, all day, all year. Desiigner, D.R.A.M., Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert and Young M.A. are the obvious inclusions as their profiles have been hard to miss. Not obvious additions were Isaiah Rashad and Noname. The list was rounded out by British MC Stormzy [who just dropped a very dope album] and singers Tory Lanez and Bryson Tiller. How does one qualify to be on the Cash Prince list? Obviously, you have to be making some good money. Yachty for example, has secured his bag via Sprite and Target commercials as well commanding $100,000 a show. You also have to be under the age of 30 and have never appeared on the list before. The list was put together by TDE’s Dave Free, Too $hort, Brit rapper Little Simz as well as staffers from Forbes.

Neil Gorsuch: Who is This Supreme Court Nominee?

Donald Trump has made his selection. In one of the most vital decisions a President can make, the Commander-in-Chief announced on Tuesday night that Neil Gorsuch is his choice to be the next Supreme Court justice. “The most important thing the President of the United States can make is the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice, I took the task of this nomination very seriously,” Trump said in a nationally televised announced from the White House. Gorsuch – who received his undergraduate education from Columbia prior to earning his law degree from Harvard and who then went on to receive a doctorate at Oxford University – is a federal appeals court judge in Colorado. Like late justice Anton Scalia, whose seat Gorsuch will fill if he's confirmed, the nominee is considered to be an originalist when it comes to how he interprets the Constitution. He also clerked in the past for two Supreme Court justices, Byron White and Anthony Kennedy and served as a clerk on the second most important appeals court in the country, in Washington D.C., for conservative Judge David Sentelle. “He is the man of our country, a man who our country really needs, to ensure the rule of law and justice, I only hope that Democrats and Republicans can come together, for once, for the good of the country,” Trump concluded of his nominee. Gorsuch beat our finalists William Pryor and Thomas M. Hardiman for the nomination. Get to know Neil Gorsuch better below and then VOTE: Is he the right choice?

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Kinda) Apologizes For Criticizing Colin Kaepernick’s Anthem Protests

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Apologizes For Criticizing Anthem Protests Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg now wishes she would have STFU when it comes to the recent National Anthem protests lead by Colin Kaepernick reports ESPN : “Some of you have inquired about a book interview in which I was asked how I felt about Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players who refused to stand for the national anthem,” Ginsburg’s statement read. “Barely aware of the incident or its purpose, my comments were inappropriately dismissive and harsh. I should have declined to respond.” It’s the second time in recent months that the 83-year-old Ginsburg has apologized for public comments. She said her comments criticizing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in July were “ill advised.” Do you think the Court Justice’s apology was adequate or nah?
