Via EnStarz : Hip Hollywood caught up with the former Cleveland Cavaliers star who is now an aspiring rapper. “I mean we’ve naturally been talking about it. But that’s a big step being as though we’ve separated. She loves what I’m doing, she loves my stuff.” Still, he added they have lots of work to do with one another before jumping on a track together. “We first gotta get in a better space personally. We work together on stuff all the time. It would be natural. But to open it up to the public with everything we’ve been through, that’s gonna take a little more work.” He went on to open up about the battle the two had on Twitter and Instagram after she outed him for hooking up with other women while trying to get back with her. “It really shouldn’t happen like that. But with social media being so important these days it kinda just happens. We’re in a great space as friends and I wanna keep it that way so we can continue to raise my son the right way.” He dished on what fans can expect from his career outside of basketball. Do you think Keyshia and Boobie should make sweet music together in the studio?
Black Family Receives Hateful Note From Racist White Neighbors Police on Long Island say their hate crimes unit is investigating an anonymous note sent to a black resident asking her and her family to leave the town, which the letter said is “84 percent white.” Via NBC New York : “ATTN: AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILY,” the all-caps note read. “THIS IS COMING FROM LINDENHURST COMMUNITY.” “YOU DON’T BELONG HERE,” the letter continued. “PLEASE LEAVE LINDENHURST AS SOON AS YOU CAN. IT WILL BE BETTER FOR ALL OF US.” The letter urged the woman to find a town “WHERE THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU,” and ended with, “SORRY IF THIS IS RUDE, BUT IT’S THE TRUTH.” Darcell Copes lives in the home with her three grown children and five young grandchildren. “I went from being fearful, protecting my family, to being totally confused, and wanted to know who and why,” she told NBC 4 New York Friday. “Today, it becomes even deeper: is it someone in the school district, is it the guy at the corner store, is it my neighbor down the street? Where?” Daughter Ronica Copes uploaded a photo of the menacing, hateful letter to Facebook, and the image has since been shared more than 1,500 times. Dozens of Facebook commenters expressed outrage about the letter, postmarked May 19. “Sooooo, I’m checking my mail and when I come across this I can’t help but laugh… wait, it’s not funny though,” Ronica Copes wrote on her Facebook page. “Where they do that at? Oh yeah Lindenhurst. Unbelievable but then it’s not … our daily reality, I’ve just never seen it in this form.” The Copes said they’ve been receiving support from the community. The family has lived in the home for two years and say they hadn’t experienced overt racism in the past since moving there — but the letter is proof that alive and well in 2015, and they’re not shocked. Babylon Town and Lindenhurst Village condemned the letter for its “racist hateful views” in a joint statement obtained by Lindenhurst Patch Friday. You can’t be serious!

The White House Called The “Ni**a House” On Google Maps Folks are outraged and are waiting for a clear explanation for this mess! Twitter users discovered that when you search “N*gga House” on google maps, The White Hous e, where The Obama’s reside, pops up. We have no idea who is the culprit behind this racist act but someone needs to explain something and soon. TMZ reports: It’s shocking … if you type in ‘N***a House’ in the search bar a map pops up showing a map of D.C. highlighting The White House. For some reason people in the D.C. area can also type in the full slur, with an “er” and get the same result. It’s unclear if someone hacked into Google or if there’s a rogue employee. A Google spokesperson tells TMZ … “We apologize for any offense this may have caused. Our teams are working to fix this issue quickly.” Didn’t they see the Baltimore footage??
Florida Man Runs Through Airport In Underwear And Nunchucks A man clad only in his underwear was tased last week after he dashed into the main concourse of Tallahassee Regional Airport claiming he had a plane to catch. Via Tallahassee : Police made contact with 26-year-old Chris Haynes after he sped into the airport’s main entrance and left his vehicle unattended in the drop-off loading zone just before 4 a.m. May 5. Haynes made a statement about having a plane to catch as he continued toward the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint, ignoring multiple commands to stop, court records show. Haynes was tased in the back and the buttocks before he was arrested. He was uninjured and was not in possession of an airline ticket. The police report says Haynes possessed nunchukas, but a Tallahassee Police Department spokesman said an officer made an error in writing the report. Haynes did not have any weapons. The officer who tased Haynes wanted to stop him before he could reach the airport terminal. He wrote in the report he was unsure how close other officers were. “The TSA checkpoint is not secure and the subject may have been able to access the air side of the airport terminal,” the police report says. Airport director Chris Curry said airport runway traffic does not begin until around 6 a.m. on average and there was no impact on operations. Haynes told police he knew the officer was telling him to stop and that he would be tased. After he was detained, he said, “I kinda always wanted to be tased.” He also told the officer his name was God and “was deep within sleep, like beyond sleep.” Police were unable to tell if Haynes was under the influence at the time, court records say. An airport baggage porter told police he saw Haynes pull into the airport, heard him say he had a plane to catch and also corroborated the officer’s commands for him to stop. You can’t be serious!!!!!!!
