Ain’t that bout a beyotch! Paula Deen Wins Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Via TMZ reports: In one of the most supremely ironic court decisions in a long time, a judge just threw out the racial discrimination claim filed against Paula Deen — the very lawsuit that destroyed the famous chef. A judge just ruled … Lisa Jackson had no right to claim racial discrimination, BECAUSE SHE’S WHITE! Any comments that Deen or her cohorts may have made had no legal consequence to her, because she’s simply not the right color. Jackson made a tenuous argument that someone in her family was bi-racial — something that may not be true at all. But the judge said even if it were true, she was at best an “accidental victim.” Short story — Jackson ruined Paula with a bogus claim. The case goes on, because Jackson also claims sexual discrimination, and so far there’s not basis to doubt that she’s a woman. Paula Deen may have won the lawsuit but her butter-ball empire is still destroyed. Welp!
9 times out of 10 making comparisons between social/civil injustice and ANYTHING else will end badly. Columnist For Fox Sports Makes Comparison Between Rosa Parks And Johnny Manziel For those that are unaware, Texas A&M star quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny “Fooball” Manziel landed in hot water this week for alleged NCAA rules infractions. Manziel is accused of getting paid for signing autographs. This is a direct violation of the strict standards of amateur sports that state that athletes are not to be paid, compensated, nor given favor for their services. Now that you have some context, read the bullisht that this silly broad wrote. Via FoxSports Once upon a time in this country, there were ugly, racist, tyrannical rules dictating where a black person could sit on a bus. There were all kinds of these laws, actually, created and defended by the racists who benefited from them. What kick-started change was an average, everyday woman named Rosa Parks, who had grown tired of being tired. Hers was not the first protest, nor was it particularly the best. It was merely the tipping point for many Americans long since tired of these immoral laws. On a much less historically significant scale, so it is with Johnny Football — and no, this is not intended in any way to compare the vast evil of Jim Crow to an incompetent NCAA investigation, or to slings from TV commentators. It is intended to say, wrong is wrong. Why so many came to Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel’s defense after a ticket broker went to ESPN with allegations that Manziel had broken NCAA rules and accepted payment for his autograph was because we recognize the immorality and absurdity of a system where everybody can make money off these kids except these kids. Uh, lady, comparing Jim Crow and some spoiled white kid is EXACTLY what you just did, and it’s a pretty f***ing stupid comparison seeing as how they are NOTHING alike!

Is this really safe sex? African Chief Evangelizes About Adult Circumcision To Prevent HIV/AIDS In some African countries , tribes have shunned circumcision because it was seen as a Muslim practice or was simply considered primitive. Via HuffPo reports: “We thought they were born differently and had to reconfigure the way they were,” said Mumena. So the tribal chief was not prepared for his son’s declaration that he wanted to get circumcised. Mumena read the pamphlets on circumcision’s health benefits, which argue that the procedure cuts HIV transmission by 60 percent, and agreed with his 18-year-old son. Risking impeachment by the 60,000 members of his tribe, he had the procedure done in 2011 at the age of 47. Mumena is among a growing number of Zambians opting for circumcision as a way to ward off HIV infection. In so doing, they are adding to the number of people who take on this ancient practice for cultural or religious reasons. Mumena is also a Christian, and he is finding biblical justifications for circumcision. “If it was good enough for God’s people in Leviticus, it is good enough for me,” he said. “I have made a stand for circumcision because of what the Bible has taught me. God demands good hygiene from his people as a way of living.” Mumena attends an evangelical church and is also a lay preacher. His advocacy on behalf of circumcision has brought him attention from people like Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, who has called Mumena one of Africa’s “true heroes.” Circumcision has become a popular tool to fight HIV/AIDS and cervical cancer. In 2012, the Zambian Ministry of Health launched a national campaign to circumcise 2 million men by 2015. The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has committed $11.4 million to support Zambia’s efforts. “Male circumcision is the best vaccine in Africa,” says Dr. Manasseh Phiri, a Zambian HIV/AIDS activist who was inspired by Mumena to get circumcised. Health experts also explain that circumcision is not a magic bullet. Some men assume that if they are circumcised, they have almost no risk of contracting HIV. Why would a rational person choose genital mutilation over condoms and common sense safe sex knowledge?
Kim finally comes out of hiding… Kim Kardashian Makes First Public Appearance Since Giving Birt Yesterday morning, former mommy-in-hiding Kim Kardashian announced via her Twitter page that she’d be “surprising” her mother Kris Jenner on her new talk show, which would be the first public appearance Kim has made since giving birth to baby daughter North West nearly 2 months ago . Although many were skeptical that she’d actually show since both pimp-a-ger Kris and Kimmy Cakes have been doing just about anything to get people to tune into Kris’ new talk show , it turns out that she actually wasn’t bluffing this time…..kinda. Check out the video of Kim’s hibernation hiatus below: Since they presently live in the same house, we’d highly doubt that this was a “surprise” for Kris despite her teary-eyed antics. SMH. But we gotta admit, Kimmy Cakes’ snapback game isn’t looking too bad from the neck up. Wonder when baby Nori will join her parents and come out of hiding…. WENN/Kris Jenner Show YouTube
This husband owes his wife the world…or maybe just a new truck full of balloons and baby clothes. Whatever works. Wife Catches Husband By The Leg To Stop Him From Committing Suicide A middle-aged Chinese man has his wife to thank for his life after she was photographed hanging on to him by the leg as he dangled from a sixth floor window following an apparent suicide attempt. via Gawker The wife of a suicidal man managed to prevent him from plummeting to his death by holding on to his leg for 20 minutes after he jumped out of the window of their sixth-floor apartment. Wife Prevents Husband’s Suicide with Last-Second Leg Grab According to the Chinese news portal Sohu, the 45-year-old man had recently moved with his wife and child to the northeasten city of Changchun, where he began experiencing painful work-related stress headaches and “delusions.” The symptoms allegedly motivated his decision to jump, but he was rescued at the last moment by his wife’s sharp instincts. It took police some 20 minutes to arrive at the scene, during which time the woman was forced to hold on to her husband’s leg and shorts to keep him from falling. He was eventually pulled in, just as his wife’s body was starting to give out. Dayyyuuum. It’s levels to this marriage isht…..and this wife is above EVERYBODY. Photo Credit: Sohu
