Bill O’Reilly Insults Single Black Mothers GOP goon affiliate and babbling bigot Bill O’Reilly was is back on his best bullisht. Joining in with the likes of many of his fellow Conservative closet racists, O’Reilly recently lashed out at the black community, claiming that black people blame white people for their biggest problems when they blame should be placed on themselves. via News One Conservative media’s current favorite brand of crock Bill O’Reilly is continuing on with his uninformed and highly disingenuous rant about the plight of the Black community — purportedly spurred by all the single ladies (“all the single ladies”) raising children. After President Barack Obama’s remarks about Trayvon Martin, O’Reilly became “enraged,” because the speech, according to him, didn’t address the “real” problems facing Blacks. O’Reilly, in all his pedantic glory, explained: “The reason is the collapse of the traditional African-American family unit; 50 years ago when Blacks had it much worse than they had it now, 25 percent of Black babies were born out of wedlock. Today, the number is close to 75 percent. That is catastrophic. But the civil rights industry and the White power fracture basically ignore the problem. They also ignore the entertainment industry putting out vile products aimed at young people, some of whom incorporate the gangster culture in to their own lives.” He continued, “White people don’t force Black people to have babies out of wedlock. That’s a personal decision. A decision that has devastated millions of children and led to disaster, both socially and economically.” At the root of O’Reilly’s rant was his obvious lack of GAF about black single mothers. However, we’re confused as to how black women having babies before marriage justifies George Zimmerman being acquitted for senselessly murdering an unarmed black teenager who came from a 2-parent home. SMH. Anywho, since he did take it there, what are your thoughts on O’Reilly’s comments Bossip fam? Does he have a point or should we put him at the tip top of the ‘ho sit down’ list?

Dear Bossip , I have been dealing with this guy that I met about two years ago. He was my manager at my job. We began dating (which was against policy) and fast forward a few months and I’m pregnant. He was a pretty decent guy. That’s when things started to change. He started to go missing on several different occasions for days at a time. I quit my job because I got pregnant and found a new job. He told me to take it because I made more money even though it was far out and I don’t drive. He ended up going back on his promise to make sure I got to work so I had to quit. I couldn’t stand the two-hour bus ride in the heat every day. I was out of a job, pregnant, lacking the knowledge of my boyfriend’s whereabouts and not to mention extremely emotional. I was six months pregnant walking up and down the street looking for him. I didn’t want anything but to be held. Calling his phone all hours to see if he would answer. Dealing with his baby mamma drama that he couldn’t seem to get under control. All I wanted was for him to be with me and love me as much as I loved him. And for him to just acknowledge the fact that I was pregnant and excited about that he should be too. I go to his apartment and seen his other baby mother’s car out front and got the idea. When I would confront him he would basically act like he didn’t know anything. Fast forward and I’m in the hospital. After I just had my baby I’m wondering if the drama with his baby mother is still going on. They’re texting in the middle of the night while we’re at the hospital. He’s leaving the hospital to go talk to her. Blah. Blah. Blah. I felt alone. This man broke my heart. I loved him. But he didn’t love me. Fast forward to now. My son is six months. His dad wants to always be around me. Twenty-four seven. He wants a relationship. Do everything for me. Take vacations. Buy me things. But I don’t want any of it. He put me through so much pain. He is as sweet as he could be now. Crying telling me how he has changed. Blah. Blah. Blah. I feel bad for him sometimes, but then I think, why should I? I gave him my whole heart and he didn’t want it. So, now I’m taking my -ish back. But why do I feel so bad? I just want to let him go and all the pain he has caused me. All the nights I sat up crying over him are all a thing of the past. The love I have for him is gone. But, he just won’t let me let him go. Everyone criticizes me for not wanting to be with him now. Even my own mother. Saying things like, ‘You’re going to need him one day.” But, in my mind I’m thinking, why? When I needed him he wasn’t there so just because he cares now, I should too? So my question for you is, am I right for not caring? For wanting to date other men? For wanting my own happiness that doesn’t involve him? I’m tired of the lies, hurt, and baby mama drama. I just want to be free. – Wanting Happiness Dear Ms. Wanting Happiness , Ma’am, I’m truly sorry for the pain, agony, and hurt you endured with this man who led you to believe one thing and did another. He basically left you pregnant, walking the streets looking for him, encouraging you to leave the job for one that is further out, but did not help you with transportation and you had to quit. Then, on top of all this he filled your head with lies, and he was untrustworthy. He continued an ongoing relationship with his other baby momma, and while you’re in the hospital giving birth to his child, he is texting and calling his other baby momma. WOW! He is trifling, low-down, and a scum bag of a human. So, no, you don’t owe him anything. You don’t have to do anything but go to court and have him put on child support and make sure he is actively involved with his child’s life. You don’t have to engage with him other than making sure he abides by the visitation you set up with him about his child, and being an active father-figure to his child. It’s unfortunate you don’t have support from family and friends. They want you to continue to endure the drama and stress not knowing all the drama and stress he put you through. Just because he’s recently coming back around and saying he’s sorry, and that he’s changed, and bringing gifts and wants to be a family. Don’t let your family and friends bully you into going back into an unhealthy and unwanted relationship that you know is no good for you. They only see what’s happening on the outside. They did not endure or experience what he put you through. So, don’t fall for the, “Girl, he is a good man. He wants you. He’s apologizing. And, you’re going to need him one day.” Uhm, actually, you are the good woman, and he needs you because his other baby momma put his a** out and doesn’t want anything to do with him. That’s the real tea! He has nowhere else to go, so he is going to turn to the one place and the one person who wanted him. That’s you! He doesn’t realize the collateral damage he did when he put you through all that bull-ish. He thinks he can just show up and say, “I’m sorry. I want you and need you.” And, you will welcome him with open arms. No ma’am! Not tuhday! Girl, that will last all of about a good month and he will back to doing his old antics and his old behaviors. Trust! Don’t go back and don’t look back. Continue moving forward. Remember this one thing, never make someone a priority in your life when you are an option in theirs. Don’t allow yourself to be someone’s doormat. You’re too good for that. And, your emotions and feelings matter. They are not disposable or arbitrary. So, all that he’s done to you shows you the type of person he is. And, as you’re moving forward keep this in the forefront of your thoughts: Are you supposed to forget what he did, how he made you feel, and the days and nights he disappeared. Are you supposed to forget walking in the heat pregnant looking for him. You are supposed to forget taking the two-hour bus ride to a job he said he would provide you with transportation. Are you supposed to forget his baby momma staying at his apartment when you went looking for him and discovered her car. Are you supposed to forget he was texting and calling his baby momma while in you were in the hospital, and right after you gave birth to his child. Are you supposed to forget the heartache, the pain, the emotional, mental, and physical stress you caused you. So, continue to move forward without him. Replenish yourself spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. You went above and beyond for a man who did not go above and beyond for you. It’s time to focus on you and your child. Go back to school, empower yourself, and surround yourself with positive affirming people who will continue to encourage and uplift you. You don’t need anyone or anybody in your life dragging you down, making you feel guilty, or not encouraging and supporting you. Get rid of the excess baggage. Then, put him on child support through the courts. Set a visitation plan, and let him know that the only communication you wish to engage in are around your child. Do not call about your private life, getting back together, and hearing how sorry he is or any of apologies. You get it, he’s sorry. Literally. Forgive him and thank him for the valuable lesson he taught you, and you’re going to use the lesson to do better, be better, and stay better. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

WTF?!?! Florida Man Killed By SWAT After Taking Hostages In An Apartment Complex Via NYDailyNews A gunman holding hostages inside a South Florida apartment complex killed six people before being shot to death by a SWAT team that stormed the building early Saturday following an hours-long standoff, police said. Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez told The Associated Press that police got a call around 6:30 p.m. Friday that shots had been fired in a building with dozens of apartments in Hialeah, just a few miles north of Miami. Rodriguez said that when police arrived, they discovered an active shooter situation: “He’s inside the building, moving from floor to floor. Eventually he barricades himself in an apartment.” A crisis team was able to briefly establish communication with the man. Rodriguez said negotiators and a SWAT team tried talking with him from the other side of the door of an apartment unit where he was holding two hostages. But Rodriguez said the talks eventually “just fell apart.” Officers stormed the building, fatally shooting the gunman in an exchange of gunfire. “They made the decision to go in there and save and rescue the hostages,” Rodriguez said. Both hostages survived. Rodriguez said he didn’t have any information on how long negotiations lasted. If we didn’t know any better we’d say the mental health of people in America is rapidly deteriorating… He said police discovered two people, a male and female, shot to death in the hallway in front of one unit. Three more, a male and two females, were found shot and killed in another apartment on a different floor. Another man who was walking his children into an apartment across the street also was killed. Rodriguez said it wasn’t immediately clear whether the gunman took aim at him from an upper-level balcony or if he was hit by a stray bullet. Zulima Niebles said police told her that three of her family members were among the victims. She said her sister Merly Sophia Niebles, her sister’s husband, and her sister’s daughter Priscila Perez, 16, were all shot and killed. R.I.P. to those that lost their lives, our thoughts are with the family, friends and community affected. Image via Shutterstock Continue reading →
So sad… Long Beach Mother Shot Dead On Son’s 3rd Birthday Via CBS A 23-year-old mother was shot and killed Thursday in Long Beach as she dropped off her three-year-old son at the home of a relative, police said. Jazzmine Wash, of Long Beach, died at the scene of the crime in the 500 block of Walnut Avenue about 6:20 a.m., Long Beach police said. Authorities responded to a shots fired call and arrived to the scene to find the victim in the courtyard of the apartment complex where she had dropped off her child. “The police woke us up and I heard gunshots. Four or five gunshots,” a neighbor told CBS2/KCAL9′s Michele Gile. Wash had walked out of the apartment to get a diaper bag when residents in the area heard several shots fired, according to Sgt. Aaron Eaton. “She came outside of the apartment to gather a bag, what was described as a diaper bag, and was shot multiple times in her upper torso. The suspects fled the scene and the fire department came and unfortunately she was pronounced dead here at the scene,” he said. Police have not yet determined a motive for the shooting or whether the victim knew her killer, or killers. Neighbor Shawn Malloy said Wash was a single mother who had recently started working at Walmart in order to support her son. He said she planned to celebrate his third birthday later today. “She was affectionate with her son… very reserved. Good neighbor. Always said hello, friendly. A real nice person, you know, single mom. Struggling. Just started work. Today was the little boy’s birthday. It is really sad. We are heartbroken,” he said. We can’t imagine the pain Jazzmine’s family are feeling right now, our thoughts and prayers are with them. Image via Shutterstock Continue reading →
This is a damn shame. Train Operator In Spain Derailment Bragged About Going Too Fast On Facebook According to The NY Post Not only was one of the operators of the Spanish train that fatally derailed Wednesday going way too fast, he also found time to brag about it on Facebook. Francisco Jose Garzon Amo posted photos of the train’s speedometer on the social networking site, according to Spain media outlet El Pais. Garzon is in custody at a hospital where he is recovering from minor injuries. The accident claimed the lives of at least 80 people. Garzon, 52, posted a photo of the speedometer reading 200 km/h (125 mph). He responded to a friend who commented on the picture: “If I went any faster, they’d fine me.” A screengrab was obtained by Gawker.com and then later removed from Garzon’s Facebook. “What fun it would be to drive side-by-side the police and then pass them by, triggering the speed radar,” Garzon added. “Haha, bit of a fine or [train operator] Renfe, ha ha!” Garzon, a 30-year veteran of Spain’s national rail network, radioed in right before the crash saying the train was going “190” km/h (120 mph). An Associated Press analysis of video images suggests the train may have been traveling at twice the speed limit, or more, along that curved stretch of track. Spain’s government said two probes have been launched into the train’s derailment Wednesday night on its approach to this Christian festival city in northwest Spain, where planned celebrations in honor of one of Jesus’ disciples gave way to a living nightmare. The regional government in Galicia confirmed that police planned to question Garzon, in Santiago de Compostela’s main hospital with unspecified injuries, as both a witness and as a possible suspect, but cautioned that possible faults in safety equipment were also being investigated. The Interior Ministry raised the death toll to 80 in what was Spain’s deadliest train wreck in four decades. The Galician government said 94 others remained hospitalized in six regional hospitals, 31 of them — including four children — in critical condition. The U.S. State Department said one American was killed in the crash and five others were injured. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said those numbers were “likely to change” and declined to elaborate. “Today the American people grieve with our Spanish friends, who are in our thoughts and prayers,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. If he would have spent less time on Facebook bragging, people would still be alive.
Bruce Springsteen performed a concert in Ireland yesterday, but the singer’s thoughts were clearly on a major story taking place in America: The George Zimmerman verdict that acquitted this Florida resident in the wake of his shooting of Trayvon Martin. Springsteen performed “American Skin (41 Shots),” telling the crowd before doing so: “I want to send this out as a letter back home, for justice for Trayvon Martin.” Bruce Springsteen – “41 Shots” The track was penned in 1999 after New York City police officers shot and killed an unarmed man named Amadou Diallo. Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian Tweeted her thoughts on Martin, but got in a lot of trouble for doing so. We doubt The Boss will face the same backlash.
YMCMB’s resident cake-shaker cops a squat and lets it all hang out. Oh boy… Nicki Minaj Covers The New Issue Of Marie Claire Via MarieClaire On her natural hair Maire Claire: “Will you ever do a video with your real, beautiful hair?” I ask the woman known for her arsenal of outlandish wigs. Nicki Minaj: “Yes,” she says with a nod that sends cascades of blonde ringlets (not her own) into motion around her flawless face. On her relationship with her fans and social media “With social media, there’s a difference in the fan-artist relationship,” she says. “When someone can hear you speaking through your thoughts and words, they get to make a very quick judgment—quicker than they’d have been able to make in the ’80s or ’90s. They get to feel: Are you real? Is this you? I tell my Barbz, ‘You guys know the difference between rap, play, and dead-ass serious.’ They know the difference between those three Nickis. And they’re so smart. They teach me every day. They’re the meat and potatoes of who Nicki Minaj is.” “I’m very aware that millions of people on Twitter have no idea what we’re talking about,” she says of the gobbledygook conversations she carries on with her Barbz. That’s because “we kind of have our own language. I used to think it was just a Queens language or a New York language or an East Coast language, but now it’s a Barb Nation language. I have South African Barbz. Japanese. German. Saudi Arabian. You can be a Barb wherever you live.” You hear that? Even you grown-azz 40-year-old women can live your 2nd childhood and become a “Barb”. SMH Flip it over to read about Nicki’s “secret boo” and what she has to say about her future as an actress. Continue reading →
Amanda Bynes is in love. She said it herself. Not long after demanding a million dollars (from whom, it’s not clear) for illegal use of her brain, she shared this uplifting, intriguing piece of news. “I’m In Love With Someone Else Who I Do Not Follow on Twitter Who Is The Most Gorgeous Man I Know,” she tweeted . “But Drake Comes In Second.” Drake, if he were reading this, would probably be a bit confused. After all, just prior to tweeting about the rapper coming in second place, she mused “Drake Is The Most Gorgeous Man On The Face Of The Earth.” Eh, if you’re not on the Amanda Bynes ugly list , just call it a win. Then there’s another Drake – Bell – who Tweeted his former co-star after her declaration of love, implying (jokingly) that HE is The One for Ms. Bynes: Well played there, alternate Drake. So very well played indeed. Who do you think Amanda’s soul mate is? Do you think he’s aware she exists? And how long will it be until she calls him ugly in a Twitter tirade?

Wankster azz Aaron Hernandez not only ruined his own life, but ultimately the lives of many, many others… Odin Lloyd’s Sister Speaks Out For The First Time Since His Murder Via ABCNews A star football player is in jail, charged with murder. Another man was sent to the same jail today on related weapons charges. And a third man in Florida turned himself in after authorities labeled him an “accessory after murder.” Lost in the haze of fast-moving developments is a 27-year-old Connecticut man named Odin Lloyd. Massachusetts prosecutors say Lloyd, a semi-pro football player, was a friend of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez – that is until Hernandez allegedly murdered him in cold blood on June 17. Lloyd is to be mourned at funeral services today. In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Lloyd’s sister broke her silence to remember the brother she knew. “I’m still trying to process what’s going on,” Olivia Thibou said. “I feel like I relive every day in my dreams. I go to sleep and I relive everything that’s broadcast on TV. I relive the night that we found out. I relive just everything. Even when I’m sleeping at night, I feel like it’s just a bad dream I’m not waking up from.” We can’t even begin to imagine what that kind of pain feels like… Thibou teared up recalling the words uttered by prosecutors. But she acknowledged that Lloyd and Hernandez were friends. “I do know that they were friends,” she said, though she didn’t want to say more. Because of that friendship, Thibou said she’s having a hard time understanding how her brother could have met the end he did. “It’s confusing,” she said. “I don’t think there’s anything that any man can do to have their life taken away. So I can’t even begin to process everything. It still feels like yesterday, that we just found out.” Lloyd’s sister said the football was her brother’s life even though he wasn’t fortunate enough to make a living at it the way Hernandez did (the Patriots released Hernandez right after he was arrested Wednesday). “He wanted to go to college and play football but, unfortunately, because of financial aid issues, he never ended up starting it,” she said, “and he ended up just joining the work force to raise money and see if he could go back to school.” R.I.P. Odin Lloyd, our thoughts and prayers continue to be with his family and friends. You can go HERE to watch Olivia’s interview in it’s entirety. Image via ABCNews Continue reading →
