Season 3 Of Netflix’s ‘Dear White People’ To Premier This Summer

Continue reading here:

Source: Netflix / Netflix Media Center While most of us are impatiently waiting for the return of FX’s Atlanta and HBO’s Insecure —  two shows taking a year-long break — there is some good news on the horizon. Netflix has finally announced a premiere date of its show  Dear White People.  Dear White People is about the experiences of a group of black students who struggle through a myriad of interpersonal and racially charged conflicts on the fictional Ivy League campus, Winchester University. Season 2 ended with what seemed like the entire black community on campus showing up to protest Rikki Carter’s speech while Samantha (Logan Browning) and Lionel (DeRon Horton) searched for a secret society on the Winchester campus — Order of X. When Sam and Lionel get to the meeting spot, no one is there. They begin flipping out until a figure emerges from the shadows. It’s Giancarlo, the show’s narrator, and that’s where we’re left off. The show’s third season, which will be released in its entirety on August 2, will take place in the Spring instead of the Fall like the first two seasons. In Season 3, we should learn about what Giancarlo’s role in the Order of X, if he even has one, and what’s next for CoCo, Troy and the rest of the crew. Following Season 2, Justin Simien, the show’s creator, told EW that he won’t say anything about the Order of X, but loved including the narrator in the story. “Now whether or not they’re real and whether or not Giancarlo has anything to do with that, I won’t say, but I will say I was salivating at the thought of [putting] the narrator in the narrative,” he said. To announce the premiere date of  Dear White People,  some members of the cast weighed in on an age-old debate: sweet or savory grits. You can watch the video below:

Summa Cum LOUD-e: Black Woman Named Marijuana Pepsi Takes High Road Over Lifelong Haters, Earns PhD At 46

Black Woman Named Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck Earns PhD Yes, you read all of that correctly . According to the Journal Sentinel , a Black woman with an unusual name has overcome a lifetime of haters and downtalkers to earn her doctorate degree. 46-year-old Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, DOCTOR Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, graduated from Cardinal Stritch University in Wisconsin last month. She says she absolutely refused to change her given name in order to show people that you can overcome things that people say will hold you back. Teachers, classmates, bosses and even some friends refused to call her by her name and tried to opt-out for “Mary”. She wasn’t having it. Those criticisms even inspired Marijuana to title her dissertation: “Black names in white classrooms: Teacher behaviors and student perceptions.” Her mother, Maggie (Brandy) Johnson, who still lives in Beloit, picked out her name and proclaimed that it would take her around the world. Her sisters, one older and one younger, got relatively common names, Kimberly and Robin. When asked about her thoughts on the legalization of her namesake she says: “My main concern are the individuals serving time for marijuana-related offenses. I would like to see all their sentences overturned. These people were locked up for making money from the sale of marijuana, and now that the government has figured out ways to make the money themselves, it is ‘legal’ and, further, encouraged.” For the record, Marijuana says she’s never smoked and doesn’t drink Pepsi. “I feel great. I party with drunk people; you can’t tell us apart.” She also doesn’t drink Pepsi or other soda except for an occasional fruity soft drink in an ice cream float. God bless the good sis. Put some respect on her name, not a Swisher Sweet!

Taylor Swift Explains Katy Perry Feud: It Was All the Media’s Fault!

Last week, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry ended their feud , officially bringing an end to one of the lengthiest and most entertaining popstar beefs of all time. The truce was announced by Katy’s cameo in the video for Taylor’s new single “You Need to Calm Down.” In case Katy’s presence in the clip didn’t send the message clearly enough, Perry literally dressed as the hamburger to Katy’s french fries, and the two of them hugged it out on camera. Katy tweeted a pic of the historic cease-fire along with a caption reading, “This meal is BEEF-free.” In other words, the singers are bludgeoning fans with their friendship the same way they used to beat us over the head with their feud. But even though Taylor, in particular, seemed to glory in the gossip repeatedly throwing shade at her rival and even went so far as to write a song about Katy , she now says the media is to blame for the whole mess. Addressing the rekindled friendship in a new interview with Buzzfeed , Taylor recalls the exact moment at which she and Katy buried the hatchet: “We have been on really good terms for a while. But the first time we saw each other was at this party, and it was just very clear to both of us that everything was different. That we had grown up,” Swift says. “That we had grown past allowing ourselves to be pitted against each other,” Taylor continues. “It just was really, really clear that we remembered how much we had in common. “Both of us have been in a really good place for a while, but I don’t know if either of us knew if we were gonna talk about it publicly.” Okay, obviously we’re a bit biased on this one, but Taylor pretending like her beef with Katy is an invention of the media and that the two of them were “pitted against each other” is some straight-up horse pucky, even by the standards of the post-truth #FakeNews era. For yeeeears, Taylor took shots at Katy every chance she got as an audience numbering in the tens of millions hung on every word. Katy was no shrinking violet throughout the whole thing, but she never teed off quite like Taylor did. The lyrics to “Bad Blood” stop just short of Tupac-Biggie diss track territory, and Tay basically spent all of 2015 rolling with a massive posse of lanky friends in case sh-t got real at a red carpet event. This was not a case of the media deciding it would be cool if two pop stars didn’t get along. No, this was a case of two pop stars (but Taylor in particular) taking every opportunity to remind the public that they don’t get along. It’s great that these two have decided to let bygones be bygones — but attempting to rewrite the past is a surefire way to wind up repeating your previous mistakes.

History-Making: Janet Mock Signs Multi-Million Dollar Netflix Deal, Becoming First Black Trans Woman To Make Landmark Move

Source: Daniel Zuchnik / Getty Janet Mock Signs Landmark Multi-Million Dollar Deal With Netflix Writer, director, producer and activist Janet Mock is making history thanks to a historic deal with Netflix. According to Variety , Mock signed a three-year, multimillion-dollar pact with the streaming company, giving them exclusive rights to her TV series and a first-look option on feature film projects. The deal makes Mock the first out transgender woman to call major creative shots at a big content company. As part of Mock’s agreement, she will serve as an executive producer and director on Ryan Murphy ‘s forthcoming Netflix series Hollywood.  Murphy is the man behind such hit series as Glee, American Horror Story and Pose . Despite being apart of the Netflix brand, Mock will still be allowed to continue as a director and writer on Pose , which is an LGBTQ drama set in New York City’s ballroom scene. On top of all this, the Netflix deal will allow Mock to create programs that employ and highlight communities that have historically been marginalized by Hollywood — including women of color and trans people. “As someone who grew up in front of the TV screen, whether that was watching talk shows or family sitcoms or VHS films, I never thought that I would be embraced,” Mock said in a statement. “And more than embraced. Given not just a seat at the table but a table of my own making.” Mock says she hopes the deal “will be a huge signal boost, industrywide, to empower people and equip them to tell their own stories.” She’s currently interviewing creative executives for her yet-to-be-named production banner. Projects being developed include a college-set drama exploring a young trans woman’s life, a series about New Orleans after the abolishment of slavery and a reboot of a celebrated sitcom. Congrats to Janet and we’ll keep you posted as the projects go from development to screen. Until then, peep Janet’s reaction to the deal below! Today, @JanetMock makes history as the first Black trans woman to establish an overall deal with a major studio. “…there's potential to introduce hundreds of millions of viewers to trans people, and showing people who may not understand us, that we can tell our own stories.” pic.twitter.com/nXhaW0STvo — Strong Black Lead (@strongblacklead) June 19, 2019

Not Shocked: President Donald Trump Refuses To Apologize To The Exonerated Five

Read the original:

Source: Mario Tama / Getty President Donald Trump was a harsh critic of the so-called Central Park Five , five teens who were accused of a heinous attack on a jogger in Central Park 30 years ago. Despite evidence clearing the men of the crime and an admission of guilt from the man who carried out the act, Trump refuses to give an apology to the men who now call themselves the “Exonerated Five.” Deadline reports : When asked today by White House correspondent April Ryan if he would apologize to the five men who were falsely accused of a brutal rape, but were later completely exonerated, Trump asked Ryan, “Why do you bring that question up now? It’s an interesting time to bring it up.” Trump continued, “You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt. If you look at Linda Fairstein, and you look at some of the prosecutors, they think that the city should never have settled that case. So we’ll leave it at that.” Trump in 1989 bought full page ads in New York City newspapers calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty in New York following the arrest of the five then-teens ― four of whom were black and one Hispanic ― in connection with the rape of a white jogger in Central Park. The horrific tale of abuse and injustice suffered by the Exonerated Five was detailed in grand detail via Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us series on Netflix. The director responded to President Trump’s comments, which can be viewed below. pic.twitter.com/lcAnZjNWRM — Ava DuVernay (@ava) June 19, 2019 — Photo: Getty

Dwyane Wade On His Son Attending Miami Pride: ‘My Role As A Father Is To Support My Kids’

Original post:

Source: James Devaney / Getty Dwyane Wade made headlines in April when he posted on his social media pages his love and support for his son Zion, who was attending Miami Pride with stepmother Gabrielle Union and their family. Months later in a recent interview with Variety , for the first time Wade is publicly talking about why supporting his 11-year-old son and his sexual orientation is his job as a parent. “I don’t really talk about it much because it’s Zion’s story to tell,” Wade told the entertainment website at  Cannes Lions , the annual advertising conference in the South of France. “I think as a family, we should support each other. That’s our job. And my job as a father is to facilitate their lives and to support them and be behind them in whatever they want to do.” NBA star Dwyane Wade on supporting his son's attendance at Miami #Pride https://t.co/yk4kuCE3nA pic.twitter.com/uRFIUVdUrK — Variety (@Variety) June 18, 2019 When asked to give advice on parenting for Pride Month, the recently retired basketball star said that regardless of the month, his style never changes. “I think people expect you to parent each kids the same. They are all different, and I have to get to know them and where they are. I have to say to most parents, get to know your kids. Don’t put your wants and needs on them.” Wade also shared that he was taken aback when he realized that supporting his son was met with backlash on social media. “I’m very uneasy about accolades that come from supporting my kids or the negativity that comes from it. I’m doing what every parent has to do. Once you bring kids into this world, you become unselfish. It’s my job to be their role model, to be their voice in my kids’ lives, to let them know you can conquer the world. So, go and be your amazing self and we’re going to sit back and just love you,” he said.
