Anthony Anderson: Stacey Dash Is An "Ann Coulter Dipped In Butterscotch"!

Anthony Anderson roasted Stacey Dash.

The creator and star of the hit ABC comedy black-ish went there. Anthony Anderson is the star, co-executive producer of the Kenya Burris show about a Black upscale father trying to get his suburbanite children hip to the "Black experience".

Anderson took a shot at his former friend in the entertainment industry after she made some stupid ass comments last month. And the actress clapped back at him.

Washed up actress and political agitator Stacey Dash once again stirred the pot of shit and cause another controversy.

There's a movie that's going to have a White actor play the role of Michael Jackson, sparking outrage among entertainment industry. British actor Joseph Fiennes. The movie (Elizabeth, Michael & Marlon) is facing harsh scrutiny.

Dash on the other hand, applauded the notion of a White guy playing the iconic pop star. By the way, Michael Jackson is Black and he's always identified himself as such. Although his antics were much tabloid sensation, Michael had a legacy and people respected it. Some will always judge him as a molester of children and a wack-a-doodle.

But his own children will judge him as a great father and a humanitarian to the world.

Most of Black America views Stacey Dash as "clueless".

Anderson had enough of Dash acting "clueless". So at the NAACP Image Awards, Anderson clapped at her. “Everybody give a round of applause for Stacey Dash,” the host joked on Friday. “What the hell is she doing? Doesn't she know that the Fox network is using her? She's just an Ann Coulter dipped in butterscotch.”

“Baby, don't let 'em use you,” he continued. “Come back to the black people and get back to work on some of those beautiful C-movies that you used to do!”

Anderson also made several pointed jokes about the diversity in the audience, a not-so-thinly veiled reference to the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.

“Look at all of these beautiful shades of people in the audience. Hollywood needs to know that this is what diversity is supposed to look like,” he said during his opening monologue. “I love seeing all these faces; black people working.”

“Everybody keeps saying it’s a comeback,” he added. “But hell, don't call it a comeback — we've been here for years.”

He also addressed Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, who made waves when they announced a boycott of the Oscars.

“Will and Jada are in the audience tonight,” Anderson quipped. “Hell, they better be here after all this ish they started.”

As for Dash, she shot back at Anderson on Twitter on Friday night, saying, “Well it’s funny how woman who weighs 105 wet! Can get grown a– men to act like llittle girls! Haha.”

Well it's funny how woman who weighs 105 wet!
Can get grown ass men to act like llittle girls! Haha

Obama's Touching Eulogy In Charleston!

Friends of faith know the road ahead was a challenge. But we persevere. 

The LGBT community was given a historical victory today. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage. Now in the United States, marriage is legal for every human being.

President Barack Obama delivered a powerful statement this morning.

And when he went to Charleston, SC for the funeral of Clementa Pickney, a state senator who was the pastor of Emmanuel AME Church, Obama gave one of the best eulogies ever.

As passionate as he was, the president remarks on all the innocent lives lost to this terrorist and the need to push for reasonable gun control. 

The deceased included congregation members: Susie Jackson, 87; Rev Daniel Simmons Sr., 74; Ethel Lance, 70; Myra Thompson, 59; Cynthia Hurd, 54; Rev Depayne Middleton-Doctor, 49; Rev Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, 45; and Tywanza Sanders, 26.

World News Today send our condolences to families of those lost in this horrible tragedy.

He went into Amazing Grace which brought the biggest standing ovation ever.

Who ever said that President Barack Obama's isn't the coolest guy in the White House?

A man of principle and a man of vision. And for the hate aimed at him, First Lady Michelle Obama an their children, they keep their cool and keep it moving.

Texas Teacher Fired Out The Cannon After Posting Racist Reaction To The McKinney Controversy!

Another professional got fired out the cannon after saying racially charged comments.

There is a Tumblr website called "Racist Get Fired". It was developed by two bloggers fed up with the constant trolling from professionals who find some racial outrage towards Black America.


Karen Fitzgibbons learned that her summer vacation is going to be permanent. She was fired out the cannon after she lit up social media saying that she wants all the Blacks segregated from the innocent people.

She even dared to be called out on her post. She got what she wanted!

Guess the social media website?



In a news release, officials said "Frenship ISD is deeply disappointed in the thoughtlessness conveyed by this employee's post. "We find these statements to be extremely offensive, insensitive, and disrespectful to our Frenship community and citizens everywhere. These comments in no way represent the educational environment we have created for our students."

The statement continued, "We hold our employees responsible for their public conduct even when they are not on active duty as district employees. Employees are held to the same professional standards in their public use of electronic media as they are for any other public conduct. This recent conduct was unacceptable."

Fitzgibbons told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that the post "was not directed at any one person or group" and that she "apologized to the appropriate people."

"It was not an educational post; it was a personal experience post," Fitzgibbons told the Avalanche-Journal.

Fitzgibbons isn't the only school official in hot water for making online comments about the McKinney incident: the Associated Press reported that Alberto Iber, principal of North Miami Senior High School in Florida, was removed from his position and reassigned to administrative duties after making a public comment supporting Casebolt on The Miami Herald's website.

Fitzgibbons said she had a personal experience. Okay, so she had a firearm pulled on her. She was called a racial slur by a Black person. She had her head slammed on the ground by the law. She had the law put their knees on her back and neck.

Who filmed that load of bullshit?

Our friend MRSUPERBOY223 posted remarks on this.

Johnny Kemp Passed Away!

Johnny Kemp was a part of the New Jack Swing era.

Remember it's Friday night, and you just got paid. Well the hit single came from R&B singer Johnny Kemp. Tonight the Associated Press announced he had passed away in Jamaica.

He was big in the 1990s but that was the only hit that managed to top the charts. 

He was born in the Bahamas. He began his singing career at 13. He performed at nightclubs and when he decided to venture to the United States he settled in New York.

He released the album Secrets of Flying which contained "Just Got Paid" and "Dancin' With Myself".

He was a scheduled performer for the Tom Joyner Soul Cruise. He was found in Montego Bay in a watery pit.

He leaves behind a wife and two sons. 

Kemp is a veteran of the new jack swing era. The New Jack Swing is a mixture of hip-hop fused with R&B. The genre produced a smack dab of hits. Kemp was a part of the music.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Johnny Kemp.

Tom Joyner Will Appear At The John Crawford Shooting Protest!

The famed Black talker comes to Dayton to join the protest at a Beavercreek Walmart. The suburban retailer has gotten a lot of heat after a tip by a shopper lead to two officers firing upon John Crawford III.

om Joyner and Jay Anthony Brown will visit students and faculty at historical black college Central State University, established in 1887.

Crawford was the man who was shot and killed by two Beavercreek officers after they confronted him with a pellet gun. The panic lead to the death of Angie Williams, a customer who had a heart attack after seeing the event unfold.

Crawford's death led to protest at Walmart and Beavercreek city hall. The family of Crawford wants the answers to why the officers shot and killed a man who was looking at a pellet gun.

A man who tipped of the law is under fire. Ronald Ritchie is getting some major flack after changing his account of the shooting. He was the main caller saying to the operators that Crawford was pointing the firearm at children and looking like he's loading.

This touched off a major outcry. The man was minding his business and was on the phone with the mother of his children. The woman is the only vocal witness. She told the media that he was on the phone with her and all of sudden, the law orders him to drop the item and he turned towards them, and they let the bullets fly. He was struck and died a few moments later.

Mike DeWine, Ohio Attorney General is under fire for not releasing the videos. He fears that it will prove the family's point that an unjustifiable shooting by law enforcement lead to the death of a man.

Sean Hannity And Ann Coulter Calls Melissa Harris-Perry A "Token"!

The most annoying conservative agitator complains about the competition. The competition's host made a tearful apology and he and the mush mouth conservative guest mock it.

The folks over at Loserville are so hypocritical.

It's funny that CNN and Obama News have more diversity in their programming compared to the folks over at Loserville.

Just a week ago, the competition made a not so nice statement about perennial loser Mitt Romney, and took aim at the condescending asshole's adopted grandson. The grandson is Black and of course most including myself believe the former Republican nominee is nothing more than a showboating loser.

He will forever be tagged a perennial loser. I don't even know why we're still giving this asshole attention.

He releases his holiday card featuring his grandchild and the little adopted Black child.

It's an awkward picture and the opposition made it a topic.

Just a month ago, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win was screaming over that Quacker getting suspended from the A & E reality show for saying some offensive things in GQ Magazine about gays and Blacks.

A & E quickly reinstated the Quacker after death threats and talk about boycotts came from the racist right.

Now here we go again.

Melissa Harris-Perry who's been an advocate for women and the Black community is under fire after she took shots at perennial loser Mitt Romney's adopted Black grandson.

A tearful apology from Melissa Harris-Perry.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win is running his mouth off again calling for Obama News to give her the ax. Yeah, he says he's all about "freedom of speech" only when it involves a right wing bigot, but when the opposition mocks the most annoying celebrity and most annoying politico's children, sound the alarm, it's time to fire.

Melissa Harris-Perry hosted a yearly in review segment with actress Pia Glenn and comedian Dean Obeidallah. They had made the comment that if Mitt Romney's grandson would marry Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's child wouldn't it be interesting.

Glenn sang out, “One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same.” Obeidallah said, “It sums up the diversity of the Republican Party and the [Republican National Committee], where they have the whole convention and they find the one black person.”

And she has point. But since the racist right was so upset over it, she would apologize for that comment.

Melissa Harris-Perry would later take to Twitter to make an apology. On the Saturday program, she would later make a tearful on-air apology. The perennial loser would later accept the apology on Loserville News Sunday. He would ask the commentator Chris Wallace to "move on!"

Loserville told that perennial loser, we're not done. We're going to milk this cow. CNN even wanted a part of the pie too.

Don Lemon took aim at her. He would say that Obama News would need a bit of "policing" whenever they allow their guest or host make comments.

Then Keith Olbermann made some not so nice tweets aimed at his former boss Phil Griffin.

Actor Alec Baldwin wasn't thrilled about the apology. He even mocked it by saying if he could cry and make an apology would he get his show back?

The smirking chimp on Loserville asks the perennial loser if he is upset over Melissa Harris-Perry's criticism of his family.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win ranted on radio and on last night's program. His right wing carnival mocked the tearful apology. In his mind, he believes that it's staged and she should get fired for it.

As you see, Loserville does fear Obama News. The hosts Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, Tamron Hall, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Thomas Roberts, Rev. Perm, Andrea Mitchell and Chris Hayes are a threat to the folks over at Loserville.

Obama News seen a rise in its ratings. It's no where in the range of Loserville, but it's pretty damn close.

CNN is seeing a huge slump. Why?

They aren't as polarizing as the other two.

Still Mediaite gets a piece of the annoying conservative agitator's program. He and Ann Coulter doing a whinefest about it. They said Harris-Perry’s tearful apology for a segment making light of a picture of Mitt Romney and his white family with an adopted black grandchild was insincere and pushed by management, while Coulter went so far as to call Harris-Perry the “token” African-American at Obama News.

Coulter found it ironic that Harris-Perry would insinuate that anyone else, like Kieran Romney, is a token, because “what does she think she is at Obama News?”

Don Lemon Confronts Self-Hating Black Writer!

Don Lemon confronts Black writer who hates being stereotyped as a NIGGER.

CNN anchor still trying to get his "ghetto pass" reinstated. Don Lemon confronts a self-loathing Black writer on the issues of race in the country.

It's got a big jolt when Oprah Winfrey went to the BBC to express her disappointing in how Americans view President Barack Obama in the prism of his race. She believes that the reason for his woes is mostly due to the racial extremism from his critics.

Orville Lloyd Douglas, Canadian opinion writer.

Of course, this is a goldmine for the conservative agitators. They can't stand being called a "racist". They believe its a double standard when it comes to the word NIGGER. They believe that the LEFT is trying to silence their freedom to hate.

They believe that "the Blacks" are atoned to saying NIGGA to one another. They believe that we police White America from the usage of the racial slur.


Again, we don't police your usage of the racial slur. The best thing we can do to you is basically prove a point. With the digital age, what you say or do will come back to bite you in the ass. You can say as much as you want about "us Black folk".

It's your right to be the condescending asshole you made yourself out to be.

We can't deny you that right to be who you are!

But think about it! If you have a job, a company, friends and loved ones. Oh, your words against us can break you! Just think if the stuff you say becomes a viral sensation.

You'll be lucky they don't find out your address and send you threatening letters.

Don Lemon catches a lot of flack for his outspoken views of Black America.

Lemon calls out Orville Lloyd Douglas, the writer of Why I Hate Being A Black Man.

Mediaite reports that Orville Lloyd Douglas explained to Lemon why he wrote such a highly charged column and what it’s like for him being a black man.

Douglas admitted he’s mainly talking about the stereotypes surrounding black men regarding his self-hatred, saying it’s hard for people who don’t conform to the stereotypes of black men to live in society.

Don Lemon (right) and his boyfriend Ben Tinker.

Lemon was somewhat baffled by what he was saying, asking him why he doesn't just let himself define who he is and not worry about other people. Douglas, a Canadian, explained race is handled with kid gloves up there, especially to the “more progressive way” it’s talked about in America.

Lemon credited Douglas for being very brave to come out like he is, especially with all the online hate he’s getting, but also pressed him on rejecting the self-hatred. Lemon said he should just “learn to love being black” and not to “let other people define who you are.”

Douglas also talked about diversity in Canada, as well as racial and social issues that aren't being dealt with in Toronto. If only they had a competent mayor who could f… oh, wait.

Some of Douglas' article obtained from the Guardian included:

A lot of black men don't want to acknowledge the feelings of disgust we have for ourselves. It is considered emasculating to even admit the existence of such thoughts. I think my own self-hated manifests from the exterior, from the outside world. It is born out of the despair and the unhappiness I see within a lot of young black men.

I can honestly say I hate being a black male. Although black people like to wax poetic about loving their label I hate "being black". I just don't fit into a neat category of the stereotypical views people have of black men. In popular culture black men are recognized in three areas: sports, crime, and entertainment. I hate rap music, I hate most sports, and I like listening to rock music such as PJ Harvey, Morrissey, and Tracy Chapman. I have nothing in common with the archetypes about the black male.

There is so much negativity and criminal suspicion associated with being a black male in Toronto. Yet, I don't have a criminal record, and I certainly don't associate with criminals. In fact, I abhor violence, and I resent being compared to young black males (or young people of any race) who are lazy, not disciplined, or delinquent. Usually, when black male youth are discussed in Toronto, it is about something going wrong.

Honestly, who would want to be black? Who would want people to be terrified of you and not want to sit next to you on public transportation?

Any comments on this?

Don Lemon: [Black Folks] Were Safe Under NYPD's Stop & Frisk Policy!

CNN anchor pissed off Black America with his endorsement of stop-and-frisk policies by law enforcement.

On the Tom Joyner Radio show, CNN anchor Don Lemon delivers the Black perspective in America.

This week's edition of his Black perspective may have pissed off listeners. It may eventually cost him a place on the legendary radio host show.

CNN's Don Lemon is a very successful Black journalist. He is an openly gay news anchor who was a victim of rape when he was a child. He overcame his terrible ordeal to become a well respected journalist and talk show host.

His endorsement of the NYPD's controversial stop and frisk policy is a slap in the face to the hundreds of individuals being stopped without probable cause.

I am guessing that Lemon was discussing his take on the Barneys situation in which a 19-year old college student was stopped by undercover NYPD officers after he purchased a high end belt from the luxury department store.

Even media mogul Jay-Z was caught into this situation. Barneys endorsed his products and namesake last year and many agitators in the junk food media are calling for Jay-Z to renounce his support.

Jay-Z on his part told the media that even though he disagrees with the handling of the matter, why should he end a relationship with a company that helps him motivate young people become entrepreneurs?

He doesn't support stop-and-frisk, but should he just stop everything because of every incident in New York. He wants to help but boycotts and renouncing companies aren't helpful.

Somehow Lemon said that police were not always very respectful of the people they stopped, but that tampering with the "formula that has reduced crime in New York City" could be very dangerous.

Tom Joyner, a nationally syndicated radio host.

"The question is, would you rather be politically correct or safe and alive?" he concluded.

Black, Latino or practicing Muslim are often profiled by law enforcement as "natural born criminals".

The NYPD faced criticism last month due to the incident in which a group of motorcyle riders attacked a man and his family after the man ran over a cyclist. Some of the riders were undercover agents. One even participated in brutally attacking the man.

Lemon's comments come in a long line of criticism of Black America.

He touched off a firestorm when endorsed Bill-O's rant about how Black leaders (President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson) were "tone deaf" to Black on White crime.

Lemon believes that "US BLACK FOLK" ain't right. In his opinion, "US BLACK FOLK" are so fixated on Lil' Wayne and LaBron James. He believes that young minds are trying to be entertainers and athletes aren't the key to Black success. He believes that some Black people like Trayvon Martin's friend Rachel Jantel dialect is "too ghetto" and "not suitable for court".

Undercover police stop and frisk two Black individuals.

Lemon also called out Black America for homophobia. He believes that young men who put on this act of being "tough and not into that stuff" is coded for closet homosexuality.

Lemon's words comes as many Black conservatives and some Black liberals share their "teachable moments" in the gray area.

I don't agree with the statement of Lemon when it comes to the stop and frisk policy. I don't want to be profiled for being Black.

I believe that law enforcement profiling people of color is wrong. I understand that if I am in a bad neighborhood or associate with unlawful individuals, it invites itself to being profiled.

I agree law enforcement and the Black community are like distant cousins. We need to work on the relationship so that Black men don't always fear the sirens or the light. I don't want to be a resident of the iron college.

But in no way I want my freedoms violated by a law enforcement officer if he has no probable cause to do so.

Around 2008, Tom Joyner fired Tavis Smiley from the program after he was making too many criticism of then candidate Barack Obama. Smiley is one of the harshest critics of President Barack Obama from the left. He and Dr. Cornel West have openly attacked the president for not doing much for the Black community.

They unfortunately give Black Republicans like Herman Cain, David Webb, Allen West, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Jesse Lee Peterson, Alveda King, C.L. Bryant, and Deenen Borelli the hyperbolic talking points about President Barack Obama not caring about Black people.

These folks have missed the point over 32 years ago. Maybe they need to look back to the 1980s when supply side economics were passed in Congress and signed by The Gipper.

That was the beginning of the gap between rich and poor. Yeah, it may have been a great economy for some, but in the 1980s, the poor and needy became the drug abusers. The poor and needy fought for their share.

It sparked the global outbreak of AIDS. It created the crack/cocaine and heroin epidemic.

This continues today. It hasn't changed and it won't change until we get lawmakers who can relate to the Black community. Instead of electing Democrats and Republicans, how about we elected rational people who understand the plight of all Americans.

The Gipper (Ronald Reagan) created the mess and Barack Obama is trying to clean it up.

Julie Chen: My Former Job Told Me I Looked Too Asian!

Reality host Julie Chen and her husband Les Moonves. The reality host is a part of The Talk and Big Brother. She revealed that her previous employer made racial slurs about her. Moonves is the CEO of CBS networks.

The Dayton, Ohio NBC affiliate WDTN, issued an apology to CBS reality television host Julie Chen after she revealed on her program The Talk about her issues with management during her time working as a news reporter.

The women of The Talk revealed the most controversial secrets and one happen to make the news was the conversation about "the looks". Chen being of Asian-American decent, was told by a television news manager that her looks weren't appealing to the audience forced her to get plastic surgery to replace her nose and facial cheek bones. She felt that she had to look "white" in order to get a job.

Sheryl Underwood, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler and Julie Chen host CBS The Talk. The daytime program is gunning for The View after three successful seasons.

On September 11, 2013 during the first week of Season 4 of The Talk, Chen revealed that she had undergone East Asian blepharoplasty early in her career after being pressured by a previous news director.

Chen said that the idea "divided" her family, but she must "live with every decision that I've made and it got me to where we are today. And I'm not going to look back."

Julie Chen was a veteran news reporter came from WDTN. She worked the small market of Dayton, Ohio  for at least four years before she hit the big time circuit. She would later be terminated from her position.

Lin Media Group would issue an apology to Chen for her hostile treatment while working for the station.

While it was hurtful to her, Chen would build a name recognition for herself. Having anchoring for both CBS Morning News and The Early Show as well as hosting the summer reality-television series Big Brother, potential opportunities and true love happen to fall upon her.

Les Moonves, president and chief executive officer of CBS Television, began dating the Big Brother host during his marriage to Nancy Wiesenfeld Moonves. On April 22, 2003, a week after Les Moonves signed a five-year multimillion dollar contract with Viacom, his wife filed for divorce in L.A. Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences, according to her lawyer Dennis Wasser.

Lin Media Group owns Dayton's media stations WDTN and WBDT. The channels are NBC and The CW affiliates. The CW of Dayton is the nation's most watched affiliate.

Divorce proceedings were delayed for almost two years due to financial settlement disagreements. On December 10, 2004, Moonves got a court to grant an early divorce, leaving spousal support and child support to be determined at a later date.

On December 23, 2004, Chen and Moonves were married in a private ceremony attended by friends and family at a private home in Acapulco, Mexico.

Remember that women of color are often discriminated in the workplace. Black women lead the way in discrimination. Then comes Native Americans, Latinas and Asian American woman. Women who are Muslim are often discriminated as well.

Comedian Sheryl Underwood.

Besides this, her co-host Sheryl Underwood was also in hot water after attacking Heidi Klum and Seal's children for being "nappy heads". She also made the news for having a twin sister die in birth and her family never mentioned this while she grew up.

The Talk is a CBS syndicated show that airs either in the mornings or afternoons in most affiliated markets. It replaced daytime soaps Guiding Light and As The World Turns. The Talk is similar to The View minus the political hot topics. The show is gunning for the longtime ABC program. The show scores 1.9 million viewers and its growing.

The show creator, actress Sara Gilbert is the primary host. She and Julie Chen host the program with Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler, and Sheryl Underwood.

Sara Gilbert is best known for her role as Darlene Connor in the hit sitcom Roseanne. She is a television producer, actress and movie writer. She was one of the many celebrities to openly admit that's she's lesbian.

Sharon Osbourne is a entertainment manager/reality television host. She also landed a deal with the British X-Factor and America's Got Talent. She left the reality shows to handle the production of The Talk. She may return back to the talent shows. She is the wife of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. She was also the featured player of MTV hit reality show The Osbournes.

Aisha Tyler is a celebrity agitator and comedian. She hosts revised version of Who's Line Is That Anyway? Comedians Wayne Brady and Drew Carey are featured players on The CW program. They host Let's Make a Deal and The Price Is Right on CBS respectively.

Sheryl Underwood is a comedian and part of the Queens of Comedy. She host a talk program on the Jamie Foxx's Foxxhole on SiriusXM. She is a contributor to Tom Joyner's Morning Show.

Actresses/reality television hosts Marissa Jerret, Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete were dismissed after conflicts with Chen during the first season.

Juicy J's Twerk Scholarship Draws Ire From Women's Groups!

Entertainer faces ire of women for "twerk" scholarship offer.

If you can work that behind, you may get a scholarship from entertainer Juicy J. And of course, you may also get the shame of women's right groups.

Black America Web reports that the entertainer is offering $50,000 for the best twerk. Yeah, he's serious about that.

Here's the entertainer speaking about it.



Some women's groups are upset over this. Two Black extremists aren't happy about it and are calling for a boycott of his album.

Seeka tha Teacha, head of the Hip Hop Liberation Army along with colleagues Abena Afreeka and Sis Tricey are too pissed off and are calling for a boycott of the rapper’s CD. Appearing on the weekly rap program, “Militant Minded Radio,” they presented a lively discussion on this display of what can be called a byproduct of misogynistic thinking. We ask for your forgiveness in advance as the speaker’s did not identify themselves so we had to play a guessing game.

“There’s no honor in getting a scholarship for shaking your behind….I think its degrading,” says one of the women we think may be Seeka Tha Teacha, a mother. “Why would you want to get a scholarship for that when there’s a lot of intelligent women out here who use their brain. Why don’t you give them some money,” she continues, adding that she would never want her daughter doing anything like that.

“I know Juicy J [is] probably sittin’ back laughing at all the women that’s gonna come and shake they ass for this money. It’s all a game,” she continues.

“I think that this contest is only symptomatic, and that any discussion about this that ignores the larger picture of the systematic sexploitation, objectification of Black women is basically an incomplete discussion,” says Sis Tricey. She equates Juicy J to someone who is “embracing that cooning buck,” a brother who will promote “the exploitation of himself, his sisters and brothers” for money.

“You can think of the situation…when the 12-year-old sits up and tells his math teacher, ‘I make more in a day then you make in a whole year,” she concludes.

Wiz Khalifa is a fan of Three Six Mafia. The rapper worked with Juicy J and signed him to Taylor Gang Records. The rapper even named Juicy J as the godfather of his son. He and model Amber Rose welcomed a child this year. 

And apparently, the scholarship is only the beginning; a CD is set to follow.

“Is this going to be a trend?” Sis Tricey suggests adding a truly frightening scenario. “Are we going to have more rappers throwing in and saying ‘hey, we’re doing some positive things for the school.’ How many sisters will even want to continue to go to school once they get a taste of that.”

Abeena Afreeka states, ”As women, for starters, I believe it is imperative for us to come out in strong opposition to the CD, to the message, and begin to actively get in the ears of our young sisteren.” She invites not only women, but men as well, to join in with this support against the degradation of Black women; by boycotting the Juicy J CD and the message behind it.

The freedom of speech again comes into play. Remember we're living in the post Sandra Fluke era.

Many entertainers are getting the finger wagging too. Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Lil' Wayne, The Game and 50 Cent are examples of entertainers who lost their deals after saying or doing things that caused women's groups to boycott the companies.

Conservative agitators aren't spared the wrath either.

Remember that King Hippo (Rush Limbaugh) called the activist a "slut" and drew ire of women's groups. His antics lead to a lost of sponsors and a strain in his relationship with Clear Channel and Cumulus Radio.

We can expect that Juicy J will be the talk of conservative agitators in the coming days. After all, if shit is posted on the wall, then it's the turd flippers who ready to rally.

Well anyways, the rapper has a lot to celebrate. He's a veteran in the hip-hop game and yes it's a big comeback. He's a part of the pop culture.

Three Six Mafia (Juicy J, DJ Paul and Lord Infamous) won an Oscar for their contributions to Hustle & Flow.

I most recognized him as a member of the Three 6 Mafia. He and DJ Paul were childhood friends and would later form the group. Formed in 1991 as the Backyard Posse and then Triple 6 Maifa, DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, Juicy J and Koopsta Knicca, the group later included two more members including; Crunchy Black and Gangsta Boo (who were both added shortly before the release of their debut album Mystic Stylez).

The group has also collaborated with many rappers on their own label; Hypnotize Minds, where they have kick started the careers for many Memphis rappers, such as; Frayser Boy, Gangsta Blac, Lil Wyte and Indo G. The group frequently collaborates with Project Pat (Juicy J's older brother).

Their musical style—which initially featured dark, menacing beats with equally gritty lyrics—has since moved to a more mainstream sound (crunk).

The group has also had numerous lineup changes, and now consists of original members Juicy J and DJ Paul. Nonetheless, they have cultivated a sizable and diverse cult following that has only increased since their Oscar win. They have released two RIAA rated platinum albums; When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1 and Most Known Unknown, the latter featured their well known single "Stay Fly", which is said to be the kick start of their rise to fame and the mainstream. The group's worldwide album sales stand at 5.5 million.

Although they're still a group, Juicy J wanted to venture past the Mafia.

While on tour he signed on as a solo artist to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records and Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records. After the signing, he announced that he's working on an album. The album is Juicy J's first solo album since distancing himself from Three 6 Mafia and signing to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records, who makes three appearances on the album.

He released Bandz a Make Her Dance. It was produced by Mike Will (Made It) and it featured Lil' Wayne and 2 Chainz. The single was a smash hit and it went platinum.

That single welcome the world to Juicy J.

Juicy J's album the highly anticipated Stay Trippy is now out. It's a comeback album release. It's the third album released by the rapper. But it's his first album to get such huge buzz this summer. It was ranked very favorable and is one the most anticipated albums of the year.

Again, hip-hop music sales are declining. In order for entertainers in the music industry to stay relevant, they release EPs and mixtapes. That helps them generate buzz for their albums and helps move them into the mainstream (pop culture).

Did you know that Three 6 Mafia won an Academy Award?

Their 2005 song "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from the film Hustle and Flow won Best Original Song at the 78th Academy Awards.

They join Eminem as the only rap performers who managed to score an Academy Award win for Best Original Song.

Wiz Khalifa is signed to Atlantic Records. He is affiliated with Taylor Gang Records and Rostrum Records.

Juicy J is signed Sony Music Group. He is affiliated with Taylor Gang Records and Hypnotized Minds, LLC.

LovelyTi2002 elaborates on the controversy and also the Bounce It video from Juicy J.

Don Lemon: O'Reilly Has A Point! You Black Folk Ain't Right!

Spin Cycle!

CNN anchor Don Lemon agrees with Bill-O (Bill O'Reilly)!

The conservative agitator made some controversial statements about the Black community last week. It set off a firestorm of criticism towards him and his network Loserville.

You see that Loserville, Republicans, the conservative agitators on radio and the blogs really care about "us Black folk". They claim they really care about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech to the nation. What speech they usually pull out their ass, "judge not by color but by content of character!"

They were there when we were pissed at the verdict handing George Zimmerman his walking papers.

The conservative media has worked full time in covering the situations in Black America. They practically are concerned about "unwed births", "gun crime" and "gubmint assistance". Tell "us Black folk" not to have babies. Not to own firearms. And not to get on federal assistance.

But yet, these conservatives want to ban abortions. They want to have more firearms on the streets without regulation or background checks. And they want to bail out oil companies and corporations that send our jobs overseas. Conservatives rather see these industries get federal assistance.

You see White male conservatives want control over us, but never control over them.

For every mass shooting in Suburban America, there's at least 100 crimes in Urban America.

One thing that we all agree on is that Bill-O is an asshole. But an asshole sitting on a pile of money.

A pile of crap that was spoken by the agitator. It triggered a massive response from Rev. Perm and others.

I don't understand why would a person like Lemon support the guy who would say that black people at Sylvia's Restaurant would say "M-fer I want I more ice tea!"

The conservative agitator by word for word



Now Don Lemon is an openly gay Black commentator and host on CNN. A man who suffered experiences as youth growing up in the South. Being racially stereotyped and also sexually molested as a boy is a horrible experience for the journalist.

Even in that horrible experience he came to become one of the nation's most respected Black journalists.

He came out in 2011 telling his story about molestation after the Black preacher Eddie Long came into the news after his numerous affairs with gay male parishioners.

Don Lemon thought that Bill-O didn't go far enough on his criticism. This sparked a backlash from those over at Obama News.

Goldie Taylor tells Don Lemon to sit his little ass down and understand that Black plight isn't a product of hip-hop or the Democratic Party. She reminds Lemon and Bill-O that if it wasn't for Republican gridlock on legislation that aids in helping "us Black folk", we wouldn't be in the mess.

The Republican Party has stalled the president's job proposals and has taken the stance to hold firm on gridlock and obstruction.

For as far as I can remember Republicans drove up the debt. They created legislation that catered to a divide and conquer strategy in which the poor fight for survival and the rich reek in the spoils.

Hip-Hop music is entertainment. Most rappers, rockers, singers, and actors are paid professionals. They have talents that brings us to the the television, movies, the music store, the stage and the concerts.

Bill-O sits on an ivory tower. He makes his fortune off of profit rage. Raging against an enemy.

That enemy is the Black community.

Don Lemon, why on earth would you support a man who's words killed a man?

Could there be a true reason why Bill-O mad at the Black culture? 

Is it probably because of his wife leaving his ass for a Black guy?

Tavis Smiley: Pass Us The Kool-Aid, Obama! Your [Trayvon] Talk Too Late!

Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West are Black liberal agitators who complain about President Barack Obama not doing enough for Black America. When the president does something, these two nut farmers criticize him. These guys are just as worse as the conservative agitators I've often mention.

Black liberal extremist can't be satisfied.

This has to be one of the reason why I can't stand Black liberal activists. They want more and more.

They can't settle for compromise.

They always figure that the president isn't doing enough for one group or doing too much for one group.

There are some liberal extremists who can't be satisfied with the way the president does his job.

They're just as bad as the conservative agitators and White extremists.

On the positive note, SiriusXM has relaunched its networks. The relaunch includes the channels I normally listen to in my drive time. The channel SiriusXM LEFT will now be called SiriusXM Progress and SiriusXM The Power will be called SiriusXM Urban View.

Through Public Radio International and featured on WCPT AM, the nation's most popular progressive talk radio network comes Tavis Smiley. Smiley, who is a host on PBS program on late nights also goes to the radio to talk about the state of Black America. He also host a second show with Dr. Cornel West, professor from Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York.

Tom Joyner dropped Smiley for Roland Martin after he kept complaining to the audience that Barack Obama in a theme that described him as a "HOUSE NIGGER!"

Anyways, on Obama News featured Meet The Press, David Gregory gets Smiley, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), and Michael Steele debate this controversy.

Smiley goes to the nut farm with this comment.

[I think that Obama was] pushed to the podium and these comments were as "weak as pre-sweetened Kool Aid."

"I appreciate and applaud the fact that the president did finally show up," Smiley said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"[But however], this town has been spinning a story that's not altogether true. He did not walk to the podium for an impromptu address to the nation. He was pushed to that podium. A week of protest outside the White House, pressure building on him inside the White House pushed him to that podium. So I'm glad he finally arrived.

"But when he left the podium, he still had not answered the most important question, that Keynesian question, where do we go from here?"

"That question this morning remains unanswered, at least from the perspective of the president. And the bottom line is this is not Libya, this is America."On the Trayvon Martin situation, I think the president is leading from behind".

From Wikipedia.

Tavis Smiley is an American talk show host, author, liberal political commentator, entrepreneur, advocate and philanthropist.

Smiley was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, and grew up in Bunker Hill, Indiana. After attending Indiana University, he worked during the late 1980s as an aide to Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles. Smiley became a radio commentator in 1991, and starting in 1996, he hosted the talk show BET Talk (later renamed BET Tonight) on BET.

Controversially, after Smiley sold an exclusive interview of Sara Jane Olson to ABC News in 2001, BET declined to renew Smiley's contract that year. Smiley then began hosting The Tavis Smiley Show on NPR from 2002 to 2004 and currently hosts Tavis Smiley on PBS on the weekdays and "The Tavis Smiley Show" from PRI. Starting in 2010 Smiley and Dr. Cornel West have joined forces for their own radio talk show, Smiley & West. They were featured together interviewing musician Bill Withers in the 2009 documentary film Still Bill.

He is the new host of "Tavis Talks" on BlogTalkRadio's Tavis Smiley Network.

In 2008, Tavis Smiley announced that he would resign in June 2008 as a commentator on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. He cited fatigue and a busy schedule in a personal call to Joyner. However, Joyner, referring to several commentaries in which Smiley was critical of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, indicated otherwise on his program, stating: "The real reason is that he can't take the hate he's been getting regarding the Barack issue—hate from the black people that he loves so much."

Prior to the public controversy and being elected President, Obama had been on Smiley's PBS show six times.

In 2012, Smiley participated in a "Poverty Tour" with professor Cornel West in promoting their book The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto.

The stated aim of the tour was to highlight the plight of the impoverished population of the United States prior to the 2012 Presidential Election, whose candidates Smiley and West stated had ignored the plight of the poor.

GOP Sundays often have a Republican on there. Usually it's a requirement that Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Michigan), Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) be on GOP Sundays.

There's a 3:1 ratio when it comes to Republicans being featured on GOP Sundays.

For some reason the president's talk about being racially profiled became the talk of the town.

Tom Joyner Slams Rush Limbaugh For Rachel Jeantel And Trayvon Martin Comments!

Tom Joyner pledges funds for a Trayvon Martin scholarship and aid to Rachel Jeantel. The young woman who played a role in the George Zimmerman trial was criticized by the conservative junk food media for her "Black" attitude on CNN's Piers Morgan.

Longtime Black talker and activist, Tom Joyner has express outrage at the decision in Sanford, Florida.

He and many others including myself see that justice was scoffed by the systematic rush to judgement by jurors who only see the victim as another worthless life in hoodie. The shooter, George Zimmerman walks free and the nation's racial divide gotten even bigger.

Tom Joyner announced that he's planning on getting a Trayvon Martin memorial scholarship and he's planning on helping conservative whipping girl, Rachel Jeantel go to college. Jeantel, the key witness in the George Zimmerman trial was heavily criticized by the conservative junk food media for being "big fat angry Black woman who had no business being on the stand!"

Joyner also has some choice words for Rush Limbaugh (King Hippo). The conservative talker uttered NIGGA on his radio program this week and it drew a huge controversy. Also the fact that he attack Jeantel sparked another round of criticism post Sandra Fluke.

Also Rachel Jeantel also had words for Rush Limbaugh.

She appears on HuffPost Live with Dr. Marc Lamont Hill. He asks her if Rush Limbaugh's use of NIGGA and the constant attacks on her irritate her. She replied, "Well, yes, but I can’t judge him!"

After spending over two days attacking her personally and slut-shaming her, Limbaugh is out on a weekend furlough while Mark Steyn fills in.

Before Tom Joyner headed over to CNN for the Piers Morgan interview, he got in touch with Rachel Jeantel and her attorney who were in Florida doing post trial interviews.



A great deed was done in the face of controversial decision by an ALL WHITE JURY. Yeah there was a White Hispanic woman on the jury pool, but she thought like every WHITE WOMAN on that jury.

She believed that despite being told to not follow, George Zimmerman had the right to kill Trayvon Martin in the act of "self defense".

This verdict has prompted Black leaders and liberal agitators to protest Florida's Stand Your Ground law.

Conservative agitator is feuding with Rachel Jeantel after appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan.

This prompt a nationwide boycott of Florida, Rush Limbaugh, and George Zimmerman.

There will be a nationwide march on Saturday to protest unfair justice given towards Marissa Alexander, the woman who was sentenced 20 in the iron college for firing a gun in her ceiling. She was denied the claims of self-defense by the state prosecutors.

Joyner and Al Sharpton (Rev. Perm) will be actively encouraging Attorney General Eric Holder to look into the Zimmerman trial.

As of today, the U.S. Justice Department has ordered the Sanford Police and Seminole County Courts to hold all evidence. The firearm used in the shooting is not going back to Zimmerman just yet. The FBI is looking into the negligence of police in handling the matter. The FBI is looking to poke holes into the Zimmerman story.

Again, Zimmerman can't be prosecuted for the same crime. What the Justice Department can get him on is a civil rights violation. It's hard to prove but if there's any evidence of a cover up and disputes in the story, he'l be right back in court yet again to face the judge.

George Zimmerman and his wife Shellie are also facing perjury charges for lying to the court about bail money. So that will go underway soon.
