The washed up media personality Bill Cosby is on trial for sexual assault. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Andrea Constand pressed charges against him and he is facing a minimum of ten in the iron college. He would have to register as a sexual offender for LIFE.
Constand and 57 other women accused the media mogul of drugging their drinks and inappropriately touching them. Some his accusers claimed that he would rape them after they shared a wine together.
Cosby admitted that he put quaaludes in their food and drinks. He denies he rape these women.
Now here's a kicker. Cosby is now "legally blind" and he won't be able to recognize his accusers.
This tactic will likely backfire.
Cosby doesn't want to face his accusers. He often placed the responsibility of legal matters to his high powered attorneys.
Clifford "T.I." Harris gives insight on his reality show, his album and Donald Trump.
Clifford Harris rolls out his new moniker. Instead of calling him T.I., you may now refer him as TIP.
T.I. appears on The View today to announce his reality television show T.I. & Tiny The Family Hustle Continues is on for another season. He talks about his album, his daughter and politics.
T.I. has signed on to Roc Nation for the release of his next album The Dime Trap.
His single "Dope" with production from Dr. Dre is a smash.
T.I. gets an opportunity to address the RNC Convention, Donald Trump, and Black Lives Matter.
The woman who captured the shooting of Philando Castile goes to the junk food media to clear his name. She denounces the conservative agitator's accuastions of him being a criminal by birth.
I watched ABC's The View and GMA today. The woman who filmed the fatal shooting of a Minnesota man which sparked outrage in the Black community came to the junk food media to denounce the tactics of conservatives. Conservatives are slandering the names of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. They want to say they were involved in gangs and have lengthy criminal history.
They accused the men of disrespecting the law. They both had firearms on them. The cops put the work in them. Alton was on the ground. Philando was in his car.
Diamond "Lavish" Reynolds with her attorney were talking to the junk food media about how this impacted her. She said that the officer now identified as Jeronimo Yanez shot her boyfriend after he was trying to reach for his wallet. The officer and his lawyer deny this and claim that he was reaching for the firearm.
If it wasn't for the power of social media and camera phones, the police would cover up evidence and find ways to smear the victim. They often drive the narrative that Black suspects are often likely to be more dangerous to cops than White suspects.
Many comparisons come to mind. The Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas where a white man grabs the gun of an officer. He was not killed. He's sent to a psychological facility and later charged with a state crime. A white man rushes the stage at Trump rally in Dayton, Ohio. He was restrained and arrested. He was not killed. He is facing federal charges.
A former Stanford University swimmer raped an unconscious woman. He was charged and convicted of the crime. He was sentenced to 10 years in-house, 1 year in the iron college with time suspended, and a lifetime enrollment in Offender's U. No life without parole sentence. A former Indiana University student raped two women by penetrating their bodies when they were sleeping after being drunk. He was charged and convicted of the crime. He was sentenced to less than 5 years of in-house, an enrollment in Offender's U and payment to the victims. No life in the iron college without parole.
Answers. A police officer shot Philando Castile in front of Diamond Reynolds and her daughter.
Each crime sheds light on how Black suspects are harshly sentenced for criminal acts while Whites get easier sentences.
The fact that the junk food media is bringing up the traffic violations of Philando is disgusting. It's giving the public the notion that his death was justified.
It took the NRA over four days to finally react to the notion that Philando was a legally armed citizen. He had a conceal carry permit. The NRA supports open carry laws in many states.
Last night, I listened to this loudmouth Bill Cunningham. He is a conservative agitator from Cincinnati who hosts a radio program Monday through Fridays and nationally on Sundays. He also host a Jerry Springer-themed talk show on many CW and Fox stations.
He and many like him are concern trolling and blaming #BlackLivesMatter for the actions of a terrorist who killed five Dallas police officers. The terrorist was targeting White cops and the cries of reverse racism and Obama keep popping up in the internet community.
This Black extremist called Diamond Reynolds a Black bitch.
Kevin Jackson, this black conservative concern troll who has a blog and radio show called Diamond "Lavish" Reynolds, the woman who filmed her boyfriend being shot by a St. Anthony Police officer, a crazy bitch. He says that she failed to render aid and was so eager to post on social media how cops are bad. Of course, ignoring the fact that the officer told her not to move and she had the camera on throughout the aftermath of the shooting.
Cunningham, Jackson and many other conservatives assume that Philando Castile is the suspect in a robbery of a gas station. The ConservativeTreeHouse, a notorious white extremist website "confirms" that Philando was the suspect wanted in the robbery four days before the shooting. They claim that evidence of Diamond holding a pack of Newport cigarettes as proof.
They claim the robber took off with money and a few cartons of Newport cigarettes.
Whoopi Goldberg, Sonny Hostin and Joy Baher tore into Rudy Giuliani today. They said that for a White privileged asshole like the former mayor, he's sure one to talk. His rhetoric was not helpful in the time of mourning and Whoopi pointed out the White people marching holding the sign as well.
Whoopi said that if Black Lives Matter is a racist group why are Black and White people marching together.
Jesse Williams passionate speech on Blackness goes viral.
Jesse Williams plays Avery Jackson on the Shonda Rhimes medical drama Grey's Anatomy. He's a passionate supporter of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. And today, he couldn't be more prouder of the group and their place in history.
Williams delivered a passionate speech about how the junk food media reacts towards Black America. He addressed the recent high profile police incident that killed unarmed Black citizens.
He also singles out the situations at the Cincinnati Zoo and Walt Disney World as an example to how the junk food media reacts towards it.
Peace peace. Thank you, Debra. Thank you, BET. Thank you Nate Parker, Harry and Debbie Allen for participating in that. Before we get into it, I just want to say I brought my parents out tonight. I just want to thank them for being here, for teaching me to focus on comprehension over career, and that they make sure I learn what the schools were afraid to teach us. And also thank my amazing wife for changing my life. Now this award - this is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country. The activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students, that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. It's kind of basic mathematics, the more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize. Now this is also in particular for the black women, in particular, who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and will do better for you. Now what we've been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day. So what's going to happen is we are going to have equal rights and justice in our own country or we will restructure their function and ours. Yesterday would’ve been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday, so I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12-year-old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television then going home to make a sandwich. Tell Rekia Boyd how it’s so much better to live in 2012 than 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Darrien Hunt. Now the thing is though, all of us in here getting money, that alone isn’t going to stop this. Now dedicating our lives to get money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body, when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies and now we pray to get paid for brands on our bodies. There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven't done, there's been no tax they haven't levied against us, and we've paid all of them. But freedom is somehow always conditional here, 'You’re free,’ they keep telling us, ‘But she would’ve been alive if she hadn’t acted so… free'. Freedom is always coming in the hereafter, but, you know what though, the hereafter is a hustle. And let's get a couple of things straight, just a little sidenote, the burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That's not our job, stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interest in equal rights for black people than do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down. We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, and we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil, black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit. The thing is, just because we’re magic, doesn’t mean we’re not real. Thank you.
This passionate speech has went viral and it's expected that conservatives will laud the speech as "anti-cop", "racist" or "anti-White". And the concern trolls will say that Black leaders don't care about violence in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, etc.
Justin Timberlake caught some flack after being touched by Williams' speech.
Timberlake posted on social media to praise Williams. It kind of backfired.
Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone are considering an exit from daytime agitation program The View.
The famed entertainer and moderator of ABC's The View is considering an exit from the show.
She may not be the only leaving as well. The former Cosby kid, Raven-Symone could be on her way out too.
Mediaite reports that ABC big wigs are hoping that Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone (Pearlman) may stick around. Contract negotiations are being worked out and they are having some ice melt throughout the cold tension building up there.
Whoopi is asking for a little more pocket change in order to stay. ABC big wigs might consider the option.
Whoopi has been the host and chief moderator of the hit daytime show. It's struggling against Julie Chen, Melissa Gilbert and Sharon Osbourne's CBS daytime show The Talk.
Whoopi along with Raven-Symone, Paula Faris, Joy Behar, and Candace Cameron-Bure have hosted the show throughout the 2015-16 season.
If Whoopi bounces from the show, who are they planning on bring onto the program. I mean it's difficult to replace a fixture that's hosted the seat since 2007. You know the 2005-07 season was one of The Views most controversial.
Former hosts Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck have often sparred on the show and it generated huge ratings. O'Donnell who engaged in a feud with Donald Trump was being trashed by Fox News.
Hasselbeck who appeared on Fox programs was defending rhetoric from that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Trump. It led a major fallout between the two and Whoopi had to come in and save the show.
Hasselbeck joined Fox News in 2012 and left late last year. ABC might consider rehiring the controversial agitator back to the seats. At least she won't be the odd woman out. Co-host Candace Cameron-Bure and guest host Melissa Joan Hart are conservative and they've often clashed with the women on issues.
Raven-Symone is a former child star who joined The View in spring 2015. She formally took on the role as pop culture agitator in the fall. She cause a bit of controversy when she defended the McKinley, Texas cop who slammed a girl on the ground. She defended the South Carolina sheriff's deputy who flipped a girl out of her seat. She said she wouldn't hire any "Black sounding" names to her companies. She said that people comparing First Lady Michelle Obama to an ape or transexual is perfect fine.
There were calls to have Raven-Symone fired out the cannon. ABC said that they're willing to keep her on if she chooses to stay.
No disrespect to Chris Rock, I choose to not watch the 88th Academy Awards show. I am not interested in that stuff. I don't find no interest in watching entertainers show off their dresses, their new relationships, their new baby bumps or the social media buzzing about what happened.
I tend to be very reclusive when it comes to the social media and what people do. I get jealous of people bragging about their successes. Hollywood is a part of that.
Many others who struggle to get acting roles are often shunned because of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and disability. Some say it's the talent that judges you!
But given that some of the most critically acclaimed movies being shunned, I figured that I wouldn't watch this regardless. Even if a Black comic who addresses racial issues hosted it, I find no interest in awards shows. I just going to summarize it and give an honest take to what happened.
The country's most notorious racial agitator splashed this on his conservative Criagslist today.
Chris Rock's performance at the Academy Awards was good. I mean it was brutally honest. It opened up a discussion to why no person of color being nominated for an Oscar for a second time in a row.
The comedian's monologue and skits were so funny and yes really straight to the point.
The junk food media was talking about it all morning. They were picking apart every skit. They had praised Rock for being upfront about the Academy Awards being inclusive.
He took on #OscarsSoWhite.
He took jabs at fellow comedians such as Kevin Hart.
He took jabs at Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The Smiths were boycotting the event after Jada took to the internet to protest the nomination. She and Spike Lee became the most visible faces of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
Leonardo DiCaprio won an Academy Award for the first time.
"What happened this year? People went nuts. Spike [Lee] got mad. Jada went mad. Will [Smith] went mad. Everyone went mad!" Rock said about all the celebs wanting to protest the Oscars. "Jada said she's not coming. I was like, ‘isn't she on TV show?' Jada's gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited!"
People gasped and laughed at the joke. But when Rock when back to monologue, he sympathizes with Jada and Spike Lee's grievance.
"Her man Will was not nominated for Concussion. I get it. You get mad. It's not fair that Will was this good and didn't get nominated. You're right," he said. "It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!"
Chris opened his monologue with a jab at the montage that played at the beginning of the show, featuring all the movies the Academy is celebrating during the show.
"I counted at least 15 black people in that montage!" he laughed. "Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White Peoples Choice Awards."
"You realize if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job. Y'all be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now….I thought about quitting. I thought about it real hard. But I realized, they're going to have the Oscars anyway. They're not going to cancel the Oscars because I quit," Rock reasoned. "And the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart!"
Rock was also quick to point out that a lack of diversity among nominees has always been a problem, long before this year's Oscars.
"Why this Oscars? It's the 88th Academy Awards, which means this whole 'no black nominee' has happened like 71 other times. You gotta figure it happened in the ‘50s, in the ‘60s...and black people didn't protest. You know why? Because black people had real things to protest at the time. Too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won Best Cinematographer. You know, when your grandmother is swinging from a tree, it's hard to care about Best Documentary Foreign Short."
"This year, things are going to be a little different at the Oscars," he promised. "This year in the In Memoriam package, it's just going to be black people who were shot by the cops on their way to the movies."
He also had a pretty easy solution for getting more nominations for black actors.
"If you want black people every year at the Oscars, just have black categories, like 'Best Black Friend.' And the winner for the 18th year in a row is Wanda Sykes!" Rock quipped, before finally turning serious. "What I'm trying to say is, it's not about boycotting. We want opportunity. We want the black actors to get the same opportunities as white actors. That's it! Not just once."
Chris Rock brought on Girl Scouts to sell cookies to some of the entertainers. That drew high the biggest applause of the night.
Well I heard that Leonard DeCaprio finally got his Oscar for the performance in The Reverent. From the days of being a teen actor, Leo has dreamed that day would come. He was nominated over five times and never earned an Oscar for them. Today, he is finally an award winner.
Leo's is a devoted environmentalist who believes that the time is now to get things done about climate change. And yes, he devoted his Oscar to those who struggled for this opportunity.
Vice President Joe Biden was there in attendance. He had an opportunity to introduce Grammy award winning/Oscar nominated singer/actress Lady Gaga.
Vice President Joe Biden gives message to America about sexual abuse.
Biden was pressing the audience to address sexual abuse on college campuses. This was a prime issue among the vice president and President Barack Obama.
“Despite significant progress over the last few years, too many woman and men on and off college campuses are still victims of sexual abuse,” the Veep told industry power players and the tens of millions watching on TV. “Tonight, I’m asking you to join millions of Americans including me, President Obama, the thousands of students I’ve met on college campuses and the artists here tonight to take the pledge.”
“The pledge says I will intervene in situations where consent has not or can not be given,” Biden said. “Let’s change the culture, we must and we can change the culture.”
Lady Gaga’s performance of the performance of Best Original Song nominee “Til It Happens To You” from the documentary The Hunting Ground.
Whoopi Goldberg was mistaken for Oprah Winfrey by Total Beauty.
She performed the song with victims of sexual and child abuse.
Total Beauty did the digital dash. Of course, they couldn't tell the difference between Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey.
Goldberg is an Oscar award winning actress who is the host of The View. The beauty brand company noticed that Whoopi is heavily tattooed. They expressed surprise that the person who they thought was in the photo, talk show host and actress Oprah Winfrey, had tattoos.
They said: “We had no idea @Oprah was #tatted and we love it.”
Social media went brutal on Total Beauty. The Independent reports that the hashtag “ThatsNotOprah” quickly went viral.
The mix-up prompted anger and frustration on twitter, with one user saying: “Are you fucking kidding me?!? The ONE black woman at the #Oscars and you fuck it up.”
Many people also took to social media to jokingly post pictures of white actors and deliberately name them incorrectly.
Total Beauty quickly went to social media to apologize for the error.
We’d like to apologize to Oprah and Whoopi, as well as everyone we’ve offended. It was our error, and there are no excuses. We’re sorry.
Goldberg will likely address this controversy on The View as well as her former friend who turned into a conservative agitator.
Washed up actress Stacey Dash puts her two cents into the Chris Rock performance. The actress who is also political commentator came onto stage shocking many in the audience. People didn't even recognize her. She was a part of the Rock skit for "minority outreach".
"I cannot wait to help my people out," Dash announced to a baffled audience. "Happy Black History Month!"
The reaction, both in the live audience where even Oscar nominated/Grammy award winning singer The Weeknd was like "What the fuck!"
While many panned her for even showing up, Dash basically laughed it off. "When they added ME to increase the diversity, I'm sure many Black people rolled their eyes. I'm not 'Black enough', they say. But guess what? I've heard that all my life. I would rather be a free thinking Black than a cookie cutter Black who thinks and votes---just like all my friends".
Well here's a clue for the "Clueless". Dash, you're the cookie cutter and you're baked!
Anyway when the Nielsen ratings come out, we'll find out if the viewership is high or low!
Cable network strikes back at washed up celebrity Stacey Dash
Stacey Dash getting hammered by Black entertainers. The washed up actress who appeared on that right wing network to blast a cable network that caters to Black culture.
BET got a taste of the venom Dash delivered a week ago. She went on that right wing network to say that Black America should eliminate Black History Month, BET and the NAACP Image Awards.
Dash believes that these awards are solely handed to Black entertainers and not White ones.
Of course, she got that wrong. BET fired back at her for that one. They even said that she's one to talk. Her ass appeared on the BET comedy-drama The Game.
BET devoted Jams to her. They played every video of her with the hashtag #NeverForget,
Videos that featured Stacey Dash included Memphis rapper MJG "That Girl", Carl Thomas' "Emotional", Kanye West's "All Falls Down", and Rick Ross' "Super High".
I am guessing BET is playing "Moving", "Mo Money", "Clueless" and Renaissance Man. These were movies Dash appeared in.
Rick Ross and Stacey Dash on the set of his music video.
Dash got slammed by her cousin Dame Dash, the former CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records. He says his cousin is doing "world class coonary"
She blasted Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee for boycotting the Oscars after they failed to nominate Black entertainers. Jada's husband Will Smith was snubbed in his role in Concussion.
Many agitators in the junk food media claim that Jada and Will's Overbrook Entertainment doesn't do enough for the Black community. They claim that now "they want to take action after it affects them".
For the record, Jada and Will have donated $$$$$$$$$$$ to charity and invested in working in the communities they've grown up in. Will grew up in Philadelphia and Jada grew up in Baltimore.
As usual the concern troll nonsense that drives attention from reality. Out of 2,900 awards being handed out, only 31 Black winners of the Academy Awards.
That's a real problem that needs to be solved.
Now that it's gotten attention, many of the detractors are working overtime to discredit #OscarsSoWhite and #BlackLivesMatter.
Dash lit up a shit storm from many in the Black community.
You know the trolls of the racist right are out! Ever since Jada Pinkett Smith made the call to boycott the Oscars after another year of no Black nominees, conservatives have jumped on the bandwagon to attack her, Spike Lee and President Barack Obama.
The concern trolls, the White extremists and the flagrant flamers are working overtime in trying to undermine the message.
The most common theme among conservatives is "BET gave awards to Black people, what's the big deal?" or "You guys should stop complaining, the movies sucked!".
The creator of the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag April Reign praises Jada's boycott. She believes the time is now to address the controversy and keep pressure on the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences to change course, fast.
The Drudge Report (which I refer to as the conservative Craigslist) spotlighted the washed up celebrity Janet Hubert's vicious rant on Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith.
Hubert, who once played Aunt Vivian on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was fired out the cannon. She blames Smith for getting her blackballed in Hollywood. She jumped on the concern troll wagon telling stories about how Will's refusal to stick up for her during a contractual dispute lead to the bitter feud. Hubert says that Blacks have more concerns than some statue. I happen to agree with her only in that sense. But unfortunately, if this is swept under the rug, we condone this and that's what Hubert is missing.
Michael B. Jordan in the movie Creed.
Conservatives have seen Aunt Viv's rant as a way to denounce the boycott.
But it hasn't stopped many others from rallying to her defense. George Clooney, Snoop Dogg, Lupita Nyong'o, Idris Elba, Michael Moore, David Oyelowo, Whoopi Goldberg, and even Oscars host Chris Rock have spoken in favor of Jada's boycott.
Spike Lee appeared on Good Morning America to say that he'll be watching a New York Knicks game instead of watching or going to the Oscars. Lee said that he supports his brother Chris [Rock] and his decisions are his to own. He also said that Academy's president Cheryl Isaacs Boone is a sister of the cause but in a dilemma of her own creating.
A British film critic agitated the controversy even more. Mediaite reports that Jason Solomons basically said that Blacks should be snubbed if they're playing minstrel characters. He said that black people shouldn't win covet nominations for playing "gangster rappers" like the Straight Outta Compton cast, or an "African savage" like Idris Elba‘s Beasts of No Nation character.
Now this probably a member of the Academy voting committee basically saying that Black talent isn't valued.
Calls for a cannon fire plague entertainer Raven-Symone.
One too many slips now has the former child star facing a backlash.
Raven-Symone (Pearman) started co-hosting The View in April. She was formally introduced to the program during the Fall season. Now six months in, many fans of the daytime talk show are calling for her removal.
In the wake of Officer Slam, the entertainer said the cop went out of line when did his take down of the teen. However, she slammed the teen for not listening to the cop.
She basically said that the teen should have put her damn phone up.
Officer Slam (formerly known as Ben Fields) was fired out the cannon last week.
I've heard a handful of students weren't happy about his cannon fire. The conservative agitators were promoting the counter-protest. Some students walked out of class in support of the now former South Carolina deputy for the Richland County sheriff's department.
There's a petition calling for ABC to fire the entertainer out the cannon. So far they see the entertainer as a goldmine. They consider her the Black version of Rosie O'Donnell.
On Change.org, there's a petition calling for a cannon fire. So far over 135,000 people signed on to the petition. I am guessing that Raven-Symone signed it too as a middle finger to those who want to throw "political correctness" around.
Che Scott-Heron, the U.K. woman who started the petition, wrote on the petition's website that Raven's statements only hurt the black community.
"African Americans and black people around the diaspora need a voice representative of their views and not a voice representative of what white people want us to say." Heron wrote. "We need strong black role models in prominent positions on television and Raven-Symoné cannot provide that. That is why I ask that we petition to remove her from 'The View.'"
As the daytime talk show enters its 19th season, ratings are down. CBS daytime's The Talk enters its 6th season within striking distance of The View. The second quarter ratings bested The View.
By the way, the third worst person to host a cable news show got a petition calling for his cannon fire. Don Lemon also faced a backlash after he got a kick out watching Officer Slam flipping the teen.
I'm proud to be...me! Rachel Dolezal comes out of hiding to tell the public that she's pregnant. By the way, she's White.
The former NAACP president who brought her "faux pas" to the junk food media announced she is pregnant. Oh, by the way, she admits that she is a White woman. She's also admits she's bisexual.
This woman is a hot mess.
Rachel Dolezal became a lightening rod for the agitators in the media. Despite all the good she's done for the civil rights organization, she hid the fact that she was a White woman portraying herself as a Black woman.
Dolezal's own parents "outed" her as a White woman. They told the junk food media that she was born in Montana. She wasn't adopted. She does volunteer work for the community. She was infatuated with Black culture. She lied to get into Howard University. She married a Black man. She adopted two Black teen boys. She even tries to talk "Black".
The junk food media sought interviews with her and wanted to know why did she fake the funk!
Dolezal refuses to be called a White woman. She says that she's a product of African roots.
The Real got an opportunity to talk to her.
She also addresses her feud with her family.
The Real co-hosts Tamar Braxton and Loni Love asked Dolezal about the matter sans pretense.
“It was hurtful to a lot of Black women,” said Love. “There were some people who felt that you never identified yourself as white so when you went to Howard University. Some people felt like they never knew you were Black, and so maybe the scholarship, you know when you got admitted to Howard, that took an opportunity from a Black woman.”
Rachel Dolezal talks about her ordeal and her pregnancy. She gets a grilling from Loni Love and Tamar Braxton.
“Right, and that’s why I said, I acknowledge that I was biologically born white to white parents, but I identify as Black,” Dolezal responded.
Whether or not her admitting to being born white was enough, Braxton pushed the issue further and asked what ethnicity Dolezal lists herself as in official forms and documentation. Say, if she were to fill out a job application. Dolezal’s response?
“The form in particular usually defines things,” she said, before adding: “I check white and black, because we all have human origins in the continent of Africa.”
Dolezal did receive a standing ovation from the crowd for admitting her white heritage, as well as for her supposedly being honest while answering the co-hosts’ questions.
Raven-Symoné is a certified nut job. She says that if she wouldn't hire any Black sounding names. Yet, her name is!
The View co-host is a very eccentric woman. The entertainer gave up the squeaky clean Cosby, Disney kid image and came out a raging lesbian and celebrity agitator. She's a kush rolling, Marlboro Light smoking, multi-hair dying, nutjob who fell off the wagon.
Since the Cheetah Girls broke up, Raven went wild. She had a secret pregnancy. She got involved with bisexual model/actress AzMarie Livingston and running her mouth like she's a genius of Black culture.
Raven-Symoné Pearlman joined The View in Spring 2015 along with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Bahar, ABC's Paula Faris, comedian Michelle Collins, actress/activist Candace Cameron-Bure (of Full House fame).
The ladies debate the latest "HOT TOPICS" and often get a controversial theme going.
Today on Friday's episode of The View, Raven-Symoné does something that's not so Raven.
She pops off about the know-hows to an earning a career. She claims that having "Black names" won't get you hired.
On a segment titled "Are You Judged By Your Name?" the former Cheetah Girl, donning a fire engine-red mohawk, said she wouldn't hire anyone with a "black" sounding name.
“Can we take back 'racist' and say 'discriminatory,' because I think thats a better word," she said while laughing. "And I’m very discriminatory against the words like the ones they were saying in those names. I’m not going to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. That’s just not going to happen. I’m not going to hire you.”
Cue the irony.....What's her name?
I bet you money, that if she wasn't a somewhat successful entertainer, I bet you she wouldn't get a job because she has a "BLACK" sounding name.
I miss them days when she played a "bubblehead" on television and not one in real life.
Actor Damon Wayans goes to the junk food media to defend his mentor, Bill Cosby.
The nation of Cosby collapsed after numerous accusations of rape and sexual assault allegations came forth. In a sworn testimony, Cosby admitted to using items that would make women extremely tired.
Wayans is not convinced that Cosby did this. He went on The Breakfast Club to defend him.
"If I was him, I would divorce my wife, wink-wink, give her all my money, and then I would go do a deposition," says the actor. "I'd have some wine and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don’t believe that he was raping."
"It’s a money hustle". Wayans continued, saying, "Forty years — listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years? If you listen to them talk, they go, ‘Well, the first time…’ The first time? Bitch, how many times did it happen? Just listen to what they’re saying and some of them really is unrape-able. I look at them and go, ‘You don’t want that. Get outta here.’”
Again understanding that rape is traumatic and 90% of the time, rape goes unreported.
Wayans is ignorant. Many rape victims often don't report their accuser because of power, the state of belief and money. Cosby obviously paid off women when he was caught doing it. I mean he's often trying to keep his legacy afloat. He would gladly silence an accuser if it stopped her from revealing his horrible deeds.
The famous Cosby frown.
Wayans don't see that some rape victims would commit suicide or have an unwanted pregnancy.
When Cosby was accused by a woman of fathering her child, he denied it. Shawn Upshaw, the mistress and her daughter Autumn Jackson tried to extort him. Jackson got some time in the iron college for this event. Many people sided with Cosby on that issue. Despite failed attempts to get a DNA test, Cosby refuses to acknowledge this.
Wayans should be very careful about his words. He could face some serious backlash for his comments. Trust me, rape is not funny or a rite of passage. It's a serious criminal act and it could land you in the iron college for LIFE or in some cases death.
In this gotcha media society, you have to have proof that a rape occurred.
Concern trolls often shame a rape victim.
"She shouldn't have dressed like that!"
"She always slept around!"
"She said that she wanted to have sex!"
"She cries rape to get attention!"
"He should be raped in prison!"
"He had it coming"
"Like, most high school boys, they don't care if they bang the teacher!"
Did you know the first Black family of comedy are the Wayans.
Keenen Ivory, Damon, Marlon, Shawn, Kim, Damon, Jr., Chaunte, and Damien Wayans are entertainers, comedians, writers and producers. They each had a hand in either a movie, a sitcom or animated series.
Keenen and Damon created In Living Color, the iconic sketch comedy on Fox. The show lasted for five seasons. It sparked the careers of Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey and Larry Wilmore.
Bill Cosby's best friend Whoopi Goldberg turned on him.
The nation of Cosby has collapsed. The controversy surrounding Bill Cosby has finally reached the breaking point. Many celebrities have dumped Cosby as a friend.
One celebrity is now peddling back her comments. She was defending Cosby and it happened to grab John Oliver's attention. So on Last Week Tonight, Oliver cataloged every event that The View host Whoopi Goldberg defending Cosby and other celebrities caught up in some crazy stuff.
While she agree that Cosby is innocent until proven guilty, the defense of him is now over.
"I gotta say all the information out there kind of points to guilt," she said. "It looks bad, Bill."
She went on The View to express disappointment in him. She also blasted the critics for not understanding how things are often taken out of context. Golberg said she wasn't defending his actions.
Cosby has went into hiding. He still denies that he's done wrong but he knows that his legacy is ruined.
Many Americans once looked to Bill Cosby as the perfect father figure. I mean I grew up watching The Cosby Show, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids and A Diff'rent World.
Now every time I see Cosby's face, I just cringe!
I mean this is bigger than I've thought!
Before I move on I want to say that Rosie Perez is out. Perez had announced that she's bouncing off The View because of dysfunction between her and Rosie O'Donnell (who left earlier). Rosie will return to Broadway and probably do guest hosting.
The Cosby Show's alumni Raven Symone and comedian Michelle Collins recently joined The View.
They will formally be introduced in the Fall season.
ABC adds entertainer Raven-Symoné to The View. A throwback from her hit Disney series That's So Raven.
That's so Raven.
Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman professionally is an actress, singer, model and activist.
She was a Cheetah Girl. She was Hanging With Mr. Cooper. She was a Cosby kid. She was a singer who debuted an album at the young age of 7. Men drooled over her when she done the modeling gig.
Now during the daytime, she will give her opinion on the latest issues.
ABC announced that The View will continue another season with Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez, Nicole Wallace and Raven-Symoné.
She is the youngest co-host so far to join the daytime program.
It's struggling since the departure of Barbara Walters and the recent cannon firings of Sherri Shepard, Jenny McCarthy and Rosie O'Donnell. O'Donnell's return was clouded with controversy.
Whoopi Goldberg, Nicole Wallace, Rosie Perez, and Raven-Symoné. ABC announced that Raven-Symoné will continue on as a co-host and have a formal debut in the Fall.
Whoopi was appointed as moderator and Rosie often clashed with her over that. The cannon fired her out again. Although O'Donnell stated that she's dealing with personal matters involving her estranged wife, the junk food media knew it was a matter of time before she was going to be loaded in the cannon.
CBS daytime is winning the war. The Talk is in striking distance of The View and this is concerning to Walters and co-executive producer Bill Wolff.
Adding Raven-Symoné could be beneficial. I mean she's extremely passionate about issues like McCarthy. So expect a dash of controversial statements from Raven.
Her recent features were on Fox's Empire and ABC's black-ish.
Gone are the Disney themed cliches and the normal. She is extremely eccentric but still a down to earth woman to meet.
She turned all that away. She picked up a pack of smokes, dyed her hair like Miley Cyrus and started the spiral. Like most Disney stars, they hated the image. They had to erase the image. Raven-Symoné is no different.
A few years back, the entertainer publicly acknowledged that she's a lesbian and told tales of being tired of the being a "label".
She resides in either Los Angeles or Atlanta with her daughter and girlfriend AzMarie Livingston.
On Friday, the urban gospel world lost a legendary singer and talent. Andrae Crouch passed away and there's an outpouring of sympathy from his family and many friends. Of course, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Andraé Crouch.
Crouch was considered the godfather of modern day urban gospel.
Crouch was known for his compositions "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power", "My Tribute (To God Be the Glory)" and "Soon and Very Soon". In secular music, he was known for his collaborative work during the 1980s with Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Quincy Jones as well as conducting choirs that sang on the Michael Jackson hit "Man in the Mirror" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer".
Crouch was noted for his talent of incorporating contemporary secular music styles into the gospel music he grew up with. His efforts in this area were what helped in paving the way for early American contemporary Christian music during the 1960s and 1970s.
Crouch's original music arrangements were heard in the films The Color Purple and Disney's The Lion King, as well as the NBC television series Amen. Awards received by him include seven Grammy Awards, being inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1998, and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004.
Crouch was hospitalized in early December 2014 for pneumonia and congestive heart failure. As a result, his December tour was postponed.
He was hospitalized again on January 3, 2015 in Los Angeles, as the result of a heart attack. Crouch died five days later at Northridge Hospital Medical Center on January 8, 2015, at the age of 72.
On the same day, his sister, Sandra, released the following statement: "Today my twin brother, womb-mate and best friend went home to be with the Lord. Please keep me, my family and our church family in your prayers. I tried to keep him here but God loved him best."
Following Crouch's death, Christian recording artist Michael W. Smith told Billboard Magazine, "...I'll never forget hearing Andraé for the first time. It was like someone had opened a whole new world of possibilities for me musically. I don't think there is anyone who inspired me more, growing up, than Andraé Crouch. The depth of his influence on Christian music is incalculable. We all owe him so much and I'll forever be grateful for the times we got to work together."
Going to a place that she can truly be herself, Elisabeth Hasselbeck joins Loserville. She departs from the ABC talk show The View. The controversial reality star is often in trouble for her behavior on set and towards people she doesn't like. Say there's President Barack Obama for example.
Looks like CBS is winning the battle of angry women. The Talk is rising and The View is falling. With the departures of Joy Behar and Barbara Walters, one was thinking that obnoxious right winger, was going to be next. It's proven right.
Getting fired from ABC isn't what keeps the 36 year old former reality star from the limelight.
What keeps Elisabeth Hasselbeck in the spotlight is those two chauvinist jackasses on that right wing network. She will be sitting on couch of Loserville & Friends with Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy.
She's jumping onto the network that hates President Barack Obama, Trayvon Martin and anything that stands for in the progressive movement.
Loserville has hired her to replace longtime host of Loserville & Friends Gretchen Carlson. In the swinging deck chairs, the 47 year old turdchor is going to replace Megyn Kelly on America Live.
Martha MacCallum will be temporary fill-in for Megyn Kelly who is out for baby leave.
The View is seeing its longtime hosts leave. The two partisans Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck are going out. Barbara Walters is retiring from ABC.
The switch begins in September and we'll hear more of Hasselbeck's ignorance.
During the days of Rosie O'Donnell, The View saw its ratings rise when O'Donnell and Hasselbeck raised their vocal octanes.
In 2007, O'Donnell really got into it with Hasselbeck after Loserville went hard on her.
Hasselbeck appeared on That Guy Who Helped Obama Win's show and practically allowed that fool talk trash about O'Donnell.
News of Hasselbeck's new job comes on the heels of Jenny McCarthy starting talks to replace Joy Behar on The View. The loss of three panelists within the year means that the veteran daytime talker will be undergoing a substantial on-camera facelift -- something that might help curb its ratings dips.
Walters had previously denied reports of Hasselbeck's exit, particularly one story that claimed polled viewers found her "too extreme and right-wing."
I'll post that Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck video.
Well I guess I have a heart. I'll put on her emotional goodbye video!
Christian Bale wraps his final role as the dark crusader in the latest summer blockbuster.
There's a huge controversy from a bunch of conservative agitators who believe the movie is promoting an agenda that favors President Barack Obama.
Rush Limbaugh once again goes through the movie script and determines that the Batman: The Dark Knight Rises is a liberal conspiracy.
I didn't want to waste my time on this story because it's obviously going another attempt to attack President Barack Obama. The movie is going to bring billions to Warner Bros. Studios.
Based on the DC Comics, Batman takes on Selena Kyle (known as Catwoman) and mercenary Bane.
The conservative agitator warns of a conspiracy theory because of the naming of the cast villain being a dig at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's former employer Bain Capital.
Batman is likely going to break into the Spider-Man and Avengers mold. The billions of dollars that superhero movies obtain are monumental.
Rush Limbaugh isn't a big fan of pop culture unless he's a part of it.
Remember this guy pretended to be a liberal for Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy.
MacFarlane is a liberal activist, comedian, singer and producer of raunchy comedies such as the movie Ted, sitcoms The Cleveland Show, American Dad and Family Guy.
The creators of Rotten Tomatoes were getting death threats after Rush Limbaugh and The Drudge Report rambled on about the Batman movie controversy.
If anything, Batman needs a new villain. How about a overweight commentator who was electrocuted by lightening bolt and became a supervillain. Oh, they have Livewire! How about Shock Rush?
Nevermind, I never was good with this namebranding!
The tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado will be explained in the article I've written here!
