Touré: 28 Days Isn't Black History!

Obama News commentator slams the racist right for the notion of White History Month!

The racist right is unnerved over the fact that non-White interracial births are rising.

They've often attack the Black community and President Barack Obama for "ruining" America.

They blame us for grabbing "gubmint gibbs mes" and beating up on "da man".

And of course we're rewarded for our antics! We got Black History Month in February.

For the 28 (or 29) days in the smallest month of the year, Black Americans gather to post their achievements and remind "da man" that we've contributed to the greatness of this country.

The Cycle co-host Touré delivered a commentary that attempted to explain one of the enduring mysteries of Black History Month, and which included a modest proposal to give white people some way of gaining an advantage from their race.

Touré is up to the task, comparing the question to “fish not noticing water,” and quoting Chauncey de Vega of We Are Respectable Negroes comparing white angst over the month to “being a kid with all the toys in the world, and going to a birthday party and getting mad because another kid got a toy.”

Never one to simply curse the darkness, or blackness in this case, Touré offers up a solution: a “Race Card” for white people. The card would allow white people to use their race to get an advantage, and as Touré says, “it can be used at job sites, shopping malls, police stops, wherever where race matters.”

“The genius of it is that works just as white privilege does,” he continues. “You need do nothing to activate it. The advantage happens automatically, just like White History Month happens automatically.”

Jesse Johnson's Revue ~ Can You Help Me

The Queen Bee's Honey!

Rapper and reality star reveals pregnancy.

Valentine's Day brings news of a veteran rapper of being a first time mommy.

Brooklyn rapper Lil' Kim has decided the time is now to be a parent. As she prepares for the 4-0, Kimberly Jones is flaunting more than the melons. She is sprouting a bump.

Since the Hardcore days, Lil' Kim has flaunted around her "diva" in the faces of men and women alike.

Growing up in the fold of her mentor Notorious B.I.G., Lil' Kim has performing a freestyle rap and it brought her a music career. 

She would be the "female capo" of Biggie's group Junior M.A.F.I.A., whose debut album Conspiracy generated three hit singles.

Lil' Kim's debut studio album, Hard Core (1996) was certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and spawned three consecutive No. 1 rap hits: "No Time", "Not Tonight (Ladies Night remix)", and "Crush on You", a record for a female rapper. 

Her following albums, The Notorious K.I.M. (2000) and La Bella Mafia (2003), were certified Platinum, making her the only female rapper besides Missy Elliott to have at least 3 platinum albums. She was featured on the single, "Lady Marmalade", which also had guest vocals by fellow recording artists Mýa, Pink and Christina Aguilera (a remake of the 1975 smash hit, originally recorded by LaBelle) which went to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, making her the first female rapper to have a No. 1 on that chart. In addition, the remake won two MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year, and a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 44th Grammy Awards in 2002. In 2005, she served a year long prison sentence for lying to a jury about her friends' involvement in a shooting four years earlier. 

During her incarceration, her fourth album The Naked Truth was released. 

She returned to the public eye in 2009 with an appearance on Dancing with the Stars.

Lil Kim, Mr. Papers
Papers please. The Brooklyn don diva appears with Mr. Papers, the apparent father of her expecting.
Throughout her career, Lil' Kim has earned several accolades for her work. Her songs "No Time", "Big Momma Thang" and "Ladies Night" were listed on Complex Magazine's "The 50 Best Rap Songs By Women", at number 24, 13, and 7, respectively. Crush On You, It's All About the Benjamins and Money, Power, Respect appear on VH1's "The 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs".

In 2012, she was honorably listed on VH1's "100 Greatest Women In Music" list at number 45, the second highest position for a solo female hip-hop artist.

Apparently the rapper has been in the middle months of pregnancy and people wanna know who the "baby daddy!"

Some cat named Mr. Papers. I never heard of him, but he'll be known for being the one guy who managed to at least spark an already washed up career.

Should it be said that Lil' Kim is a washed up celebrity? 

I mean how many albums have she released? She hasn't put out an full album in 10 years.

There's a video that appears on YouTube back in 2013 showing the two making out!

I hate to say this, but I'm kind of jealous. She's 40 years old (technically 39 before July) and she's getting knocked up by some young cat. I wouldn't be surprise the baby daddy still gets carded when he goes into a club.

I mean that's the definition of cougar.
When her plastic surgery wasn't noticeable.
On the real, her rival and probably the only Black female rapper who managed to push two double platinum albums. And those who weren't born after 1991 may have heard of her but actually thought it was the rival.

All eyes on Roman.........Not on the Queen!

Anyway, the rapper is going to put her business on a reality show so everyone will know what goes on in the mind of a pregnant rapper. 

Well wishes to Lil' Kim on being a parent. But please keep your personal business off the camera. 

I'm just saying! No disrespect.

The BLACKS Shot Me!

Brent Thomas Posada (Facebook)
I guess shooting myself in the abdomen is the Blacks fault. 

Another stupid racial hoax brought to you by the stupid people of Cali.

My question to the readers here, why would you post a picture of yourself holding a firearm if you're not capable of using it?

A California man who shot himself admitted that to police this week that he had lied and blamed the shooting on an African-American man.

In a Monday interview, Brent Thomas Posada told Redding police that he intentionally shot himself with a high-power air rifle on Feb. 1, according to The Record Search Light.

According to his Twitter page, he is a 30 something, a father of three, who is a writer, and a liberal conservative Republicarat (Yes that's my word).

Yeah, he's a great writer of bullshit. This BITCH lied about a Black person shooting him with his own stupid ass air rifle.

Officers had become involved after Shasta Regional Medical Center reported a gunshot victim to authorities.

At the time, Posada had claimed that he was standing on the sidewalk when a man approached him and pointed a handgun at his head. Posada said that he pushed the suspect’s arm to the side and was shot in the abdomen.

He had described the black male suspect as 6 feet tall, 185 pounds, and in his late 20s. Posada said that the man had been “wearing a black hoodie-style sweatshirt, blue jeans and black, high-top shoes with silver stripes,” the The Record Search Light reported.

But after investigators found no evidence and in the area, and Posada’s clothing and injuries contradicted his version of events, he changed his story during Monday’s interview. Posada said that he had been in his apartment when he intentionally shot himself.

The case was referred to Shasta County district attorney’s office to determine if charges would be filed.

Newsone and The Raw Story contributed to this story.

Can Paula Deen Survive Another Scandal?

More pictures surface of celebrity chef with Black people.

Last year the Queen of Cuisine was shamed after it was revealed that she often said racial slurs about Black and Hispanic customers, now Paula Deen is promising a redemption.

Paula Deen Ventures controls the restaurants, cookbooks, and other properties that Deen owns, and it announced that it’s received a significant investment (between $75 and $100 million) from Najafi Media.

At a recent public event, Deen addressed the scandal that tanked her career for a spell last year, thanking all the people who stood by her and believed in her.

The person who sued Deen lost her battle.

Could you forgive Paula Deen?
