Show you how to do this son! - Raffi Torres, a NHL player who decided to go as Jay-Z for a Halloween party. The Phoenix Coyote hockey player got some huge flack for slapping on the shoe polish and sticking out his pouty lips. |
First things first, we have to make sure we get this out there. Politically conservative minded individuals are likely to harbor bigoted views of race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, education, social, political and economic standings.
One thing is clear, that media mogul Jay-Z and his wife, pop singer Beyonce are frequent targets of the junk food media after they've declared their open support of President Barack Obama.
By the way, they're Black celebrities! Well Beyonce and President Obama are biracial though.
It's not a political party that dictates racism. It's an inherited mindset from either cultural differences and lack of understanding of the human race.
So for those who think that we always bash the Republican Party for being enablers of racism, you're wrong!
Gloria Platko calls a local official an "arrogant nigger" in a taped conversation. |
One so is some Democratic official out of Michigan who uttered a racial slur at another member of the Democratic Party.
One of the good members of Mediaite, Tommy Christopher wrote about some old geezer talking smack about a Black county official. Buena Vista Township Clerk Gloria Platko is resisting demands that she step down after another local official, Interim Township Manager Dexter Mitchell (a Democrat), taped a phone conversation in which Platko referred to Township Supervisor Dwayne Parker (also a Democrat) as “an arrogant nigger.”
The 63 year-old Democrat later apologized for the “slip of the tongue,” but shockingly insisted that her use of the slur doesn’t make her racist, because she has “eaten Thanksgiving dinner with black friends at their house.”
“Yea, I probably should’ve used a word like ‘ignoramus’ or something like that, but I didn’t, and I’m sorry for the word I used,” Platko concluded.
Yeah, I have a few of them too.....!
This disgrace of a politico should get rolled out of the office. This piece of shit is allowed to say whatever the heck she wants, but the constituents who elected her rotten ass to the post should take consideration in voting next time. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end for this Gloria Platko.
Now over at Black Voices/Huffington Post, the University of California at Irvine has a few jocks acting out like a bunch of idiots. It's unfortunate that they've never understood that making a parody of something doesn't require black polish on your face. That black polish and that "shuckin' & jivin'" offends the Black community and it's likely they'll be doing community service in a Black neighborhood or barber shop real soon.
Asian fraternity under fire for blackface parody of Jay-Z. |
Lambda Theta Delta, UC Irvine's self-described first and largest Asian American fraternity, recently posted a video on YouTube featuring four brothers dancing to "Suit & Tie by Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The video names the students as Tony D. Duong, Philip Lam, Rainier Nanquil and Justin T. Nguyen. Nanquil is identified as the one in blackface who's supposed to be portraying Jay-Z. Most of the video just shows the brothers in a living room dressed formally and dancing to the camera. The end of the video advertises "Installs," which OC Weekly describes as an end-of-the-year celebration for the entrance of new brothers.
Thomas Parham, UC Irvine's vice chancellor for student affairs, told the Daily Pilot they're investigating the video.
"We are dismayed to see what I think is insensitive in a video parody that was made by these individuals," Parham said.
The Asian Pacific Student Association at UC Irvine also denounced the video as "deeply offensive" and "racist" in a Facebook post.
Lamba Theta Delta posted a statement on Facebook Wednesday apologizing for the offensive video, and saying the individuals involved would be punished.
The use of black face in the video is incredibly offensive as well as insensitive. This behavior is simply unacceptable and the individuals responsible for the video have already been reprimanded within the organization prior to the public outcry to which this formal apology is responding. We want to ensure everyone that this video does not represent the views of the collective house. With that being said it does acknowledge the fact that we have some ignorant individuals within our organization, whom we have already dealt with ourselves.
Although they've pulled the official video, it's reappeared on YouTube. Someone is publicly shaming these fools.
And lastly Gwyneth Paltrow, a close friend of both Jay-Z, Beyonce and Kanye West was under fire for being People Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman. The 40-year old entertainer is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and she's featured in Marvel's Iron Man 3 movie with Robert Downey, Jr. and Don Cheadle.

Many followers and critics were shocked to see that she would do such a thing.
Jay-Z gave her a pass. Most supporters tried to smooth the situation by saying that she's just tweeted the name of the song, not calling the rappers "Niggers".
Well this honor of being the most beautiful really shocked her in a good way.
“I can’t believe it,” Paltrow said of the honor. “I kept thinking, ‘This can’t be true.’ I’ve never been more surprised or flattered.”
Among the many other stars who made the list: Adele, Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence, and Halle Berry, who has been on the list sixteen times.

Being voted the most beautiful is a high accomplishment. But this title comes with detractors.
Some felt the title should have went to actress Jennifer Lawrence. The actress turned down the nod according to some of the celebrity agitators in the junk food media.
Regardless of what the haters say, Gwyneth Paltrow is beautiful and no one can take that away from her.
So to those socially awkward people who want to "talk black", "act black" or "complain about Black", please continue to do so at your discretion.
You may end up looking like a damn fool at the end of the day.
You don't have Jay-Z money nor his baby's money. By baby it's either his wife or his child.
Jay-Z appears on Roc-A-Fella Records.
Kanye West appears on Roc-A-Fella Records.
Beyonce appears on Columbia Records/Sony Music Group.
Chris Martin appears on Parlophone/Capitol Records.
Gwyneth Paltrow as a singer appears on Hollywood Records.
