In Trump's America, women of color getting attacked once again.  

In Chicago, a recruiter "accidentally" sent racially and sexually offensive e-mail to job hunter Connie Cheung.  

Ms. Cheung is an immigrant from China who was looking for employment in Chicago when James McMahon, a White man, sent an offensively racist email to her.  He said the e-mail is meant for his boss Brian Haugh.

I wonder how certain men in power view women of different races from their own.  While Asian women are objectified and fetishized beyond belief by nonasian men, esp. White American men.  

“Asian females have always been sexualized because of their history with Western males,” Cheung told Block Club Chicago.

He wrote about Miss Cheung using the phrase, "me love you long time."

The racially offensive phrase came from the 1987 movie, Straight Metal Jacket, in which a Vietnamese sex worker advertised herself to U.S. solders stationed there.  Rap group 2 Live Crew covered the song with that racially offensive phrase back in 1990, when the group came under fire by conservatives for their sexually suggested language.

This is disgusting to not only Asian and other women of Color, but to all women regardless of race.  Which is why we are fighting an uphill battle against sexual harassment and violence against women in the workplace.

Here's the post from U.S.A. Today regarding the incident in Chicago.

Chicago recruiter accidentally emails Asian-American female jobseeker racist phrase

An Asian-American woman in Chicago said that, upon confirming a job interview, a vice president of a local recruiting firm sent her an email containing a commonly-known racist phrase.

"Me love you long time," reads an e-mail that Connie Cheung said was accidentally sent to her by Jim McMahon, the vice president of Chicago Search Group.

Cheung applied for a job as an office management assistant on LinkedIn and was invited for a phone interview by McMahon via email, Block Club Chicago first reported.

But a day after confirming the interview, Cheung received the offending message sent to her accidentally by McMahon. 

The email was intended for McMahon's superior, Brian Haugh, who was listed as president of the company on its website. The site since appears to have been taken down.

"I was just shocked because it's been a while since I've personally received such racial and ignorant commentary relating to my ethnicity," Cheung told USA TODAY.

The phrase "me love you long time" originates from the 1987 film "Full Metal Jacket," in which a Vietnamese prostitute approaches an American soldier. It is widely considered among Asian-Americans to be racist and sexist.

McMahon apologized to Cheung for the offensive remark.

"I called Connie to apologize directly to her," McMahon said to USA TODAY Monday. 

"This was an isolated incident that will not happen again and my sincerest apologies go out to Connie and anyone else who was offended by this statement."

"It was intended for my business partner of over a decade who was also my college roommate," he added.

"This does not excuse or justify anything. However, imagine if everyone had every inappropriate comment or poor joke that was typed, texted or spoken available for the public to see. It is a reminder for all of us that we should communicate with anyone as if everyone was listening."

Haugh also issued an apology to USA TODAY. 

"It is clearly not our intent to add or create anything but positive value in the lives of our clients and candidates," he said. "We have apologized directly to the candidate and have addressed with our team that this conduct is unacceptable."

However, he reportedly threatened a friend of Cheung's with libel in an email after he reached out on behalf of Cheung to the company to ask for an apology.

"With all due respect, I am focused on bigger problems than your friend being offended by a movie quote," an email provided by Cheung shows Haugh saying.

"You may want to Google libel laws before your crew posts things publicly. Our attorneys are on call."

Since the incident, Cheung has continued her hunt for a job. It's taken about a month thus far.

"(The incident) also made me worried because who knows if other employers also feel racially prejudiced against me and made me wonder if that's prohibiting me from getting a job," she told USA TODAY.

Privileged White men think that they can say whatever they want and not face any kind of consequences whatsoever. They gonna learn.

My heart goes out to Miss Connie Cheung and her family.  She doesn't deserve this racist and sexist abuse from those douchebags.

Media Continues The Glaring Profiles Of "Hot Teachers" Raping Students!

Thao "Sandy" Donan faces the wrath of the public. She is a "hot teacher" caught in a tryst with a student. The student tried to blackmail the woman. She was caught by a suspicious mother.

Okay, I am getting really tired of these goddamn teacher-student sex stories.

The junk food media is trying to rationalize these predators in the classroom. I don't understand what drives these educators to this. I mean they get all the training and certification to teach individuals to achieve a decent education. Why on earth would they find love in the classroom with the people they're required to teach.

I know mentorship is a part of the teacher's position, but grooming them to have sex is another issue that is certainly getting my attention.

What pisses me off is the fact that every outlet in the junk food media seems to be picking and choosing which type of teacher gets caught in these deplorable scandals.

And what about the parents or the victim?

Usually rape of men is rare. But when a woman rapes a man, do men report that to the police?

Is that a sensitivity issue?

Another teacher was busted for having sex with her student. This one tried to extort from her in order to keep quiet. The junk food media puts a glaring picture of the teacher and how two wrongs lead to her arrest.

For the past 20 years, I was intrigued by how the junk food media covered these stories. Each of these teachers arrested are pretty attractive. I hear some get leniency for committing these acts of rape. Understand that most men find some very strong attraction to the hot teachers.

A 27-year-old teacher paid more than $28,000 — unwittingly, to the 14-year-old she was sleeping with.

Dallas Criminal Court documents describe the payments as hush money to cover up an affair that Tao "Sandy" Doan feared would cost her her job and her freedom.

She may lose both anyway. Police arrested Doan on Jan. 20 and charged her with having an improper relationship with a student and with sexual assault. The cycle of sex and blackmail came to an end after a concerned mother tried to figure out where her son was getting so much extra cash, according to an arrest warrant filed in criminal court.

Doan met the student while he attended Quintanilla Middle School, a school on the city’s west side where she taught math and social studies and coached the cross-country team, the court documents say. They began communicating via Kik, Instagram and text messages, then started having romantic conversations on the phone.

The relationship got physical in July 2015, according to the affidavit, when Doan picked the student up at his home and drove him to a park to have sex.

A search warrant affidavit obtained by Fox 4 described explicit texts and said Doan sent the student a picture of her naked breasts. They allegedly met for sex in the middle of November and on Dec. 29, 2015.

The threatening texts began a few days later, the affidavit says. Throughout the year, they came from different phone numbers and struck a demanding tone.

“(Ain’t) bulls — — watch ima start getting the pics and everything ready!” one of the blackmail texts read, according to the affidavit. “To show the cops right I (ain’t) playing.”

To make the payments, Doan withdrew money from her bank account or took out payday loans.

Even as she was making the payments, she continued having sex with the student, court documents said.

At home, the student, newly enriched, was becoming unruly, his mom told Dallas Fox-affiliate KDFW. He had already been in and out of the juvenile court system for burglary and robbery charges and things were getting worse. He used the money to buy drugs and alcohol. Sometimes he disappeared for days.

“He would probably get money and just leave the whole weekend,” she told Fox 4. “I wouldn’t hear from him. I’d be out looking for him.”

She went through his phone and found the text messages, KDFW reported. She believes the most recent payment was for $1,500 on Jan. 9.

She called the school the next day, trying to get it to put a stop to the relationship. Administrators called police.

Investigators met with Doan and interrogated her about her relationship with the student, and the year of payments, according to the documents. That’s when she provided preliminary figures about how much she had paid the student and gave them consent to search her cellphone, the affidavit says. They found evidence of both the blackmail and the sexual encounters.

The Dallas Independent School District and Doan’s attorney did not immediately respond to messages from The Washington Post seeking comment.

In 2016, the number of Texas teachers having inappropriate relationships with students climbed for the eighth year in a row, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

The increase, apparently spurred by increasing social media contact, led the Texas Education Agency to ask for nearly $400,000 more to hire investigators to look into the allegations.

“For the past decade, there has been a steady increase in the number of inappropriate educator-student relationships reported to the agency,” the agency’s budget request states. “As the caseload has increased, the number of investigators has remained the same over the past several years.”

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Unrepentant Motorist Got Life For Murder!

Unrepentant motorist gets LIFE for her callous attack on innocent parade watchers.

Adacia Chambers, the woman who ran her vehicle through a crowd of people in Stillwater, Oklahoma found justice. She was given a LIFE sentence in the iron college after the jury convicted her of murdering four people on her mission.

According to the law, she was under the influence when she decided to plow through the homecoming parade for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Chambers was sentenced after pleading no contest to four counts of second-degree murder and 39 counts of assault and battery.

She was fired out the cannon at Freddy's Custard and Steakburgers for being on drugs. She got angry and decided to end her life by taking out others.

Nash Lucas, a toddler, Nakita Prabhakar, a 23 year old MBA student at Oklahoma State and a married couple Bonnie and Marvin Stone, both 65 lost their lives to this unrepentant terrorist.

Her defense for this act of terrorism was mental issues. The jury said she showed intent.

Prosecutors says Chambers steered her car around a police barricade and sped up before plowing into spectators.

Chambers will now have a chance to appeal the decision. Unfortunately, the LIFE sentence does carry a chance a parole. After serving at least 30 years in the iron college, she may have an out.

Trump Picks Nikki Haley For UN Ambassador!

South Carolina governor Nikki Haley picked to be U.N. Ambassador.

The controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality television star who will be your 45th President of the United States picks former Tea Party darling South Carolina governor Nikki Haley as his pick for United Nations Ambassador.

The establishment governor was a fierce critic of the president-elect and supported Lil' Marco for president. She believed that his rhetoric was divisive and racist. I guess all that tiff-for-taff nonsense ended when became the president.

I guess he decided that having Haley on his team will be sort of like him grabbing her by the pussy.

Haley got praise for supporting the removal of a flag from the losing side of the Civil War. She faced pressure from many Civil Rights leaders. A mass shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church by a terrorist forced Haley to do something she likely wasn't sure of doing.

Haley is a woman of color. She is of Indian descendent. She is married to Michael Haley who is an active military and has three children.

The guy is considering Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) as his National Security Officer.

The Daily Show Rips Fox For Chinatown Skit!

O.G. mic drop. Ronny Chieng of The Daily Show rips apart Bill O'Reilly and Jesse Watters for an offensive skit about Chinese Americans.

Got to give it up to the folks over at The Daily Show, they see "bullshit" and their pointing it out!

Trevor Noah and Ronny Chieng lay into Bill O'Reilly and Jesse Watters for doing an offensive segment on The O'Reilly Factor. Watters who regularly ambushes people on the street once again had an opportunity to head to New York City's Chinatown to do a man on the street with older citizens who weren't following the U.S. Presidential Election.

Watters also did a handful of racial stereotypes of Asians.

"Is it the year of the dragon? Rabbit?"

"Do they call Chinese food in China just 'food?'"

"Do you know karate?"

Watch the video here.



The skit fell flat. Now Watters and his producer somewhat apologized for the skit.

But the apology wasn't sincere and it was up to Noah and Chieng to set the record straight.

"Everyone's been wondering who'd be the target for the year’s worst racism," Chieng said. "I didn't even know Asians were in the running."

Fool one.

Chieng, a comedian of Chinese descent raised in Malaysia, said he's especially angry that Watters relied on references to Pat Morita's "Miyagi" character from the original "Karate Kid" movie for laughs.

"That's like me making fun of America for "Saturday Night Fever and Mr. T.," Chieng said. "Real topical stuff, buddy."

Chieng isn't saying Asians can't be the targets of humor, but he wants to raise the bar.

"If you want to come at Chinese people, make fun of China's high pollution or the fact they censor most of the internet which, in this case, is a good thing, since no person in China will have to watch your garbage attempt at comedy."

Chieng also pointed out that karate isn't Chinese. Watters was doing a routine spar with a martial arts trainer.

Chieng actually went to New York's Chinatown to meet with the citizens. He shows the video and asked them questions about Watters and O'Reilly's attempt at interviewing.

It was brutal.

For his part, Watters was promoted to host his own show on the weekend.

Watters was involved in a spat with The Huffington Post this year. At the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, HuffPost chief Ryan Grim and reporter Amanda Terkel confronted Watters at a party. Watters ambushed Terkel on her vacation with her family and she wanted him to apologize for it. Grim records him on his iPhone and Watters got angry. Watters snatched his phone and then they get into a shoving matching. Grim's phone was damaged and Watters refused to apologize for the encounter.

Little Legend!

Proud first time parents. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen-Stephens welcome a daughter.

R&B superstar John Legend and his supermodel wife Chrissy Teigen welcome a baby girl.

Legend, a former native of Springfield, Ohio signed on as an establish act for Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music Entertainment. The singer has won numerous Grammy's and even an Oscar for best song for the movie Selma.

"She's here! Luna Simone Stephens, we are so in love with you! And sleepy. Very sleepy," Teigen captioned a photo of the baby’s weight on Sunday.

World News Today congratulate John and Chrissy on the birth of their daughter.

Tulsi Gabbard Got A Bern'n Sensation!

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) resigns from the DNC. She formally endorsed Bernie Sanders for president.

GOP Sundays are sure interesting. Donald Trump is the headliner of the day. On all the networks and CNN, Trump will get a lot of airtime given the GOP debate and Super Tuesday. If Trump sweeps the primary, he will become the presumptive nominee. 

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also got some fair time on the air. Of course, the agitators are asking about his failure to secure the Black vote after the South Carolina primary loss. The candidate is telling the junk food media that you shouldn't count him out. He's working to win states that Clinton is struggling in. 

Chuck Todd interviews Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI). The conservative leaning lawmaker announced today she's exiting the Democratic National Committee. She thrown her support to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for the Democratic nomination.

The lawmaker was born in American Samoa, the U.S. territory that has residents fighting for American citizenship. She is the first Hindu woman elected from the state. She is of Indian-American decent and is one of the few active military officers elected to Congress. She is one of the youngest members of the Congress.

Gabbard is feuding with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), the current chairwoman of the DNC. They are fighting over the debates and the lackluster excitement of the candidates. Gabbard accused Schultz of being in the tank for Hillary Clinton. She says that the debates were lowered and placed on nights that people aren't watching. 

I got an opportunity to hear the two struggling presidential candidates from the Republican side complain about how Trump and the junk food media are shutting them down. All on a network that's pretty damn friendly to them.

Chris Wallace interviews Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his struggling campaign. The two get really into it. Wallace ask the lawmaker about Trump's accusations of him being a liar. Cruz was really pissed when the interview ended. Wallace and Cruz usually had a friendly encounter. But when it came down to hard questions, Cruz will say that it's liberal tactics. Cruz did manage to bring up the White extremists who refuse to support him. The White extremists are throwing their support behind Trump which is showing that the party is inviting dangerous elements into its fold. Not like it hasn't.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) also addressing Trump's attacks on his personality. The Florida lawmaker is now wasting his time going after Trump's personal appearance. He came out with the #NeverTrump hashtag. That hashtag was being swamped by #AlwaysTrump. Rubio went after Trump's horrible tan and his failed business dealings. Rubio even cracked a couple of jokes. It's not working. Trump hit back with splashing water and his makeup to hide the sweat. Also the tag of being a "choke artist" is sticking.

American Samoa Demands Citizenship Or Else Independence!

American Samoa is an unincorporated U.S. territory in the South Pacific Ocean. The territory is a chain of eight islands/atolls with the neighboring independent nation of Samoa to the northwest.

The capital of the territory is the town of Pago Pago.

The U.S. territory's governor is Lolo Matalasi Moliga who is an independent but aligns himself with the Democratic Party.

The U.S. territory is demanding American citizenship, voting rights and recognition. There are residents taking the matter into the Supreme Court.

Pago Pago is the capital of the United States territory of American Samoa.

Tuaua v. United States is being heard in the Court. What is being argued among the justices is the granted legal status of people born on U.S. soil. Those who are born in American Samoa are U.S. nationals, not citizens. They are denied voting rights, opportunities to apply for state and federal jobs if they choose to move to the mainland.

The Citizenship Clause of the U.S. Constitution provides that “All persons born . . . in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”  Federal laws and policies that deny citizenship to people born in American Samoa violate this Clause and are unconstitutional.

I was interested in the matter when comedian/satirist John Oliver of HBO's Last Week Tonight brought attention to voting rights not being established in the U.S. territories.

Lene Tuaua is fighting for the right to be recognized as an American citizen. 

We The People's Project has invested heavily in this matter. Lene Tuaua was born in American Samoa. He served in the military and gave his life to the country.

Tuaua v. United States is a court case that originated when a group of American Samoans sued the State Department and the Obama administration. They sued to force the government to award American Samoans birthright citizenship, arguing that the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees that anyone born in the United States is automatically granted citizenship.

The case originated as a complaint filed in 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and the case was docketed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 2013. Briefs were filed in 2014, and an oral argument was made last year.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 3-0 to deny birthright citizenship to American Samoans, ruling that the guarantee of such citizenship to citizens in the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to U.S. island territories.

Republican congresswoman Amata Coleman Radewagen is the non-voting delegate from the U.S. territory of American Samoa. She became the first woman and Republican to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Attorneys filed a petition requesting that the Supreme Court of the United States review the Appeals Court's decision.

They are pressuring lawmakers in Washington to full grant citizenship to those living in American Samoa. They are pressuring Congress to grant full voting rights to all residents of the U.S. territories.

The residents on these territories aren't allow to vote for the President of the United States.

Did you know that 4.7 Americans live in the occupied territories administrated by the United States?

The District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands have U.S. Representatives who are non-voting delegates to Congress.

Steve Harvey Flubs Miss Universe Winner!

Think like a man....

Well I am assuring Steve Harvey got some flack for the flub. The AP reports that the entertainer messed up in announcing the winner of Miss Universe Pageant.

The Colombian contestant was already wearing this year's Miss Universe crown when host Steve Harvey returned to announce on live television that he had mistakenly read from a cue card, and that the contestant from the Philippines was actually this year's winner.

In the following moments, the crown was removed and placed on the head of a mystified Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines, other contestants rushed to console Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo of Colombia and a sheepish Harvey felt compelled to apologize on Twitter and to reporters assembled backstage.

"I feel horrible for this young woman," he said.

Harvey said it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not correctly reading the card, which said that Wurtzbach was this year's winner and Colombia was actually the first runner-up.

He held up the card for Fox network cameras to see up close. Talking with reporters afterward, Harvey and an executive for pageant owner WME-IMG called it human error.

"Nobody feels worse about this than me," he said.

Wurtzbach appeared stunned as she walked to the front of the stage alongside the crown-wearing Gutierrez before last year's Miss Universe from Colombia removed the crown and placed it on Wurtzbach's head.

Wurtzbach later said she felt conflicting emotions as the mistake happened: joy when she was told she had indeed won, concern for Gutierrez and confusion at the whole situation.

Wurtzbach said she tried to approach Gutierrez onstage afterward, but the Colombian was crying and surrounded by a crowd of women. She said she realized it was "probably bad timing."

"I did not take the crown from her," Wurtzbach told reporters after the pageant concluded, saying she wished the contestant from Colombia well and hoped the Latin American community understands that "none of this was my fault."

"None of this was done on purpose. It was an honest mistake," she said, apologizing on behalf of the organization she now represents. She said Harvey told her afterward that she "should just enjoy the moment."

Crowning Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo was a mistake.

Harvey also apologized on Twitter, but at first misspelled the home countries of both contestants before also fixing that. "I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake," he wrote. "I feel terrible."

Within seconds of Gutierrez being crowned, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos took to Twitter to commemorate what appeared to be an unprecedented back-to-back Miss Universe win for the South American nation.

"Colombians! The most beautiful in the world," wrote Santos. "Miss Universe 2016!!!! What pride!"

But seconds later, Santos had to reverse himself.

"For us you'll always be our Miss Universe," he wrote in a message to Gutierrez. "We feel very proud."

Donald Trump, who used to own the rights to Miss Universe, tweeted on Monday that "this never would have happened" under his watch. He softened his tone later that morning in an interview on NBC's Today Show, calling Harvey a "great guy" who handled it well. Trump said if he were still in charge of the show, he would make the women share the title.

"I think I'd make them a co-winner. That'd be very cool," he said.

He added: "Things happen. It's live television," he said.

Harvey, who was hosting the contest for the first time, said he reread the card and noticed it said "first runner-up" next to the Colombia contestant's name before he asked producers if he had made a mistake.

An executive with pageant owner WME-IMG, Mark Shapiro, said Harvey caught the mistake and corrected it on his own, saying he wanted to make a wrong into a right.

"It was humiliating for the women. It was humiliating for him," he told reporters after the pageant.

As all this was unfolding, a car drove up onto a sidewalk and struck dozens of people just outside the Planet Hollywood hotel-casino where the pageant was taking place. The Las Vegas Strip was soon jammed with ambulances and fire trucks, and authorities said at least 30 people were taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries and one person was killed.

Even before Sunday night's oops moment, the pageant was involved in another controversy when a backlash against Trump led Univision to pull out of the broadcast and the businessman to sell it in September.

Pia Wurtzbach crowned the winner of Miss Universe after a major flub by comedian Steve Harvey.

NBCUniversal and Trump co-owned the Miss Universe Organization until earlier this year. The real-estate developer offended Hispanics in June when he made anti-immigrant remarks in announcing his Republican presidential run.

That led Spanish-language network Univision to pull out of the broadcast for what would have been the first of five years airing the pageants, and NBC to cut business ties with Trump.

The former star of the "Celebrity Apprentice" reality show sued both companies, settling with NBC in September, which included buying the network's stake in the pageants.

That same month, Trump sold the organization that includes the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants to entertainment company WME-IMG.

Philippines presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda didn't address the debate over the win but said, "in bagging this victory, Ms. Wurtzbach not only serves as a tremendous source of pride for our people, but also holds up the banner of our women and of our country-as a true representative of what the Filipina can achieve."

Harvey  was so embarrassed over this. He went to social media to apologize to the runner-up and winner.

The competition started with women representing 80 countries between the ages of 19 and 27. For the first time, viewers at home weighed in, with their votes being tallied in addition to four in-person celebrity judges.

It's the third time a contestant from the Philippines has won the title.

The pageant's contestant from the United States, Olivia Jordan, was named second runner-up.

The entertainer hosted the Miss Universe Pageant on Fox last night.

He incorrectly announced the winner of Miss Universe. Harvey erroneously announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez as the winner. However, after Gutiérrez crowning, Harvey stated that he read the results incorrectly and that Wurtzbach was the actual Miss Universe 2015.

Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega then handed Gutiérrez's crown over to Wurtzbach.

Pia Wurtzbach represented the Philippines in the Miss Universe 2015 held on December 20, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

Broderick Stephen "Steve" Harvey is an American comedian, television host, radio personality, actor, and author. He hosts The Steve Harvey Morning Show, Steve Harvey (the talk show), and Family Feud. He is the author of Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, which was published in March 2009, and the book Straight Talk, No Chaser: How to Find and Keep a Man.

Fox Cancels The Mindy Project!

My Tuesday nights are going to be quite different knowing that one of the programs I've watched for three seasons is being axed.

It was critically acclaimed. It was a cult favorite and yet it was low rated.

Fox decides to put an end The Mindy Project.


Mindy Kaling's comedy was put on the watch for years. Fox's cancellation of the show puts the usual void that fans have to paint in their heads.

What will happen now that.....you know!

It left fans wondering what's going to happen now that Mindy and Danny are expecting to be parents. The cliffhanger was Danny introducing himself to Mindy's parents after he failed to see them off.

It managed to pull into syndication so it fulfilled its requirements.

With that being said the many cameos appearances.

Comedy starring Mindy Kaling was cancelled. 

Stephen Colbert, Leverne Cox, Niecey Nash, Rhea Perlman, Shonda Rhimes, Vanessa Williams, and Tim Daly were the guests who appeared on the sitcom.

While it's sad that a critically acclaimed program is put on ice, the fact that makes it so great was the fact that an Indian-American writer, producer, comedian had the opportunity to create it.

Maybe there's a possibility that Fox may sell off the show to Hulu. It's up in the air......!

It's also reported that Cristela is out. ABC canceled the freshman sitcom. Cristela Alanzo created, wrote and directed the sitcom. They folks over at ABC put her sitcom on the dead spot (Friday).

Cristela is the first Latina to create a sitcom for a major American network.

Before Richard Cohen, Bob Dumas had a Problem with Interracial, Intercultural, and Interethnic Relationships

Before Richard Cohen, there's another despicable guy had a problem with interracial/inter ethnic relationships.


This is the hateful and racist commentary from Raleigh's G105 DJ Bob Dumas commentary about a then-upcoming wedding of one of their interns who is married to a Lumbee Indian  back in 2008:

Rush Limbaugh Clone Bob Dumas

Bob Dumas April 2008:

"Did you tell your parents, 'hey, at least he's not black?'" Dumas asked during the broadcast. "After you guys get married are you going to have a tee-pee warming party? A tee-pee warming party? I hear Pottery Barn is making great stuff for tee-pees."-

Here's more despicable racism of Bob Dumas:

By Lorraine Ahearn
Staff Columnist 
Friday, Apr. 11, 2008 3:00 am 


How could this be OK?

That was the fundamental question when a Lumbee friend called last week, outraged, after her high school-age daughter heard a trio of shock jocks trashing the tribe on Raleigh’s WDCG (105 FM).

Now, the first thing that might come to mind is last year’s April fool, Don Imus, and the "nappy-headed hos" remark that earned him a you-know-what-storm and cost him his CBS Radio show.

But if you listened to last week’s "Bob & the Showgram" segment — which remained up on the G-105 Web site for several days until cooler heads prevailed — some differences became apparent.

First, Imus’ callous comments:

a) Were in passing, off the cuff.

b) Lasted less than a minute.

c) Forced Imus off the air despite several profuse apologies from Imus (who admitted his words were "racist and abhorrent"), a meeting with the Rutgers women and an appearance on the Rev. Al Sharpton’s show.

In contrast, the G-105 comments:

a) Were a clearly planned segment, with prepared background sound effects and traditional Native American music, in which the three white morning hosts derided an intern they called "White Girl" about her upcoming wedding to her Lumbee fiance.

b) Lasted 14 minutes, 33 seconds.

c) Brought a vague apology from the station manager "to any listener that may have found remarks or recordings played Tuesday, April 1st, 2008, during Bob and the Showgram to be offensive, derogatory or insensitive," and, a week later, resulted in a three-day suspension for the hosts.

So what, exactly, did they say, in remarks that Ruth Revels, founder of the Guilford Native American Association, called "the worst I’ve heard in all my years" of involvement?

The segment, led by DJ Bob Dumas, began as banter with a departing station intern who said she was leaving to get married. After the unnamed intern mentioned that she was marrying a Lumbee, stock sound effects such as fake "woo-woo-woo" Indian chants played in the background.

Dumas and his co-hosts quizzed the intern at length about her fiance, asking whether he was "full-blooded" and whether the couple planned to have a "teepee warming" after the wedding and suggesting she tell her parents, "At least he’s not black."

After making fun of the intern, who laughed along, Dumas and his co-hosts ridiculed Indians in general as "lazy" and Lumbees specifically as "inbred."

It was only after Greg Richardson, executive director of the N.C. Commission of Indian Affairs, on Wednesday demanded the hosts be fired that the station announced the suspension — eight days after the show aired.

But back to the original question from my friend, who was so angry at what her daughter heard that she was practically in tears: How could this be OK? And why was the reaction so lukewarm compared to Imus?

One reason, of course, is that Imus is national. Even though the Rutgers players don’t listen to his show, they soon got wind of it. But there’s a more fundamental difference: Lumbees are a minority’s minority.

True, they are the largest tribe east of the Mississippi, but there are only 50,000 of them in the state and only about 5,000 here in Guilford County. They have been invisible, easy to ignore. Which, incidentally, explains why they are still waiting for federal recognition after 120 years.

It also explains why someone such as Bob Dumas felt safe saying the things he said — statements he would never dare insert the word "black" into, at least not on the air.

Then again, cowards never pick on anyone their own size.

More of his racist misogyny against American Indians and White women who date/marry outside of their race:

Shock jock comments about Lumbees labeled racist

By Michael Futch
Staff writer

The N.C. Commission of Indian Affairs has demanded that a Raleigh radio
station fire the hosts and producer of a morning show over “racially
charged comments” made on the air.

The station — WDCG, “G105” — posted an online apology Friday for anyone
who was offended by the remarks, which singled out Lumbees and called
American Indians “lazy” and “in-bred.”

Members of the Lumbee and other tribes in the state have expressed outrage over the comments made Tuesday during “Bob and the Showgram.” The popular morning program is hosted by longtime Triangle radio air personality Bob Dumas.

Derogatory references were made on the air about the names of Pocahontas and Sacajawea. Traditional American Indian music played in the background as the “Showgram” team laughed at their own jokes.

“I think simply, it’s very sad that you would have a radio (station) like
that putting that kind of information out on the air,” said Greg
Richardson, executive director of the N.C. Commission of Indian Affairs.
“It’s inflammatory. I wonder if they understand how inflammatory those
remarks can be.”

Richardson, who belongs to the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, said Friday that his
office had been “absolutely bombarded” by e-mails and calls complaining
about the comments. Recordings of the show have circulated this week by
e-mail.

“I’ve never encountered anything like that before,” he said. “I thought we
were beyond that. This is 2008. I think people should have more respect
than to get involved in a discussion like that on the air.”

Dick Harlow, general manager of WDCG, said he would not comment Friday. He said Dumas would be unavailable for interviews, too.

On Friday afternoon, a statement was posted on the Web site for the radio
program, bobandtheshowgram.com.

“WDCG apologizes to any listener that may have found remarks or recordings played Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 during Bob and the Showgram to be offensive, derogatory or insensitive. WDCG does not condone inappropriate behavior, language or insensitive remarks.”

The N.C. Commission on Indian Affairs — established by the General
Assembly as an advocacy agency for the state’s Indian population — also
called for the Federal Communications Commission to investigate station
owner Clear Channel Communications Corp.

The state commission also wants the FCC to examine the company’s “history, tolerance, and promotion of this type of inflammatory and reprehensible programming.”

In a statement, the Commission of Indian Affairs Chairman Paul Brooks
said, “Such statements are further indicative of these individuals’
insensitivity, gross ignorance, and blatant bigotry against American
Indians across this great nation,”

The Lumbee tribe, in particular, was singled out in the 15-minute segment
that opened Tuesday’s show.

“This is the God’s honest truth,” Dumas said on the air. “You can look at
the statistics — Indians are lazy.”

The on-air exchange began when a white intern at the station — Chelsea
Pryor, who has attended the University of North Carolina at Pembroke —
told Dumas and his co-hosts that she was marrying a Lumbee.

“Hey, white girl. After you get married, are you going to have a
teepee-warming party?” someone quipped. “I could give you a pelt or
something.”

Morgan Brittany Hunt, a Lumbee who works with the tribe by talking with
teens about the consequences of smoking, called the comments racist.

“We have doctors, we have lawyers, we have businessmen,” she said. “We may have people who don’t have their four-year degree, but who get up and work hard to provide for their family. I was really upset.”

Hunt said the show is a hot topic in Pembroke.

“Everybody’s in an uproar,” she said. “It’s slander and racism. (Don) Imus
was fired for a lot less than what aired” on G105.

Nearly a year ago, MSNBC and CBS Radio fired Imus, a talk show host, after he made a slur about the mostly black Rutgers women’s basketball team. The Rev. Al Sharpton became the leading voice in opposition to Imus, calling for his dismissal.

Rebekah Revels, the former Miss North Carolina from Robeson County, was referred to as “the naked girl” during the show. Revels won the pageant in 2002 but was forced to give up the crown after her ex-boyfriend threatened to publicize topless photos of her.

“My situation was an ordeal I went through with my family that was
painful,” Revels said Friday. “I have learned to cope and deal with those
emotions. I was attacked publicly. Now they’re attacking my tribe. It’s
not about me. It’s about an ethnic culture that I love. Now it’s about
standing up for my people.”

Revels said the cast and crew of the “Showgram” and station owner Clear
Channel should be held accountable. “It’s unnecessary, uncalled for and
hurtful,” she said.

Earlier remarks

Dumas, who has been with WDCG for nearly 16 years, is not a newcomer to controversy.

In 2004, a Durham minister started an online petition to oust Dumas for
what the minister called “racially incendiary” comments about “American
Idol” winner Fantasia Barrino, who is black. Dumas used the terms “ghetto” and “low class” during the show to describe Barrino.

Five years ago, he drew the wrath of bicycling enthusiasts in the Triangle
for finding humor in motorists who assault cyclists or run them down with
their vehicles.

Dumas' bigoted view of Asian women:

"Popular morning radio host Bob Dumas angered another constituency this month when he declared Asian-American women unattractive.

Dumas, who infuriated bicyclists last year with a broadcast that included jokes about running cyclists off the road, has sparked another crusade, this time by local Asian-Americans, to persuade advertisers to drop WDCG's "The Bob & Madison Showgram." The local UPN affiliate has pulled its sponsorship of the show.

A number of Asian-Americans in the Triangle heard about the Feb. 10 broadcast through a widely circulated e-mail calling Dumas' comments racist and asking advertisers to stop supporting the show.

Dumas encouraged listeners to send in pictures of Asian women, and predicted that none of them would be attractive.

"If he just wanted to get attention from the listeners, he succeeded, but unfortunately, it's in a negative way," said Rachel Chao, who lives in Cary and works in contract financing. "If he really thinks Asian-Americans are not attractive, then he has not seen enough or he has vision problems."

Raising hackles appears to be in Dumas' job description. In September, local bicyclists accused WDCG (better known as G105) and its owner, Clear Channel Communications, of encouraging violence against bicyclists. Two sponsors canceled their advertising on the show in protest, and station officials apologized and agreed to broadcast announcements about bicycle safety.This time, G105 backed up Dumas."

Despicable "closet racist" Richard Cohen

Richard Cohen November 2012:

"Today’s GOP is not racist, as Harry Belafonte alleged about the tea party, but it is deeply troubled — about the expansion of government, about immigration, about secularism, about the mainstreaming of what used to be the avant-garde. People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children. (Should I mention that Bill De Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, used to be a lesbian?) This family represents the cultural changes that have enveloped parts — but not all — of America. To cultural conservatives, this doesn’t look like their country at all."-

Richard Cohen, Washington Post Columnist

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here's more about his abysmal record on race and gender from Think Progress:

Tuesday’s Richard Cohen column, where the long-time Washington Post writer asserts that “conventional” Americans “gag” at interracial couples, has managed to unite the entire political world against him.

But the offending bit shouldn’t have been much of a surprise. Cohen’s piece, which managed to take bizarre swipes at both African-Americans and lesbians, represents something of an apotheosis for Cohen’s career, the past few years has been spent in something of an arms race with itself, stockpiling an ever-increasing stack of offensive comments about blacks, women, and LGBT Americans.

Cohen’s race problem dates back to 1986, when he defended store owners banning black boys from their places of business. For fear of crime, you see. The black community launched a massive wave of protests, the Post’s executive editor apologized, and even Cohen later admitted his critics were “mostly right.”

Fast forward to 2013, when Cohen used the same argument to defend George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was “understandably” suspicious of Trayvon Martin, because he was black, young and “wearing a uniform we all recognize.” Cohen concluded these musings with an argument for racial profiling based on a laughably basic statistical fallacy.

But lest you think Richard Cohen is blind to racism, never fear. He’s all over racism against white people — or, as it’s more commonly known, affirmative action. Because “for most Americans, race has become supremely irrelevant” (tell that to defender of profiling Richard Cohen), “it was not racists who were punished [by affirmative action] but all whites.”

In Cohenland, it’s not only whites who are victims of political correctness run amok, but also accused rapists. In his column defending Roman Polanski, he refers the 13 year old girl who the filmmaker raped after deliberately getting drunk as a “victim” (his quotes). Cohen concluded that there was “something stale about the case” and that he “dearly wishes the whole thing would go away.”

The Steubenville rape case was a “so-called” rape and more a matter of “decency” than criminality. It was also Miley Cyrus’ fault.

Cohen’s writing on gender in general is similarly horrifying. He bemoaned the rise of the use of smart phones for news consumption because print newspapers allowed “the first lady [to] adhere to gender orthodoxy and read the softer sections” while “just as in the old movies, papa could explain things, like what’s the purpose of NATO anymore.” He squealed over Daniel Craig’s “rippling muscle,” complaining that the expectation that the modern male beauty ideal exemplified by Our Bond made experience unsexy, especially to 23 year old girls. Totally coincidentally, Cohen had been accused of telling a 23 year old Post staffer to “stand up and turn around.”

Cohen grumbled that “every 20 years or so, some woman surfaces to accuse [Clarence Thomas] of being a male chauvinist pig — to resurrect an old term from the tie-dyed era — but falls frustratingly short of making a case for true sexual harassment.” Like, say, “stand up and turn around?” Cohen finds “the level of sexism applied” to Monica Lewinsky appalling, but wonders “where is the man for her?” He has worried about too many female acquaintances trying to kiss him. Richard Cohen does not like that.

Sexual orientation is a less-common subject of Cohen’s, but his writing on it isn’t much better. In 2005, his column blamed the spread of AIDS on “not only reckless but just plain disgusting” behavior by gay men. “It is the determination of some gays,” Richard Cohen determined, “to disregard all the rules for safe sex because being gay, they think, means you don’t have to follow any rules at all.”

Anticipating the charge of victim-blaming, Cohen wrote that “sometimes the victim needed to be blamed. This is the case now with gays when their behavior is both stupid and reckless.” No other causes of the spread of the plague beyond the perfidy of gays go mentioned in the piece.

It’s that deep simple-mindedness, that total incuriosity about a changing world that makes Cohen uniquely odious. There are talented, insightful critics of left-liberal positions on gender and race — Ross Douthat and John McWhorter immediately come to mind. But Cohen isn’t a culturally conservative intellectual; he’s just someone who passes off lazy stereotypes as profound insights.

There’s no better example of this than his 2009 column on Obamacare, which isn’t about health care reform so much as how much health care reform bores Richard Cohen. “For me, health-care reform is Missiles Redux — specifically the Reagan-era disputes over SS-20s and such.” Cohen complains about being “expected to know something about such matters, being a Washington columnist and all, but I could never keep the damn terms and numbers straight.” So he just throws up his hands: “The Soviet Union collapsed anyway.”

Richard Cohen doesn’t care to learn any more about missiles or health care than he knows about race, gender, or sexual orientation. But while he chooses not to write about the former, the latter appear to fascinate him. So his column becomes an evidence-free font of prejudice, the Platonic ideal of a useless old media dinosaur.

Another racist post from R. Cohen:

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen is getting, and this is not racist, horse-whipped over a new column in which he seems to suggest that gagging at the thought of interracial marriage is not racist, but merely “conventional.”

But all the haters really ought to ease up on Cohen, who, as of last week, realized that American slavery wasn’t “a benign institution in which mostly benevolent whites owned innocent and grateful blacks.”

That’s gotta count for something, right?

This epiphany came to Cohen as he watched the new film 12 Years a Slave, which forced Cohen to “unlearn” the following:

• slavery was not a benign institution in which mostly benevolent whites owned innocent and grateful blacks.
• slavery was wrong, yes, that it was evil, no doubt, but really, that many blacks were sort of content.
• Slave owners were mostly nice people — fellow Americans, after all

Cohen says he learned all of this in school, but you’d be hard-pressed to produce a list like that from someone who was home-schooled by the banjo kid from Deliverance. If it’s even possible, the lessons he took from 12 Years a Slave are even weirder:

• “slavery was not only incomprehensibly cruel — it had to have had consequences.” – Sure, but like a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon, who could ever begin to guess at what those consequences could be without a movie to untangle them?
• “Families are broken up — not just like that, with a casual statement of fact, but with a rending of garments and an awful pain and a tearing of the soul.” – So it wasn’t all like “Hey, I’ll never see my kids again. BT dubs, I think they’re putting sage in this gruel, are you going to finish that?”
• “12 Years a Slave has finally rendered Gone with the Wind irrevocably silly and utterly tasteless, a cinematic bodice-ripper.” – Yes, who could have known the realities of slavery before last week, let alone in 1939?
• “(Solomon Northrup) goes from being a human being to a blotted entry on a ledger. We can all connect to that. At the same time, we connect less with the slaves he left behind when he was freed. He is restored to the life he once had. They remain with the life they have always had.” – Even with a really great movie as your guide, empathy has its limits.

Stay tuned for Richard Cohen’s next column, about how Birth of a Nation went kinda easy on the Ku Klux Klan.

For all of his racial insularity, though (and it is considerable), at least Cohen is a few steps ahead of Sarah Palin.

The Washington Post’s Richard Cohen Isn’t The Only Columnist Confused By The De Blasio-McCray Marriage

The Washington Post’s Richard Cohen made headlines this morning in a column, ostensibly about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s presidential chances, that took a strange turn when he began to discuss the racial attitudes of the kinds of voters Christie and Sen. Ted Cruz will have to win over. “People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children. (Should I mention that Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, used to be a lesbian?),” Cohen wrote. “This family represents the cultural changes that have enveloped parts — but not all — of America. To cultural conservatives, this doesn’t look like their country at all.”

Cohen’s phrasing here makes it somewhat difficult to figure out which disagreeable sentiment he’s expressing. Does he mean to say that De Blasio and McCray’s marriage is confusing to Americans on the grounds that he is white and she is black? In Gallup’s Minority Rights and Relations poll conducted earlier this year, 87 percent of respondents said they approved of marriages between African-Americans and Caucasians, a figure that would suggest that it’s not even close to conventional to have a gag reflex triggered by the sight of an interracial couple like the one that will be inaugurated as New York City’s First Family. Did Cohen mean to say that the conventional thing to do these days, the polite thing, is to suppress any lingering concerns or uncomfortable reactions one might have about couples who don’t resemble one’s own family? That’s a more charitable reading of Cohen, and one that would serve to marginalize the remaining Americans who both are repulsed by interracial couples and more than willing to express those sentiments publicly.

But the fact remains that Cohen seems to have seized on De Blasio and McCray as a locus of anxiety about cultural change, rather than treating them as a positive symbol of a new New York. And while a Change.org petition has, predictably, already sprung up demanding Cohen’s firing, he isn’t alone in treating De Blasio and McCray as exotic not just for reasons of race but of sexuality. The couple, it seems, has become a useful litmus test less for imaginary conservative voters in the forthcoming Republican primaries, than for prominent columnists at significant American publicans.

In an August column on De Blasio and McCray, Maureen Dowd lingered at even greater length on the fact that McCray used to identify as a lesbian, and that she’d treated questions about her sexual orientation from Essence as if they were fussy and old-fashioned. Then, Dowd went on to compare McCray and Christine Quinn’s wife to Anthony Weiner’s sexual escapades, suggesting that they were all part of an atmosphere of sexual strangeness that had engulfed the race.

“Besides the woman who wants to be the first first lady who used to be a lesbian, there is also Kim Catullo, the wife of Quinn, who would be the first first lady who is a married lesbian,” Dowd wrote. “Then there is the perverse Carlos Danger who wants to be the first mayor who plastered pictures of his privates online. The summer has been so drenched with the unthinkable and the unorthodox that the de Blasios, married for 19 years, seem quite conventional by comparison.”

The idea that sexual orientation is fluid, that a woman who believed herself to be exclusively attracted to women might fall in love with, marry, and have children with a man, does seem to be genuinely confusing to Dowd and to Cohen. To a certain extent, that might be the result of one of the great successes of the LGBT rights movement, making the argument that sexual orientation is innate and immutable. That idea is critical to everything from the push for legal protections for LGBT people, to pushback against so-called conversion therapy that claims to be able to change people’s sexual orientations and gender identities. But it’s not necessarily an idea that encompasses the entirety of every person’s lived experiences, whether they’ve lived a heterosexual life before falling in love with someone of the same gender, or they’re a self-identified lesbian who decides she wants to be with the man who would become Mayor of New York. The Kinsey Scale, which expresses sexual orientation as a continuum, does a better job of capturing that range of relationships and identities, but it’s a more sophisticated–and as a result, difficult–foundation on which to build legal and social change.

It doesn’t help that there’s lingering confusion about bisexuality, the possibility that a person might be attracted to people of more than one gender. The idea that bisexuality is non-existent or a transitional phase on the way to a more stable identity as a gay or straight person, is still deeply embedded in American culture. Glee, to name just one example, a show that’s been much more broadly inclusive of gay couples and transgender characters, has treated bisexuality with considerable skepticism.

It’s disappointing to see publications like the Washington Post and New York Times give column space to the idea that De Blasio and McCray’s marriage is some sort of revealing abnormality, even if they’re doing it in a rather back-door way by treating New York’s embrace of the couple of evidence of changing attitudes, or suggesting that it would be rude to treat them poorly. Bill De Blasio and Chirlane McCray, and the two children they’ve raised together, may not be a familiar sight for all Americans. Not even, as it turns out, people who are card-carrying members of the theoretically sophisticated coastal elite. But that doesn’t make their marriage and family unconventional. Instead, the reactions to them in some of the most rarified perches of the commentariat are a reminder of the unfortunate power of outdated ideas, and how little value we ought to place on certain so-called conventions.

Bob and Richard had made racist, sexist comments during the past 10-30 years in the media. They've been given a pass from the mainstream media during the same amount of time.  All they did were apologize, pay a fine, then repeat.  That's the beauty of white privilege. They're currently on the payrolls of both WaPo and Clear Channel and are staying put.  The same could be applied Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Maher, Don Imus, Matthew Drudge, Ann Coulter, etc.  They continue to spew hateful views concerning people of Color, working class/poor people, immigrants/foreigners, women in general, feminists in particular, interracial/inter ethnic relationships, etc.
