"Dear White People" Will Outrage Conservatives!

A movie that will certainly touch nerves and provoke a conversation about race.

There's a sleeper comedy coming this Fall. This movie is certainly going to piss off the racist right.

Dear White People is an upcoming 2014 American satire drama film written and directed by Justin Simien. The film focuses on black students attending Ivy League college in America and stars Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Teyonah Parris, Brandon P Bell, Kyle Gallner, Brittany Curran and Dennis Haysbert.

The film premiered in-competition in the US Dramatic Category at 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2014.

It's a play on the stereotypes of Black America and how White people look upon it. At a fictional university, a riot is provoked by a White fraternity who throws a Black themed party.

Mediaite reports that the protagonist, a biracial student named Samantha White (played by Tessa Thompson), uses her college radio platform to lecture the white students at the fictional Ivy League school about how to interact with black people.

The cast of Dear White People.

“Dear white people,” Sam says into the microphone in the trailer, “the minimum requirement of black friends needed to not seem racist has just been raised to two. Sorry, but you’re weed man, Tyrone, does not count.”

“Dear white people, please stop touching my hair.” she says. “Does this look like a petting zoo to you?”

And, “This just in: Dating a black person to piss off your parents is a form of racism.”

Later, when a white student asks her how she would feel if someone started a “Dear Black People” radio show, she replies, “No need. Mass media from Fox News makes it clear what white people think of us.”

GOP Picks The Event By The Lake!

Cleveland, Ohio will be hosting the Republican National Convention.

Ohio Republican governor John Kasich and the Ohio Republican Party lobbied for this event. This will be a pick of choice. The state went to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 in his bid for the presidency. They don't want to lose a "very important" state.

The Republican National Committee picked Cleveland over Dallas, Texas in their choice for hosting the 2016 Republican National Convention.

For the next two years, Cleveland will get their act together. They will make so many changes to the area and try to appeal to those wealthy Republicans who will flock to the city. They will sweep the memories of blight, Ariel Castro and the protesters under a rug.

The city will find ways to keep the protesters away from the Quicken Loan Arena.

The pimps and prostitutes will be $$$ in their eyes. The female and male prostitutes will make Republicans feel so good when they arrive. Those so called family values types will leave their wedding rings in their luxury hotel rooms and grab a quickie!

The Official logo of the Republican Party.

Pizza places and bars will see a rise in revenue. After all the pizza places and nightclubs will be hoping that $$$ will travel. The country, rock and hip-hop music establishments are favorites among young Republicans.

Young Republicans will be in the city with cameras in tow to find that one Black or Hispanic Democratic voter who will say they gotten their "Obama Phone".

The Horseshoe Casino will have a influx of Republicans willing to put on sunglasses and brown trench coats to hide when they come into the establishment for a night of gambling.

Cleveland area will see a boost in revenue. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Indians, Cedar Point, the Greater Cleveland RTA, the NASA facility, The Cleveland Browns, the Metroparks Zoo, the Steelyard, the Waterfront, and Ohio City will see an jump in revenue.

Democratic mayor Frank Jackson will be welcoming the Republican establishment, the Tea Party insurgency and the religious right into the city. He will love the millions to build in his city.

The junk food media, celebrities, and state politicos will be heading to the city.

The Plain-Dealer got a hold of the Republican chairman, Captain Jackass Reince Priebus and wanted to get his feedback on their decision to make Ohio a choice for Republicans.

"We're excited about bringing the convention to Cleveland in Ohio, and we're excited about the decision. We think it's a smart decision," Priebus said.

Cleveland edged out Dallas, the other finalist, as the recommended location for the convention, giving the city an opportunity to strut its stuff to a national crowd while placing Ohio even more firmly in the political spotlight for the upcoming presidential election.

"I think it's great," Rob Frost, the Cuyahoga County Republican Party Chairman, said in an interview late Tuesday morning. "I'm really excited to welcome our Republican colleagues from around the nation to Cleveland in 2016. I think this convention will really elevate Cleveland in the eyes of the nation, and elevate Republicans in the eyes of Cleveland."

Frost credited the unified effort of local business, civic and political leaders for helping to bring the convention in. He particularly singled out Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, a Democrat.

"Those are efforts other cities didn't have behind them, and it all started with Mayor Jackson," Frost said.

The chief is hoping to find that rainbow coalition.

Enid Mickelsen, the chairwoman of the RNC's site selection committee, said in a written statement:

"Cleveland is a phenomenal city, and I can't think of a better place to showcase our party and our nominee in 2016. This committee was tasked with difficult decisions and was presented with several strong options to host our convention. I'm confident Cleveland is the right pick for our next national convention. Cleveland has demonstrated they have the commitment, energy, and terrific facilities to help us deliver a history-making Republican convention."

"I extend my deepest gratitude to Dallas," she added. "Dallas is a world-class city with wonderful venues and fantastic people and I'm certain they'll make a great host for our party in the future. The Dallas team were excellent ambassadors for their city and showed both the committee and the RNC all the wonderful things the city has to offer."

"This is great news for Northeast Ohio," Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, the 2014 Democratic nominee for governor, said in a written statement. "There's no question Cleveland is now in the middle of a historic renaissance."

Now that the recommendation from the Republican National Committee's site selection committee is in, negotiations with Cleveland officials are expected to begin shortly. A press conference, featuring Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, County Executive Ed FitzGerald, Cleveland 2016 RNC Host Committee Executive Chair, Terrance "Terry" Egger and others is scheduled for 3 p.m. at the Global Center for Health Innovation in downtown Cleveland.

Interstate 71 in Cleveland. In less than 100 feet is the suburb of Brooklyn, Ohio.

The courtship with the national GOP dates back to at least February, when the city submitted its bid. Cleveland was selected a week later as one of eight contenders.

The RNC narrowed the list to four in late May, and on June 25 picked Cleveland and Dallas as the two finalists to host the event.

And last week, RNC officials visited Cleveland to assess "creative ways" to make the city's bid work.

Conventions can be significant economic generators for a city. One study showed that the 2012 GOP convention pumped more than $200 million into the Tampa and Florida economies. That convention drew roughly 50,000 visitors.

Cleveland's convention pitch was rooted in political geography and in a downtown renaissance that leaders said occurred after the city lost its bid for the GOP's 2008 convention. Since that audition, Cleveland has added more hotel rooms and a new convention center.

Dallas has a population of 1.43 million residents. Cleveland has a population of 397,000 residents.

Texas is a Republican friendly state. Ohio is a major swing state. If a nominee wins the state in the presidential election, its likely they'll be the President of The United States.

Last event for the Republicans was the Tampa Bay Times Forum arena in Tampa.

Florida went to Barack Obama twice.

Democrats had Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte.

North Carolina went to perennial loser Mitt Romney.

Republicans hope that picking Ohio will boost the nominee's chances of winning.

Black Republican: They Whiteface Me!

This is not what Gloreatha Scurry-Smith said, but I am guessing this is how the Republican Party thinks and believes of her. One could wonder if this was a deliberate stunt to gin up support for her against her opponent in the Republican primary next month.

Will she denounce the Republican Party for it ongoing racism towards Blacks and Hispanics?

Will she denounce the ignorance that gins up from their fears of Muslims, those in LGBT community or the independent woman?

It's never gonna happen! She'll just blame the other party or Black people for this.

I wouldn't be surprised she'll blame the Democrats for this one. After all she's a Black Republican and I guess she believes that the "Democrat Party" enslaves Blacks to the gubmint.

The Huffington Post reports that Gloreatha "Glo" Scurry-Smith, who is running in the Florida GOP primary to take on Rep. Corrine Brown (D) in November, recently experienced a very disturbing case of racial discrimination.

On Sunday, Smith tweeted a picture of a vandalized campaign sign, in which her face was covered in white spray paint.

Smith, who says her husband found the sign in Jacksonville, Florida, told National Review that she "expect[ed] signs to be tampered with or stolen, but not to this extent.”

The Black Republican with That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and Suga Cain.

“Throughout this entire incident, I go back to Martin Luther King’s comment that we look forward to a time when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” Smith added. “I’ve got too much work to focus on to be bothering with things like this.”

Brown said regarding the incident that "to be talking about signs is ludicrous to me -- and you know, and whatever happened was unfortunate but I personally do not get involved in campaigning months in advance."

Smith has spoken to numerous local media outlets and posted the following messages on her Facebook page after an initial post about the photo:

Post by Glo Smith for U.S. Congress.

Her primary opponent, Thuy Lowe, condemned the vandalism.

"I was shocked by this," Lowe told National Review. "There have been some comments out there that this may have been caused by bigotry. This is a message that she is an African American woman who is a Republican and therefore has a white point of view."

The GOP primary will be held on August 26.

I believe this is a political stunt created by her campaign to make it seems like she's a "victim" of hate.

No one with the right mind would spray a campaign sign. Scratch that. Only those who want to agitate the junk food media. I can only hope that Americans would denounce this crap.

But we'll see if this is real or a political stunt.

SCOTUS Rules Big!

Cameras aren't allowed in the Supreme Court. Recording devices are limited to audio. A courtroom sketcher will display the reactions of those in the courtroom. 

Two major decision came from the U.S. Supreme Court. They managed to not only deal a blow to law enforcement agencies but also start up companies that advocate advancements in the digital age.

First things first, have you ever posted anything incriminating on your phone?

Have you ever posted something that you know will get you in trouble?

Think about that young woman who posted on the social networks and on her phone. She was the one who robbed a bank. Hannah Sabata got 20 years in the iron college for that incident. Before the Court decision, the boys in blue would have checked her phone for incriminating evidence. No more.

The law must now get a warrant to look into a person's phone. Today the landmark decision given by the Court unanimously held that search and seizure of digital contents of a cell phone during an arrest is unconstitutional.

The case arose from a split among state and federal courts over the cell phone search incident to arrest (SITA) doctrine. The Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Circuits have ruled that officers can search cell phones to arrest under various standards. That rule has been followed by the Supreme Courts of Georgia, Massachusetts, and California. Other courts in the First Circuit and the Supreme Courts of Florida and Ohio disagreed.

Now if you want to see your local news on the phone or through the computer. It may be even harder to stream the service if you're not licensed by the company. The Court ruled that online streaming service Aereo violated copyright when they were charging fees to stream local programs over their programming. This means that any start up business that wants to stream programming that comes off the free broadcast will be subject to infringement and shut down.

Broadcasters argued that Aereo was a threat both to their business model, by undermining the cable retransmission fees and the size of their audience.

Because the fees cable companies pay for broadcast content can comprise up to 10% of a broadcaster's revenue, broadcasters object to Aereo's re-distribution of this content without paying any fees. Broadcasters have also identified Aereo as part of the cord-cutting trend among television audiences that poses a threat to broadcasters' advertising revenue.

Aereo was sued for copyright infringement by a consortium of major broadcasters, including CBS Corporation's CBS, Comcast's NBC, Disney's ABC and 21st Century Fox's Fox.

The broadcasters argued that Aereo infringed their copyrighted material because Aereo's streams constituted public performances. They sought a preliminary injunction against the company. On July 11, Federal Judge Alison Nathan denied this injunction, citing as precedent the 2008 Cablevision case, which established the legality of cloud-based streaming and DVR services.

In response to the decision, Aereo Founder and CEO Chet Kanojia said “Today’s decision shows that when you are on the right side of the law, you can stand up, fight the Goliath and win.”

In a subsequent interview with CNET, Kanojia asserted, “With one step, we changed the entire TV industry. The television industry and its evolution are now starting towards the Internet and that was stopped until Aereo came along...And I think as consumers start migrating to the Internet, new programming and new content are going to come in.

The Court decided in favor of the broadcasters on June 25 in a 6-3 decision and remanded the case with Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito dissenting. The Court's decision describes Aereo as not being "simply an equipment provider," with an "overwhelming likeness to cable companies" that "performs petitioners' works 'publicly.'" Further, the Court adds that its decision should not discourage the emergence or use of different kinds of technologies, a conclusion that will remain to be seen.

Research was obtained through the SCOTUS Blog and Wikipedia to conclude the summary of this decision.

These decisions are monumental. The Court's rulings will affect the digital age. The Roberts Court is pretty damn conservative. The swing is Anthony Kennedy and he's tolled the line toward libertarian. These decisions are pretty much setbacks to law enforcement and digital technology.

Thad Cochran Beats Insurgent!

I'll have this order to go. Thad Cochran, U.S. Senator from Mississippi beats the insurgent in a Republican primary run-off election. This race was one of the most closely watched. It would have determined the mood of U.S. Midterm voters.

Could you imagine staunchly conservative Senator Mississippi Republican Thad Cochran beats insurgent candidate Chris McDaniel?

I'll tell you the truth, he won on the power of Democratic voters who happened to be a lot darker than he is.

In a highly contested Republican primary run off the long-term senator Ted Cochran pulled off a victory that was deemed inevitable for the insurgent. A Southern White politico from the most reddest state in the United States will now face another Southern White politico who is just like him only with a Democratic label.

The insurgent rose to fame on the power of the conservative agitators who deemed Cochran too liberal and part of the establishment of Republicans.

The results of the country's most watched Republican races. It was one of the most controversial as well.

Republican Party primary runoff for Mississippi United States Senate election, 2014
Party		Candidate	Votes	%	±%
	Republican	Thad Cochran	190,481	50.9	+1.9
	Republican	Chris McDaniel	183,601	49.1	-0.4
Total votes			374,082	100.00%

The Country Club, Blue Blooded Republicans according to the insurgency have been too willing to work with President Barack Obama and they wanted to stop it.

State Senator Chris McDaniel, a supporter of the insurgency was totally pissed. He thought that his bid for the Republican nomination was a wrap.

I thought it was a wrap after that old fool spoke about abusing animals. Cochran managed to pluck a few extra votes in an apparent open primary.

Under Mississippi rules, all voters, regardless of affiliation, are permitted to vote in the GOP primary, as long as they did not also cast a vote in the parallel Democratic primary. After the embarrassing defeat in the first round of voting, Cochran’s strategists calculated that their best option was to appeal to a broader base of voters, including those who do not usually support the party.

During the primary election, Senator Cochran and State Senator McDaniel received 49% and 49.5% of the vote respectively. Since no candidate received over 50%, there was be a runoff to determine the Republican nominee on June 24, 2014.

In the runoff campaign, Cochran tried to expand the electorate by encouraging independents and Democrats to vote in the runoff. After downplaying the various federal spending projects Mississippi received during his time in office, federal spending has become 40 percent of spending in the State of Mississippi

The Guardian reports that Cochran's influence may have sway Democratic-leaning black voters. Cochran could actually damage the prospects for Democrats in November. Travis Childers a former Democratic U.S. representative is a pro-life, pro-NRA, and anti-Obama candidate.

Say if McDaniel would have won, Childers has the profile that could conceivably win the conservative state in a race against McDaniel, whose extreme views could alienate the business community and more moderate voters.

The insurgent is pissed. He hasn't concede the race and vows to fight in court.

McDaniel has refused to concede to the race. He was very pissed at the outcome. He released a statement.

“We had a dream and the dream is still with us,” said McDaniel to an increasingly vocal crowd, telling them that the fight is not over. “Today the conservative movement took a backseat to liberal Democrats in Mississippi.”

The Politico reports that the crowd at the McDaniel event was equally fired up after the loss, capping off a bitter extended primary fight that pitted the insurgent against long-time establishment candidate Cochran.

Could you imagine, Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY, Minority Leader), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Representatives James Lankford (R-OK, Republican senate nominee), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader-elect) have survive an insurgency sweep?

Representative Eric Cantor (R-VA, Majority Leader) was the only high profile lawmaker defeated in a primary. The only high profile member who managed to be beaten by a weaker and probably more extremer candidate.

Hank Aaron: It Doesn't Surprise Me That [Republicans] Acting Like Those Bigots Who Threaten Me!

It ain't too hard to see, but I believe that the Republicans are acting just like those guys with the hoods on. - Hank Aaron.compares the Republicans and Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan.

Baseball legend compares the inept Republicans to the Klan.

I couldn't agree with him more. It's the antics by the likes of Mitch McConnell, Louie Gohmert, and those annoying ass agitators on Loserville and talk radio that gives Hank Aaron that reason to believe race contributes to the president's proposals being shut down.

Speaking to USA Today Tuesday on the 40th anniversary of his then record-breaking 715th home run, the 80-year-old Aaron said that Republicans are hindering Obama’s job performance.

“Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.

Aaron continued: “The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”

Aaron stated that there is still room for improvement for race relations in the U.S.

“We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.

Aaron goes on to describe the racist letters he has kept for decades as he was chasing Babe Ruth’s home run record.

“To remind myself that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record,” Aaron explained to USA Today Sports. “If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.”

Aaron was honored before the Braves game against the New York Mets on Tuesday night with a ceremony commemorating the 40th anniversary of his 715th home run, the one that pushed him past Babe Ruth and gave him the major league record.

Aaron finished with 755 home runs, but was eventually passed on the career list by Barry Bonds, whose career was tarnished by steroids allegations. Bonds has 762 homers, but many baseball fans don’t accept that number and stand by Aaron as the true record-holder.

Speaking with reporters after the ceremony, Selig was asked about Aaron being called the true home run king.

“I’m always in a sensitive spot there, but I’ve said that myself and I’ll just leave it at that,” Selig said.

During the ceremony Braves chairman Terry McGuirk said Aaron “set the home-run record the old-fashioned way” and added “You will always be the home run king of all time.”

Retired Braves broadcaster Pete Van Wieren earned a big ovation when he said Aaron is “still recognized as baseball’s true home run king.”

Mr. Aaron forgot that we Republicans freed them slaves - John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

Aaron, 80, was given a standing ovation in the ceremony before the game. Aaron broke Ruth’s record with his homer on April 8, 1974, off the Dodgers’ Al Downing.

Downing attended the ceremony and threw out the first pitch. Some of Aaron’s 1974 teammates returned, including Dusty Baker, who was on-deck when the record-breaking homer was hit, Ralph Garr, Phil Niekro, Ron Reed, Marty Perez and Tom House, who caught the homer in the bullpen.

Aaron thanked fans “for all your kindness all these many years.” Aaron, recovering from recent hip-replacement surgery, used a walker.

“The game of baseball was a way that I relaxed myself each year that I went on the field for 23 years,”
Aaron said. “I gave baseball everything that I had, everything, every ounce of my ability to play the game I tried to play to make you the fans appreciate me more. Thank you.”

Selig, Aaron’s longtime friend, established the Hank Aaron Award in 1999 to honor the top hitter in each league.

He called Aaron’s 715th homer “the most famous and treasured record in American sports.”

Selig said Aaron was a worthy successor to Ruth as home-run king “because he is the living embodiment of the American spirit. … Baseball is forever our national pastime because of people like Henry Aaron.”

The Braves wore their 1970s era white-and-blue uniforms, complete with small “a” caps, in tribute to Aaron.

The Braves are wearing an Aaron 40th anniversary patch on their uniform sleeves this season.

The numbers “715″ were painted on the outfield grass, stretching from left-center to right-center.

The Braves unveiled Aaron jerseys from other college and professional teams in the Atlanta area. Falcons owner Arthur Blank, former Georgia coach and athletic director Vince Dooley and former Georgia Tech coach Bill Curry were among those who stood with their teams’ jerseys adorned with Aaron’s name and No. 44.

The outfield was filled with fans, each wearing blue 44 Braves jerseys and each holding baseball-shaped signs bearing numbers from 1 to 715.

Loserville Sics "Uncle Juan" On Ebony!

The right hates Ebony magazine because one of their editors criticized Black conservatives.

I've said it too many times.

Why should I continue beating it into the heads of our critics here on Journal de la Reyna?

I've posted every article about an issue that involves the community, the government and junk food media.

I've criticized Republican, Democrat, progressive and conservative respectively.

Way too many times, I've talked about how reactionary conservatives are when it comes to race. Often conservatives look at race with dark sunglasses. They believe that "racism is over", "Trayvon Martin was a thug", "Barack Obama is a....." and "Republicans freed the slaves".

They believe "us Black folk" are stuck on the "Democrat plantation" because we love "brotha Barack".

Republicans can barely break the 10% on Black members.

In the 21st Century, the Democratic Party nominated twice the first Black president. The American people elected the first Black person to ever reach that highest office.

Today in America, here in 2014, there are some who refer to the first Black president as a dictator. There are some who believe that every racist email, photo about the president is actually a joke. There are some who think that America is on a downward spiral because of the first Black president. These individuals believe that minorities benefit from "da gubmint". There are some who question the first Black president's birthplace, religion and stances on social and economic issues.

That's perfectly fine. They can do so at their discretion. For you see for every time a conservative acts out like this, Blacks tend to look at them as racist.

Ebony editor gets into a spat with the communications director of the RNC. Her company apologized over the weekend for the misunderstanding. The damage is done though. Republicans are going to make a case against the magazine and their favorite target President Barack Obama.

In 2014, the Republican Party is mostly White. There's probably less than 25 Republican Congressional lawmakers who are minorities. One clearly visible figure is Tim Scott, the Black Republican senator from South Carolina. Then there's Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, two Hispanic Republican senators from Florida and Texas, respectively.  Then there's Susana Martinez, the Latina Republican governor of New Mexico. Yeah, Brian Sandoval, the Latino Republican governor of Nevada.

You have Florida representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Barlart. And of course Raúl Labrador, the representative from Idaho. Jaime Herrera Beutler, she is a Republican lawmaker from Washington. They are Hispanic lawmakers.

And who couldn't forget Native American representatives Tom Cole and Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma.

Okay there are minorities in the political party. However, the party is still struggling to win over minorities.

The Republican Party is mostly ideologically conservative. It's most WHITE, MALE and OLD.

Benjamin Carson is the right's newest toy.

The party elects people who come off as condescending bigots. They have put their political gambles on failures like perennial losers Mitt Romney.

The Republicans have failed the Black community so much it's nearly impossible to gain a strong turnout.

Ebony Magazine is part of the Johnson Publishing Company.

It was founded by John Johnson in Chicago, Ebony cover photography has since its inception focused on African-American celebrities and politicians, such as Dorothy Dandridge, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Carol Moseley Braun, Barack Obama, Zoe Saldana, Tyrese Gibson and Tyler Perry. The magazine has evolved over the years, in 2010 starting an obvious and persistent redesign with an end goal of updating and enlivening the age-old brand.

In the past, the magazine was persistently upbeat, much like its generic contemporary Life. Ebony, edited by John H. Johnson, has striven always to address African-American issues, personalities and interests in a positive and self-affirming manner. Advertisers have for decades created ads specifically for the pages of Ebony that featured black models using their products.

Ebony frequently makes headlines in the blogosphere and in the mainstream press.

Well the editor of  Jamilah Lemieux made some criticism of former neurosurgeon and Black conservative Dr. Benjamin Carson over his attempts to reach out to Blacks with his own magazine.

 “I have drinking games in mind already,” quipped Lemieux, regarding Carson’s tendency to communicate in outrageous talking points, like his comment that Obamacare is “worse than slavery” or when he said that women need to “re-educated” so they won’t “get all riled up” about abortion.

Okay, she has an opinion. She's not a fan of Carson.

"Uncle Juan" Williams' son Raffi worships Saint Ronald. He's gotten into a spat with the editor of Ebony over her criticisms of him and those so-called "freed" Negros.

But here comes the folks over at Loserville getting riled up over it. "Uncle Juan" Williams, a fixture on the network is none too happy about it. He's also steamed over the fact that Lemieux called his son Raffi a “white dude”.

Raffi Williams is the director of political outreach for young and minorities for the Republican National Committee. He was appointed to that position by Reince "Find The Rainbow" Priebus.

The Raw Story reports that Lemieux got onto Twitter to criticized Carson.

Someone asked Lemieux if she didn't want to know more about the publication, to which she replied, “I 100 percent do not want to know more, I wish I knew less!”

Then Raffi Williams — who wears his hair in loose waves and poses in front of a painting of Pres. Ronald Reagan in his Twitter profile photo — tweeted at Lemieux, “Wish you knew less? Hoped you would encourage diversity of thought.”

@JamilahLemieux wish you knew less? hoped you would encourage diversity of thought. @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson
— Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) March 27, 2014

@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson Oh great, here comes a White dude telling me how to do this Black thing. Pass.
— Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014

Merry Christmas... My dad & BO tried to convert me but that wasnt happening pic.twitter.com/u02QzcUfoH
— Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) December 20, 2013

“Oh great,” Lemieux replied, “here comes a White dude telling me how to do this Black thing. Pass.”

The faux pas set off an immediate firestorm among users of the conservative Twitter aggregator Twitchy.com and other conservative media outlets, who branded Lemieux a racist and proceeded to hurl insults and invective.

“I hear you like to judge people by the color of their skin,” wrote one.

Loserville sics their favorite son on Ebony.

“‘Go away?’” said another, “I think you’re confused about how this twitter thing works. Also, you’re a racist.”

RedState.com commentator Aaron Gardner wrote, “This morning a news editor from Ebony decided to show her ignorance and racism to the world.”

Lemieux apologized to Williams, but for Gardner that wasn't enough.

“Quite frankly, Lemieux can take her apology and cram it,” he wrote. “I find it hard to believe that Lemieux’s apology was from the heart considering she is the daughter of a former Black Panther.”

By Thursday morning, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus was joining the fanned-up outrage and demanded an apology on Williams’ behalf from Ebony. Williams appeared on Fox News, complaining about how he’d been treated by Lemieux.

Thursday afternoon, even as Lemieux supporters kicked off an #IStandWithJamilah hashtag on Twitter, Ebony complied, issuing a stiffly-worded apology for what the publication called Lemieux’s “lack of judgment.”

The right’s heated reaction to the Twitter spat strikes some as spectacularly overblown and more than a little bit hypocritical. Clutch magazine’s Britni Danielle wrote, “The hypocrisy of Fox News, Reince Priebus, and several Conservatives is astounding.

While many Right Wingers have no problem pandering to extremists in their party like Ted Nugent who regularly spew on racially charged rhetoric (i.e. calling President Obama is the “Food Stamp President” or a Kenyan-born Muslim Socialist or a “subhuman mongrel”), the moment someone, particularly a Black person, does not subscribe to their views (or chooses to not engage as Lemieux did when she told Williams she wasn't interested in anything he had to say), they cry reverse racism and cloak themselves in victimhood.”

Conservatives launched a purported boycott against Ebony last September for its series of covers in the wake of the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed unarmed teenager in 2012. The publication’s covers featured black male celebrities and their families dressed in the type of “hoodie” sweatshirts that Martin was wearing when he died.

The magazine’s sales figures rose in the wake of the conservative initiative. As Daily Banter blogger Bob Cesca said, “You can’t boycott something you've never purchased.”

Black Republican Wants Obama To "Hang Out!"

Black Republican goes to the social networks to show his supporters how to lose an election.

Last night the internet was buzzing about that idiot former Alaskan governor taking to the social networks to attack President Barack Obama on King Day for being a "race-baiter". She urges him to stop "race-baiting".

But wait a minute, Mama Grizzly (aka Palin Da Ass) and her cubs are throwing them shots at the president.

The junk food media picks up on one of those so-called "freed" Black folks telling the president that he should be hanging by a rope. He claims that the president should be tried for treason.

So if the president would betray his country, a country that he swore to protect as the leader of the free world. A man who fought an onslaught of hatred and outright racist attacks from those who claim they're "patriots".


If they actually were patriots, they wouldn't say that our president should suffer harm from national or foreign threats. But since we live in a country where you're freedom of speech is assured. He can say whatever he wants but note that if evidence was determined he was to carry out that threat, he could get a visit from the United States Secret Service. The threatening of the president, vice president and their families is a CLASS THREE FELONY. It carries up to 5 years in the iron college or federal time out. You may pay up to $250,000 in penalties.

"Freed Negro" Joshua Black, who is running for the Florida state house send a few nasty shots at the president.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, the "freed negro" for Florida House District 68 said President Barack Obama should be hanged for war crimes.

So the Tea Party isn't racist!

"I'm past impeachment," Joshua Black wrote on Twitter. "It's time to arrest and hang him high."

The tweet caught the attention of Chris Latvala, a Republican candidate for House District 67. Pretty much a Republican setting his own up.

Latvala broke the Ronald Reagan rule of not attacking your fellow Republican.

"You aren't seriously calling for the killing of Obama are you?" Latvala replied. "I know you are crazy but good heavens. U R an embarrassment."

Latvala added: "I make it my business when so called GOP candidates become an embarrassment to my beloved party."

Black, 31, of Pinellas Park moved to Florida in 2007 after practicing street evangelism in St. Louis and works as a taxi driver. According to his campaign website, Black entered politics in 2012 when he tried influencing the presidential primary.

The website says: "Republicans have a serious communication problem. Everything we say sounds like spears."

Hours after the tweet, Black defended his comment. Obama should be held responsible for ordering a drone strike that killed a U.S. citizen overseas, he said.

"He should be executed for treason," Black said. "I think the appropriate punishment is death. They killed Benedict Arnold. (Obama) shouldn't be allowed to kill Americans without a trial."

Mama Grizzly should have checked on one of her cubs.

The political newcomer said he doesn't fear U.S. Secret Service agents showing up on his doorstep. Many voters might agree with his position, he said, adding: "I guess they're going to call me a racist now."

After talking to a reporter, Black posted a lengthy message to supporters on Facebook.

"I make no apologies for saying that the President is not above the People. If ordinary Americans should be executed for treason, so should he."

Pinellas GOP Chairman Michael Guju said Black doesn't know the secret details of the drone strike. "It is impossible to accept this statement," Guju said. "This is wholly unacceptable and unduly provocative."

Black's opponent in the House race, Democratic state Rep. Dwight Dudley, said Black has the right to disagree with Obama's decisions. But he shouldn't call for Obama's hanging. "It's dangerous and unbecoming for someone who wants to lead to call for such violence and extremist action," he said. "Wow. I'm stunned."

Rush Limbaugh's Only Black Friend Died!

Black conservative pastor and former NFL player Ken Hutcherson passes away.

I know that King Hippo has plenty of Black (conservative) friends. Obviously whenever he's gone he'll put on that old school Black conservative Walter Williams to fill in whenever he's away.

I know that Bo Snardly is his Black phone call screener.

But retired NFL player Ken Hutcherson, the guy who officiated the fourth marriage of the conservative agitator died. The conservative agitator offers his condolences to the only Black man he actually ain't attack on daily basis.

He was a Black conservative and one of the few guest that was featured on that conservative agitator's program. He would call in during special events and talk to about personal issues.

Hutcherson played linebacker for Livingston University (now the University of West Alabama) from 1970-73. He was a starting outside linebacker for the Tiger’s 1971 NAIA National Championship team, and was an All-American both his junior and senior seasons.

He was the NAIA National Player of the Week in 1972 when he made 21 tackles against Southern State. Hutcherson was named GSC Defensive Player of the Year in 1972, and was an All-GSC and All-Alabama Small College selection in 1972 and 1973.

Hutcherson was drafted in the fourth round by the Dallas Cowboys in 1974, and played five years in the NFL spending time with the Dallas Cowboys, San Diego Chargers, and Seattle Seahawks.

He was the senior pastor at Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, Washington, where he had been since 1985. His nickname from his NFL days was "The Hutch". Hutcherson died on December 18, 2013 after more than a decade-long battle with prostate and bone cancer.

In addition to his wife, Pat, and four children, Hutcherson is survived by his mother.

Publicly, Hutcherson would often call in to King Hippo's program around NFL playoffs and Super Bowl time.

Upon hearing about the Black conservative's death, the conservative agitator told his audience that Hutcherson meant the world to him. He said that he wouild be sorely missed and the impact his death would have on others like himself.

Conservative agitator shares his wedding photos to his audience.

KING HIPPO: "He was a man, folks. There was no complaining. There was no bleeding on people. There was none of that. He didn't want his relationship with anybody to be defined, even in what turned out to be the latter months of his life, by his illness. He was a devout Christian. He was a devout practicing Christian. And, as such, I don't think that he feared death because of that. But he's gone now, and it's a great, great loss for his congregation and his family because he's a unique individual. Nobody can be replaced when they're gone, but he's created an especially huge void for a lot of people because he was a counselor to people in trouble, no matter what the problem was."

Hutcherson also made frequent appearances on Chalk E Becker's programs. On December 17, 2013, he right wing media mogul devoted a portion of his program to his friend Hutcherson.

Beck tweeted the same day: "I just spoke to Hutch tonight. He is dying. He promised me that he will wait until I can get there Friday. Pray for his sweet wife and children."

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Ken Hutcherson.

J. Cole: Kendrick Lamar's Ego Gonna Get His Teeth Knocked Out!

J. Cole warns Kendrick Lamar that his antics will get him knocked out!

Kendrick Lamar once rapped a verse on the single Forbidden Fruit off the Born Sinner album from North Carolina rapper/singer J. Cole.

Now all of a sudden, Kendrick Lamar called out J. Cole, Big Sean, Big K.R.I.T., Tyler The Creator, Drake, Mac Miller, Meek Mill, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky, Wale and Jay Electronica along with numerous other rappers in the ultimate diss.

On the single Control which was scrapped from Big Sean's sophomore album Hall Of Fame, Kendrick Lamar put the challenge out there. He was going for blood literally.

"I got love for you all but I'm tryin' to murder you niggas / Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas / They don't want to hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas."

In the same verse, he proclaims himself to be "the king of New York" and "king of the Coast".

J. Cole.

Lamar's Twitter account saw a 510% increase in followers in the week following the track's release, while his Wikipedia page garnered 200,000 page views.

J. Cole basically laughed off the diss and even aimed a shot at the rapper.

Justin Timberlake's TKO (produced by Timbaland) features Kendrick Lamar. The "Black Friday Remix" from Timberlake himself puts in the rivals A$AP Rocky, Pusha T and J. Cole, the latter of whom uses it as an opportunity to respond back to the Lamar.

Cole to the rescue, never save a ho
Hoes like to hide their behavior though
Thought you was a down ass bitch
‘Til I found that shit a couple days ago
I was home alone, next thing I know
That long as verse from a song called “Control” was on
The room got nearer, the tomb got clearer
That’s when I seen the shit playin’ on your phone
Girl, what is that? A ringtone?
Shit, not you too
Man, that hype done got you too
Everybody and their momma gassed,
Even my momma asked what I’mma do
Decisions, decisions
In case this is war, then I load up on all ammunition
If a nigga want problems, my trigger’s on auto
I’ll make sure that nobody miss him
Now pack up your shit, you don’t believe in me
I don’t need you, I got me, bitch
Same nigga moved to NYC, bitch
Got a record deal and a college degree, bitch
Two gold plaques, I produced all the tracks
And I never ever ever leave no Jay Z, bitch
And after all that achievement
Real nigga never even went and got his teeth fixed
Now you try to play me, bitch?
I’ll knock your ass out

Take a little trip into the garden and put out the diss and I bet ya respond.

White Man Lies Black Gets Elected!

Perennial candidate Dave Wilson won an election based on racial deception.

Sometimes I click on Mediaite for the most sensational stories of the week. One in particular is the White man who won an election running as a conservative Republican, but pretending to be a Black man.

If you believe conservatives are that desperate to win, well meet the elected Dave Wilson.

Wilson is a staunch conservative Republican who has no care for the Black community, the Latino community, undocumented workers, and the LGBT community.

In the state of Texas (home of Governor Rick "Oops" Perry, Louie "The Dofus" Gohmert, Steve "The Douche" Stockman, Stallmigo Ted Cruz and perennial loser Ron Paul) this Dave Wilson guy pulled the "Okie Dokie" on many voters.

In a predominately Black area in the city of Houston, Wilson went for the "Hail Mary" pass in an election.

He ran for the board of trustees at the Houston Community College.

He managed to upset Bruce Austin, a longtime trustee in a razor thin election race.

His previous attempt was to become mayor of Houston, the 4th largest city in the United States. He tried to run against Annise Parker, the longtime mayor who is openly gay. He's been running for office more than once.

Wilson puts on a radio ad that makes the ad sound like its a Black man speaking about issue on behalf of the community.

Wilson also pushed direct mail pieces, adorned with pictures of African Americans that Wilson admitted to pulling off the internet, that read “Please vote for our friend and neighbor Dave Wilson.” The fliers also claimed an endorsement by “Ron Wilson”—the name of a longtime African American state representative from the area, but also the name of one of Wilson’s relatives in Iowa. In the fine print, the flier noted “Ron Wilson and Dave Wilson are cousins.”


What's worse is this guy is not apologetic about this.

He actually thinks his victory was a "success" and all that talk about the Black Ron Wilson being a "cousin" is just a "joke".

It's ironic that New Jersey governor Chris Christie won his reelection overwhelmingly. He managed to carry about 38% of the Hispanic vote and 35% of the Black vote respectively. He managed to reach out to those who would normally never vote for a Republican. He warned Republicans that they better know their voters!

Republicans still have a bit of unease when it comes to Black and Hispanic voters. The  Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement look upon people of color as well as Muslims as "natural born criminals" and "gubmint depindants" worshiping the alter of "Brother Barack".

That's probably why the party is 90% WHITE and 10% EVERYONE ELSE!

Republicans are just like cocaine, it's white and whatever else! There's at least something powerful in it when you're getting a high! Republicans are high on stupid.

The Politics Of Love!

Bill de Blasio is America's mayor. The new mayor of New York City celebrates a huge victory with his wife, Chirlane McCray. They been together since the 1990s. McCray is openly bisexual.

Hey, we've covered the closely watched political races in Virginia and New York City.

Did you know that two of the candidates running were married to Black women?

Well that's something I want to share with you here on Journal de la Reyna. Me and S. Baldwin have talked about women of color for a long time. The junk food media will be looking forward to meeting the mayor's wife Ms. de Blasio.

Bill De Blasio was born Warren Wilhelm, Jr. in Manhattan, New York, the son of Maria (née De Blasio) and Warren Wilhelm. His father had German ancestry, and his maternal grandparents, Giovanni and Anna, were Italian immigrants from the city of Sant'Agata de' Goti in the province of Benevento (where his mother's surname is spelled with a capital "D" — De Blasio).

Chirlane I. McCray is a writer, poet, editor, communications professional and political figure. She has published poetry and worked in politics as a speechwriter. She is married to New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio and is the mother of their two children, Chiara and Dante.

McCray met Bill de Blasio in 1991, when they both worked at New York City Hall for Mayor David Dinkins. At the time, de Blasio was the aide to a Deputy Mayor and McCray was a speechwriter. McCray and de Blasio fell in love, and in 1994, were married in Prospect Park, Brooklyn.

Asked about her sexuality, McCray has stated that she hates "labels".

In 2012, when asked about her 1979 essay, she commented: "In the 1970s, I identified as a lesbian and wrote about it. In 1991, I met the love of my life, married him."

McCray and de Blasio are the parents of two children, Chiara and Dante, and live in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Well wishes to the new mayor of New York City.

And even though Libertarian nominee Robert Servis was roundly defeated in the race for governor in Virginia, he at least opened up about his personal life. He is married to a Black woman.

Here's some pictures of Robert Servis' wife.

Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis and his wife Astrid.

According to his campaign website, Robert Sarvis is of mixed-race (White and half-Chinese) and open-minded (supports gay marriage and marijuana legalization). He is well-educated and technologically savvy.

Astrid Servis is a pediatrician originally from Greenville, Mississippi. They are raising two beautiful children in Annandale, Virginia.

Many Republicans blame Robert Servis for being a spoiler in the election. He pulled 8% of the general election vote. The vote could have made a difference in Tea Party endorsed candidate Ken Cuccinelli's bid for the governor's mansion. The Republicans have big problems trying to incorporate people of color into their party.

The only Republican of color in nationally elected office is Tim Scott, the U.S. Senator from South Carolina.

MY PERSONAL TAKE ON INTERRACIAL LOVE

Now I am single. I've been on social networking websites like Facebook, POF, Badoo and OKCupid for dating and social hook ups.

Color doesn't matter to me. As long as the woman loves me for who I am, then I am satisfied with her. I don't discriminate against a person's race when it comes to relationships.

However whenever I see these profiles on the social networks from some saying they don't date "INSERT RACE", I shake my head with disgust.

Single individuals have the right to say their interest in dating. That's perfectly fine. But to say "I DON'T DATE [INSERT RACE]" will guarantee a lifetime of being single.

I understand some don't like overweight people and a particular race. It's understandable. But that shouldn't be a reason for not dating that person. You're negativity will ensure you failure with love.

I mean could it be simple as pie if you just ignore the messages and not engage in contact with the person who you're not suited to. That's if you have such a strong disliking towards that person.

Why on earth would you create a dating profile if not interested in the various individuals who could be your suitor?
