Omarosa: Donald Trump Is Looking Out For Us!

omarosa-trump
TV's iconic villain Omarosa comes out in favor of The Donald.

The most controversial contestant on The Apprentice came out in favor of her old boss. Omarosa, the celebrity agitator who is an ordained minister came in favor of Donald Trump. She is fiercely defending him from the accusations of being sexist, racist, ignorant and immature.

This little spat between Trump and Cruz has dominated the junk food media's attention.

Trump retweeted an offensive image of Heidi Cruz next to his current wife Melania and it set off  a shitstorm of criticism from Republicans and Ted Cruz himself.

Now his former castmate from The Apprentice says this is all bullshit.

Omarosa, the famed diva of the first season endorsed Trump for president. Omarosa Manigualt is reality television agitator, media analysis and ordain pastor. She was voted by most critics as the most nastiest villain in television.

She slams Cruz for being melodramatic. She also took aim at Megyn Kelly for being such a diva.

Basically Omarosa is saying that her friend and mentor Donald J. Trump isn't a mypobic, sexist, xenophobic, racist dick.

She also hit the junk food media for saying that Trump's rhetoric is considered racist.

She was on CNN with Don Lemon. The debate got a little heated. Don got so frustrated with the filibustering he actually scolded her.

Omarosa was once engaged to the late actor Michael Clarke Duncan. He passed away in 2012. She has secured a deal with GSN to host a game show.

She is a native of Youngstown, Ohio and attended Ohio's Central State University and Howard University. She has a bachelor's degree in communication and broadcast journalism.

The Nation Of Cosby Collapsed!

It just got worse. Now entertainer Bill Cosby officially loses his cash cow. The Cosby Show, A Diff'rent World, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids and his movies are pulled from the roster.

The damage has now effected everything with his name on it suffers.

The law is searching for recent victims now that entertainer Bill Cosby admitted to spiking the punch.

He's facing an onslaught of lawsuits from women who claimed that he rape them. Some are telling the junk food media that he slips knock out drugs in the drinks. On occasions he inappropriately touch them. He was forced to pay up a couple of women in disclosed cases.

The AP got a hold of the disclosed cases. Cosby's attorneys were trying to keep them sealed. The judge ordered them unsealed and the AP broke the story last night.

Soon after the release, Cosby saw his world collapse before his eyes.

I Spy, The Bill Cosby Show, The New Bill Cosby Show, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, The Electric Company, The Cosby Show, A Diff'rent World, Kids Say The Darnedest Things, Little Bill, Fatherhood, Cosby and movies featuring entertainer Bill Cosby are off the air.

Every historically Black college dropped Cosby's name from the roster. His comedy tour is suspended indefinitely. Bookstores and music stores are pulling his comedy albums, his television shows on DVD, and his books.

Bounce TV pull everything Cosby. Bounce TV ends A Diff'rent World and Fat Albert. They will avoid playing movies featuring Cosby.

Viacom's Centric on BET, TV Land, Nick At Nite and MTV 2 dropped The Cosby Show and Cosby.

 This could be the end for America's favorite TV dad!

Your thoughts on this controversy?

Paul Laurence Dunbar: American Dreamer!

Legendary Black playwright and poet Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote some of the world's most famous poems and sonnets.

June 27, 1872 was the birth of American poet and playwright Paul Laurence Dunbar.

My community celebrates the life of a great poet. His legacy is a part of Dayton, Ohio. His home is on Summit Street (now named Paul Laurence Dunbar St.) a national monument.

Dayton, Ohio is where he grew up writing his best poems, plays and sonnets.

He grew up around the time Orville and Wilbur Wright wanted to patent inventions.

He traveled overseas. He found love with  Alice Ruth Moore a fellow poet. He became one of the world's greatest poets of the late 19th and early 20th century. He found personal demons as well.

He would become involved in alcohol and depression. He would end up losing his life to TB (tuberculosis). He buried at the Woodland Cemetery in Dayton.

His home is part of the Dayton Aviation National Historical Park and is an Ohio designated state monument.

Born to parents who had been slaves in Kentucky before the American Civil War, Dunbar started to write as a child and was president of his high school's literary society. He published his first poems at the age of 16 in a Dayton newspaper.

Much of his more popular work in his lifetime was written in the Negro dialect associated with the antebellum South. His work was praised by William Dean Howells, a leading critic associated with the Harper's Weekly, and Dunbar was one of the first African-American writers to establish a national reputation. He wrote the lyrics for the musical comedy, In Dahomey (1903), the first all-African-American musical produced on Broadway; the musical also toured in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Dunbar also wrote in conventional English in other poetry and novels; since the late 20th century, scholars have become more interested in these other works.

Could Wilberforce And Central State Be In Danger Of Closing?


Located in Xenia Township, Ohio in the census designated town of Wilberforce is two historically Black universities are on the verge of fiscal and educational disaster.

Central State University is facing fiscal programs.

Wilberforce University established in 1856 is facing not only fiscal programs but the loss of educational accreditation.

Students and facility are pretty damn pissed about the conditions of the institution. They wanted to protest the ungodly conditions and call for the cannon to fire. In that cannon, comes the president, and head student facilities manager. Students want them fired out the cannon.

The student enrollment has dropped over 15% from the last decade and it seems like nothing is changing.

Wilberforce University is trying to plug the leaks. Because if the Ohio Department of Education repeals the school's academic standings, it's toast. It will be doomed and it will likely close.

Algeania Freeman is hoping that Wilberforce will keep its glory intact despite calls for her to bounce.

The two previous presidents were disastrous. Floyd Flake and Patricia Hardaway didn't give two about the college. They spent money on their friends and allowed the university to fall apart.

Central State University is about 1/4 mile down the road. It became a college in the 1887 and has a top ranked NCAA-II football team and famous marching band.

Both that could all be wiped away when the budget comes out.

The Ohio Board of Regents and State Auditor put CSU on fiscal watch. It's in danger of being taken over by the state. It has 90 days to get its act in order.
Central State University is located in Wilberforce, Ohio about 35 miles from Dayton.
CSU president Dr. Cynthia Jackson-Hammond is dismissing the possibility and is working on trying to keep the university above the water.

In a press release statement:

“Central State University is aggressively working to improve the University’s financial balance as we recruit and retain more college-ready Ohio students. Over the past two years (FY 2013 & FY 2014), independent, external audits have confirmed sound accounting practices. Those audits contained “no qualifications,” which indicate that this institution is fiscally sound and implements quality standards of its fiscal operations. The major contributor to the decrease in Central State’s Senate Bill 6 composite score is the decline in student enrollment, which is evident at many colleges across the nation. Although the University receives on average 5,500 applications a year, many of these high potential students are plagued by their limited ability to meet the parental/family contributions required by the Federal Pell Grant Program Changes to the Federal Pell Grant Program and also the Parent Plus Loan have negatively impacted college affordability for first-generation college students. Tuition and fees represent 46 percent of the University’s revenue streams annually; thus, there is a direct correlation between student enrollment and retention and university revenue.”

CSU has seen a decrease larger than Wilberforce. It had a drop 30% in registered students.

Both are Black historical colleges. Wilberforce University is oldest institution in country.

Wilberforce University is a private, coed, liberal arts historically black university (HBCU) located in Wilberforce, Ohio. Affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, it was the first college to be owned and operated by African Americans. It participates in the United Negro College Fund. It's a private university.

Central State University, commonly referred to as CSU, is a historically black university (HBCU) located in Wilberforce, Ohio, United States. Central State University is a member-school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. It's a public university.

Established by the state legislature in 1887 as a two-year program for normal (teacher) and industrial training, it was originally located with Wilberforce University, a four-year institution devoted to classical academic education. In 1941 the college gained a four-year curriculum, independent status in 1947, and was renamed as Central State College in 1951. With further development, it gained university status in 1965. In 2014, Central State University received designation as an 1890 Land-Grant Institution.

Robert Champion's Death In FAMU Band Hazing Will Have Former Bandmates Heading To The Iron College!

The Florida courts rule in the death of Robert Champion.

Robert Champion's death in a hazing incident led to some of the band members tapping license plates.

Back in the 2011, Champion a drum major who attended Florida A&M was given a serious beat down on a charter bus. When they tried to wake him up, they found Champion unconscious.

He collapsed after undergoing a ritual referred to as "the gauntlet", in which band members must walk from the front of the bus to the back while other band members kick, punch, and hit him with straps, drum sticks and other objects. Fellow band members told detectives that the ritual is required in order to be considered for leadership positions.

His family considered it to be a hate crime because they believed (or assured) their son was gay.

It took a few hours in the courtroom to find some of the 15 members guilty of manslaughter.

That charge alone could land the guilty in the iron college for 5 to 20 years.

The AP reports the jurors left the courtroom around 3:50 p.m. to being deliberating, following closing arguments and jury instructions Friday.

In his closings, a prosecutor said the three remaining defendants on trial for the hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major didn't beat him because they disliked him but because it was tradition.

A total of 15 defendants were charged originally, but most took plea deals.

State Attorney Jeff Ashton said Friday during closing arguments that Robert Champion's death was the result of a hazing tradition that was ingrained in the school's famed band.

Closing arguments were delayed after Ashton wanted to find out if jurors were influenced by the sight of two defendants praying outside the courtroom.

Five of the six jurors said they saw Aaron Golson and Benjamin McNamee praying.

Judge Renee Roche questioned the jurors but no one said it would influence them.

McNamee, Golson and Darryl Cearnel are the final three defendants charged with manslaughter and hazing in Champion's death.

Champion's beating death aboard a band bus parked outside an Orlando hotel after a football game exposed a culture of hazing within the school's famed band.

The medical examiner testified Thursday morning. She told the court how the hazing ritual killed FAMU drum major Robert Champion.

ΣΑΕ Frat Boys: They'll Never Be A ___________ At Our ___________!

They'll never be a fraternity that chants racism at the Sooner Nation. The University of Oklahoma puts the brakes on frat boys and their chapter.

Okie Dokie! Here's a controversy riding the horse. The University of Oklahoma had to do some apologizing for one of its fraternities and their "epic fail".

Sigma Alpha Epsilon got a major pull out! The Sooners had to pull the plug on the fraternity after it was revealed a disturbing video of White frat boys shouting and jigging on NIGGERS.

The frat boys' freedom of speech was captured on camera phone. They were chanting, "They'll Never Be A NIGGER here at ΣΑΕ (Sigma Alpha Epsilon)".

They'll never be a NIGGER in ΣΑΕ (clap your hands)

They'll never be a NIGGER in ΣΑΕ (clap your hands)

They'll never be a NIGGER

They'll never be a NIGGER

They'll never be a NIGGER in ΣΑΕ

You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me

They'll never be a NIGGER in ΣΑΕ!

The national organization of Sigma Alpha Epsilon closed the Oklahoma Kappa chapter at the University of Oklahoma after a video surfaced showing members singing a racist, unsanctioned chant. The students were boisterously singing and taking the NIGGER to the woodshed.

They parodied the popular children's song, "If You're Happy and You Know It."
The Sooners put protest in silence.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon quickly suspended the charter of the involved chapter and suspended it's members on Sunday, March 8, 2015.

The University of Oklahoma president, David Boren, subsequently evicted the fraternity members, leaving until the following midnight, on Monday, March 9 for all members to vacate the fraternity's campus dwellings.

This is the conservative movement in full swing. That's why it's dubbed the racist right.

This is privileged White people telling America, that NIGGERS have no place in college or America.

Rand Paul: You [Black Folks] Need "Freedom!"

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) speaks to Howard University students.

The kookspiracy comes to the historically Black college. Of course, the talk of this nut job running for president is growing and I guess he's reached out to "us Black folk" about him and his daddy's legacy of "doing nothing" but still gaining this amount of unprecedented attention.

Conservatives and the race card: It's only played when you're on the losing side of a debate.

The Republican Party are atoned to the race card. You just like to place it in Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and President Barack Obama's back pocket to say "oh it's those niggers who play the race card, not us!"

United States senator from Kentucky, the Tea Party darling, Rand Paul is the Republican Party goes Howard University to preach this crap about how Republicans brought "us Black folk" to freedom and the Democrats continue to leave "us Black folk" in the poorhouse.

The Politico reports that Senator Paul brought his outreach campaign to Howard University on Wednesday, giving skeptical students a lesson in the positive history of the Republican Party and the African-American community.

At one of the nation’s oldest black schools, Paul insisted under questioning that he “has never wavered” in his support of the 1964 Civil Rights Act — an issue that dogged his 2010 Senate campaign after he questioned the act in a televised interview.

Paul makes the claim that the president and his Democratic allies failed the Black community.

Paul went on to then describe the GOP’s rich Civil-War era history with the emancipation of slaves, and assailed the Southern Democrats of the era for discrimination. “How did we lose the support of an entire race?” he asked “How did we lose that vote?”

Paul disputed the suggestion that Republicans sanctioned voter suppression in states where GOP legislatures passed voter ID laws. One student accused the measures of targeting the poor, seniors and minority voters.

“I think if you liken using a driver’s license to a literacy test you demean the horror of what happened in the 40s and 50s. It was horrific. No one is in favor of that,” Paul said. “But showing your driver’s license to have an honest election is not unreasonable.”

He did stumble at one point when he couldn’t recall the name of the first African American elected to the Senate, and was prompted by students shouting “Edward Brooke.” At another point he asked whether they knew that the founders of the NAACP were Republicans. 

Groans could be head and one student shouted ,“We know our history!”



I would love to say this in regards to the Paulnuts out there: No chance in hell will America elect a politico who believes monsters hide under the bed!

There may be some here who troll the internet for all things Rand and Ron Paul.  You might be one of these supporters cult followers of this kookspiracy Senator Rand Paul.

Rand Paul (and his daddy) are establishment politicos whose "KOOKY" ideas appeal to the broad coalition cult following of pot smokers, anti-government-like disengaged conservatives and libertarians who feel like this guy could be the next "god". These are the individuals who troll polling sites and internet forums writing, blogging, debating 24/7 over issues they've created out of the propaganda being spewed by the likes of Becknerd and Crazy Jones.

These type of Republicans hate last year's miserable crop of presidential candidates. They've gritted their teeth as they watched perennial loser Mitt Romney get his ass handed to him.

Yeah, there are liberal who fall victim to the bullshit that Paul says. I don't see many but there are some liberals who think he's all about ending the wars, stopping drones from flying over the United States and legalizing the weed.

But when you look into the Paul philosophy, you see that he would rather meddle in your bedroom, your vagina or in the case your neighborhood with intrusive policies and proposals. Paul would rather pass legislation that could affect progress. Repealing Wall Street Reform and Obamacare are themes that drive Paul and the Republicans.

Did you know that the Pauls have friends that are anti-Semitics?

Sure enough there's plenty of anti-Israeli agitators who think that country is the reason for the global unrest in the world.



There are some deficit hawks who think that United States is acting like a "god" and the powers that be will be its undoing. The deficit hawks want to cut spending only in areas that doesn't affect them. Say for example, Paul comes from Kentucky and it's major military bases and coal mining industry could be affected by the sequester. So instead of cutting into his constituents jobs, he'll send his proposals to hurt another state or region.

Some claim that ending foreign aid to lower nations and Israel is the perfect solution (even though these nations aid the United States in these goddamn wars).

There's plenty of extremists who think anyone who questions the motives of Paul are against the U.S. Constitution. Of course, these are the ones who appear on tax revolters, survivalist, conspiracy theorist and White Supremacists websites.

Of course if you criticize this guy or his daddy, you'll be baited into a trivial debate over how these individuals "read the Constitution all the ways" and you're the ones who "misinformed" about the issues.

You really need to understand this!

Ron Paul has no accomplishments under his nearly 35 years in Congress.

Rand Paul for nearly two years hasn't gotten one bill he's sponsored passed in the U.S. Senate.

The only thing a cult follower will tell you is that Rand Paul filibustered a nominee for over 13 hours.

The nominee was confirmed the next day.

Ron Paul had only one freaking bill was passed by Congress under his sponsorship.

Rand Paul may be the rising face of the Republican Party. But if he's getting endorsements from idiots like Sarah Palin, he's doomed for political defeat if he should run for president.

No real person would support a fringe candidate who based his legacy on a cult of ignorance.

Just because a few "weed" smoking celebrities (Barry Manilow, Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson) had once endorse Ron and Rand Paul's policies, doesn't mean they've voted for him. So if these people spoke out for the Rand Paul, it would damage their credibility as an entertainer.

It's likely they'll support candidates who represent their views. So I guess that they voted for President Barack Obama over perennial candidate Mitt Romney any fucking way.

For your information, the Democratic Party nominated and American people elected Barack Obama, the first Black president. The president represents the onset of a changing demographic. In 40 years, the nation will get a little browner and the Republican Party has little chance of getting people of color to join their ranks.

Followers of the cult will get nowhere!

What on earth thinks you got the notion that "he's winning" every freaking time?

The infamous interview with liberal agitator Rachel Maddow. Rand Paul, then candidate for senate. Since this incident, Paul had went solely to Fox News for his interview.

Students Warn That Wilberforce University Is Doomed!

The nation's oldest Black university Wilberforce is facing tough times. The students are frustrated with conditions at the university and they demand things change! The warn that Wilberforce University could be doomed if things don't get back together.
The nation's oldest Black university is 20 miles from Dayton, Ohio and 50 miles from Columbus, Ohio in the remote area of Wilberforce, Ohio.

Students are protesting that Wilberforce and nearby Central State University are going to fold if the administration officials don't get their acts together. Many students are upset that college tuition is on the rise and the conditions of the campus are still poorer than most advance colleges in urban cities.

The students are threatening to leave the school and its gotten locals attention. For many years the two predominantly Black colleges were struggling in fiscal matters. Each college was at the brink of being permanently shut down. The state has helped the colleges through the fiscal emergencies but its still a long way to go.

The Dayton Daily News reports that the nation’s oldest private historically black university faced a protest by more than half its population on Wednesday as students threatened to withdraw over what they claim is mismanagement of the school.
These were happier times at Wilberforce University. Things are so bad some students threaten to leave the school.
Students at Wilberforce University met outside the administration building to deliver a message to university President Patricia Lofton Hardaway and demand change of “diminishing conditions.” The students said without action, they believe the 156-year-old university will close by 2015.

“We need some immediate change now,” said senior Brandon Harvey, president of the student government and protest organizer. “Academic life, spiritual life and social life are at an all-time low. I’m afraid when I come back three to five years from now, Wilberforce University will not be alive.”

Harvey said 337 students requested withdraw forms on Wednesday, and they will leave the school by fall 2013 if conditions do not improve. According to Wilberforce, 510 students are presently enrolled at the university. In response to the rally, university trustees met on Wednesday, but the board declined to comment until today, said university spokeswoman Marcia Copeland Hudson.

Hardaway immediately after receiving the students’ letter said she had not heard “a clear, consistent message in terms of what (the students’) issues are.” She said, however, that she and other administrators have always had an open door policy with students.

“We will continue to be open to speak with students and address their concerns,” she said. “The university continues to work in the best interest of the students. We don’t take this as a gauntlet; as a line in the sand. Students are our reason for existing and we have long been a place of access and success and we know that we will continue.”

The students’ complaints over dwindling enrollment, rising tuition and living costs, the pay of administrators versus the compensation of faculty, mold in a dorm and declining quality of student services echo some of the issues raised by faculty last year.

In September 2011, faculty and a group called Concerned Citizens of Green County filed a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General alleging the Board of Trustees and Hardaway were “violating the fiduciary duties to the university through malfeasance and gross negligence,” the Dayton Daily News reported at the time.

The complaint also charged that the university is spending down its endowment too low and was more than $24 million in debt. The university’s endowment in 2010 was nearly $11 million, according to their most recent federal filing as a nonprofit.

The attorney general’s office said they cannot comment on any possible investigation.

Hardaway, whose compensation for 2010 was reported as $143,792, in the past has confirmed to the Daily News that in order to balance the budget, Wilberforce has been forced to furlough employees, stop payments to retirement accounts and withhold paychecks.

Wilberforce is now less than half of 2005’s enrollment of 1,170, according to historical data kept by the Ohio Board of Regents. Greene County and the state recently approved up to $282,000 to demolish five buildings on campus, including the married student apartments on Wilberforce Switch Road, a single-family home on U.S. 42 and dormitories on North Bickett Road.


Harvey said Wilberforce is not preparing students to compete in a global environment. He added that the event “was a total disrespect to the student body by the president” because she did not come down from her office to address the group.

During their event, the students walked to Central State University, the public historically black college just across the street, to request transfer forms and request a meeting with President Cynthia Jackson Hammond.

“She explained to them that while she appreciated them coming over, that protocol is very important,” said CSU spokeswoman Gayle Barge. “And that they should have open dialog and should be talking to President Hardaway.”
