The 6 most outrageous details from Conrad Hilton’s in-flight meltdown

A GQ report from the flight reveals Conrad Hughes Hilton III's outrageous antics

SARAH GRAY

Last month the monstrous behavior of the youngest Hilton heir, Conrad Hughes Hilton III, was revealed to the public. In July aboard a 10-hour trans-Atlantic flight, Hilton threw an epic (and threatening) tantrum, and was charged with intimidating and assaulting several British Airways flight attendants.

GQ Magazine put together a detailed timeline of what happened during the flight: “based on 1) the criminal complaint filed on February 2, which is a sworn affidavit by the FBI agent who investigated the case, and 2) my extensive interview with Mitchell, in 81H, who does, after all, analyze human behavior for a living.”

Conrad’s arraignment was scheduled for March 5 (two days after his 21st birthday). He agreed to plead to one account of simple assault on Feb. 23, according to GQ, and he faces a maximum of six months imprisonment. Given the public’s tendency to both relish and scoff at the bizarre behavior of the rich and famous, here are the juiciest details from the in-flight meltdown:

1) Let’s set the stage, shall we? Mitchell describes Hilton’s appearance:

“He was dressed posh casual, expensive haircut. He looked like a polo player and walked with a sure-footed march, being loud. He said something like they had attacked him. I heard a lot of “fucks.” The staff were being really low key, but it was monstrous. Inhuman. I mean, really, it was.”

2) Five minutes after takeoff Hilton was reportedly walking down the aisles, when nobody else is supposed to be up. The complaint later alleges that:

“Four members of the crew ask Hilton to return to his seat, but he refuses, saying that if they are standing, he should be allowed to stand, too. He’s cursing and being aggressive. He says he has ‘a fucking problem’ and threatens to hit someone seated four rows behind him.”

3) Mitchell describes watching him later on the flight:

“I was about to video it, but he looked at me, really threatening. I don’t often watch horror movies, but you know how the walking dead have a look in their eye? I thought, ‘He’s going to come at me next.’ He turned around and said, ‘Now everybody’s judging me.’ That’s when they closed the curtains.”

4) The report details him lashing out at a customer service manager:

“As Hilton wanders around the plane, he lashes out at the customer service manager who is shadowing him to protect the passengers and his 21-member crew. ‘Stop following me!’ Hilton yells, adding: ‘I am going to fucking kill you!’ Hilton points his finger in the attendant’s face, shouting, “I will fucking rip through you!” and ‘I will fucking own you!’”

5) The infamous “peasants” line is reportedly repeated many times, according to the report. Oh, and he also smokes weed in the lavatory:

“Numerous times, Hilton yells, ‘I will fucking own anyone on this flight; they are fucking peasants!’ At one point he approaches another flight attendant and brags that he is already banned by other airlines. He says he has issues, that he’s just broken up with a girlfriend, and that his behavior will probably turn into a lawsuit for his father to pay. He laments that he wants to smoke marijuana. At around 9:15 p.m., he locks himself in a lower deck restroom; soon the smell of weed is detected in the cabin.”

6) According to Mitchell he’d be the “weakest link,” if he were stranded on an island:

“If you were on a desert island, Hilton would be the weakest link, wouldn’t he? Let’s face it. He’d be the one about whom everyone would say, ‘Oh, shit, don’t get him to do anything. He’ll balls it up.’”

Is it any wonder why Americans don't like upper class folks because those people feel entitled to do whatever the heck they want to do without any consequences whatsoever?

Why I Cannot Say That Hemings-Jefferson Relationship is Romantic

Why I Cannot Say That Hemings-Jefferson Relationship is Romantic(Updated)

I cannot in the whole world say that the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings is one of romance. I'm sorry I'm not buying into mainstream media and pundits history revision. These were the same people who venomously deny that Jefferson coerced and abuse Sally Hemings, let alone an involuntary relationship. There are still many who totally deny the Hemings-Jefferson relationship to this day. Don't these people see before their eyes the many complexions Black Americans are today? They are not the products of recent couplings, but of coerced and abusive relationships between Black women and White men during slavery, segregation, and Jim and Jane Crow. My friendly blogger Ann said in her commentary:

"Until the day comes when an enslaved woman can have a say-so over her body, the children that come from her body, and how and when she can decide herself what she will or will not be able to do with her body, the word mistress will never be used by me in the same sentences with the words slave and master, regardless as to whether it is Thomas Jefferson or any other white slave master."

Not only Black women suffer the indignity of abuse, rape, and sexual exploitation by all men, but they were routinely deny respect and equal protection under the law(read At the Dark End of the Street by Danielle McGuire).  Antimiscegenation laws were a proof of such indignity. Refusing to be called by their last names is showing disrespect. 

While mainstream media and society are very obsessed over the presidency of President Obama, society doesn't want people to discuss about the other racial mixing that is both very coercive and exploitative. Barack Obama is a product of consensual interracial relationship and marriage, that of a Black man and a white woman. America is more sympathetic and comfortable with that combination although they show contempt toward that combination.  Read Richard Cohen's racist article regarding the DeBlasio family this past November. Then again, they don't pose a threat to the structure of American white supremacy because the white woman who marry black men takes his status.

It's time to talk about this shameful, sordid history instead of sweeping it under the ground as usual.

Blogger Biologist Danielle Lee An 'Urban Whore' By Biology Online

I'm a scientist and I'm being treated like trash by people from Biology Online.

Is this how women of Color scientists are treated?

This is an example of why women and People of Color aren't into science.  I'd love to become a scientist since I was 8 years old, but social studies, culture, reading, English, Spanish, library science, art, and history are my loves.  I still love science, but I'm despair by the racism/sexism that goes on in that field.  Here's a sad article regarding how the scientific community treats Black women such as Ms. Danielle Lee.  Danielle Lee is a scientist/scientist blogger from Oklahoma, one of the most misogynistic states in America today.  Here's the Huffington Post article on the Sista:

After turning down an offer to contribute for free to a science website, biologist Danielle Lee was allegedly called an "urban whore" by one of the site's editors.

It all started when Biology-Online offered Lee, who's doing her post-doctoral research at Oklahoma State University, the chance to be a guest blogger. The editor, whose name appears to be Ofek, said the opportunity would provide her with a great deal of "exposure," boasting that the site has 1.6 million visitors a month.

On Thursday, Lee politely declined the offer, according to screengrabs posted on IsisTheScientist, a blog. But the Biology-Online editor who made her the offer became upset and apparently responded by asking: "Because we don't pay for blog entries? Are you an urban scientist or an urban whore?"

The next day, an indignant Lee wrote about the incident on her Scientific American blog, "The Urban Scientist," saying the name-calling was dismissive, and the idea of being paid in exposure, rather than actual U.S. currency, is "wrong-headed."

From the piece re-posted on IsisTheScientist:

This is work. I am a professional. Professionals get paid. End of story. Even if I decide to do it pro bono (because I support your mission or I know you, whatevs) – it is still worth something. I’m simply choosing to waive that fee.

But here's where things get even crazier. Later that day, Scientific American (which apparently had listed Biology-Online as a partner until recently) deleted Lee's blog. The URL now leads to an error message.

The following day, Scientific American Editor-in-Chief Mariette DiChristina gave a cursory explanation on Twitter:

But after Lee's story was picked up by numerous blogs and news sites over the weekend, DiChristina wrote a longer explanation for having pulled the post, saying: 

Unfortunately, we could not quickly verify the facts of [Lee's] blog post and consequently for legal reasons we had to remove the post. Although we regret that this was necessary, a publisher must be able to protect its interests and Scientific American bloggers are informed that we may remove their blog posts at any time when they agree to blog for us.

Biology-Online did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Huffington Post.

Ben Jealous Leaving NAACP!

NAACP president Benjamin Jealous is leaving the organization.

The head of the nation's civil rights group is leaving by the end of the month.

Benjamin Jealous is stepping down as the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

He wants to spend more time with his family.  He is the youngest ever national leader of the organization.

Under Jealous' lead, the NAACP has had a number of notable achievements during his tenure, including: registering 374,553 voters and mobilizing 1.2 million new and unlikely voters to turn out at the polls for the 2012 presidential election; leading the charge for Connecticut and Maryland to abolish the death penalty; endorsing marriage equality; and fighting laws the NAACP claims were intended for voter suppression in states across the country.


During Jealous’ tenure, the NAACP's online activists have increased from 175,000 to more than 675,000; its donors have increased from 16,000 individuals per year to more than 132,000; and the number of total NAACP activists has topped one million.

Jealous will step down as president of the NAACP at the end of December 2013 Jealous is married to Lia Epperson, a law professor at American University and a civil rights attorney.

He leaves behind a somewhat controversial history. I mean he was around during the whole Shirley Sherrod fiasco in 2010.  During a convention, Jealous stated that the Tea Party was the last elements of racism.

He slammed those ignorant Republicans like Tim Scott (the only Black U.S. Senator), Rand Paul, Palin Da Ass, and Glenn Beck as panderers of racism. He was completely right on that one.

It pissed off that agitator Andrew Breitbart. That agitator tried to get back at the NAACP by releasing a video of then U.S. Agriculture representative Shirley Sherrod talking about her experiences in the South.

Sherrod lost her father to the racial extremists who murdered him. She had some resentment towards White people at a time. As a community advisor, Sherrod was hoping to help save families from losing their homes.

She was dealing with a White family from the South who was on the verge of losing their home, changed her views.

So as she shared this experience, Breitbart took all the good parts out of the speech and put it together to make it seem like the NAACP was hosting a Black extremist and President Barack Obama allowed this person to be on the "gubmint" payroll.

The video was posted on the Breitbart websites and it was going to be on the Chalk E. Becker show.

President Barack Obama ordered Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to send that woman packing.

The NAACP also overreacted to it too by issuing an apology.

Soon as the controversy was starting to built up. The truth came out.

The video was doctored, the controversy soon swung to the president overreacting and the media's rush to judgement. Also this fiasco left egg on the face of Andrew Breitbart. His credibility was ruined during that event.

He managed to rebuilt himself as the guy who took down Anthony Weiner, a Democratic congressman who texted his penis to women. Weiner was the only success that Breitbart had during his time as an agitator.

Weiner would later try to run for mayor only to be sent back to the cesspool he's created out of his arrogance.

Breitbart would later die of a heart attack in 2012.

Jealous and Breitbart were not the best of friends. The conservative agitator was trying to smear the NAACP and have Jealous fired.

Jealous also criticized the president. He believes the president has to throw a little more weight into the issues in the Black and Hispanic communities. The unemployment rates for Black and Hispanic workers is very high.

Jealous, Rev. Perm and the president spoke at the March On Washington rally last month.

He made it clear that Black America must speak up about issues such as unemployment, racial profiling and the U.S. Justice system (in regards to the George Zimmerman verdict).

Under his leadership, the NAACP endorsed the rights for gay couples to marry.
