Buzz Kill!

No love for Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa. The entertainers got a dose of reality today.

Two stories for your Monday. 

Two rappers who had once feuded over a woman both got a dose of reality.

Entertainer Wiz Khalifa was busted in Texas for the green.

The New York Post decides to act like a bunch of dicks towards Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

After exiting a plane in El Paso, Texas, marijuana advocate and rapper Cameron Thomaz (aka Wiz Khalifa) was busted in the terminal for a few ounces.

The entertainer managed to get a selfie while being detained (and later released). 

Blacc Hollywood is coming this year. The mixtape 28 Grams is expected to be released on the DatPiff this week. 


Wiz Khalifa is a rapper and producer who hails from Pittsburgh. He is married to fashion model Amber Rose.

Rose was the former fiance of rapper/producer Kanye West.

Now the New York Post decides to send their congratulations in a not so nice way towards Kimye.

The conservative publication is notorious for racial attacks and just plain hateful bullshit decides to get a dig at the weekend marriage of the two celebrity agitators.

nypost

This is open disrespect towards these two. Sure they may be annoying agitators, but this is just tasteless journalism. This is the type of stuff you find in the Onion.

It's been reported that Jay-Z and Beyonce may have not made the guest list. 

Most Americans believe that this could be a "sham" marriage. This is Kim Kardashian's third marriage. This is Kanye West's first. The two have a child together.

The Kardashians are the most hated celebrities here in America. But the New York Post is one of the worst newspapers in the world. It's owned by NewsCorp, the sponsors of Loserville and the Republican Party.

The Town Of West Kardashian!

Celebrity agitators are getting married. Kim Kardashian's third and Kanye West's first.

Kim Kardashian, the celebriturd and her boyfriend/fiance rapper Kanye West are getting married this weekend. Kardashian is a reality star and annoying celebrity. She and her family along with former athlete Bruce Jenner are on this reality show on E! Network.

Kardashian recently had a daughter with her high profile and controversial boyfriend. West is a producer, rapper, media mogul. He is a signed act to Roc-A-Fella/RocNation and is the founder G.O.O.D. Music.

G.O.O.D. Music is credited to Common, Big Sean, John Legend and Pusha T's album releases.

This marriage is going to be big. This will be Kardashian's third marriage and West's first. This is a high profile wedding. The junk food media is swarming to Italy.

The wedding is closing kept under wraps. West is trying to surprise his beau with many themes.

Kardashian landed her first American Vogue cover for the magazine's April 2014 issue, together with West. The cover has been lauded by some, while others have taken a more critical look of the reality star being on the cover, with she and West dubbed the "#worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple (or Kimye)."




In my opinion, I think that this could be a sham marriage.

I just have this big feeling that these two celebrity agitators are going to have a huge fallout.

But I can't judge them. They're in love.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish these two well. And if anything leaks about the wedding, you'll get the latest here.

23: Them Days Growing Up, I Couldn't Stand White Folks!

Growing up in North Carolina when he was young, Michael Jordan was pretty upset over how his family was treated during them days of Jim Crow.

The Donald Sterling controversy is slowing calming down. The LA Clippers have advance to the finals. They ended the Golden State Warriors chances last week. Now they're taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder to advance.

The team has been in the news as of recently. Donald Sterling is their owner. The owner was on the phone with his mistress and I guess she recorded him making a racist tirade against Blacks. The NBA laid the hammer on Sterling. They banned him from every NBA game for life.

This is has pleased a majority of the fans and players of the sport. They believe that there's no place for racism, homophobia and religious discrimination in the NBA.

Legends had spoken out about the controversy. Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and even Air Jordan (aka 23 or His Airness) had spoken out.

Michael Jordan.

He's a god among the basketball faithful.

The legendary NBA star is in a featured biography about his life growing up in North Carolina.

One reveling part of his autobiography was the apparent dislike of White people.

"Michael Jordan: The Life," a new biography about the six-time NBA champion by sportswriter Roland Lazenby that hit shelves this week.

NBC News reports that Jordan told Lazenby that he was suspended from school in 1977 after throwing a soda at a girl who called him the N-word.

"So I threw a soda at her," Jordan's quoted as saying. "I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at the time. Basically, I was against all white people."

Lazenby told Sports Illustrated that it appeared that the root of Jordan's animosity came from growing up in an area of North Carolina where the Ku Klux Klan once had a large presence.

"I've been to North Carolina hundreds of times and enjoy it tremendously, but North Carolina was a state that had more Klan members than the rest of the Southern states combined," the author said. "As I started looking at newspapers back in this era when I was putting together [Michael's great-grandfather] Dawson Jordan's life, the Klan was like a chamber of commerce. It bought the uniforms for ball teams, it put Bibles in all the schools. It may well have ended up being a chamber of commerce if not for all the violence it was perpetrating, too. A lot of the context just wasn't possible to put it in a basketball book. A lot of it ended up being cut."

Jordan's story is "an economic story," Lazenby continued. "It's a black power story. It doesn't come from politics or protests, it comes right off the Coastal Plain of North Carolina and out of the African-American experience."

"As a former player, I'm completely outraged," the NBA Hall of Famer said. "There is no room in the NBA--or anywhere else--for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed. I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level."

Michael Jordan, the retired six time NBA champ recently got remarried to Yvette Prieto, a model and actress. He divorced his longtime wife Juanita, the mother of his children in 2007.

Michael Jordan is the father of three from Juanita and two from Yvette.

He is the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats Hornets.

Alabama State Representative Alvin Holmes "Controversial" Remarks About Multiracial Relationships/Families

Angry, adoptive parents rally in Montgomery: Angry, adoptive parents rally at the state house in response to a controversial statement by Rep. Alvin Holmes last month.

Read what Ms. Peden has to say regarding Rep. Holmes remarks regarding transracial adoption:




Rep. Alvin Holmes remarks about adoption are hurtful as well as untrue

Suzanne M. Peden

As a Clinical Social Worker in the state of Alabama since 1985, and the owner of a licensed child placing agency in Helena since 2001, A Angel Adoptions, I am truly heartbroken by the remarks of Representative Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, during a legislative debate over a bill to ban abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat.

His statement that "Ninety-nine percent of the white people who are sitting in here now, if their daughter got pregnant by a black man, they are going to make their daughter have an abortion" is simply not true. I have been working with pregnant women, babies, and adoptive families in the field of adoption for 29 years and my professional experience does not support his remarks.

Today, more than ever, Alabama and the rest of the nation are seeing an increase in interracial relationships, marriages, and children born who are of mixed racial heritage; President Barack Obama is a great example.

Additionally, the infertility rate among women/couples is at an all time high. I currently have two childless interracial adoptive couples who live in Alabama waiting for an adoptive placement. Last year I placed twelve infants who were of African-American or African-American/Caucasian heritage with adoptive couples who were of Caucasian or mixed ethnic heritages. I have no shortage of adoptive family resources for any race child.

If Rep. Holmes believes his opinions are in fact true then he needs to step up his research. Adoption professionals, birth parents, adoptive families, and adoptees are very upset by his statements that only give negative press to our state! In fact, it is my belief that a caucasian woman pregnant with an African-American/caucasian child in any state is more likely to parent that baby than to have an abortion or make an adoption plan.




Suzanne M. Peden is executive director of A Angel Adoptions in Helena.



State Rep. Alvin Holmes did not start his call to the radio show by talking about white families adopting black children. Instead, he attempted to focus the discussion on interracial marriage, claiming, “First of all, my statement, that I made was that the majority of white people in Alabama was against interracial marriage.”
Representative Holmes said his belief is based on a November 2000 vote in which Alabama voters overturned a 100-year-old law that prohibited interracial marriage, but which Holmes claimed a “majority of whites” voted against. That 14-year-old vote is apparently what he’s still basing his opinions on today.
He's just talking about the conservative segment of Alabama's electorate that is resistant to multiracial relationships and families.  Sometimes, Rep. Alvin Holmes is right.  But the problem with his logic is that it's not just conservatives/Southerners that are resistant to the idea.  It's also liberals/non-Southerners, those who claimed to be progressive on most issues yet have a big problem when it comes to multiculturalism/interracial relationships in their families.

This is not to let right-wingers/conservatives off the hook, for they're more active in opposing interracial/inter ethnic relationships, families, multiculturalism in general.  All you have to read the venomous response to President Obama, the Cheerios commercial, the hateful comments on various conservative message boards such as American Renaissance, Breitbart, Freerepublic, Steve Sailer/VDare, Heartiste, The Spearhead, etc.

Hear what he said before the Alabama State Legislature regarding the hypocrisy of anti- abortionists when it comes to abortion and race.



Then watch the racist hypocrite Sean Hannity's remark:



Shawn Hannity have some nerve lecturing Blacks about bigotry when he's clearly is one!

Honey Maid: Where's The Love?

A few wholesome commercials pissed off the racist right.

Me and S. Baldwin believe in diversity. We covered many issues facing those of color.

It's part of the reason to why I post on Journal de la Reyna. I'm here to be the voice of those who believe in diversity and equal treatment. I am here because I want to share with the readers a very honest opinion about my community, the government and the things going on in the junk food media.

We do not discriminate against race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings.

Again you may find my opinion to be pretty upfront and you may not like what I've posted. That's perfectly fine. I don't force anyone to read anything I post. We don't hold no gun to anyone's head telling you to read anything here on Journal de la Reyna.

We do not subject ourselves to reading the word vomit from a person who flexes their "internet gangsta".

I don't read comments anymore. I don't worry what they say about me nowadays. I rather see them lose it when we're declared the winner.

Wholesome families were featured in Honey Maid ad. Interracial, same sex, single parent and military families were featured in the ad to promote Wholesome.
The Nabisco Company faced some heavy heat from the racist right after they've aired some online ads featuring a diverse group of families.

This Is Wholesome is the new trademark for the graham cracker Honey Maid and its affiliate Teddy Grahams products.

The company is hoping to celebrate diversity and love among all Americans.

Some families included a single dad and his son, two interracial couples and a same sex couple. Some commercials were spoken in Spanish.

Those were totally awesome commercials.

The racist right was pissed that they seen a White man hold the hand of a Black woman. And yeah, they had an opportunity to see two men who love each other and their children in the ad.

Just last year, me and S. Baldwin were talking about the Cheerio's ad in which an interracial couple and their child made the racist right go bananas.

And of course, YouTube has now made it harder for people to post offensive comments on their pages.

Twitter and Facebook are looking at ways to predetermine who are the "troublemakers" online.

Of course the freedom of speech does come with a price. I mean they're entitled to be the condescending assholes the rest of rational points them out to be.

But since this is an election year, do you believe this could help motivate voters?

Because at every turn the Republicans are blocking equal pay for women, equal rights for the LGBT community and the poor.







There's a bonus: General Mills went ahead with the sequel to the Love commercial by featuring the interracial family and their soon to be new edition.

Ohio Woman Kills Marine In Hit-Skip Accident!

Monica Plank and her husband were struck by a hit and run driver. The driver was caught. Plank was killed after the vehicle struck her while she was walking near the road.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Monica Plank.

A marine and her husband got into an argument near a restaurant. They walk down the road and all of a sudden a vehicle ends up hitting her and killing her. For nearly two weeks, there weren't answers until the break came Sunday.

A vehicle struck 34-four-year-old Monica Plank of Stafford, Va., on Sunday shortly after midnight as she walked from a restaurant in Bellefontaine.

The Bellefontaine Examiner  reports video shows two cars and a sport utility vehicle passing near where Plank was hit.

Police Chief Brandon Standley says investigators hope those drivers come forward because they may have seen something that could help resolve the case.

A funeral was scheduled on Saturday in West Liberty for Plank, who was married to a fellow Marine gunnery sergeant. They were in Bellefontaine to visit family.

The Dayton Daily News and the Associated Press report that Bellefontaine police arrested a woman Saturday night in relation to the Feb.16 hit-and-run fatal crash that killed Marine Gunnery Sergeant Monica Plank.

26-year-old Holly Fowler of Urbana is in the Logan County Jail and faces felony failure to stop after an accident and tampering with evidence charges
.
Bellefontaine Police were following leads at a local bowling alley, located four blocks from the crash scene, when they interviewed Fowler and examined her vehicle. The burgundy Chevy Malibu had evidence of damages consistent with the damages from the hit-skip scene, police said.
Holly Fowler is in Logan County lock up after evidence proved that she was the hit and run driver.
Fowler initially repeatedly denied any involvement in the fatal crash and denied knowing how the damages to her car occurred, but in a later interview at the Bellefontaine Police Department, she admitted responsibility for striking Plank on Feb. 16.

"We are relieved that we have been able to bring this case to some sort of closure for Mr. Plank and his family," said Bellefontaine Police Chief Brandon Standley.

"Our investigators have worked tirelessly to bring this case to a close, and we are confident we have built a solid case," he added.

Fowler is expected to appear in court Monday morning.
