It Seems Like The Property Manager Called The Law On Us But Not Them!

White woman who claimed she was a property manager got iced after she was caught on camera numerous times calling the law on Black people.
Looks like a white property manager from Indiana had closed up her social media. And for good reason. 

Candice Clingerman is facing a backlash for multiple incidents that went viral in the past month. She is allegedly the property manager of the Rivers Crossing at Keystone in Indianapolis. She is a white woman who had called the law on Black residents at the pool. The incidents happened in period of two months.

Two incidents involving Candice Clingerman have her in the freezer.


These incidents were sparked by her confrontation with residents at the pool. According to Shayne Holland, he was relaxing at the pool after he did a workout in the fitness room.

A female security officer came up to him demanding he showed proof of identification and residency. Holland refused to acknowledge the request citing that the female security officer refused to confront the other white people who were in the vicinity. He shows the key as proof that he lives there. It didn't convince the security officer.

That's when Clingerman came out to the pool to talk to Holland. The two exchanged words.

"Why do I need to give this lady I don't know my address?"

"I showed her my key, Candice. What else did I have to do?" 

"I just feel like I'm not welcomed."
Candice Clingerman went ghost after someone unearthed her social media. 
Holland later learned that the woman was hired by the complex to enforce the no-nonresidents swimming rule. When Holland started to dismiss the security officer, Clingerman ordered him to leave.

"There is a sign that says that I can ask for anybody to leave," said Clingerman.

"I could see the frustration [the guard and Clingerman] had. I do feel like I was racially profiled. [Candice] doesn't know how to relate to black people."

Barrett & Stokely Properties, Inc. responded to the controversies. The first one they immediately apologized to Holland

The second incident. 

An anonymous poster shared this incident. 

"So yesterday at River Crossing at Keystone at the crossing, we were kicked out of the pool and our BBQ was shutdown for no apparent reason as this lady who said she was "property manager" preceeded to let every white person that was there stay and only kicked out all Black [people]."

The local junk food media shared the video and it went viral.

By that time, Barrett & Stokely immediately put Clingerman in the freezer.


After the incidents went viral, the company had issued a new set of rules to remedy problems without resorting to booting people off the property.
Shayne Holland had two encounters with nasty property manager at an Indianapolis luxury apartment.
Only in Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka, a white woman using her privilege as "property manager" forces Black residents of a luxury apartment out of a pool. They are paying nearly $2,000 a month in rent and they can't even use the facilities. 

Hell no....

The junk food media tried to reach out to Clingerman. She went ghosted. After all, she got her share of death threats and public shaming. She is probably searching for a new job as I post.

Okay, I will respond to the comments from previous postings in a few days. I will offer my respond in full and provide the right wing trolls who read World News Today a sharp rebuke to the most recent postings.

Again, thanks to the good readers, S. Baldwin and the contributors of this blog. 

What Happened To Daniel Hambrick?

Daniel Hambrick was shot and killed by a rookie Nashville Metro cop.
They capture a mass shooter in Nashville without a bullet fired.  That white terrorist had no business owning a firearm survived a cop. Yet, a fleeing suspect is shot in the back by Metro Nashville Police.

Yeah, we see you.....!

The Nashville Metropolitan Police arrested a white terrorist who massacred four people of color inside a Waffle House a few months ago.

James Shaw, Jr., was shot in the arm and hand after he disarmed the white terrorist. He didn't have a firearm but he was treated like he was the shooter.

The terrorist was caught a few days later near the area. The Metro Police didn't even fire a bullet.

Now a controversy involving a cop shooting and killing a fleeing suspect.

The family of Daniel Hambrick is demanding a federal probe into the fatal shooting. The young man was fleeing Andrew Delke, a 1 year and eight month cop.

The officer responded to a report of stolen vehicles in the area. While it's unclear of what occurred, the cops are saying that Hambrick was in possession of a firearm.

In the state of Tennessee, you are allow to have a firearm on you. It's an open-carry state.

Delke, who responded to the call. The videos shown has Hambrick fleeing away from Delke. The video appears to show Delke shooting Hambrick in the back and head. The Metro Police showed a picture of a firearm they claim Hambrick was carrying and refused to drop.

When you're fleeing a police officer.......the officer claims he told him to drop the object!

I smell bullshit.

The Nashville Fraternal Order of Police said that Hambrick (again fleeing) could have shot the officer at any moment. Yet, the officer shot him in the back and head.

Police union leaders are dumb as fuck. Hambrick didn't fire a weapon. All I know from watching the video, a rookie murdered a fleeing suspect. The rookie is crying and screaming that he thought the suspect had something on him. He "feared for his life" when chasing after a "fleeing suspect."
A fleeing suspect was shot in the back and head. The cop feared for his life.
So if you're not willing to take a bullet for your country, your state and your community, you have no business being a cop. Because cops are going to be shot at. If a suspect is fleeing, they are trying to escape the threat of being shot.....!

Do you comprehend to what I'm saying?

This police union leader James Smallwood is saying that "grainy" footage is deceptive and doesn't tell the whole story.

Okay, dumbass. Tell me one image showing that Hambrick was reaching for an object in that video?

"It is our firm belief that Officer Delke acted reasonably under the totality of the circumstances," said Smallwood.

And the cop didn't have a body camera or cruiser camera. So it's practically his word against the dead body. Obviously, the cop will say anything to avoid discipline or criminal charges. The junk food media will start going over Hambrick's history with law enforcement. They won't acknowledge his good deeds as a human being. They will taint the case with allegations that witnesses didn't see a cop shot a man in the head.

Fox News already trying to taint public opinion. See the images of the Daniel Hambrick's mugshot and the Nashville Metro rookie cop Andrew Delke.
If this become a national story, expect Fox News, conservative carnival barkers and the white extremists to parade the usual word vomit about Chicago, rap music, black on whatever violence, Barack Obama and LeBron James. All the usual "dog whistle" politics.

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Democrat Philip Bredesen are running for the seat that is being vacated by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN). They are both are pro-gun, pro-cop, pro-law and order and anti-science candidates. Bredesen said that he's not going to worry about the issues of the day. He is already signalling his support for Trump policies.

The state is considered a toss-up because of Blackburn's moronic comments. Bredesen was a popular governor in the hey days. He vows to distance himself from the progressive wing of the party.

Donald J. Trump endorsed Blackburn over Rep. Diane Black (R-TN), the reasonable choice (although less stupider than Blackburn).
Vickie Hambrick and her attorney ask the NAACP for assistance. They demand that the feds look into the case.
Given how important the Black vote is in Chattanooga, Memphis, Clarksville, Jackson and Nashville-Davidson County, what choice do you have?

The dumb ass Republican lawmaker or the old Demcoratic cracker?

Both candidates suck.

We demand justice for Daniel Hambrick. Charge that motherfucker with murder.

DIRTY COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED. 

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

HOLD THESE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE.





GOP Lawmaker Got Served By The Feds!

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) is facing federal charges for insider trading and fraud.

This is embarrassing for the Republicans.

Echoes of 2006 are ringing again. The blue wave is a coming.

Lawmaker who became one of the first major endorsers of Donald J. Trump is got served by the feds.

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) has been indicted by the feds for insider trading. The upstate New York lawmaker, his son. Cameron Collins and his girlfriend's father Stephen Zarsky are being accused of using inside information on stock.

The feds caught Collins on camera on the phone talking to Cameron about dumping shares. Soon after, the younger dropped shares and he told his girlfriend's friend to do so. Then the shares dropped 93% and the company tanked.

Collins vows to win re-election and be cleared of the charges.

"I will mount a vigorous defense in court to clear my name. I look forward to being fully vindicated and exonerated, ending any and all questions relating to my affiliation with Innate."

Collins won't talk to the junk food media.

"My real concern lies with the millions of people suffering with secondary progressive [multiple sclerosis]. We firmly believe we were on the verge of a medical breakthrough."

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the outgoing House Speaker kicked Collins out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. They said that he will not return to the chairmanship
With friends like these.
Federal prosecutors charged Collins with 13 counts of securities fraud and wire fraud. These charges could put each of these men in the federal time out for 30 years. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The indictment says that Collins shared non-public information about Innate Immunotherapeutics, an Australian-based pharmaceutical company that Collins had shares in. At one point, Collins owned over $45 million in stock.

The feds alleged that Collins and his accomplices were netting an estimated $800,000 in revenue.

Collins who represents the Buffalo metro area gave insider information to other members of the House. Former Health and Human Services Secretary then Georgia congressman Tom Price had allegedly had shares in the company as well.

Collins represents the 27th Congressional District of New York which includes suburban Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester.

Jack Dorsey Got Hit By A Softball!

Twitter CEO goes to a softball game.
Just today, the CEO of Twitter went on the right wing carnival.

The right wing carnival barker is the official softball of the Donald J. Trump administration. He is the most hated media personality in the country. He is an annoying conservative agitator and condescending figure. He is a kookspiracist and word vomit aficionado.

You guessed it, it's Sean "Softball" Hannity.

The embattled CEO of the social media company has decided to keep Alex Jones on the social platform despite Facebook, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube banning the far right kook.

Jack Dorsey has been under pressure to stop the spread of misinformation, racism and bigotry. Twitter is one of the many platforms where trolls from all walks of life post bullshit online to cause chaos. The Russian intelligence agencies are seeing how Americans are motivated by social media.

They used it as a motivation for create phony profiles. Even the softball was fooled by some fake profiles. Many of the Russian trolls often use the softball posts.




It's unfortunate that he picks the softball to do an interview.

They are actively trying to repeat the success of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They are trying to seed more discourse in the country.

Dorsey seems to be a fan of Alex Jones and is doing his work to defend him. Alex Jones said that Softball Hannity is the mainstream version of him, "word for word."

Many progressives are calling Dorsey out for going on that divisive program.

For years, the softball has peddled bullshit, created controversy and spread misinformation on behalf of Trump and Republicans. Softball Hannity is an active example of violation of terms and service.

Black Republican Challenges Debbie Stabenow!

Republican candidate John James will face Democratic senator Debbie Stabenow.
The blue wave is a coming.

The Michigan race for the U.S. Senate got a whole lot interesting.

Donald J. Trump backed candidate John James won the primary and will be the nominee who will compete against Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI).

James is a Black Republican and he is hoping to chip off votes from a base that normally avoids voting for his kind.

Fox News reports that James, 37, defeated Sandy Pensler in the GOP primary Tuesday. The Michigan businessman and political newcomer and Pensler exchanged barbs over business records, conservative credentials and the president.

Trump endorsed James last week. James also boasted support from white extremist rocker Kid Rock and Rob O'Neill, the retired Navy SEAL who killed Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Early in the primary campaign, Pensler, who loaned his campaign $5 million, had a financial advantage over James, who gave only $50,000 to his campaign. James ultimately raised $3.9 million by the end of June, with an additional $1.3 million in cash by August.

James is Michigan’s first black GOP nominee for a major statewide office in more than three decades, but he says he wants to be judged based on his character.

James graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2004, according to his campaign website bio, and became a Ranger-qualified aviation officer. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he earned a Combat Action Badge and two Air Medals while logging more than 700 hours leading two Apache platoons.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) is not taking anything for granted.
He returned to Michigan in 2012 and currently serves as president of the family business, James Group International. James has taken the company from $35 million to $137 million in revenue, the site states, and has created 100 jobs in Michigan and elsewhere. He is married with two young children.

James will compete against incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in November, who had no primary challenger. Stabenow is seeking a fourth Senate term and has easily fended off past challengers.






Stabenow was elected to the Senate in 2000, and is a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senate Energy, Finance and Budget Committees. According to her website, she authored a bipartisan Farm Bill that is strengthening Michigan agriculture and making unprecedented investments in protecting the Great Lakes.
James and his family.
Though seen as an uphill battle, Republicans are optimistic that James could potentially turn the blue Senate seat red, after Trump’s victory in Michigan in the 2016 race.

"Washington has enough career politicians," James said in a news release after his victory. "We need people who have experience getting results. You aren't going to get results from a 43-year career politician. Debbie Stabenow better get ready for the fight of her political life."

If elected, James could be fourth member of the U.S. Senate. The only Black Republican who is currently serving in the Senate is Tim Scott of South Carolina. The two only Black Democrats serving in the Senate are Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey.



Rashida Tlaib Will Be First Muslim Woman Elected To The House!


The blue wave is a coming.

To the right wing trolls who are reading and posting on World News Today, we want to say thank you for the comments. I will address all the comments in due time.

The seat once held by John Conyers will be held by a woman of color who is a Muslim. Rashida Tlaib is an attorney and activist. She is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants. She won the Michigan primary and special election to become the nominee for the district.

In February, Tlaib announced she would be entering the race for Michigan's 13th congressional district and with no partisan opponent in the general election, she will run unopposed. Regardless of the outcome, she will be the first female Muslim to serve in the 116th Congress.

Tlaib ia married to Fayez Tlaib. Together they have two sons, Adam and Yousif.

The first Muslim woman to join the U.S. House of Representatives is a historical achievement for the Democratic Party. She will hold a seat of a lawmaker who felt the #MeToo Movement.

Conyers was the long term lawmaker who resigned from Congress after allegations of sexual abuse and corruption came forth. He was considered one of the most corrupt lawmakers in Washington.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic nominee from New York has endorsed Tlaib for Congress.

There is going to be three Muslims serving the U.S. House of Representatives (at least until January 3, 2019). Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the long term lawmaker is retiring to run as the Attorney General of Minnesota. He will continue as Deputy Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Ellison and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are currently members of the House who serving.

The establishment Democrats might want to rethink about keeping the status quo. I am not saying that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are bad people. But they are toxic to the party. Conservatives are trying to scaremonger voters into believing that the Democrats have nothing but obstruction in their sights.

We must oppose Trump and his allies.

With Rashida Tlaib in Congress, she will help Detroit and the metro region.

Social Media Cancelled The Alex Jones Experience!

More chaos for far right profit rage agitator.

The empire of Alex Jones is collapsing. The far right kookspiracist has been blocked by YouTube.

Now the kook is calling for others to be banned.

Spotify, Facebook, Stitcher and Apple have also put the brakes on Jones.

Infowars is being blocked on most social media outlets.

So far, Jones has been hit with a lawsuit from the grieving families of the Newtown shooting. The family of Sandy Hook victims have been subjected to death threats inspired by Jones.

Jones complains that the Sandy Hook massacre was a staged hoax. He also believed that Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg is a "crisis actor." Each of these claims were recanted by Jones after the lawsuits were served.

He is being sued for defamation of character and promoting a campaign of hatred.

The bans have been swift and startling, coming after mounting public backlash against Infowars’ pernicious rhetoric, which is most notorious for helping popularize the false belief that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting never happened. Jones is currently the defendant in a precedent-setting lawsuit brought against him by the parents of a Sandy Hook victim.

But the ongoing conversation around the real-life damage Jones and his network have inflicted has also been accompanied by weeks of hedging from major internet companies, including Facebook and Spotify, about how to deal with Jones on their platforms while still protecting free speech.

Initially, Facebook, YouTube, and Spotify all took selective action, banning some episodes of Jones’s podcasts and shows or removing selected social media posts they found to be in violation of various policies while allowing Infowars channels to remain active. Last Thursday, the popular audio streaming app Stitcher became the first platform to pull all of Jones’s content, without a lot of fuss.

But on Sunday night, Apple followed suit, summarily banning all of Jones’s content from iTunes — in the process sending a definitive message about what is and isn’t permissible free speech. Almost immediately, the dominoes began to fall: In the hours since Apple took action, multiple sites have started scrambling to reverse positions they were defending just a week ago.

The most notable of these is Facebook, which abruptly about-faced on its own free speech policy just hours after Apple did, essentially in the middle of the night. After that came YouTube, which appeared to ban Jones’s channel (which had more than 2.5 million subscribers as of Monday) from its platform late Monday morning.

It's part of a campaign to hold conservative agitators like Jones, Laura Ingraham, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Matt Drudge accountable for the years of promoting bullshit and divisiveness.

Dems Could Flip Republican Seat In Ohio!

Dems are hoping to flip another Trump district.
No matter the area, vote......

If you're tired of gun violence, the status quo, divisiveness in the country, and incompetent leadership, vote for candidates who could change the outcome.

Moms Demand Action, March For Our Lives, John Legend and LeBron James want to flip Ohio's 12th Congressional District. They formally endorsed the candidate who could shake up the midterms this year.

The district that was once held by former Republican lawmaker Pat Tiberi is now considered a toss up.

Republicans are scrambling to keep a seat that was once considered relatively safe in the Cook Political Report.

The contenders are Troy Balderson, a longtime Republican Ohio state senator and Danny O'Connor, a rising Democratic challenger.

Balderson is a married state senator. He is considered a typical Republican who supports most of our dear imbecile's agenda. He is hoping the last minute endorsements from Mike Pence, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Mark Levin could bring out Republicans.

O'Connor is a 31 year old from suburban Columbus who was at first trailing Balderson. He is the Franklin County Recorder who wants to capture voters fed up with the actions of a Republican controlled Congress.
Could Trump's last minute push help save a fairly strong Republican district?
Donald J. Trump and Balderson on their part has dubbed the candidate a clone of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). They have stroked fear mongering about a Speaker Pelosi and how progressives are bad for the country,

O'Connor dismissed the allegations and stayed focused on issues like healthcare, unemployment in the district and how he is engaged to his girlfriend who is a Republican.

He like most Democrats are calling for new leadership.

Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are lightening rods and lackluster on results within the party's base. While effective, the Democrats want more fight and they better results. O'Connor like Rep. Connor Lamb (D-PA) and New York Democratic congressional nominee Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will not back another House Speaker who has been established.

Also the progressives are mounting a push to force Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) out of Congress. He too is under fire. The conservative lawmaker is under fire.

As then a former assistant wrestling coach for Ohio State University, Jordan ignored the concerns of men who were sexually abused by a former doctor.

The same shit that got head football coach Urban Meyer in the freezer.

Balderson won't acknowledge Jordan or his longshot bid to become Speaker of the House.

Today is the Special Election for the Ohio 12th Congressional District.

Like I've Said Before: Conservatives Don't Give A Sh*t About Chicago!


Progressives, when are you going to start boycotting The Drudge Report, Bill Cunningham and World Net Daily?

I've listened to Cincinnati right wing carnival barker Bill Cunningham on Sunday night ramble on about gun violence in the Black community. He and many like him are whistling to their white extremist base.

I know we are focused on Alex Jones, Breitbart, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Sean "Softball" Hannity and that old fart Rush Limbaugh. But when are we going to start pulling out the rest of the weeds. Matt Drudge is the most dangerous right wing figure in the junk food media.

Gun violence is the biggest threat in this country.

The dog whistle is blowing everyday in Amerikkka. From our dear imbecile attacking a Black athlete and journalist to the right wing agitators showing "concern" for the gun violence in Black America.

Me and S. Baldwin have talked about concern trolls. These are the individuals who often appear on blogs like this one to drag up concern about issues that don't affect their lives. It's usually a white person (i.e. male or bot) who runs this bullshit about how we and many others failed "someone."
Nearly 80 people shot in Chicago. 12 people killed.
Enter the third largest city in the United States.

Chicago is once again in the tongues of the right wing. This weekend, the city saw 11 people killed by gun violence. Over 80 people were injured by firearms.

Now people are calling for major change in the city.

Rahm Emanuel, the embattled mayor of Chicago once again is facing calls to resign after Chicago city officials voice frustration with the way Chicago Police are handling affairs.

Many residents are scared of not only the gangs but the city's police force.

The city has unregistered firearms on the street and many of these victims are children.
Embattled mayor Rahm Emanuel might want to find a new line of work.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Monday morning he visited Stroger and Mt. Sinai hospitals to thank those that treated the victims of the violence.

"It may not have been in your neighborhood, it may not have been in your community, may not have been on your block. But that neighborhood, that community, that block is in the city of Chicago and it is part of our home," Emanuel said.

Johnson said while CPD can do better, the shooters need to be held accountable.

"I hear people holding us accountable all the time," Johnson said. "I never hear people saying these individuals out here in the streets need to stop pulling the trigger. I never hear that. I never hear that. They get a pass from everybody and they shouldn't."

The shooting has drawn reaction from around the country, including Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and current lawyer for President Donald Trump. Giuliani originally tweeted, "Policing genius Jerry McCarthy can do for Chicago what I did for NYC," in reference to former Chicago Police Superintendent and current mayoral candidate Garry McCarthy.

I can't say the names nor account the amount of people killed. I am guessing around 400 people were killed by gun violence in Chicagoland. Mind you that many of these people killed were victims of unfortunate circumstances.
When will progressives start targeting Matt Drudge for the years of promoting fake news and bullshit?
Gang violence has been around since the 19th Century. It's been around in the 20th Century. It continues in the 21st Century. But since our former president Barack Obama came from Chicago, many on the right have often fingered him for the violence in the community.

Obama's name is always brought up in conversation whenever the junk food media reports on mass shootings.

This past Saturday, there was a march on the NRA. Calls to ban the AR-15, repeal Stand Your Ground and passing stronger background checks.

Chicago priest Michael Pfleger protested on the Dan Ryan Freeway only a month ago. The busy freeway carries Interstate 90 and 94. It caused a 120 minute wait on freeway travel. Conservatives bemoaned that police resources were wasted protecting protesters.

Many entertainers like Common, John Legend, Rhymefest and Spike Lee came to the city to urge city leaders change the direction of leadership.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Michelle Obama and Black Lives Matter are involved.

Barack Obama has been talking about it before and after his presidency.

Yet these right wing agitators keep saying no black leaders talk about it.
Cincinnati carnival barker Bill Cunningham does the Sunday night version of The Drudge Report.
The only one who isn't talking about is the NRA's propaganda machine and Donald J. Trump. If they spoke on it, they would use it as a recruiting tool for  white extremists.

No one is pointing the finger at Republican governor Bruce Rauner. He is a supporter of lax gun laws. He signed off a bill that makes it illegal for people living Illinois purchasing bulk weapons from lax states like Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin and Kentucky.

I see that conservatives are going all out to divide this country. They don't give a flying fuck about Chicago or anyone killed by gun violence.

They complain about gun control advocates like David Hogg having armed security guards. After months of vilification, Hogg has gotten death threats.

Hogg has been swatted by 8chan trolls.

The NRA continues to troll with their exposes on gun control and activists targeting their promoters.

Trump is the person capable of solving this crisis. If he thinks his "law and order" is solution to stopping gun violence, he is totally wrong.





Charlotte Rae Passed Away!

Charlotte Rae passed away.

I'm Trying To Eat My Lunch! Why You Call The Law On Me?

Can't enjoy eating at a college dining hall without the police called. Oumou Kanoute was stopped by the cops after she took a break in a dining hall at Smith College.

A woman is enjoying a lunch at Smith College in Massachusetts. A person calls the law on her.

I tell you what. Aren't you getting tired of white people calling the law on people of color?

Well this happens quite frequently and this is an example of Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka.

Oumou Kanoute is enjoying her lunch in a dining hall when a cop came into the facility. The cop asked her what she was doing inside the facility. An employee claimed that a suspicious Black male was in the facility and the cops were notified.

Kanoute was doing summer class and internship and recorded this encounter.





CBS News reports that the employee who called police on a black Smith College student who was eating lunch in a common room on the western Massachusetts campus Tuesday has been placed on leave, school officials say. In a transcript of the call released by school officials Friday, the unidentified employee tells campus police dispatchers that the student seemed "out of place."

In a statement Friday, the college announced they have retained an outside law firm to "conduct a thorough, external investigation." The employee, who hasn't been identified, has been placed on leave pending the result, the school said.

The student, rising sophomore Oumou Kanoute, told CBS Boston she works at a summer program teaching chemistry to high school students for Smith's STEM program and was reading in the dining hall of the Tyler House dorm Tuesday.

"Next thing you know, I see the cop walk in with a Smith employee whom I've never seen before and the man said, 'We were wondering why you're here?"' Kanoute said.

Kanoute tells the officer she works on campus and was eating lunch and relaxing.

"Oh you're just taking a break? You're with one of the summer programs?" the officer responds.

Campus police found "nothing suspicious" about Kanoute's presence, Amy Hunter, the school's interim director of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity, said in a statement. A police report wasn't filed because the officer determined the report to be unfounded, according to the school. 

In the transcript of the police call, the employee who made the report tells a dispatcher, "I was just walking through here in the front foyer of [redacted] and we have a person sitting there laying down in the living room area over here. I didn't approach her or anything but he seems to be out of place … umm … I don't see anybody in the building at this point and I don't know what he's doing in there, just laying on the couch."

The dispatcher asks for the caller's last name and says they will send someone to check it out.

"Alright. I'll wait over here," the caller says.

According to the transcript, the responding officer calls back dispatch to report "all clear."

"That was a student relaxing in the living room," the officer tells the dispatcher. "They had lunch here. I guess and they decided to stay for a while."

"No student of color should have to explain why they belong at prestigious white institutions," she wrote. "I worked my hardest to get into Smith, and I deserve to feel safe on my campus."

Kanoute said in the post that she was reading, not making noise or bothering anyone, and added: "All I did was be black."

While she spoke calmly to the officer in the video, she said in the post she had a "complete meltdown" after the incident.

"It just still upsets me to just talk about it because I don't even feel safe on my own campus and I'm away from home," Kanoute told CBS Boston through tears. "I'm the first in my family to go to college. I'm doing this not only for me but for my family, for my ancestors."

In a statement posted online, Hunter said the university "does not tolerate race- or gender-based discrimination" and that such behavior "can contribute to a climate of fear, hostility and exclusion that has no place in our community."

Smith president Kathleen McCartney issued a public apology to Kanoute and assured her "she belongs in all Smith spaces."

"This painful incident reminds us of the ongoing legacy of racism and bias in which people of color are targeted while simply going about the business of their daily lives," McCartney's statement read. "Building an inclusive, diverse and sustainable community is urgent and ongoing work."

McCartney said Smith staff members will be required to participate in mandatory anti-bias training beginning in the fall and the school would host a series of workshops for faculty and staff focused on "topics of identity, inclusion, bias-response and bias-prevention." She said the school's Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity would work with campus police to strengthen protocols by which they assess and respond for calls for assistance. Campus police are already trained on issues surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion and implicit bias, the school has said.

Kanoute told CBS Boston she appreciates the president's apology, but wants the identity of the caller released. "I want a public apology from that caller and I want them fired from the school," Kanoute said.

The school says they aren't releasing the employee's name because college policy requires records released to have references to involved parties removed. They say they won't release outcomes of the external investigation related to personnel matters, but will publicize and recommendations on "policies, procedures, or further community training that result."

Trump Picks A Fight With King James!

LA Lakers star LeBron James hits back at Donald Trump.
LeBron James opens up a school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. He goes to CNN to talk with Don Lemon and talk about his success. He talks about the Los Angeles Lakers, the Ohio legacy and Donald J. Trump.

CNN re-aired Don Lemon's interview with LeBron James.

The interview focused on James' contributions to his hometown of Akron, Ohio, including a new public school for at-risk third- and fourth-graders there. But the two men also discussed politics. James told Lemon that President Donald Trump has used athletics and athletes to divide the country.
"I can't sit back and say nothing," James said.



This prompt a response for Trump.




Now the controversy. Many are calling out Trump for his insult on the intelligence of Black athletes and news reporters.

To call Black people dumb or low IQ is a typical attack from white extremists.

Melania Trump had to calm a fire. Because she actually had her presser release a statement promising that she will do more to help James.

"It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation and just as she always has, the first lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today," the first lady's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement. "As you know, Mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well-being, healthy living, and the importance of responsible online behavior with her Be Best initiative. Her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools, and she would be open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron."

This comes on the heels of a special election in Ohio's Congressional district 12. The 12th District is a toss-up now because of the Republican Pat Tibberi's departure. The long time Republican decided to exit placing the suburban Columbus metro district in play.

The Republican running is slightly ahead of the Democrat. The Democrats hope to pull an upset to finish the term and carry forth a full term in 2018 general.
