What Happened To The Many Transwomen Of Color?

Bee Love Slater becomes a number. The number of transgender women of color killed in 2019. She would be the 18th victim of violence. Her body was found in a vehicle burned beyond recognition.

This is a story that we're not covering in the junk food media.

How many transwomen of color are being killed out there?

Thought and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers does not bring back the dead or heal the wounded. It's worthless platitudes and phony sympathy. It's a distraction.

Reminder: Transwomen of color being killed at a faster rate.

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

Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence. They offer nothing but platitudes and distractions to take the ball off an issue that has been a plague on our country. They want to ban flavored vapes and restrict women's rights to choice. However, when it comes to high capacity firearms, these are "god-given" rights.

Fuck the bullshit.

Do you believe the murders of transwomen of color is problematic in the United States? (Expect trolls to pick and respond with the dumbest answers)

Yes. I believe that this is a major problem in the United States. Transwomen of color are being killed by sexual abuse and gun violence. The government must find ways to protect transgender Americans. They deserve to live their lives as truly themselves.

No. I believe this is not an issue. The LGBTQ community continues to push an agenda on Americans who don't support this. They were assigned a gender at birth and should be identified as such. I believe that their agenda is the reason to their deaths.

Other

Please Specify:

I am tired of dealing with mass shootings. I am tired of saying, "thoughts and prayers" and "my heart going out" every freaking time there's a mass shooting or a victim of gun violence. I don't know any of these people. If I knew these people, I will address it.

However, these folks never get the stories of success. They are often vilified because of choices that some of these motherfucking trolls scorn upon.

You would never know these people's names because these issues are being swept under the rug. They are being killed by anti-transgender bigots. They are being called by their government names and not their true names.

It's a problem in the United States. We need to protect our women of color.

Again, I don't judge the lifestyle of individuals. Many of these women were killed where either victims of sexual abuse or transphobia. Some of the women killed were never named.

In 2019 there were 19 victims who were identified as transgender.

Dana Martin was found shot to death in Montgomery, Alabama. She was driving when a bullet shot her. The vehicle she was driving was found in a ditch. She was 31.

Jazzaline Ware, was a transgender woman who found dead in her Memphis home. The law hasn't determined if foul play or suicide was a factor.

Ashanti Carmon was a victim of sex trafficking. At age 27, Ashanti was a victim of sexual abuse and robbery during her short life. She was identified by Washington, DC's Metro Police and Prince George's County Boys. She was on survival sex. She slept with men and women to pay her bills. She was homeless and out of options. Many transgender women are often never hired in the United States because of state laws that allow companies to fire at will anyone of LGBTQ. Ashanti was a killed on the eve of International Transgender Day of Visibility.

Claire Legato, 21 was killed after an argument between her mother and the suspect who shot her. The suspect shot her after Claire defended her mother. The Cleveland Police have been searching for the shooter and will criminally pursue aggravated homicide charges.

We had talked about Muhlaysia Booker. This was the transgender woman who was beaten in the street by a group of Black men. This happened Dallas. Instead of helping Muhlaysia, they were taunting and sharing the knuckle style chili serving on social media. The suspects were caught and criminally charged. However, a few months later, Muhlaysia was found shot. Her body was found near a private golf course. The police had found the suspect. They determined that she was a victim of sexual abuse by a sexual predator who may have been a known serial killer. The suspect had ties to prostitution stings and a status in Offender U.

Michelle "Tamika" Washington, 40 was a trans rights activist. She was shot in Philadelphia. She was found in a neighborhood called Franklinville. There was a suspect caught.

Paris Carmeron, 20 was found shot along with two other individuals. We have talked about her death on this blog. Paris was killed by a sexual predator who had anti-LGBT hatred. Paris, Alunte Davis and Timothy Blancher were found shot in Detroit. This happened during the Memorial Day weekend.

Chynal Lindsey was a transwoman of color who was found naked in a Dallas neighborhood. The 26 year old was the many crimes against transgender women in Dallas. They thought the sexual predator who killed Muhlaysia Booker was involved. It turned out that another sexual predator was involved in the death of Chynal. The FBI and state are seeking information about this sexual predator to determine if he has serial killer motivations.

The faces of transwomen killed by hate.

Johana Medina Leon, 25 was seeking asylum in the United States. She was from El Salvador and she was HIV-positive. She was denied medical treatment for an undisclosed illness and would die at an El Paso hospital due to failure of treatment. Donald J. Trump and Republicans are trying to punish asylum seekers from Central America and Mexico. Transgender individuals are often detained and sometimes denied entry.

Chanel Scurlock, 23 was found shot and killed in Lumberton, North Carolina. Her family was concerned about her safety. She was planning to meet up with a Facebook troll who stole her photos and planned to exploit her. She went to confront this individual. Turns out the troll was armed. The troll shot and killed Chanel. The junk food media identified the victim by the government name and even referred her as a gay man in some reports. The suspect was caught and charged for murder and robbery.

Zoe Spears, 23 was another transwoman who was a victim of sex trafficking. She was found shot and killed in Fairmount Heights, Maryland, a suburb of the Washington, DC area. The murder occurred a few miles from where Ashanti Carmon was found. The death has made DC Metro and area law enforcement target areas where prostitution is rampant. They were arresting tricks and prostitutes to combat the gun violence plaguing our nation's capitol. Zoe's death affected transgender women who worked in the stroll. They feared that there was a serial killer who had predatory intentions.

Denali Berries Stuckey, 29 was found shot and killed in North Charleston, South Carolina. Her death was an ongoing investigation. The law haven't determined a motive. However, this is the third transgender murder in South Carolina since 2018. Her killer hasn't been caught.

Tracy Single, was found shot to death in Houston. The 22 year old was found in the back of a convenience store parking lot near the Katy Freeway (Interstate 10). The victim was homeless. Tracy was a victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. The victim was allegedly in a relationship with the accused. The suspect was upset over a breakup or affair committed by Tracy. Her death would mark the third in Texas.

Kiki Fentroy, 21 was a transwoman of color who was shot in killed in Miami. The family believes that she was a victim of sexual abuse and gun violence. They believed a 17 year old was trying to lure Kiki to an abandoned house for a sexual favor. The suspect and his friend would try to corner the victim and drag her to the house. They robbed her and shot her at point blank range. The suspect allegedly was trying to robbed Kiki and had no interest in sex. The suspects were charged with murder in the first degree.

Pebbles LaDime Doe was found in a vehicle with a gunshot to her head. The 24-year old trans woman was discovered by a person who saw a vehicle in a driveway. The South Carolina authorities haven't determined if the victim was an area resident. They don't have a suspect in her murder. Her death marks the fourth in the state.

Bailey Reeves, was shot and killed in Baltimore. She was a homeless teen. She was a victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was found in a backyard with multiple shots to the torso. This happened only a few weeks ago. The Baltimore Police haven't determined a motive but are aware of prostitution being known around that area.  The 17 year old transgender woman was rejected by her family for coming out as trans.

Bee Love Slator was found burned and decapitated in her own vehicle. This happened in Clewiston, Florida. Witnesses saw a vehicle on fire and the law responded to it. They saw a body in the vehicle that was unrecognizable. The junk food media identified the victim by the government name. Bee Love's was apparently shot and killed by the suspect. The suspect decided to burn the body to throw off the law. There is no suspect caught in this death.

This is a huge issue affecting many transwomen. Many of the victims were women of color and the junk food media has either ignore this. Many of these victims were sexually abused, rejected by society or just victims of hate.

They were human beings.

Transgender women have a higher risk of death because of individuals and their fear of difference.

Folks who a binary or transgender often face obstacles in their lives. Suicide and sexual abuse are often top on the list of issues facing transgender women.

The Human Rights Campaign is hoping the Democratic candidates running for president acknowledge this issue. Because the Republicans and Trump are pretty much passing on this issue.

They have no concern for the lives of their fellow Americans.

Truly a sad day in Amerikkka folks.

Speaking on behalf of women of color, we can't allow this nonsense to continue. From Trump to entertainers like 50 Cent, transphobia is not cool. It's dangerous. We got to get over this bullshit about manhood.

If men want to be in relationships with transgender women, that's their right. Fuck your feelings and fuck your concerns. They aren't hurting anyone.

Also I want to make a correction. One of the victims of the Dayton terrorist attack was identified as transgender. Jordan Cofer (Betts) (aka the terrorist's relative) was misgendered by the junk food media. The victim was either an intended target or unintended target.

I'm Trying To Open A Bank Account! Why Are You Calling The Law On Me?

Georgia doctor had the law called on him at a local bank.

An Atlanta based doctor is angry over the law being called on him. He was in a Henry County, Georgia bank when bank employees called the law on him when he tried to open up an account.

The doctor says all he wanted to do was open a bank account, but minutes later, he says he found himself face-to-face with the law after a bank worker called 9-1-1.

"Until it happens to you, you never know what it was feel like," said Anthony Onyegbula, who spends most of his days treating cancer patients as a doctor in Henry County.

But Thursday afternoon he spent part of his day under suspicion of being a potential criminal.

"They said I was suspicious, I was wearing a hat, and they thought I wanted to rob the bank, and I was kike, 'What?'' Onyegbula said.

The doctor told the junk food media he was at the United Community Bank in Henry County.

While he was on the phone with his wife, an employee was on the phone with 9-1-1.

Caller: He went to the front door and he's been on his phone, and, I, um, called from my phone to tell the employees to lock the front door.

"I looked at the door and it said close at 4:30 and my time say about 2:15, 2:10, I'm like what happened?" Onyegbula said.

Caller" He's been on his phone out front. And we have no cars in the parking lot. He's a walker. So, I feel like he's up to no good.

United Community Bank is a regional bank in the Southeastern United States. They are doing damage control after an employee called the law on a Black doctor.

Onyegbula and his wife left the bank and went to another bank. They didn't realize that at the time, the law was in hot pursuit. They would be in confrontation with the couple.

"Here come the same police, came inside the bank, now it's two of them, and they said they told the manager to clear the room, because they wanted to talk to us."

The doctor was questioned and then released.

The doctor wold be angry and embarrassed by the whole ordeal.

The regional president for United Community Bank sent the junk food media a statement.

"For privacy reasons, we do not comment publicly about the details of any customer or potential customer transactions. However, providing excellent customer services is our top priority and we are disappointed that we didn't deliver that to Drs. Onyegbula and Tedga in this case. This afternoon we were able to speak directly with Drs. Onyegbula and Tedga to personally apologize for the misunderstanding. We are glad for the opportunity to connect and improve, and hope to have an opportunity to earn their business in the future."

Greyhound Bus Line Drops Dayton!

Greyhound Bus Lines leave Dayton.

Another blow to the ghost town of Trotwood and the city of Dayton.

Greyhound Bus Lines is leaving the Northwest Transit Center in Trotwood. The cross-country bus service will come to an end in Dayton soon.

The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority which owns the transit center has announced the bus company couldn't come to agreement with Greyhound.

The final drop off for Greyhound in Dayton will be on September 30th.

Greyhound has not announced where a new location will be. However, it's unfortunate that Trotwood lose the revenue.

Yesterday, Trotwood became a food desert. Food Town decided to close the Trotwood and Tipp City location. The Trotwood location officially closed on Sunday.

The Northwest Transit Center is located in Trotwood. It's one of the five transit centers operated by the RTA bus services.

The company had to cut back routes, expand times to compensated for lost revenue the state pulled.

Last year, RTA managed to eliminate trips to Brookville, Farmersville, New Lebanon and parts of Miamisburg. They outsourced their transit rides to Lyft.

The Junk Food Media Glorifies The "Eagle Scout" Drug Lord!

The All-American drug lord. Utah man gets a federal sandwich.

The junk food media makes this white drug lord a saint.

The junk food media seem to overlook the criminality of corrupt pharmaceutical corporations and business executives. They should be treated like people of color being charged with drug crimes.

Alas, many companies that push out drugs and bio-hazards are often slapped on the wrist. If these folks were Black, Hispanic, Muslim or poor, the law would lock their asses up for LIFE.

Nonetheless, this is Amerikkka.

Donald J. Trump is a symptom. He is a part of a longstanding problem.

White privilege and white justice has been going on for decades. It's starting to become more clearer that if you're not an elite white business executive or a well-off white kid, you're going to head to the iron college for criminality.

Aaron Shamo is in federal custody after the feds broke down his door and seized nearly $1.5 million in his dresser and safe. He was harboring the boy, the hard, the Oxy, the lace and the ice.

Boy is slang for heroin.
Hard is slang for crack
Oxy is slang for Oxcodone
Lace is slang for heroin laced with fentanyl.
Ice is slang for methamphetamine.

The suspect is being held in Utah county lock up waiting for a federal trial. He is considered a danger to the community and flight risk if given a "get out free card."

The junk food media  wants to give this unrepentant criminal the benefit of the doubt. After all he was a standout in school. He was an Eagle Scout. He was a fan of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Tim Cook.

The clean cut suburban man who sold dope to the masses.

He was a typical American who was part of the Church of Jesus Chris and Latter-day Saints. He would soon leave the Morons and join the cult of Mary Jane.

He went to boarding school and took awesome photos with his friends and girlfriend.

Folks in the junk food media want to give this drug lord a backstory. They say he's a 29-year old college dropout, clean cut, all-American who took the wrong path. After all he worked for eBay and had a decent life.

Remember Sarah Furay, the adorable drug lord.

No he didn't take a wrong path. He chose to sell the narco. He made himself a million off the misfortune of folks. He didn't care whether people lived or died.

After all the junk food media told tales of him being in designer jeans. He owned a BMW. He was looking for land in Puerto Rico. He and his girlfriend took trips to Las Vegas, the European Union and Aspen, Colorado. They had champagne on a cruise ship. He even asked his parents to hold $500,000 in a duffel bag.

Why should anyone give him any benefit of doubt?

If he wasn't caught by the feds, he would be out there selling more, concealing his identity, buying him a plane ticket to a country that won't extradite him to the United States. He would have live the life of El Chapo only he's a white guy who is clean cut.

No one says this about Black or Hispanic individuals who are caught with drugs. It's often the negative stories and the assumption of "guilt before innocence."

Reminds me of Sarah Furay, the "adorable" drug kingpin. The junk food media was going "gaga" over this criminal. They said she had "model" potential. Kind of like Jeremy Meeks, huh!

As of today, I haven't heard anything much out of this case other than she's not in federal time out.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Felicity Huffman Gets 14 Days In Federal Time Out!

Felicity Huffamn became a poster child of white privilege.

The federal judge sends disgraced actress Felicity Huffman to federal time out for a measly 14 days.

White justice folks.

As she is being sentenced to federal time out, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted against her said something that many in the Black community wanted to say.

"If a single mom from Akron who is actually trying to provide a better education for her kids should go to jail, there is no reason that a wealthy mother with the resources should not also go to jail," Eric Rosen said to U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani at the Friday sentencing.

Rosen also told the judge that the court-order community service was not an appropriate sentence for Huffman because it was not a punishment.

Rosen was referring to Kelley Williams-Bolar, an African American single mother from Ohio who was convicted of two felony crimes in January 2011 and jailed for nine days after she falsified documents so she could enroll her children into a higher-performing school district.

She was found guilty of records tampering. Former Ohio governor John Kasich commuted her sentence and reduced the convictions to misdemeanors.

Tanya McDowell was an unemployed and homeless woman from Bridgeport. She was accused of stealing $15,000 the cost of her son's school from the Norwalk School District.

The rich can buy a way out of the iron college.

Her son was kicked out of the school and she was charged with criminal intent. She spent five years in the iron college for this. She was close to getting 15 years in the iron college but was spared.

Huffman will head to the federal time out in October. She is ordered to pay $30,000 in fines and do at least 250 hours of community service..

Huffman comes right after Brooke Skyler Richardson. The Ohio woman was found not guilty of burying her newborn shortly after giving birth. The junk food media kept referring this woman as a "high school cheerleader" and glorified her profile.

This was another travesty of justice.

People of color are sentenced to the iron college for lengthy bids because of their backgrounds and the junk food media vilifies them. The court of public opinion is "guilty before proven innocence."

Many people of color call this an example of white privilege and white justice.

Somebody Please Get These Motherf**king Kids!

One year ago, a teen was served a knuckle style chili in a Texas mall. The two assholes who attacked him are finally sentenced for the attack.

BE WARNED THERE IS GRAPHIC IMAGES AND VIDEO.

A year ago, two Texas men were facing felonious assault after a brutal fight was captured on film.

These two men served a teenager a healthy serving of knuckle style chili with toe jam jelly.

Movie Theater Fight Club HMU for Addy 🥊pic.twitter.com/qjox9YfPdj

— DMOE🎒 (@Chiraqology) September 11, 2019

The suspects were arrested and charged with aggravated assault. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court in law. The charges could put the two into the iron college for up to five years in the state of Texas. Mind you that one has a history so that could be ten years if convicted.



This happened at the Stonebriar Centre, a mall in Frisco, a city in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

The victim Josh Johnson told the junk food media, that the actions of these two were ignorant and unredeemable. He doesn't even want any apologies from the two, just them locked up for a long time.

"It was just horrible. How do you do a person like that?" said Johnson.

Again, folks are standing around recording this and posting this crap on social media instead of dialing 9-1-1 or at least trying to stop the two individuals from stomping the victim's head.

Josh and his friend J.J. Baldridge were at a movie theater. A man complained about the noise and threatened violence against those making the noise. Of course, someone singled out Josh.

As the movie ended, Josh was sucker punched in the back of his head. He was knocked unconscious.

During the filming others tried to intervene and stop the violence. The two decided to serve a healthy portion of toe jam jelly on the face of the victim.

The two assholes who attacked a teen inside a mall are going to get some time to think.

J.J. tried to defend Josh only for him to get shoved to the ground and served as well. As the two were laying unconscious, social media quickly picked up the video and it went viral.

It also got the attention of the Frisco Police. They saw the video and were pretty annoyed at the folks who were doing nothing while these young men get beaten nearly to death.

The two men were caught and charged with criminal acts. One of these individuals was on probation for a previous encounter.

Matter of fact, one of the suspects refuses to apologize. Fine. Hopefully, someone will find the nerve to apologize to you when you're caught off guard by someone. They hit you in the head and knock your ass to the ground.

Given we're living in a country where gun violence is the normal, the victim (or his family) could have retaliated and killed those two and all the people around him.

Mixed-ish!

Kenya Barris final installment to Black-ish is Mixed-ish.

The prequel to Black-ish (black-ish).

The hit sitcom featuring Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne is entering its sixth season. Its spin-off, Grown-ish (grown-ish) is heading into its third season on Freeform.

Now the creator Kenya Barris is branching off Rainbow Johnson's life. The show is executive produced by Barris, Anderson, Ross and Fishburne.

Mariah Carey confirmed that she has co-written and co-produced (with songwriter/producer Daniel Moore) a song called "In the Mix." Carey will perform the single.

Carey may appear in some episodes in the near future.

It features Tika Sumpter, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Gary Cole, Christina Anthony, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Ethan Willaim Childress and Arica Himmel as "Bow" Johnson as a child.

The show was produced for Netflix. But ABC managed to arm twist Barris into doing one more show before he was exiting ABC Studios. Barris was frustrated with the network cancelling or postponing episodes they deem too controversial. Some of the notable episodes involved Donald J. Trump, Black Lives Matter, firearms and abortion.

The show deals with Bow's life in the 1980s with a white father and black mother.

Mixed-ish will focus on the Rainbow Johnson's life as a biracial teenager.

The show is a recount of the experiences of growing up in a mixed-race family in the 1980s and the constant dilemmas Bow and her family faces. It deals with Bow trying to accept her hippie mother and father's life in suburbia.

It also gives her a challenge entering a school where acceptance is not what she was expecting.

The show is supposed to premiere on September 24. It will run on Tuesday along with Black-ish.

By the way, Tracee Ellis Ross has reunited with her former co-stars of Girlfriends.

The four were the stars of the UPN/CW sitcom Girlfriends which was a successful African American sitcom. It also became the launching pad for The Game which featured Tia Mowry-Hardrict.

Why do trolls love to come to Black blogs?

In one of our previous postings, I covered the 9/11 survivor who had deliberately used the tragedy to take a pot shot at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

This asshole named Nicholas Haros, Jr. went to the 9/11 memorial wearing this shirt called "Some People Did Something." It was a dig at Omar when she spoke at the Council of American Islamic Relations conference in Los Angeles. She was addressing American phobias of Muslims. She said that many Muslims were losing their civil liberties at the time because of "[al Qeada] doing something."

Haros is already making the rounds on far-white platforms. He is trying to exploit this for political gains. He never met her and never understood the reasons why she spoke about "some people did something."

She condemned the attacks like most Americans. But to the far-white and these trolls, anything said by her and Tlaib is regarded as anti-American. The continue to use baseless and moronic claims without factual evidence.

This how the far-white operates. They demonize difference of opinion. Take quotes and remarks out of context. Then of course, they wants ridicule those who disagree with them.

These women were known as The Squad and they are vilified by Trump and folks like this troll.

Here we go again with the word vomit.

So grab a magnifying glass and a highlighter.

Racist? Nothing the man said was in any way racist, so why is this man "racist"? Because he, and millions of other Americans were extremely offended over Congresswoman Omar's complete disrespect for the victims of that horrible day? Since when did it become "racist" to disagree with a democrat? Islam is not a race, if anything the man would be islamophobic, not racist. Do you know the man's race or are you just assuming what race he is, because that would be racist. See, your labeling people racist based on their race rather than their actions is a true example of racism. Congresswoman Omar's comments were very insulting to everyone who lost loved ones on 9/11 despite the victims race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, hair color, or political views. Your hate for anyone with different views is disgusting, your hate for white people is the very definition of racism. Your ignorance can only be topped by your complete hypocrisy. You are nothing more than a hateful racist left-wing crybaby who cannot accept the fact that your tantrums do not change who YOUR President is, and will be until 2024!

I cannot wait to watch the liberal meltdown 2.0, the 2016 liberal tantrum will be proven to be nothing more than a drop in the bucket when history looks back upon the meltdown of 2020. Just a little fyi, the democrat party is, always was, and will always be the party of racism and sexism. Democrats have destroyed countless lives, their policies keep poor minorities poor, Obama's policies actually increased the number of African American citizens living in poverty. President Trump in less than 2 years has actually reversed the destruction to the African American population created by Obama. A little fact about slavery, muslim nations are the only nations on Earth today where slavery is still acceptable. Here's another, the very first slave owner in "the new word" was a black tobacco farmer. The last slave owners in the US were the native American tribes who finally stopped owning slaves well into the 1930's..they owned people of all races. The US was the first country to ban/end slavery, the first country to give men of all races equal rights, the first nation to give women equal rights...no thanks to do the democrat party, they actually fought to keep slavery, fought giving equal rights, created the kkk to terrorize black citizens from voting, they fought against women getting rights, they fought against the civil rights movement of the 60's. Dr. Martin L. King was a proud registered Republican. You're labeling the wrong political party as racist, democrats are and have always been the party of hate. Liberals hate everyone who disagrees with them, liberals wish death upon those with opposing views, liberalism IS a scientifically proven mental disorder.

Poor choice of a word: "coonservatives".

Trump won nearly 10% of the Black vote. A strong showing for a Republican. Many of these coonservatives are either showing out or fading out of existence.

Are you kidding me? You, are the racist my friend. Your true ignorance speaks volumes by your words. Go educate yourself, pull your head out of the political toilet and be a caring, compassionate and empathetic person for a moment, if you can. That Congressperson deserved those comments 1,000,000%. Her race, her color, her gender, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORDS THAT PARSED HER LIPS. She is a public figure who opened her mouth and now has to deal with those whom she offended, REGARDLESS of their political affiliation, age, sex, race, creed. SHE is an antisemitic person who sympathizes and supports unsavory radical groups and ADVOCATES such, in OUR halls of Congress? Wake up wallflower, stop trying to twist the truth to fit your narrative. And please, stop living on social media and do some real research because this, why you posted, is nothing more than toilet paper. It is certainly not journalism or reporting (and freedom of the press forever? LMFAO, what press?). This is merely YOUR biased hatred filled opinion. And you know what they say about opinions right? They're like assholes, everyone has one and they all STINK. So, STFU, grab your comfort animal, and go back to streaming the Cover-up News Network, MSLSD..or jump to your favorite "not"newspaper The New York Slimes or Washington Compost..or better yet, keep trolling Fox News (you might actually learn something). But for now, silly person...TAKE OFF EH! Pretty anti-American of ya.

So I want to make this clear. I didn't read your comments because you're anonymous.

So I can't respond back with a usual fashion. I'm just going to leave this response in regards to those who read Journal de la Reyna.

Thank you for once again reading our blog. We offer you an opportunity to respond to our postings.

Far-white extremists would often troll Black blogs and social media to throw inappropriate discussions about people of color. They would use racial slurs, coded language and concern trolling as an excuse to justify their hatred.

Sigh.

Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are vilified by white bigots. They are outspoken critics of Trump, Israel and police brutality. They are Muslim American lawmakers who aren't afraid to speak truth to power.

Me and LeReyna are awake. We don't need your wake up calls! We ain't in the business of being awoken to an ongoing issue in the community of color. If we're conveniently leaving out something, it's the fact you've left out your fucking compassion for human beings.

If you have an opportunity to strain your eyes, I want you to understand the grievances of concern trolls.

As usual the concern troll blames the victim. Hey, no one is perfect. No one can live in a glass house without a stone being thrown at it.

I am not planning on going anywhere. I am grateful to LeReyna and will continue to help make her blog grow and succeed. Whether we gain support or criticism, we appreciate the good readers who view our blog.

THIS IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN ISSUES BLOG. AS EXPECTED, WE WILL EXPECT COMMENTS FROM TROLLS.  THESE TROLLS OFTEN FIND OUR BLOGS TO SOW DISCOURSE AND RACIAL ANGST. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LOSERS WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR PATHETIC LIVES. 

This country is more polarized, less religious, less educated, less motivated, highly overweight, and bloodthirsty. We hide behind platitudes and run on narratives about who's more right than factual.

We are driven to discourse by the junk food media and social media. I cannot stop it. I am not in the business to stop it. However, I do have control over how I read things on this blog. I have semi-control over what is posted on this blog. I am not planning on changing my views on Trump no time soon.

Do us a favor. Ignore the trolls. Don't feed them. Use them as an example to keep pushing harder for change. Use these trolls as an opportunity to move the discussion forward.

Continue to read at your own peril.

We will not stop.

We will not be moved.

We will fight for the rights of people of color.

We will hold Donald J. Trump, Congress, bad cops and those associated to them accountable.

We will not waste our time worrying about you or those who think like you.

We all have lives outside the blog. Why don't you move past our blog and find a blog that supports your views?

Fuck your trolling.

Eddie Money Passed Away!

Eddie Money passed away after a fight with cancer.

I remember Eddie Money was supposed to appear at the Freedom Tattoo concert at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Bad weather kind of messed up the concert. Also he was supposed to be a headliner at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights.

The legendary entertainer passed away today after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer. The singer and actor had Stage IV cancer and died of heart complications.

Best known for his hits, Two Tickets to Paradise, Baby Hold On and Take Me Home Tonight, Eddie Money was the greatest rock icon of the 1980s.

Born Eddie Mahoney, this native of Long Island started his career from modest upbrings. Before he wanted to be a rocker, he was an officer with the New York Police Department. After a few years of working with the NYPD, he pursued a music career.

He left New York to move to Berekley, California. He would be performing in local bars before he found a record deal with Columbia Records.

Money had 12 albums under his belt.

Money was a life long smoker. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2015. He managed to fight it until the very end. He leaves behind his wife of many years, Laurie and five children.

An icon of music is gone but his music lives on.

Black 💰💰💰💰💰 Matters!

DeRay McKesson is calling Shaun King a bullshit artist. He slams the former Black Lives Matter leader for making a profit off the pain of people of color.

A longstanding feud between two prominent faces of the Black Lives Matter movement gotten uglier.

Shaun King and DeRay McKesson aren't talking anymore. The two had a huge fallout in 2015 and both continue to call each other a "fraud."

I wrote about Shaun King in an effort to bring clarity to a set of issues that continue to be a topic of conversation re: fundraising, organizing, & activism.

I rarely engage in these discussions publicly, but felt compelled given the observed pattern.https://t.co/FlTJOcMF86

Today, McKesson shared his thoughts on King on his Medium posting. He said that the movement is still a grassroots organization. He did say that those who promote it are profiting off the rage of people of color.

McKesson wrote back in 2015 that King had blocked him on social media after he called him out on the handling of funds with King's organization Justice Together.

"Johnetta Elzie and I were in a previous public disagreement with Shaun [King] about issues of transparency and ethic that ended in his apology. [He] deleted all of his tweets and noted that he would focus on journalism and would not engage in attempted organizing or fundraising. Importantly, he made this commitment to others both publicly and privately. It is clear now that he did not keep those commitments and after a brief hiatus, re-emerged and began engaging in the same behaviors that cause the last public conflict."

McKesson said that King was ruthless and vindictive. He said that he was invited to join the board of Justice Together in 2015. He was glad to get on board. McKesson said that one time King was a devoted member of ending police violence against people of color. McKesson and Elzie were cautious about being labeled towards fundraising given that Black Lives Matter was toxic to the far-white agitators of Fox News. They would use that as an opportunity to claim that Black Lives Matter was all in for the mighty dollar.

The two got into a heated confrontation with King which ended with him kicking them off the board and blocking them on social media. McKesson asked King how was he earning all this money. King dismissed him and the concerns.

McKesson left this ominous word play.

"The person who paints your house before he steals your car has still committed theft."

Wow, that's harsh.

It's an interesting read. Take a look into it.

Krystal Ball: Rush Limbaugh Always Been A Pervert!

The Hill's Krystal Ball hits back a sexist remark from Rush Limbaugh.

Krystal Ball claps back at that old fart who helm the AM dials for years.

So I have some sort of weird personal/public news. The other day on his show, Rush Limbaugh went on at length about how I posed nude when I was 14 or 15 (I did not.) I've been thinking for a few days about how to deal with this. Partly I didn't really want to call more attention.

— Krystal Ball (@krystalball) September 12, 2019

Maybe just ignore it and move on. But the reality is, his show has millions of listeners and the transcript is readily available online. I didn't want this slut-shaming smear just hanging out there. I'm also lucky enough to have a platform to set the record straight.

— Krystal Ball (@krystalball) September 12, 2019

But maybe the next person who get's smeared will not. I didn't want him to think he could just slime anyone with impunity. Most importantly though, if I did "pose nude" at 14, so fucking what? Should women be barred from public service because they have bodies and sexuality?

— Krystal Ball (@krystalball) September 12, 2019

Limbaugh doesn't get to be the morality police and I won't stand by when slut-shaming is being used to undermine yet another woman, even when that woman is me. Here are his full comments and my full response. Also for the record @esaagar is the greatest. https://t.co/uV3jU9MjDu

The former MSNBC contributor who now works for The Hill speaks out against Rush Limbaugh after the old fart made a sexist remark about her.

Gas bag continues to attack women.

She went off on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for making a number of false accusations about her, including claiming she posed nude as a teenager.

Ball, a former MSNBC host and current anchor of Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, recounted Limbaugh's comments on a show segment and in an accompanying thread.

"I didn't want him to think he could just slime anyone with impunity. Most importantly though, if I did 'pose nude' at 14, so fucking what?" she said.

It's disgusting what Rush said about @krystalball. She's well within her rights to sue him. She gives her full response here and I'm with her 100% -> https://t.co/ko9BvOhHj5

Ball also noted that Limbaugh claimed she won her election, which she did not. The leak came during her campaign for Congress in Virginia.

Limbaugh also accused her of posting the photos on "Facebook or MySpace or you know, MyButt." Ball noted that Facebook did not exist when she was a teenager.

Enjeti recommended that she should pursue legal action against Limbaugh. "You should be fully within your rights to go after him," he said.
