Words To Michael Clarke Duncan!
Le Reyna posted the tragic news of actor Michael Clarke Duncan passing away today. I just found out about it and I want to share a few words about the famed celebrity.Standing at 6'5" over 300 lbs, the former bodyguard is best known for his Oscar nominated role as John Coffey in the movie The Green Mile.
He participated in movies and television programs such as the Will Ferrell movie Tallageda Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, King of The Hill, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Friday, and Sin City.
To hear about his passing has completely shocked me. I was alerted by my friend and her link to the celebrity news agitation website TMZ.
Many in Hollywood and abroad have send their condolences to the lovable giant.
Publicist Joy Fehily released a statement from Clarke's fiancée, reality television star, Omarosa Manigault, saying the 54-year-old actor died Monday morning in a Los Angeles hospital after nearly two months of treatment following the July 13 heart attack.
The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Duncan appeared in dozens of films, including such box office hits as "Armageddon," "Planet of the Apes" and "Kung Fu Panda,"
Duncan had a handful of minor roles before "The Green Mile" brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family and many friends of Michael Clarke Duncan.
A Video Tour of the Food Desert that is Dayton, Ohio
An estimated 78,000 people in Montgomery County live in what would be considered a "food desert," locations where the availability of healthy and nutritious food options are severely limited. The Dayton Informer took its hidden cameras inside of three grocery stores on North Main Street to highlight what kind of choices residents in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods have compared to citizens in economically advantaged areas.
Are [Conservatives] Mad That Jay-Z Endorsed Barack Obama?
 |
| Shawn Carter, known as Jay-Z endorses President Barack Obama for reelection. Conservatives are screaming at the president and media mogul. Jay-Z released over 15 albums with controversial themes and Republicans demand the president disassociate from him. |
What's better than a legendary rapper and media mogul who is married to one of the world's best known pop singers?
Shawn Corey Carter, is professionally known as Jay-Z. From the streets of Brooklyn to the world stage, Carter became an international celebrity. He released albums depicting a tale of how he overcame the battles of struggling (by selling drugs) to become a media mogul who managed to bring in nearly a billion in revenue.
To top that he's married to pop singer Beyonce Knowles. The singer and Carter married privately and recently became the proud parents of a daughter.
President Obama appears at the Jay-Z "Made In America" concert in support of the rapper's newest venue: Encouraging concert goers to vote in the 2012 U.S. Election.
The Blaze, a conservative news agitating website founded by controversial talk radio host Glenn Beck is covering the story. Of course, expect the word salad of hate to come down the comment section.
Jay-Z is no stranger to conservative ire. In 2009, the rapper released his Blueprint 3 album in which he went after conservative agitators Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh for their outright disrespect of the president and hip-hop music in general.
"This ain't black versus white, my nigga, we off that. Please tell Bill O'Reilly to fall back. Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my balls. It's 2010 not 1864. Ah yeh we come so far ... Ah, how's that for a mix? Got a black president, got green presidents." - Jay-Z single Off That (featuring Drake and Timbaland).

| Fox News sister website The Fox Nation ran a controversial themed article comparing the president's birthday party at the White House, a "Hip-Hop BBQ," |
Fox News and its gossip site, The Fox Nation published a controversial themed title to dog whistle white voters into thinking the president is either a "criminal", "spending taxpayer funds on lavish parties" or "supporting 'radicals' like Jay-Z and Chris Rock".
Conservatives were upset that the president invited the rapper and Beyonce to the White House for a gathering of friends and supporters.
The president allies in the entertainment industry aren't spared from the wrath of conservative ire.
Rappers Common and Ludacris, film directors Michael Moore, Harvey Weinstein, comedian Louis C.K., actresses Hillary Swank, Eva Longoria, Sarah Jessica Parker, media mogul Ann Wintour, actors George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, and Samuel L. Jackson have been targets of conservative ire for supporting the president or his allies.
The Hill reports, Obama's video played after the first song in the 90-minute set, according to the Associated Press. During the video, he said Jay-Z's story is "what 'Made In America' means" and added that he has the popular performer's songs on his iPod.
Jay-Z, a long-time Obama supporter, told Rolling Stone back in May that he was planning to give Obama a call and ask him to perform at the concert, saying he hoped he could convince him to repeat his rendition of Al Green.
"He'll be so far into helping the world that he probably won't have time, but I'm absolutely going to ask him," Jay-Z said at the time.
The two-day festival benefited the United Way.
Jay-Z appears on Roc-A-Fella Records.

Racist: I'mma Sue Ya'll For Allowing A Black Man Bag My Groceries!
 |
| DeWitt Thomas is suing a grocer for a Civil Rights violation. |
Now again, we don't endorse hate among race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings. We believe in equal rights and respect of all race, creed and values. We are Americans first, everything else next! What makes our country the United States a great nation, is the power of the voice.
A decent society can drown out all the negativity created by an individual who harbors bigoted views towards their fellow American.
Although there's thousands of hate, we are millions of love and strength. They fear the unknown. They can't stomach the future where it's possible that the United States will become a minority majority. In other words, the Black, Hispanic and Asian American population will overlap the White race in thirty years.
As of May 2012, it was declared by the United States Census Bureau that non-white births grew at faster pace than those who are non-Hispanic White. In about fifty years, interracial marriage will overlap same sex and same race marriages.
Once again in the great state of Texas, a Big Sandy resident is suing a local grocery chain because he was banned from the store after he complained about sacker being a Black man. From the town of Hawkins, the man is claiming his civil rights and religious freedom were violated earlier this year when a black man sacked his groceries and a Big Sandy grocery store owner banned the customer from the business.
Longview News-Journal covers the controversy. This is one for the record books. The conservative white male claims he's a victim of reverse racism.
DeWitt R. Thomas filed a federal lawsuit in July against Keith Langston, owner of Two Rivers Grocery & Market.
According to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Tyler, Thomas entered the market on March 5 to buy food.

| Keith Langston the owner of the Two Rivers Grocery & Market is being sued by a local man. The local man was banned from the store after he made inflammatory comments about the store's Black grocery worker. |
Thomas claimed the cashier was “perplexed” by his request and yelled at him to take his items and leave.
In a telephone interview Wednesday, Thomas said, “It’s pretty simple. They treated me really bad because I told them it was against my creed.”
According to the lawsuit, Thomas went on to explain he meant a black person when he used the term “negroidal.”
The sacker, Aaron Menefee, said he thought Thomas was just kidding around.
“The first time he said it, I thought he was joking,” Menefee said. “Then he just kept repeating it.”

“I didn’t feel physically threatened,” Menefee said. “I just felt verbally assaulted.”
Langston wasn’t in the store at the time, but his employees told him about the incident.
“I decided when I heard about what happened that I was going to file a criminal trespass against him,” Langston said. “I just had to wait for him to be present so he could sign it.”
When Thomas returned two days later, he noticed the same black man would be sacking his groceries, so he again requested the “Negro” not handle his groceries, according to the lawsuit.
This time, Langston was there. He called police to serve Thomas a criminal trespass warning. While waiting for the police, an employee locked the doors, and the lawsuit claims Thomas was “unlawfully restrained.”
Thomas said Langston broke the law the night he locked him in the store.
“We were closing, and I don’t know of a business that doesn't lock their doors when they close. It keeps more people from coming in,” Langston said.
Thomas said he doesn’t understand why he had to deal with the same situation twice.
“My question is, why after I told them how I felt and that it was against my creed did this negroid try to impress himself upon me and try to handle my groceries again.” Thomas said.
Thomas said his religious beliefs are based on Vedism, which he said encompasses Hinduism.
“Vedism translates into knowledge. I am not this way because I am ignorant. Ignorance is the enemy,” he said.
Thomas said he has not broken any laws and was exercising his religious freedom and the rights he has been given.

| Sacker was called racial slurs by hostile customer. |
Thomas’ based his claim that his civil rights were violated on that criminal trespass order. He also said Langston is wrong for trying to tell him who can touch his groceries and refusing to serve him.
“When I go through (a store) and buy groceries, those groceries become my property,” Thomas said.
Langston said he is not trying to tell Thomas what to believe or how to live, but his store is a privately owned business.
“He was banned because he was using racial slurs, but he has turned it into a religious thing,” Langston said.
Langston said Thomas would have been allowed to come back had he said he preferred to sack his own groceries.
“We have a few people who want to sack their own groceries, but it’s not for the same reasons DeWitt gave,” Langston said. “They do it because they just like to have their stuff bagged a certain way, certain groceries in certain bags.”
Thomas said he is going forward with his complaint because Langston has no right to stand against what he believes in.
“If he wants to stand in opposition of who I am, then we are going to go forward with this here thing,” Thomas said.
Langston said he wants the whole thing to just go away, but insists Thomas will never be able to come back into his store. He said Thomas told him he would drop the complaint if he dropped the criminal trespass.
“I’ve had several people say they would’ve touched a hell of a lot more than his groceries if they had been in line behind him,” Langston said.
Once again, this is what the angry white male represents! The reactionary condescending bigot who has pure hatred of President Barack Obama, someone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings. These are the people who rather have Republican Mitt Romney, a serial flip-flopping perennial candidate as the President of The United States. They don't care about his moderate stances on most issues. As long as this candidate is White person, these people are satisfied with it.
