Williams delivered a passionate speech about how the junk food media reacts towards Black America. He addressed the recent high profile police incident that killed unarmed Black citizens.

He also singles out the situations at the Cincinnati Zoo and Walt Disney World as an example to how the junk food media reacts towards it.

Peace peace. Thank you, Debra. Thank you, BET. Thank you Nate Parker, Harry and Debbie Allen for participating in that.

Before we get into it, I just want to say I brought my parents out tonight. I just want to thank them for being here, for teaching me to focus on comprehension over career, and that they make sure I learn what the schools were afraid to teach us. And also thank my amazing wife for changing my life. 

Now this award - this is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country. The activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students, that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. It's kind of basic mathematics, the more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize. Now this is also in particular for the black women, in particular, who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and will do better for you. 

Now what we've been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day. So what's going to happen is we are going to have equal rights and justice in our own country or we will restructure their function and ours.

Yesterday would’ve been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday, so I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12-year-old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television then going home to make a sandwich. Tell Rekia Boyd how it’s so much better to live in 2012 than 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Darrien Hunt.

Now the thing is though, all of us in here getting money, that alone isn’t going to stop this. Now dedicating our lives to get money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body, when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies and now we pray to get paid for brands on our bodies.

There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven't done, there's been no tax they haven't levied against us, and we've paid all of them. But freedom is somehow always conditional here, 'You’re free,’ they keep telling us, ‘But she would’ve been alive if she hadn’t acted so… free'.

Freedom is always coming in the hereafter, but, you know what though, the hereafter is a hustle. And let's get a couple of things straight, just a little sidenote, the burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That's not our job, stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interest in equal rights for black people than do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down.

We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, and we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil, black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit. The thing is, just because we’re magic, doesn’t mean we’re not real.

Thank you.

This passionate speech has went viral and it's expected that conservatives will laud the speech as "anti-cop", "racist" or "anti-White". And the concern trolls will say that Black leaders don't care about violence in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, etc.

Justin Timberlake caught some flack after being touched by Williams' speech.

Timberlake posted on social media to praise Williams. It kind of backfired.

@iJesseWilliams tho...#Inspired #BET2016

He got some serious flack from fans and critics for not understanding that he is part of the problem.

He responded back to his critics.

Oh, you sweet soul. The more you realize that we are the same, the more we can have a conversation.

Bye. https://t.co/FeTmGLOKVc

— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) June 27, 2016

He soon would apologize for his choice of words.

I apologize to anyone that felt I was out of turn. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF US.

This speech has gotten so much attention I bet you money, some agitator will mention it.

Watch the video.

BREAKING: SCOTUS Knocks Down Texas Anti-Abortion Law!

The Supreme Court rules in Texas anti-abortion law. 

The Supreme Court struck down the anti-abortion law that the state of Texas passed in 2013. The 5-3 decision was a blow to conservatives. This decision eliminates a state's attempt to pass restrictive laws to curb a woman's right to choice.  This is the biggest ruling since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

The Texas statute was to close up a handful of abortion clinics in the state. The Court ruled it unconstitutional.

The Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt is the most significant ruling for pro-choice activists. If the ruling went the other way, states would impose stricter laws preventing abortion.

Texas insisted that the HB 2 law was constitutional. Ruth Bader Ginsburg questioned the state's law.

She wondered how this bill would help women who wanted a safe term. Texas was mandating that abortion clinics undergo costly upgrades to look like hospitals and abortion providers must get "special privileges" at hospitals. It was a backdoor plot to eliminate abortion clinics.

Stephen Breyer wrote in his decision that "the surgical-center requirement, like the admitting privileges requirement, provides few, if any, health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions and constitutes an 'undue burden' on their constitutional right to do so".

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott wasn't pleased about this decision. Lila Rose and her allies in the anti-choice movement were hoping to gain momentum.

The Center for Medical Progress was partly involved in this as well. The ringleader of the anti-choice group tried to infiltrate Planned Parenthood facilities to expose executives taking pride in terming live fetuses.

Former state lawmaker Wendy Davis got some vindication. She fought this all the way to the Court.

Her failed bid for governor was a downer but to watch Abbott fail at his job is probably the sweetest revenge she's gotten so far today.

Anthony Kennedy joins Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor in the decision to spare abortion rights.

Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented the decision.

This polarizing decision comes a week after the Court struck down President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration. Conservatives were happy Obama was handed a defeat. Now this decision will have conservatives concerned.

With an evenly split court, most of the rulings conservatives supported could be at risk of being tossed out or stuck down. Republicans continue to delay the nomination of Merrick Garland.

They believe that Obama's pick could swing the Court in a progressive direction. It's too late.

Truly, this was a blow to conservatives and the anti-choice movement.

Women have a right to choice. Although I am no fan of termination, I do support a woman's right to do so. It's a freedom that helps protect a woman's health.

Would you allow a woman to carry a rapist's baby?

Would you allow a woman to die if the baby was causing her health to decline?

An unwanted pregnancy is a dangerous experience for women. If the Court was to deny women a right to choice, the black market abortion providers would be on the rise.

Sanford Mayor Got Jacked! Guess Who They Blame!

Sanford mayor was a victim of a car jacking.

Sanford mayor Jeff Triplett was on his way out when two men who jacked him for his whip.

Triplett was standing outside in the early morning hours when three men approached him. They pointed a gun at him and ordered him to give up his car keys, phone and wallet.

They ended up taking advantage of the nice Mercedes, the mayor was riding in.

The law quickly got a hold of 18 year old Jermaine Home and Demarcus Paige, a 17 year old teen.

The third suspect hasn't been caught by the law but it will likely be soon.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty. They will face aggravated robbery, a charge that could land these men in the iron college for LIFE. They also could be facing 15 year bid for having weapons in the pursuit of a violent crime.

Now this happened in the city where George Zimmerman managed to get away with murder.

Zimmerman was following Trayvon Martin in a residential neighborhood when Zimmerman got out of his vehicle. Zimmerman claimed that Trayvon ground and pounded him. He said it was "self defense on the rules of Stand Your Ground". Zimmerman shot Trayvon in the chest killing him instantly.

Zimmerman getting off sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.

To this day, Zimmerman has no apologies. He continues to terrorize Florida.

So here's a poll for you!

Sanford mayor was car-jacked. Suspects were caught. Who takes the blame?

Barack Obama

Trayvon Martin

George Zimmerman

Liberals

Conservatives

#BlackLIvesMatter

Muslims

NRA

The Suspect (s)

Quiz Maker

So I am guessing either you're blaming President Barack Obama, Trayvon Martin, #BlackLivesMatter or liberals for the actions of these individuals.

50 Cent Saw Bars After He Rapped Bars!

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson was busted in St. Kitts and Nevis for being himself. The media mogul was cursing in the island nation. It's illegal to cuss in the country.

50 Cent needs to get a travel pamphlet when he travels outside the United States. He certainly has no clue about the laws in foreign nations. He's lucky he's not in Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates or North Korea with the blow. 

The rapper would be flogged or shot by state executioners. 

50 Cent was reportedly arrested in the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. 

He dropped "M-fer" on the stage after performing his greatest hits. According to TMZ, Curtis "Money Blowing" Jackson was warned not to use profanity in the nation. He was told by the custom agents. 

While in the nation, he performed around 40,000 people. When the DJ told 50 that he couldn't use the vulgar version of his songs, he said "fuck it". Then when onstage he uttered the word and it got him a night in lockup and a hefty U.S. fine. He sung his hit song, P.I.M.P.

He was booked and spent a night in the lockup. He will appear in court on the charge and be forced to spend a little of his earnings from the concert. 

50 had to lose his passport and travel documents. They want his ass in the courtroom. 

One of 50's roadies was also arrested after he shouted at the law and called them a bunch of....well he's got to lose his travel documents as well. 

50 Cent is innocent until proven guilty. I don't know the laws in St. Kitts and Nevis, but I am guessing it's going to be at least a year in the iron college.

Protesters Tangles With White Extremists In Sac Town!

Protesters shut down White extremist rally.

The Sacramento Police earned that overtime pay. There was a riot in California's state capital. A group of White extremists were trying to rile up the diverse city with a recruitment forum.

It seems like the protesters managed to "shut it down".

The white extremists were ready for a fight and they brought their pocket knives and started to slice.

About 10 people were injured. Two ended up with a

Around the noon, the baldies dressed in black came to the state grounds to denounce immigration, Blacks, Muslims and liberalism.

This group who I will not acknowledge teamed up with a local baldy group to conduct this rally.

They wanted to Make WHITE America Great Again! The extremists were cheering the Brexit results.

The law witness one of these extremists stab a counter protester in the neck.

Hate on the rise in the U.S.

This asshole who I've mentioned on this blog was there in attendance. He was the guy who was in Kentucky screaming in the ear of a Black woman and then he shoved her.

He's the professional bigot. He uses his internet savvy and charm to recruit extremists to his organization.

The rise of Donald Trump has gotten White extremists inspired. Groups were angling around 1,000.

Now it's probably running about 1,230 active hate groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center has noticed this spike.

Conservative agitators bemoan about President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, liberalism, illegal immigration and "radical Islam". Their loyal base of sponges are soaking this shit up. They blow the dog whistle with this nonsense about "taking the country back" and Obama giving "free" to......

White extremists are more bold about their views. They don't dog whistle their hatred of Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, Muslims, Jews and those in the LGBT community.

GOP Gov. Paul LaPage's Wife Side Works At A Seafood Shack!

Maine's First Lady serving food at a local dinner.

The Maine governor's wife serving at a restaurant during the summer. The governor Paul LePage is a divisive Republican to ever hold office. He is extremely controversial.

He hides behind his Black son while taking shots at the Black community.

LePage was in the junk food media recently blaming the heroin crisis on "D-Boy" knocking up White chicks in his state.

He believes that Black thugs are trafficking the narco into his 98% White state of Maine.

Maine the northernmost state in New England. It borders New Hampshire and Canada's French provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick. Maine is just as remote.

He hoping to pass state laws requiring low income residents to have drug testing before they acquire any assistance from the state's safety net.

The Maine governor’s salary is the lowest in the United States at $70,000 a year and Maine first lady Ann LePage said she is working at a seafood restaurant in Boothbay Harbor to put aside a little cash to buy a car.

Paul LePage the Republican governor of Maine with his wife Ann.

“Oh honey, it’s all about the money,” she told local TV broadcaster WGME this week. On her Facebook page, she wrote on Monday: “Having a great time. Great food, great view, and great service!”

LePage, 58, who sports a T-shirt, jeans and an apron at work, said customers are often taken aback when they see her at the restaurant.

“People expect something different of you because of whom I am married to, the governor,” she told a customer in comments played by the broadcaster.

At a town hall event this month, Governor Paul LePage mentioned his wife’s job, saying she was following in the footsteps of their daughter who made about $28 an hour last year as a food server.

“She (my daughter) did so well that, my wife, the first lady, is waitressing this summer,” he said in a video played by the TV station. The governor’s office was not immediately available for comment.

The Republican governor has faced criticism for comments such as saying out-of-state drug dealers were coming to Maine and impregnating “white girls.” Critics called the comments racist, while LePage told reporters he had misspoken.

George Will Divorces The GOP!

Right wing asshat George Will quits the GOP. He says that Trump's nomination is the final straw.

Fox News pundit George Will has had it up to here with Donald Trump and the acolytes.

The controversial conservative pundit says that the Republican Party is gone off the rails.

Will who works for the right wing network also writes for The Washington Post is no stranger to controversy. He was banned from many speaking events after he said some pretty ignorant stuff about women in his books.

"This is not my party," he told the audience at the Federalist Society in Washington, DC.

Will says that he will become an independent. He switched from Republican to unaffiliated long before he lit into the Republican Party.

"I just know who I won't be voting for," he said.

Trump says that his critics are the reasons to why he's winning.

Will is no fan of Trump. He is a part of this #NEVERTRUMP movement. He said that the Republicans must stop Trump before he makes it to the White House.

Trump said that Will is a "major loser."

Mary Matalin, who is married to Clinton-supporting James Carville said that she's leaving the Republican Party as well. She changed her affiliation to Libertarian after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) got blown out in Indiana.

She is not a fan of Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton. She said that Clinton presidency with a Republican congress is far better than a Trump presidency with a Republican rubber stamp Congress.
