You Won't Hire Me Because I Have A "Ghetto" Name!

Hermeisha Robinson was sent a rejection letter from an employer. They claimed that her name is ghetto.
At first I thought this was an isolated incident. Hell no, there's more than one person. Count 20 women and men of color reject because they have names that aren't white like, Jason, Lisa, Christine, Linda, Mark, Dennis or Mary.

A Missouri woman was just one of the many who received rejection letters from the St. Louis Mantality Health Center.

The rejection letters stated, "Thank you for your interest in careers at Mantality Health. Unfortunately we do not consider candidates that have suggestive "ghetto" names. We wish the best in your career search."

Hermeisha Robinson and Dorneshia Zachery both got this rejection letter.

Robinson, who applied for a customer service position at the health center. She responded to a now viral posting on social media.



At least 20 women were rejected by this company.

"When I read the email I was just appalled. Hermeisha is just unique. It's from my mom and my father," said Robinson.

Zachery was in tears when she saw that emial.

"The company looked at my name and said, 'No we don't care about what you've done in life, your name is going to dismiss you completely," said Zachery.

The clinic director Jack Gamache claims the company's account was hacked and the law are investigating the situation. Gamache claims there's a disgruntled employee in the ranks.

Yeah, this exist. Discrimination based on a person's name and perceived race has been an issue.

If you don't have a white person or white sounding name, you might not get a phone call from an employer.

Welcome to Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka.

But this has been going on before Trump. However, this stuff has increased since that imbecile took control of the government. The Republican Party is very unpopular. Because of Trump, many believe racism has only gotten worse under him.

Discrimination in the workplace continues to exist.

Capitalism once again is afoot. The so-called "free enterprise" is making the rich, richer. The poor, poor and even more ignorant to the current situation they're facing.

Fox News Dissed Aretha Franklin And Patti LaBelle!

Bad Fox Graphics.
Fox News is America's most watched cable news network. It is considered the country's most controversial television network. It promotes a far-right extremist agenda. Most of the commentators on the network are either sycophants of Donald J. Trump or a propaganda to Republicans.

Here's the latest nonsense coming from Fox News.

In the death of Aretha Franklin, the network ran a graphic showing Patti LaBelle in the background.

The Diss RESPECT.




Fox News would soon apologize for this error.

We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends. Our intention was to honor the icon using a secondary image of her performing with Patti LaBelle in the full-screen graphic, but the image of Ms. Franklin was obscured in that process, which we deeply regret.

Sigh.....When will progressives start boycotting this network?

Kofi Annan Passed Away!

Kofi Annan passed away. The former UN Secretary General lived in Switzerland at the time of his death.
The former United Nations Secretary General passed away. The first person of color to lead the world organization for two terms passed away peacefully in his Switzerland home at the age of 80.

Kofi Annan was of Ghanaian blood and noted as the first African man to represent the world.

Annan and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize. He was the founder of the Kofi Annan Foundations and was chairman of The Elders, a foundation founded by the late Nelson Mandela.

Born in Kumasi, Ghana, Annan went on to study economics at Macalester College, international relations at the Graduate Institute Geneva and management at MIT.

Annan joined the UN at a young age and went on to work for the peacekeeping between 1992 and 1996. He would be confirmed by the General Assembly in 1997.

Annan was devoted to combating HIV, peacekeeping in Syria, poverty and civil rights.

Annan was dogged by the far-right (especially Fox News) for the Oil-for-Food Program. The right wing network was attacking Annon. The program was established to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine and other humanitarian needs for Iraqis.

The program caused scandal after Fox News instigated allegations that Annon and his allies were using the funds for their personal uses. This was egged on by George W. Bush in his attempts to get allies to engage battle with Iraq.

Annon was a great leader. He volunteered his life to community service. He wanted to make awareness of genocide in the world.

White Extremist's Empire Tumbled After He Slept With His Mother-In-Law!

White extremist goes down in flames.
The white extremist who created the (White) Traditionalist Workers Party and the White Student Union went dark after he strangled an ally.

The foolish Matt Heimbach. The suit and tie version of David Duke is no longer a voice in the movement. He did what most white extremists do when they're not on camera. They end up raping women and children.

The white extremist did not show up to the United The Right 2, the anniversary of the infamous Charlottesville riot which led to the death of Heather Heyer. The far right rally only managed to have 30 people and hundreds of counter protesters. Jason Kessler, the founder of the white extremist rally was shuffled out Washington, DC after a hour of ranting. More on him later.

Heimbach was infamous for starting white extremism on college campuses which usually lead to fights with counter protesters.

He was also the guy who attacked a Black woman at a Trump rally in Louisville. He was charged for aggravated assault. He was ordered to serve nearly a year in the lockup. The charges were reduced. He was ordered to get anger management, have no contact with the victim and stay out of trouble for two years.
Proud Boy beats on his wife.
Turns out he couldn't stay put of trouble. While he was living in his Indiana trailer park, Heimbach was living in his ethnopark with his wife, their child and her step-dad.

This year, the group dissolved.

Heimbach slept with his co-founder's wife. The co-founder David Matthew (known as Matt) Parrott caught Heimbach in the act. The two get into an altercation in which Heimbach twisted his arm and choked him until he went unconscious.

Heimbach fled to his home and then confronted his wife. His wife was upset that he slept around with her step-dad's wife and other women. Heimbach slapped the shit out his wife. She called the law.
Bad blood. White extremist slept with his buddy's wife.
He was soon arrested. He got out of that night only to be extradited to Kentucky to face court for violating his terms of agreement. He plead guilty to the charges and was ordered to serve a few months in the county lockup. After he was released, he soon found that his empire had collapsed.

Parrott had dissolved the white extremist group. He also said that Heimbach can't live on his property anymore.

Heimbach is pretty much shut down. He about to lose his wife. He lost his organization and he probably going to face federal lawsuits from victims of his reign of terror.

Heyer's death has become a rally cry to taking on alt-right figures like Alex Jones, Gavin McInnes, Lauren Southern, Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopolos and Tomi Lahren. They have been banned or either boycotted by Americans and Canadians who want none of their influence in their cities.



Here's a bonus for you. Jason Kessler was shouted down by his own father. Apparently, Kessler lives in his parent's home.

Alex Jones Is About To Get Knock The F*ck Out!

No where to go but down.
Far right kookspiracist Alex Jones is losing everything. InfoWars is on its last leg.

Progressives and survivors of the most recent mass shootings are calling upon Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter to end the relationship with Alex Jones. Dorsey who appeared recently on NBC News to discuss his decision to keep the far right happy. I mean he went on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival.

Hannity is just as bad as Jones and yet, Dorsey goes to him to discuss these matters.

This week, Jones was banned from Twitter and Periscope at least for a week after he openly called for an armed resistance against those who attacked him and InfoWars.



Then he decided to go to Tumblr to promote his agenda. Now there's call for Verizon/Oath, Inc, the companies that owns Tumblr to sever ties with him.

The biggest shock to Jones is the apparent closure of his longtime flagship station.

The Austin American-Statesman reported Wednesday that the pirate radio station, Liberty Radio, was hit with a $15,000 fine and at least temporarily pulled from the airwaves.

The newspaper reported that a lawsuit filed in federal court in Austin alleged that Liberty Radio had functioned without a license since at least 2013, and had been transmitting from a tower at an Austin apartment complex.

Liberty Radio stopped airing on the radio in December, but still streams online. The FCC is charging that the station was also illegally broadcasting on an FM wavelength.

The Associated Press reported that Walter Olenick and M. Rae Nadler-Olenick were named as the defendants in the lawsuit, and the apartment complex where the station was transmitting from is linked to the pair.

The Olenicks reportedly told the FCC that they would not pay the fine and would treat any agency representatives as trespassers.

Jones, a conspiracy theorist who founded the site Infowars, has recently been banned by several platforms, including Facebook, Apple and YouTube.

Infowars and Jones's content has also been pulled from Spotify and Vimeo, and Twitter placed restrictions on the accounts for Jones and his site.

Aretha Franklin Passed Away!

Aretha Franklin passed away.
The Undisputed Queen of Soul and R&B has left the world. Her spirit and music will reign forever.

The entertainment industry lost a true legend.

Today, we just got word that Aretha Franklin had died at home (hospice) after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. She was surrounded by her family and Stevie Wonder.

The news was confirmed at 9:50am.

Franklin recorded hundreds of tracks and had dozens of hits over the span of 50 years.

She won 18 Grammy awards and in 1987 became the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Donald J. Trump was notified about her death today and posted remarks on social media.


The entertainer passed away in Detroit.

Franklin's family said that her oncologist confirmed her cause of death was due to the pancreatic cancer she was battling.

"In one of the darkest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriated words to express the pain in our heart. We have lost the matriarch and frock of our family. We have felt your love for Aretha and it brings us comfort to know that her legacy will live on. As we grieve, we ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

The last public performance was the Elton John's AIDS Foundation gala in New York.

Franklin sung at Barack Obama's presidential inauguration. That became one of her biggest moments in her career. She also brought the president to tears when she sung her famous single "Natural Woman."

Franklin endured the exhausting grind of celebrity and personal troubles dating way back to childhood. She had two sons by the time she was 16 and was often in turmoil with her weight, family problems and alcoholism. '

Celebrities and others pour sympathy.


Franklin was honored both as a musical trailblazer and an advocate and role model for women and African-Americans.

“Today, the Queen of Soul has left this world; but her life and legacy has left us all with something we can truly feel," Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) said in a statement. "Aretha Franklin was soul personified and she gave us the gift of her voice, her truth and her unapologetic passion to demand compassion, love and R-E-S-P-E-C-T for women everywhere.

"An iconic entertainer, powerful civil rights leader and a beautiful spirit who I am privileged to call friend," Lawrence said. "She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.”

Salutes to Franklin also emphasized her longstanding ties to Detroit, where her father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin, was pastor of New Bethel Baptist Church.

“Aretha Franklin was known internationally as the Queen of Soul, but she was also the Voice of Detroit," Wayne County Executive Warren Evans said in a statement. "I’m deeply saddened to learn of her passing today.

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) said Franklin's father helped her husband John Dingell in his first election. As for her relationship with Franklin, "Aretha was just a friend a to me - there if I ever needed her," she said in a statement. 

"Aretha was complicated, loving and giving. Faith was important to her and the Church never left her," Dingell said. "Her faith in Detroit and it’s people is what I will remember as much as her voice."

SiriusXM announced on 60s on 6, that she passed away. It came quickly and turned into Queen of Soul Radio. 

On behalf of me and S. Baldwin, we will truly miss a legendary voice like Aretha Franklin. Her death has touched so many. Throughout her life, Aretha was struggling for success. Being a single mother was rough. She had found faith in the church. Her voice was the gift and people cherished it.

You Didn't Tell Those White Children To Have A Chaperone!

A group of young Black girls were told to leave a business after a rude worker told them to have a chaperone.
A group of Black schoolgirls at a summer camp were "not welcome" to a gift shop without adult supervision.

The incident happened at the Jenkinson's Aquarium Gift Shop at Point Pleasant Beach in New Jersey.

Four little girls go inside the gift shop and were turned away by this rude ass storekeeper. The girls were part of the Princess to Queenz Day camp in Peterson.
Linda, the rude worker is fired out the cannon.
The girls were aged 12 to 13 were promptly told they were not welcomed inside the facility without a chaperone. Once they came back with a chaperone, they were "yelled at" while other white children were in the store. The white children were not accompanied by a chaperone.

The gift store worker named "Linda" then gets into it with the chaperone, Attiyya Barrett.

This heads to social media.



Since the video went viral, the company responded promptly. They fired that woman out the cannon.

Once it social media, the white extremists decided to share some feedback to Attiyya.

Here's some of the examples of white extremists posting in regards to the controversy.









Like a boss, Attiyya responded to the vicious reaction from white extremists.





Hey, why don't we flag these individuals?

Barrett posted a video of the incident on her Facebook page that was shared more than 3.4 million times.

Jenkinson's Boardwalk promises a full investigation.

"Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated at Jenkinson's. We strive to provide all of our customers with an enjoyable experience and we clearly missed the mark this time. We sincerely apologize to the girls from the camp group for the way they felt upon leaving. We have been in contact with the group leader and will continue to work with her to make amends. The employee involved in the incident has been suspended while we conduct an investigation. Any necessary further action will be determined after said investigation." Toby Wolf, Director of Marketing, said in a statement.

This is Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka. Where a group of Black girls are denied entry into a business. According to the white power structure, if there's a group of Black people in a business, they are up to something.
