"Dear White People" Will Outrage Conservatives!

A movie that will certainly touch nerves and provoke a conversation about race.

There's a sleeper comedy coming this Fall. This movie is certainly going to piss off the racist right.

Dear White People is an upcoming 2014 American satire drama film written and directed by Justin Simien. The film focuses on black students attending Ivy League college in America and stars Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Teyonah Parris, Brandon P Bell, Kyle Gallner, Brittany Curran and Dennis Haysbert.

The film premiered in-competition in the US Dramatic Category at 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2014.

It's a play on the stereotypes of Black America and how White people look upon it. At a fictional university, a riot is provoked by a White fraternity who throws a Black themed party.

Mediaite reports that the protagonist, a biracial student named Samantha White (played by Tessa Thompson), uses her college radio platform to lecture the white students at the fictional Ivy League school about how to interact with black people.

“Dear white people,” Sam says into the microphone in the trailer, “the minimum requirement of black friends needed to not seem racist has just been raised to two. Sorry, but you’re weed man, Tyrone, does not count.”

“Dear white people, please stop touching my hair.” she says. “Does this look like a petting zoo to you?”

And, “This just in: Dating a black person to piss off your parents is a form of racism.”

Later, when a white student asks her how she would feel if someone started a “Dear Black People” radio show, she replies, “No need. Mass media from Fox News makes it clear what white people think of us.”

Obamacare Got Knocked Down By Federal Judges!

Conservative judges strike down the subsides for the Affordable Care Act.

The president's signature law is under fire once again by the activist court. A three-judge panel ruled in Halbig v. Burwell that people in the 36 states that use the federal health insurance exchange are ineligible for subsidized insurance. The decision would also affect those who purchased insurance through the exchange but don't receive subsidies, as reneging on the payments would lead to a rapid increase in insurance rates for everyone.

Raymond Randolph, a Bush, sr. judge.

The White House said Tuesday the decision will be appealed to the entire D.C. circuit court -- what's known as an en banc review -- where Democrats hold a majority that is nearly certain to overturn the GOP judges' aggressive move. The next step could be the Supreme Court, which already upheld the Affordable Care Act in a separate case two years ago.

The two judges seized on text within the law that said subsidies would be provided to people who purchased insurance on exchanges established by the states. But 36 states declined to set up their own exchanges, and chose to rely on the federal government's exchange instead. Because the law doesn't specifically say that people who bought insurance on the federal exchange also get subsidies, the law's opponents argued that therefore such subsidies are illegal.

"The problem confronting the [ACA] is that subsidies also turn on a third attribute of Exchanges: who established them. Under section 36B, subsidies are available only for plans 'enrolled in through an Exchange established by the State under section 1311 of the [ACA],'" the majority opinion ruled, rejecting the counter-argument that other portions of the law specifically say that a federal exchange set up for a state is by definition a state exchange.

Thomas Griffin, W.'s appointed judge.

Halbig v. Burwell is a lawsuit that challenges the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. A July 8, 2014 Washington Post article described it as being "the next big Obamacare case." On June 30, 2014, the Los Angeles Times said that compared to the recent Burwell v. Hobby Lobby ruling, it was "a far more fundamental challenge to Obamacare."

The lawsuit challenges the power of the federal government to spend money on subsidies for policies that were purchased at the federal exchange. The plaintiff claims that the text of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act only allows federal subsidies for exchanges that were "established by the State under Section 1311."

The Washington Post reported, "Section 1311 instructs states to create exchanges. Federal exchanges are established under Section 1321 of the Act." Subsidies for citizens in 34 states are at risk, because people in those states signed up under the federal exchange.

This is an ongoing situation, we here at Journal de la Reyna will continue to cover this controversy.

The Republicans and their allies once again obsess with a law that benefits millions of Americans who can't afford insurance. This ruling could affect over 4.7 to 10 million who already signed for the federal assistance in healthcare coverage.

Jay And Bey Doing A Banana Split!

The Roc is splitting.

The New York Post (Page Six) is spicing up rumors of the power couple planning on a divorce.

The very discrete and private couple is reporting separating. The rumors are burning up.

Since the Solange Knowles incident, the power couple have been very distant about their relationship.

According to the junk food media sources, this may be happening and you may not even know it.

They are trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing . . . This is a huge concert tour and they've already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front,” the source said.

The media mogul is trying to hire marriage counselors to keep the relationship together.

The ugly rumors of him cheating seem to be growing.

Despite the tens of millions the couple will pocket from the current tour, this will certainly be their last and the end of the tour could officially spell the end of the marriage, the source said.

They both as a couple pull in nearly $359 million.

“There are no rings, if you haven’t noticed,” the source said, admitting that he thought things would get better after the birth of the couple’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

“For just a split moment, things got real for them and she was even talking about adding to the family,” the source said.

“But, after a while, Jay was out doing Jay and Bey was out doing Bey. They made the classic mistake of thinking a child would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn't.”

The racist right hates the power couple. Some conservative agitators have been aggressively and relentlessly criticizing the power couple over their explicit lyrics, their trip to Cuba, the necklace he was wearing, the support for the president, and even their thoughts on the Trayvon Martin and that asshole's situation.

I mean this is a major thing happening in the world. While two celebrity agitators got married a month ago, the power couple who managed six years of marriage are divorcing.

Say it ain't so!

What's your thoughts on the situation?

A Not So Great Destiny!

Farrah Franklin is washed up. She spent a day in county lockup.

Farrah Franklin, formerly of Destiny's Child got a few days in county lockup after causing some disorderly conduct in South Carolina.

She was busted for having disorderly conduct. She had a few drinks before she went to town.

Franklin was arrested in South Carolina early Sunday morning for disorderly conduct ... TMZ has learned and our sources tell us alcohol was definitely involved. Franklin -- who who spent 5 months with the group in 2000 before Beyonce and Kelly Rowland gave her the boot -- was booked into the Horry County Detention Center in Conway around 5AM.

In April 2011, Franklin was arrested for disorderly conduct in Culver City, California.

She later claimed that she was "manhandled" by police, the victim of racial profiling and had not been arrested but merely detained; however, police reiterated to TMZ that she was in fact arrested and that they were responding to a resident's claim that Franklin had been "disturbing the peace"

Kelly Rowland only second to Beyonce Carter is expecting a child this year.

Mom "Who Couldn't Win" Got A Break!

Homeless mother was spared the iron college after she left her children in the vehicle. There was an outcry to how the Arizona justice system managed to punish a Black mom while a White mom got off with probation after she left her child on top of a vehicle.

This leaving children and pets in a hot vehicle has gotten major attention after a Georgia father done it to his own son. The prosecutors are trying to prove that Mark Wilson was busy sexting and flirting online with women while his own son Justin sat in a car for hours. This story is gaining national attention after the father managed to build up this crazy albeit about how he "tried" to save his son and all. Wilson will be facing the gas chamber if he's found guilty in the death of his son.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Justin.

Remember some time ago a woman was charged with two felonious assault charges for leaving her two little children in a hot car while she was looking for a job. She got a break. Although she still has no job, her freedom from the iron college is pretty damn good.

The Associated Press reports that Shanesha Taylor, who faced being tried on two felony child abuse charges, said gratitude was the only thing she felt.

"I'm grateful for the offer that was extended to me and the opportunity to resolve this situation as well as to show my intentions," said Taylor, who shed a few tears while standing outside the courthouse.

Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said his office and the 35-year-old mother of three have an agreement under which he'll dismiss the charges against her if she meets several conditions.

Those include completing parenting and substance abuse treatment programs and establishing education and child care trust funds for her children.

Authorities arrested Taylor after bystanders in Scottsdale reported seeing her two sons alone in her car in March. Taylor told police that she wasn't able to find a baby sitter for the boys, who were 2 years and 6 months old at the time. The third child was in school at the time of the incident.

A look into two cases. One that made national attention and one that was swept under the rug. The Phoenix New Times managed to expose the racial bias in how Arizona sentence reckless mothers.

A witness found the infant crying hysterically and sweating profusely as temperatures inside the SUV exceeded 100 degrees. According to court documents, firefighters found the vehicle's windows rolled down an inch and no running air conditioning to keep the children cool.

While Montgomery has said his focus was on how the children were treated, Taylor drew sympathy from people who saw her as a single mother trying to get work.

An online fundraising website set up by a New Jersey woman brought in more than $114,000 in donations for her, according to Taylor's attorney.

Taylor, who declined to answer questions from reporters, thanked supporters who sent cards and money. She has since used some of the money to secure a new place to live, her lawyer said.

"You helped make today possible for me. You gave me life," Taylor said. "You provided a future for my children. I truly appreciate you."

Montgomery called the agreement a "just resolution" that holds Taylor accountable while serving the best interests of her family.

Taylor, who previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, appeared in court Friday for what had been scheduled as a settlement conference.

Judge Joseph Welty of Maricopa County Superior Court accepted the agreement but warned Taylor that it included an admission that she had endangered her children. That admission could be used against her if the case ends up being prosecuted in the future, Welty said.

Taylor, who spoke little during the proceeding, acknowledged she understood what the judge said.

In May, a court commissioner granted her visits with both children under the supervision of a Child Protective Services worker. She has been able to maintain steady visits since then, Taylor's defense lawyer Benjamin Taylor said. The two are not related.

Benjamin Taylor called the outcome a "win-win situation" for all parties.

"Justice doesn't always have to mean punishment," he said.

Benjamin Taylor said the deal calls for her to attend 26 weekly parenting classes. He said the screening for possible substance abuse programs is standard protocol. His client does not have any substance problems, he added.

"Ms. Taylor has requirements to meet also and she will meet those requirements so that way her case will be dismissed," Benjamin Taylor said.
