“Colored People”, ‘Chicken & Grape Juice”, “Jungle Fever” and ‘Samuel L. Jackson” were some of the answers….you have to watch to beleive (sorry Maya Angelou and Morgan Freeman, we NEED a Black History month!).
I can’t! And what’s up with Black folks not knowing what month is Black History Month? ‘I’m so glad, I went to Howard U…and not a __________ school’!
Awkward! Yvette Nicole Brown and Sherri Shepherd were on Watch What Happens Live last night, and Andy Cohen took a call from a viewer named Ashley, in Milwaukee.
Ashley said to Yvette, “I’m so proud of you, by the way… What was it like working on the movie The Help?” Uh, whoops.
Kelly Clarkson has proven that any publicity is good publicity, after a Twitter endorsement of a Republican Presidential candidate resulted in her album Stronger experiencing a huge spike in sales.
In case you haven’t heard yet, yesterday Kelly tweeted her support for the conservative Presidential candidate Ron paul, which resulted in Kelly receiving a barrage of criticism from her angry followers, leaving the American Idol star to profusely defend herself against claims that she’s aracist and homophobe.
Kelly may have lost a few long-time fans over the drama, but by the next morning sales of Stronger had spiked 192% on Amazon, while the album climbed up to No. 13 on iTunes official albums chart (it’s now #15).
GOP Presidential hopeful Ron Paul has recently been accused of racist and homophobic literature stemming from a newsletter he founded years ago. But that didn’t stop ole Miss American pie eating, American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson from tweeting her full support of the candidate!
“I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he’s got my vote. Too bad he probably won’t.”
Of course her tweets were met with a huge backlash from her more educated followers:
Damn, when did diversity become a bad word?? I learned a lot in my African-American history class in high school…and everyone was invited!
An administrative law judge ruled Tuesday that a Tucson school district’s ethnic studies program violates state law, agreeing with the findings of Arizona’s public schools chief. Judge Lewis Kowal’s ruling marked a defeat for the Tucson Unified School District, which appealed the findings issued in June by Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal.
Huffington Post reports:
Kowal’s ruling, first reported by The Arizona Daily Star, said the district’s Mexican-American Studies program violated state law by having one or more classes designed primarily for one ethnic group, promoting racial resentment and advocating ethnic solidarity instead of treating students as individuals.
Funny and scary!

The HuffPo is reporting the following:
WBBM-TV, the CBS affiliate in Chicago, has come under fire in recent days for broadcasting an interview with a four-year-old boy, and deliberately taking his quote out of context to completely pervert its meaning.
The story aired on June 30, as part of a package about overnight violence around the city.
(Scroll down to watch the distorted interview.)
Dumb shit.
I’m glad all the kids are weating their pants more fitted/tight now, because I when they switch it to ‘no tights allowed’ people’ll show their obvious discrimination!
A passenger’s refusal to pull up his saggy pants led to his arrest Wednesday aboard a US Airways flight at San Francisco International Airport, according to police. A flight attendant was apparently offended that she could see the ‘outline’ of Marman’s ‘private part’! Why you looking b*atch?!!
The passenger, Deshon Marman, was charged with trespassing, battery and interfering with the duties of a police officer following an incident that started at the gate, when agents asked Marman to pull up his pants to cover his underwear, said San Francisco Police Sergeant Michael Rodriguez.
Hmmm…I haven’t seen the Hangover II movie yet (I’m a Bridesmaids type of guy!), but I’m hearing lots of chatter about the use of the ‘N’ word in the film….I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. According to political/social blogger Mo Kelly, this is no laughing matter! He writes:
I could go to painstaking lengths, detailing how deeply offensive and unfunny the repeated and gratuitous use of n**** in the movie The Hangover Part II was, but the damage in large part has already been done. This bell can’t be un-rung.
Ooookay….when I was first told about the N-word being used in the movie, I kinda chuckled…but maybe I shouldn’t have!
