Howard University Graduate Shot In The Head While Protesting In St. Louis

Tensions have reached their peak and beyond both in Ferguson, Missouri and across the country as the community continues to protest on behalf of the seemingly endless run of police brutality that continues to claim the lives of African-Americans at an increasing rate and police are apparently continuing to respond with violence even in the midst of the mayhem.

Most recently, a Howard University graduate by the name of Mya Aaten-White,who has been peacefully protesting in St. Louis, was shot in the head by police who are reportedly trying to pass it off as a drive by shooting according to fellow protesters.

This message, currently circulating the internet, gives a few additional details as to what happened:

For Discussion: Fox News Guest Says Al Sharpton Should Address The ‘Moral Decay’ Of Blacks Rather Than Blame White Cops

Fox News Host Says Al Sharpton Needs To Blame Blacks Not White Cops

On Fox & Friends Thursday morning, Black Sphere Executive Director and St. Louis resident Kevin Jackson said that African American communities needed to stop “pointing the finger” at police, and instead examine the dynamics of black communities.

Via Mediaite reports:

Jackson reserved particular ire for Al Sharpton, whom he accused of distracting from the larger issues in Ferguson.

“[Sharpton], Barack Obama, and Eric Holder really should have been talking about the bigger issue, which is I think law enforcement and how this all occurred and the type of decay, the moral decay that’s occurring in neighborhoods like this,” Jackson said.

The F&F hosts asked Jackson about a previous comment, in which he criticized black communities for idolizing the reggae artist Snoop Lion over Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

“My point there is that we’ve gotten to a point in the black community where we’re idolizing the wrong people,” Jackson continued. “Here is a neighborhood that says ‘kill the police.’ I happen to live in a black neighborhood here in St. Louis. We’re the ones who need the police protection. So we’re doing things opposite because quite frankly, I think liberalism has sort of led us to this opposite way of thinking. You should be exalting people like Clarence Thomas and many others that are out there fighting the good fight, but instead, we do tend to idolize people that quite frankly don’t live the types of lives and we wouldn’t want for our kids.”

Jackson also dismissed the claim that the Ferguson police force underrepresented the city’s black community. “The fact of the matter is, if the police are here to protect you and they’re doing a good job, who cares what color they are?” he said. “But the bigger point there is a lot of the police who are black have left the Ferguson Police Department for better and easier jobs.”

Anyone who doesn’t question the rationality and proportionality of the excessive response by Ferguson police after last night’s display should really put the talking points away for bit. Do you think this idiot man has a point?

Oh Brother: Don Lemon Addresses How “White Folks” Need To Stop Being In Denial About Racism And Start Becoming “Their Black Brothers Keeper”

Don Lemon Takes White People To Task For Being In Denial About Racial Inequality

After interviewing witnesses to Mike Brown’s murder, Don Lemon issued the following statement on the Tom Joyner Morning show, which we’re sharing here via Black America Web:

It’s been almost a week since unarmed teenager Michael Brown was shot dead by a police officer in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, and still no answers.

More eyewitnesses are coming forward, like Piaget Crenshaw and Tiffany Mitchell who in an exclusive live interview with CNN told me they saw Brown standing outside the police car trying to wrest his arm away from the officer’s grip.

The officer, they say, was still inside the police car.

The young lady’s attorney, Peter Cohen, who happens to be white, conveyed to me in the same interview what is perhaps the most simple and sensible statement I’ve heard thus far.

We need to address the fact that in Ferguson, Missouri black drivers and people are stopped more often than whites even though the whites who are stopped are more often carrying illegal contraband.

We need to address the fact that Ferguson, Missouri is not an outlier.

Official government statistics show that the same thing happens in cities and towns all over the United States.

We need to address the fact while we don’t know exactly what went down between Brown and the officer that many people in this country are more likely to give the officer the benefit of the doubt rather than an unarmed black teenager.

“He must have been doing something or the officer would not have stopped him or killed him.”

How many times have you heard that, especially from white people in this country?

We need to address the fact that many white people in this country refuse to even allow the possibility that there is a double standard when it comes to the way black men are perceived and treated in American society on a daily basis, on the street, at work, at the grocery store, at the mall, everywhere.

Earlier this year President Barack Obama launched a nationwide imitative called ‘My Brother’s Keeper’ to address the issues facing black men in America.

That program isn’t just for black people to help black men.

It’s for all people to help black men.

It’s time for the white people who are in willful denial to break the cycle and become their black brother’s keeper.

(slow claps for Don Lemon) Homeboy finally gets it. He’s actually not gonna blame young black men for their own deaths because they were sagging… or black violence… or single black mothers.

Do you think “white folks” will hear him though?

Bird Beef: Ex-RHOA Star Kim Zolciak Slams Kenya Moore “She’s Like 42, No Kids And Never Been Married!”

Kim fires shots at Kenya Moore!

Kim Zolciak Says Kenya Moore Has No Kids Or Man

Kim Zolciak Biermann admitted she misses co-starring on “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” but she really didn’t like being a housewife.

Via S2S Magazine reports:

She is one of the original cast members, but her repeated conflicts with NeNe Leakes and responsibilities to her NFL husband and growing family pulled Kim in another direction.

Though she’s a happily married mom of six and the star of “Don’t Be Tardy,” Kim said there are things she misses about “RHOA.”
“I do miss laughing and getting out of the house,” she told Andy Cohen. “I really don’t miss the drama.”

Kim may miss receiving invitations to fabulous events and always being at the top of the guest lists, but she didn’t appreciate the way she was depicted on the series.

“I was made to look like a wine drinking, raging lunatic,” she told In Touch. “I hated it!”

Kim, whose friendships with Kandi Burruss and NeNe Leakes were damaged while on the show, admitted that she didn’t click with the other women.

“I didn’t like half of the women on the show, so that made things difficult,” she said.

Kim and NeNe have mended their relationship, but “RHOA” still has plenty of dramatic moments, and Kim suggested maybe it’s time for NeNe to branch off.

“We all know that NeNe could probably carry the show by herself,” said Kim who also named Phaedra Parks and Cynthia Bailey as women who have interesting storylines during season 7.

Kim only worked with Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore briefly, but she offered up some shade when Andy mentioned Kenya.

“I don’t really know her that well. What is she doing? She’s like 42, never been married, no kids… What is she doing,” Kim responded.

No coincidence that Kim is talking that isht about Kenya Moore as soon as she’s back to being friends with Nene. Funny how that works, eh?

No Love For A Thug: Phaedra Parks Addresses Apollo’s Visits To Skrip Clubs And Man Parts In Legal Deposition

Phaedra doesn’t seem to be such a fan of her hubs anymore.

Phaedra Parks Answers Questions About Husband Apollo In Lawsuit Deposition

The lawyer and “Real Housewives” star delivered gruff answers about her hubby when questioned for a legal deposition.

According to Radar Online reports:

Will Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks’ marriage outlast his upcoming eight-year prison stint? After Nida admitted to RadarOnline.com that he and Parks were having “issues” in their marriage, Radar has learned that she slammed him for visiting strip clubs in new court filings.

Parks made the explosive claims in a new deposition for her defamation case against Angela Stanton, an acquaintance who wrote a book about her, Lies of a Real Housewife.

Court documents obtained by Radar state that when she was asked whether her husband Nida could have met Stanton, she claimed, “I mean, she’s a stripper. She was a stripper. And you know, my husband obviously has been one to frequent strip clubs.”

Yet another bizarre line of interrogation called into question her familiarity with her husband’s genitals, and Parks seemed to suggest she hadn’t seen them for a while.

Asked whether Nida has only one testicle — a claim Stanton makes in the book — Parks responded, “The last time I saw it, he had two.”

Parks’ alleged reluctance to answer questions about trickier questions, like the criminal enterprise that earned Nida eight years in prison for fraud, had Stanton’s lawyers slamming her for “thwarting” justice and making “a mockery of the court.” Now, they’ve asked a judge to require her to sit for another deposition — at her own expense.

How random were these legal deposition questions though?

It definitely doesn’t look good for Apollo and Phaedra but can you really blame her?

Twitter Activism Is Real: #NMOS14 Vigils Held For Mike Brown In 90 Cities Nationwide

Sorry Donald Glover, you were wrong…

#NMOS14 Vigils Held For Mike Brown

Twitter was on fire Thursday with photos and videos from #NMOS14 or National Moment Of Silence vigils held in 90 cities nationwide.

The events were incepted on Twitter by user @FeministaJones and peacefully paid tribute to Mike Brown and other victims of police brutality.

NBC News reports:

Thousands of people gathered in more than 100 U.S. communities Thursday in remembrance of Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager whom police shot to death last weekend in Ferguson, Missouri.

The centerpiece of the observations — being held at such historic places as New York’s Union Square, Boston Common and St. Louis’ Gateway Arch — was a simultaneous national moment of silence at 7:20 p.m. ET.

I have two grandchildren, and I want them to be able to walk the streets safely without the police shooting them,” said Debbie Ray, who attended the rally in St. Louis, of which Ferguson is a suburb.

“There doesn’t seem any reason in the U.S. for rifles to be aimed at people in the streets,” Ray told NBC News. “Will they have firehoses and dogs in the street next?”

“We want to stand in an effort of love and support and organize community support for how we can mobilize our anger and our upset and our disappointment,” said Renee Chapman, an organizer of the vigil at Marshall Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.

National organizers, who rallied communities from coast to coast under the Twitter hashtag #NMOS14, were adamant that the gatherings weren’t protests or boycotts after four days of unrest and confrontation in Ferguson.

“We are not protesting. We are not going to be chanting or anything of that nature,” Chantelle Batiste, an organizer of the vigil at New Orleans’ 225-year-old Lafayette Square, told NBC station WDSU. “We want to make sure everyone comes like-minded and everyone stays peaceful.”

#NMOS14 brought out thousands, check out some #NMOS14 photos after the flip.

Welcome To AmeriKKKa: Mall Cop Ignores White Racist Harassing Seattle Protesters And Pepper-Sprays Innocent Black Bystander

PEPPERSPRAY

There really is a war on Black people in this country

Mall Cop Pepper Sprays Innocent Black Man At Protest

An African-American Seattle man who happened to be walking by a pro-Palestinian protest said that he is still confused as to why a security guard would have pepper sprayed him instead of a white man who was harassing demonstrators and yelling racial slurs.

Via Raw Story reports:

Freelance photographer Alex Garland, who photographed and videotaped the incident, told The Stranger that a white shirtless man had been trying to start fights with activists at a pro-Palestinian rally on Saturday.

Garland said he heard the man shout “towelhead” and something he thinks sounded like “sand n*gger.”

As 26-year-old Raymond Wilford was walking to a friend’s house, the shirtless man apparently confused him for a protester.

“I was trying to avoid him because I heard him say a bunch of racial stuff,” Wilford told The Stranger.

In photos taken by Garland, the two men can be seen squaring off in a fighting stance, but Wilford said he never actually threw a punch.

That’s when a Westlake Center security guard arrived on the scene.

“The security guard was like, ‘Stop,’” Wilford recalled. “The white guy was still yelling and walking towards the security guard. I was like, ‘Why are you pointing your mace at me? He’s the one being aggressive.’ And then he pepper-sprayed me.”

Photos show the security guard walking past the shirtless white man to pepper spray Wilford, who is black.

“The guy that was the aggressor was closer to the security guard,” Garland said, according to MyNorthwest.com. “The other individual, the person of color, was further away but he was the one who got pepper sprayed.”

Video taken by Garland shows protesters pleading with the security guard, saying, “You Maced the wrong guy.” A Seattle police officer arrived on the scene, and the security guard took Wilford away to be detained. Meanwhile, the photos show the shirtless man casually walking away.

The security guard later told Seattle officers that Wilford “took an aggressive step towards him” so he was forced to deploy his pepper spray, a police reported indicated.

Valor Security Services, which employs the security guard, told KING that the guard gave multiple warnings.

“Please know these actions are never done without warning and careful consideration,” Valor spokesperson Scott Born insisted in a statement. “It is always our goal to try to resolve all situations as peacefully as possible.”

Valor declined to tell KING if the guard was still working for the company. The Seattle Police Department was investigating the incident.

For his part, Wilford said that he would like to speak with management at Westlake, and he has not ruled out legal action.

“I’ve been treated like that all my life, so it kinda brushes off,” Wilford explained to The Stranger. “I’m from the South, I’m from New Orleans. I’ve seen the worst of it.”

“People here seem to be more secretive about their not liking black people, or their racism,” he added. “I’m so used to it I don’t know what’s wrong and what’s right half the time.”

When the madness end?

13-Year-Old Arrested For Drunk Driving

via Huffington Post

Police say an officer making a traffic stop in eastern Wisconsin found an intoxicated driver behind the wheel — and she was just 13 years old.

They say five other juveniles, 14 and under, were along for the ride.

Authorities say the officer stopped the vehicle in Manitowoc shortly before midnight Wednesday because its headlights were off. Police Capt. Larry Zimney tells WOMT radio that the girl was arrested and later released to her mother.

Police say one of the juvenile passengers was taken to the Sheboygan County juvenile detention center because of a pending court order.

First Rih-Rih, now this?

Chris Martin Rumored To Be Dating Jennifer Lawrence

Just when we thought Chris and Gwyneth might work it out… via DailyMail:

Chris Martin is quietly dating Jennifer Lawrence, according to a new report.

The couple have been spending time together since the end of June, after the Hunger Games star broke up with on-off boyfriend Nicholas Hoult.

It comes amid rumours that Chris’ estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 41, has started a relationship with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk.

On Friday E! News claimed ‘multiple sources’ have confirmed there is a budding romance between Chris, 37, and Jennifer, 24, who are 13 years apart in age.

While both notoriously private, back on July 1 Chris and Jennifer were seen at an afterparty following his band Coldplay’s gig at London’s The Royal Albert Hall.

The outing came four months after Gwyneth and Chris – who have two children together – announced they were ‘consciously uncoupling’ via a statement on her lifestyle blog Goop.

Lawrence’s split earlier this summer from her X Men co-star Hoult was just as friendly, with sources saying their busy careers were to blame.

Like Martin, Hoult is a Brit, something Jennifer has made it clear she finds appealing.

‘I’m a big fan of all things British,’ she said in an interview with The Sun back in January.

Wonder what Gwyneth has to say about this? Well may the odds be ever in Chris Martin’s favor!

Did the Kardashian Cult set “Lammy” up?

Lamar Odom Angry To Be A Kardashian Story Line, Feels Set Up

Well, it’s no surprise that Lam-Lam wouldn’t want to be scapegoated for Rob’s addiction and set up for reality cameras by his own wife…

Via RadarOnline:

Nearly eight months after Khloé Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom, the two are still technically married. But as Odom attempts to disentangle himself from his estranged wife and make an NBA comeback, RadarOnline.com has learned that he’s furious that his ex and her family have made him an ongoing story line on Keeping Up with the Kardashians — even going so far as to “set him up” to get him in front of the cameras!

Khloé has referenced her crumbling marriage all season, but on this Sunday night’s episode of KUWTK Odom will actually make an appearance as the show features the incident from May when the NBA star was denied entry to a club where Khloé’s bad boy rapper boyfriend, French Montana, was performing. In preview clips, Khloé acts surprised by Odom’s presence, but insiders tell Radar it was all an act.

“Lamar was extremely upset, because Khloé was the one who had told him where she would be that night,” the insider said. “Lamar was only in Los Angeles for a few days, and did want to talk to her. He had no idea that there would be cameras from the show there, and he felt like she set him up.”

Indeed, in a phone call between the couple the day after the confrontation, “Khloé admitted in the conversation that she knew cameras would be there,” the source said, “and even admitted that Kim pretended to be sleeping in a car with Jonathan Cheban.”

For Odom, that was the last straw, according to the source.

“Lamar is just beyond furious that he is being shown as some loser for the show, pining away for Khloé,” the source explained. “It was a big problem for them during the marriage, everything was always for the stupid reality show. He seriously questions the person that Khloé is now.”

The source added, “Lamar could care less about French Montana . . . if Lamar had been granted entry to the club, there wouldn’t have been any altercation.”

Guess that’s what happens when you marry someone you’ve only known for three weeks…
