Family Matters: Tamera Mowry Claps Back At Cyber-Bullies Who Attack Her Nephew’s Kinky, Curly, Natural Hair

Tamera says babies like Blue Ivy and Tia’s son Cree should be left alone!

Tamera Mowry Warns Haters To Leave Her Nephew Alone

Via S2S Magazine reports:

Tamera Mowry-Housley may be a tad biased as Cree Hardrict’s aunt, but she thinks people who criticize children’s hair should take a look at themselves.

“It tells you a lot about them,” she told HipHollywood.com. “That just tells me a lot about your character.”

Tia Mowry-Hardrict recently took to social media to blast those who criticized her son’s hair. He normally wears his curly tresses wild and loose, and some suggested Tia have his mane manicured and chopped off.

“I am proud to have a SON that embraces his natural hair. Hair length does not define your sex. Last I checked a penis and a vagina does,” wrote Tia earlier this month.
Tamera issued a warning of her own: “Don’t mess with my nephew.”

Cree isn’t the only celebrity toddler whose hair has become a topic of debate. Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy can’t seem to escape the haters. Most recently, she was the butt of a joke on BET’s “106 & Park.”

“I think people need to leave children alone. Who does that?” Tamera said. “People should be able to do whatever they want to do with their child.”

#JusticeForAvaLynn Photo Of Mississippi Girl Badly Bruised After ‘Playing On The Playground’ Goes Viral

Photo Of Mississippi Elementary Student Ava Lynn Goes Viral

A photo of an elementary school student who looks like she was severely beaten has gone viral. The mother of little Ava Lynn of Pascagoula, Mississippi is calling for justice after her child came home from school badly bruised.

School authorities allege that she was hurt while “playing on the playground” and are adamant that no other students were involved, but many (rightfully) doubt that claim.

GulfLive reports:

An Arlington Elementary student was injured on the school’s playground on Tuesday and her mother filed a police report on Thursday, according to Pascagoula Police Department Lt. Jim Roe.

“The mother alleges another child kicked her child on the slide,” Roe said. “Right now, there’s no indication something criminal took place. I have spoken with school security and an assistant superintendent is investigating the matter.”

Roe identified the mother as Lacey Harris and the student has been identified on social media sites as AvaLynn. There is a Justice For AvaLynn Facebook page created as well as a gofundme.com account that is raising money to help pay for her medical bills. It indicates about $1,000 has been raised in one day.

The Pascagoula School District issued the following statement about the incident:

“A student was injured while playing on the playground at Arlington Elementary School Tuesday afternoon. School officials responded to the situation.  The parent was contacted and the student received medical treatment. No other children were involved in the incident. The Pascagoula School District remains committed to the safety of all its students.”

The gofundme.com page indicates AvaLynn was “was badly injured in an incident at her elementary school.”

The Justice for AvaLynn Facebook page says she was “attacked by another student on the school playground. We are fighting for answers and for greater supervision at school.”

Roe said there is not an active investigation into the matter by the Pascagoula Police Department.

SMH…this is how Ava Lynn looked before her “playground” injury.

Poor Thang: First Openly Gay NFL Player Michael Sam Kicked To The Curb By The St. Louis Rams

No NFL showers for Michael Sam now…

Michael Sam Cut By The St. Louis Rams

Via Fox News reports:

The St. Louis Rams have cut Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team.

The 7th-round draft pick has been outspoken and confident as his progress was watched as closely as any rookie in the league. He has been cheered by athletes and celebrities. In the end, the defensive end couldn’t make a team stocked with pass-rushers.

Sam still has a chance to get picked up by another team or to make the Rams’ practice squad.

On Saturday, he attended Missouri’s opener in Columbia, a 1 1/2-hour drive west on I-70 from Rams Park. He was introduced to the crowd at the cut down deadline in the end zone alongside defensive E.J. Gaines, a sixth-round pick who made the team.

Sam blew a kiss and waved to the crowd, then walked back to the sideline. He posed for a few pictures then started looking at his phone and headed for the locker room.

The Rams selected Sam, the SEC co-defensive player of the year at Missouri, with the 249th overall pick out of 256 overall during May’s draft. Sam came out following his final season at Missouri.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher was proud to have made the landmark pick, but he made clear from the start that he chose Sam because he thought he had the talent to make it.

The Rams selected Sam, the SEC co-defensive player of the year at Missouri, with the 249th overall pick out of 256 overall. He kissed his boyfriend as a national television audience looked on, and arrived brimming with confidence and with a quick retort for anyone who contended he was in the NFL only because he came out.

The cameras followed, but the extra attention did not seem to faze Sam or his teammates. Veteran defensive end Chris Long noted rosters are always made up of players from different backgrounds. One by one, players said Sam was now part of their family.

Coach Jeff Fisher called the draft pick a “second historic moment” for a franchise that signed running back Kenny Washington in 1946 as the league’s first black player in the modern era, but he was most interested in describing Sam as a way to upgrade the Rams’ defense. So was general manager Les Snead, who referred to Sam after the draft as a “designated pass rusher.” Sam recognized the challenge, so he shed weight to be faster for special teams duty, reporting at 257 pounds.

Poor thang!

No Swirl Zone: New eHarmony Study Shows Black Women And Korean Men Prefer To Date Within Their Own Race

Another day, another study on dating and marriage for black women.

Study Shows Black Women And Korean Men Date The Same

The latest wave of research has come from online dating sites, which has analyzed the dating habits and behaviors of folks on some of the most popular sites. Well, eHarmony recently released data that reveals something new about the dating behavior of black women: They have a preference for intra-ethnic dating rivaled only by Korean men. FiveThirtyEight has the story:

The data reveals a clear pattern: People are interested in people like themselves. Women on eHarmony favor men who are similar not just in obvious ways — age, attractiveness, education, income — but also in less apparent ones, such as creativity. Even when eHarmony includes a quirky data point — like how many pictures are included in a user’s profile — women are more likely to message men similar to themselves. In fact, of the 102 traits in the data set, there was not one for which women were more likely to contact men with opposite traits.

Men were a little more open-minded. For 80 percent of traits, they were more willing to message those different from them. They still preferred mates who were similar in terms of height or attractiveness, but they cared less about these traits — and they didn’t care much at all about other things women cared about, like similarity in education level or number of photos taken.They cared less about whether their match shared their ethnicity.

Everyone claims that ethnicity matters to them about the same amount (4.2), but some ethnicities show much stronger preferences. Men are more likely to message women who drink more even if they claim to want women who don’t drink at all. (This remained true even when I controlled for attractiveness, age and whether the woman messaged the man, and even when I looked only at men who rated their drinking preference as important.)

“I want to again thank Tom Joyner and Allstate for having me, this is a blessing to do my dream,” said the knifed up banger.

And while she looked AMAZING, a video has since surfaced of her sounding a little worse for wear while performing her single “Flatline.”

She fine though.

Dear Bossip: I’m Considering Waiting On Him To Get Married, Or Accepting A Job Offer Out Of State

0

Black woman contemplating

Dear Bossip,

I’m 26-years old, and the mother of two beautiful daughters ages 6 and 3 years old.

My story, to keep it brief, is I met my kid’s father almost 7 years ago. Our relationship, you can say, went from zero to one hundred real quick. Within three months we were living together, and I was pregnant with our first child. I was completely in love with life. Everything was going great, so I thought.

As years went on I started to notice he was verbally abusive. That later became physical, not just on his end but mine as well. I’m bipolar and I never told him. Once my anger reaches a point I go into a state where it becomes sometimes uncontrollably. I later left once I become more emotionally stable.

Now, two years later we are still together, but still no ring. I’m ready for the next chapter in life. We both have changed, but he is still hesitant about the thought of marriage. So, now we are in year 7 and he always says, “Yeah, baby, we gonna get married it just takes time.” Or, he says, “Baby, we gonna get married. We working on it, just take it one day at a time.” Which I understand, but at what point do I say no. No more waiting.

We aren’t currently living together and I was recently offered a job out of state. I’m torn because I do love him and I do want us to be a family. But, I’m conflicted should I stay and wait? Leave and begin my new book as a single mother? – She Just Doesn’t Know

Dear Ms. She Just Doesn’t Know,

Accept the job offer and leave. Start over, begin a new life, and the new chapter in your life. You’ve been down this road of waiting on him. And, I’m sorry, but there are no pit stops along the way where you have to wait on a man, especially one who doesn’t think of you seriously, or your relationship.

Ma’am, you’ve endured the abuse, on both of your ends, and, even though you mentioned things are better now, there is still no ring. So, why wait?

Seven years later, and he still can’t make up his mind on whether or not he wants to get married? Uhm, no! This is not how this works. Why keep you on hold saying it takes time?  You’ve given him 7 years and a child. You’ve invested in him, and you’ve been through hell and back. But, you’re not worth it to get married despite everything you’ve gone through with him? Get the freak out of here!

If it hasn’t gotten better now, it won’t. If he is waiting on some miraculous sign to give him the “a-okay” to get married, it’s not going to happen. And, what are you working on before you get married? Are you in pre-marital counseling? Is he getting help for his anger, and abusive behavior? Are you therapy for your bipolar, and have you told him since you’ve kept it from him?

If you haven’t done any of the above that I just mentioned, then why get married? Seriously!?! There is no need to marry this man if neither of you are working on yourselves, in therapy, and getting the necessary treatment you both clearly need.

Therefore, you’ll just be spinning your wheels if you stay there and continue waiting on him. MOVE! LEAVE! Here is the opportunity, a blessing in disguise, to move on, start a new chapter in your life, and begin anew. A window of opportunity has opened, hell, a door is being propped open, so why not take it?

You won’t know until you do it! Simply do it and watch other miraculous blessings open up, and new things begin to appear. Take the chance. Go and do you and for the first time really, and I mean really get to know what happiness, self-love, love, joy, happiness, and peace will be like without him. This is the time to invest in you and your child. Make the investment. You can sit there and wait on him all you want. You can ask until you’re blue in the face. If he isn’t ready, then nothing will make him do what he doesn’t want to do. And, simply, he doesn’t want to get married.

He’s shown you, told you, and continues to be about him. Sure, he may love you, but marrying you is not what he wants. So, love you and your child enough to walk away, chuck up the deuces and give this new life a try. You have nothing to lose. And, I’m sure he will want to come back and want to be all up in your face talking about marriage once you start talking about moving. Well, too late. He had his chance. Now, it’s time to do you. – Terrance Dean

For Your Information: Shady Ferguson Cops Wearing Body Cameras Now “To Catch Protesters Taunting Police”

Ferguson Police Now Wear Body Cameras

Via FOXNews

Police officers in Ferguson, Mo., which became a flashpoint for protests following the fatal shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer just over three weeks ago, have begun using body cameras.

Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that approximately 50 cameras were donated by two companies, Safety Visions and Digital Ally, last week. Officers had the devices on during a protest march Saturday and captured what Jackson said were high-quality images of demonstrators taunting police.

Jackson said that the cameras were being assigned to the city’s police squads and each officer would get one to use. Representatives from the two companies had visited the police department earlier Saturday to train officers on how to use the cameras.

“They are really enjoying them,” Jackson said. “They are trying to get used to using them.”

Support for officers wearing outward-facing cameras has increased since the August 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. Last week, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., suggested that police departments should require officers to wear body cameras in order to receive federal funding. McCaskill, like other supporters of the cameras, said that footage could help determine whether an officer was being wrongfully accused of misconduct by a civilian.

“Everywhere I go people now have cameras,” McCaskill said. “And police officers are now at a disadvantage, because someone can tape the last part of an encounter and not tape the first part of the encounter. And it gives the impression that the police officer has overreacted when they haven’t.”

SMFH. Best believe we want to see everything these pigs do as much as they want to catch black people “taunting” them.

Coffee Shop Owner Charged With Money Laundering And Prostitution

Last year, we posted a story about a dirty cop who was popped chopping this lady down.

Via HeraldNet

A former nude dancer who jumped into the controversial bikini coffee stand business deposited more than $2 million in her bank in just three years.

She bought property and coffee huts with other cash, sometimes bringing along a money counter to dole out the bills. Her baristas reported making hundreds of thousands of dollars out of her stands, working mainly for tips. The women told cops the price for a cup of coffee started at $6 and customers typically paid with a $20 bill. The baristas kept the rest to shake their breasts or expose their genitals. They charged more for sex acts with the droves of men who stopped at the stands, mainly located along Highway 99 in Snohomish County.

Prosecutors on Thursday charged Carmela Panico, 52, of Snohomish, with promoting prostitution and money laundering. They allege that Panico was the madam of drive-through brothels, raking in millions of dollars and laundering the illegal profits through property acquisitions.

“Panico’s businesses were driven by prostitution and lewd behavior,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Bob Hendrix wrote in charging documents.

Her profit margin at times was twice that of well-run, established coffee stands, Hendrix said. Panico allegedly under-reported her earnings to the Internal Revenue Service, dealing in large quantities of cash. Investigators seized nearly $250,000 from her Snohomish home during a raid last year. The city of Everett has taken legal steps to keep the cash, alleging the money is profits from a criminal enterprise.

R.I.P. Spanish Teen Electrocuted After Peeing On A Faulty Lamppost At Music Festival

This is just terrible.

Teen Electrocuted After Urinating On Lamppost During Mallorca Summer Festival

Be careful where you pee…

According to NY Daily News reports:

A Spanish teenager was electrocuted after he urinated on a faulty lamppost during a music festival.

The 18-year-old died in Bunyola, on the Balearic island of Mallorca, early Sunday morning after his pee served as a conductor and sent electricity surging through his body.

Rescue workers were called at 12:40 a.m. after the young man was spotted convulsing on the ground.

They desperately performed heart massage for 30 minutes, but were unable to detect a pulse and he was declared dead soon after.

The tragedy happened during the annual summer fiesta of the town, which has a population of just 6,000 citizens.

Town Mayor Jaume Isern expressed his condolences for the family and has since canceled the rest of the celebrations, which are in their 30th year, according to El Periodico.

So sad. To die so young, so unexpectedly. Prayers definitely go out to his family.

Details on what exactly led to the confrontation are still sketchy, but word on the street is that Floyd’s babymama Melissa became fed up with his other ex Josie after Josie accused Melissa of wearing Floyd’s most recent ex-fiance Shantel Jackson’s clothes she left in their home on Instagram.

Inmates Busted Using Grandmother’s Coffin To Smuggle Drugs

Now THIS is just ridiculously shameless.

Fox News

Sheriff’s deputies in Georgia say they foiled a bizarre smuggling scheme in which two jailed inmates used their dead grandmother’s casket to help them smuggle drugs and other contraband back into the jail.

Jailers escorted Henry Ison Rouse, 27, and Nekoase Antwan Vinson, 30, in handcuffs and leg restraints to the Bentley Brothers funeral home Thursday evening to bid farewell to their grandmother.

Emma Mae Faulk of Macon died last Sunday at age 74 and the prisoners were allowed a private viewing.

“One of them stayed in there (with the casket) a good amount of time,” the Rev. Roland Stroud told the Macon Telegraph.

Back at the jail, when guards searched Vinson they found a baggie of marijuana, a packet of tobacco, a lighter and cellphone crammed in a rag tucked in his groin.

Sheriff David Davis believes Vinson and Rouse had acquaintances leave the [kush] and other items in their grandmother’s casket for them to find.  “We see ingenious ways for the inmates to bring in contraband,” Davis told the newspaper. “But this is a new one on us.”

The two were charged with marijuana possession and trying to take contraband into jail.

These bums should really be ashamed of themselves.
