Quanell X is the same man who confronted the racist Sheriff in Texas by telling him his daughter likes to date black guys. This week, Quanell stepped into the studio of Fox29 with a message for Angela Box talking slick about #BlackLivesMatter and “Black Culture.” They say, Quanell used to roll with the late Dr. Khalid…

Just because Beyoncé can’t rea Nvm.
Astonishing and remarkable that Blue Ivy Carter is… Apparently Beyonce and Jay Z’s wonder child is being prepared for aptitude testing because she is showing some exceptional math skills for her age… Like being able to add 1+1!
According to OK! Magazine reports:
Blue Ivy Carter has definitely made her mark at her school, with her daily motorcade which has left other parents of the elite preschool upset, but she’s also got the brains! An insider told OKMagazine.com exclusively that proud parents Beyonce and Jay Z have been boasting loudly about their daughter’s very impressive intellect and believe she’s a genius!
The 3-year-old, who attends a prestigious school in Hollywood, has been excelling in music, which comes as no surprise since her famous parents are hip-hop royalty. She is “showing an understanding of octaves and major/minor keys,” the source said.
But that’s not all! Blue Ivy is also “showing very early signs of being a mathematic genius,” according to the insider.
“It was always a possibility as a lot of kids with innate musical talent are good at math too,” the source explained.
Jay and Bey have been so blown away, the source said, of Blue’s ability to count and read numbers at just 3 years old!
“Last month she was able to add up 1+1 and 1+2,” the insider added. “It’s incredible for a child her age.”
And since Blue is so bright, her doting parents want the best for her and are “having her tested for early signs of genius,” the insider revealed.
“Bey thinks she’s got more talent in her little finger than her and Jay together,” the source said.
Is it just us or do Jay and Bey need to watch a little more Sesame Street?
We put up a lot of videos of white women behaving like this… And it never gets old. A Kenyan nurse in Finland was confronted by a racist white woman who really didn’t make any sense with her rant. The woman being verbally attacked handled herself a lot better than we would have… Kudos.

Kylie Jenner is ELLE Canada’s latest cover star and is once again speaking on her infamous lips.
As previously reported the youngest Kardashian/Jenner told the mag that she and her grown man bae Tyga have had secret break ups.
In addition to that, she also revealed why she got her lip fillers and clarified why she didn’t come clean about them sooner:
“I did it strictly for me. When I got my lips done, I literally told no one! I didn’t tell my best friend or even the guy I liked at the time. I really thought it was no one’s business. My mom was super-against it, but I begged her and begged her and she finally let me do it. After I did them, I thought it was so obvious that I didn’t have to say anything. I never denied it because I always told my publicist ‘no lip questions,’ so no one ever asked me. I never said I got them done, but I never denied it either. But people thought I was such a liar!”
She also added that that’s the only knifed up procedure she’s undergone.
“People were saying I got my chin reconstructed, that I got a nose job, an eyebrow lift, I got my boobs done, this and that. So I wanted to come out and say that this is crazy and I only got my lips done. I don’t think people realize that I just turned 18. There’s no way my mom or any doctor would let me go under the knife like that—that’s just so crazy! [I admitted to using lip fillers because] I don’t want to be a bad role model. I don’t want my fans to think they have to get lip fillers or look like me in any way.”

Here’s why you should skip the Caribbean and go somewhere truly exotic like Zanzibar!
K. Michelle has let the world know that she’s getting rid of some of her butt fat and it’s a sad day. In remembrance of those bountiful backside goodies, let’s relive some of the best butt moments of her social media life.
26-year-old Aleira Avendaño rocked a corset for 7 years, has a 20-inch waist, has had two nose jobs, four breast augmentations, had every single one of her teeth removed and…wait for it…a gastric bypass surgery!
We’ve seen a LOT of surgically-enhanced thots around the internet in our day, but never have we seen one so narcissistic, delusional and completely devoid of rational thought.
This chick makes Kim Kardashian look like Socrates.
Check out some of the quotes she gave to MailOnline:
‘I’m not worried about going under the knife,’ she said. ‘I will have whatever kind of surgery that makes me feel better about my body.
‘Every woman should have plastic surgery if they want to be truly beautiful.’
Then…
‘My followers are very important to me,’ says Aleira, who says that her boyfriend never gets jealous of the constant attention she receives from her online admirers.
‘Social media is the best way to get ahead for a model today and I love to post pictures of my amazing body online.
‘I want to get as many followers as possible. The world needs to see my body.’
“Amazing body”??? Trick where???
‘It’s all in the name of beauty,’ she says. ‘I want to be known as the sexiest woman on earth’.
It’s all in the name of attention-sloring and low self-esteem if you ask us.

This should be good. This very special news program is set to air on Aspire Wednesday November 4 (today for the slow folks) and it seems like the perfect opportunity to watch the television as a FAMILY — especially if you have a black family. And if Twitter/Instagram are your thing there is a live chat going on as well.
Tonight, join @officialafamed, @tvASPiRe and @SoulsofBlackGirls for a screening & Live #AfAmEdFilms twitter chat for #SoulsOfBlackGirls tonight Wed, Nov 4th at 8pm EST. Be sure to check your local listing for the ASPiRE television channel.
The Souls of Black Girls is an award winning provocative news documentary that raises the question of whether or not women of color may be suffering from a selfimage disorder as a result of trying to attain the standards of beauty that are celebrated in media images. The candid piece features interviews with young women discussing their self-image as well as social commentary from Rapper/Political Activist Chuck D, Actresses Regina King and Jada Pinkett Smith, PBS Washington Week Moderator Gwen Ifill and Cultural Critic Michaela Angela Davis, among others.
Since its completion, The Souls of Black Girls, has been screened and overwhelmingly well-received by audiences at film festivals and more than 100 private screenings at various institutions, organizations and colleges/universities. Most recently, the film was featured as the centerpiece of Procter & Gamble’s national “My Black is Beautiful” campaign where its Producer shared the message of the piece as a celebrity panelist of the signature “My Black is Beautiful” tour.
“Too often our girls do not rise to their full potential because they are so affected by the image that others project of them. It’s good to have something that helps us understand what’s happening to our girls,” said Dr. Dorothy Height, Chair of the National Council of Negro Women. “This film was the answer to a prayer”.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. This week Hillary Clinton met with the mothers of the boys and young men who have become central in the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Via MSNBC reports:
Hillary Clinton met privately Monday evening in Chicago with the families of young black people who were killed by police officers, according to her campaign, as the Democratic front-runner pushes forward her plan for criminal justice reform.
The participants included Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, whose death tipped off unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, last year, and Sabrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, who was killed by a neighborhood watchman in Florida in 2012.
Also in attendance was Samaria Rice, the mother of Tamir Rice – the 12-year-old killed by police in Ohio while he was holding a toy gun last year – and Maria Hamilton, the mother of Dontre Hamilton, the mentally ill man who was killed by a police officer in Milwaukee in 2014.
Clinton mostly listened to the mothers’ stories, according to a campaign aide, who said the meeting was meant to address the distrust between police officers and minority communities.
Do you think Hillary will be able to affect changes in the way black people are policed? She also says she wants to end the mass incarceration of black men.
Last week, the former secretary of state added several new planks to her criminal justice reform platform. They include “banning the box” that prospective employees are asked check on job applications if they were arrested; a call for legislation to end racial profiling in policing; and an end to the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. Previously, she called for an end to the “era of mass incarceration.”
The campaign aide also said that Monday’s meeting was meant to emphasize the epidemic of gun violence in America, an issue that has become central to Clinton’s campaign and a wedge she has used against Sanders.
Does Hillary have your vote?
Remember when we told you that Rick Ross’ baby mama Tia thought his breakup with Lira might mean that the rapper has more time for his son???
Well that’s not all the Florida woman thinks about the split, considering that she’s been posting several memes and jokes on social media about it.
When news dropped that things were officially a wrap between Rozay and the 22-year-old, Tia posted about meme about finding a “faithful b***” and not a THOT…
an then posted a Tamar Braxton meme about being petty.
Following that she posted about someone’s WCW “smashing the homies.”
Hmmmmmm…wonder who she means.
What do YOU think about Tia’s response to the Rick Ross/Lira break up???

Empire was absolutely insane last night. However, one storyline had Twitter erupting. Becky – played by Gabby Sidibe – started off the show having a sex scene with J Poppa. That wasn’t enough, though. When she said he was hitting the walls, though? Man, you could hear the Internet exploding.
Here are the funniest memes and reactions.

The woman accused of impersonating a nurse and tending to Bobbi Kristina Brown during her last days is facing new charges in connection to the shocking alleged con.
A judge in Gwinett County, Ga. slapped a warrant on Taiwo Sobamowo Monday for felony drug possession and distribution in connection with her fake nurse lie. The Duluth Police asked for the warrant because Sobamowo never had the authority to dole out prescription meds to patients because she wasn’t licensed in the first place, Duluth PD Capt. Mark Hunter told BOSSIP.
“Any additional charges – and we are examining additional charges – would be the result of her acting in the capacity as a nurse,” Hunter said. “As you can imagine, a nurse may administer or may obtain drugs to provide medical services.”
If convicted, she faces up to 15 years in prison on the drug charge alone.
Cops arrested Sobamowo in North Carolina over the weekend after they learned she allegedly conned her way into Peachtree Christian Hospice, and was in charge of Brown’s palliative care. She was transferred to Forsyth County, Ga. Wednesday, where she’ll face charges of felony identity fraud, felony forgery and misdemeanor impersonating a nurse.
Police said Sobamowo stole the identity of a nurse with the same first name in order to pull the lie off.
The news comes as BOSSIP can reveal Sobamowo, 32, has racked up a laundry list of convictions over the years for theft, writing bad checks, fraud and driving without a license or insurance. She was convicted in Minnesota in 2006 of felony check forgery and sentenced to 10 years probation, and she currently has another warrant out for her arrest in Missouri for skipping a 2007 court hearing for speeding.
Staff at Peachtree Christian Hospice Care did not return BOSSIP’s call for comment Wednesday.
