R.I.P. 16-Year Old Boy Shot Dead At Brooklyn Party After Parents Warn Him About Shooting, “They Got My Baby”

Young black men are dying in these streets like it’s nothing.

Teen Shot Dead At Brooklyn Party

It’s a shame people can’t go to a party and enjoy themselves without getting shot.

According to NY Daily News:

They warned him not to go.

A 16-year-old boy was shot and killed at a Brooklyn party Saturday night — just hours after his parents reached out and told him someone was going to shoot the place up.

“They got my baby! They got my baby!” Tiana Williams wailed as she arrived at the scene where her son Iquan lay murdered in a building’s doorway.

“We told him not to go,” a grief-stricken Williams said.

The Frederick Douglass Academy sophomore had made plans to attend the party on Prospect Place near Thomas Boyland St. in Brownsville, but his brother found out on Facebook that someone was planning to bring a gun to the party.

“We called him at 9 p.m., and said, ‘Don’t go.’” Williams said, tears streaming down her face. “He texted me (around 10 p.m.). I said, ‘Watch your surroundings. Be careful.’ He said, ‘I love you.’ I said, ‘I love you.’”

“He said he wouldn’t, but he went … ” the Bushwick mom said, her voice breaking in anguish.

Williams’ warnings proved true.

Someone opened fire at the party at 10:30 p.m., killing Iquan.

“My son didn’t deserve this. We don’t deserve to be out here crying… I want whoever did this. “They ripped our hearts out.”

Prayers go out to his family.

“Tiger Mom” Explains Which Groups Are Culturally Superior

Remember Tiger Mom??? Well she’s back and still talking yang on who’s more culturally superior, and it’s not just the Chinese!

Via NY Post:

Amy Chua, the self-proclaimed “Tiger Mom” who, in 2011, published a book arguing that Chinese women are superior mothers — thus their offspring superior children — has even more to say. In “The Triple Package,” Chua and her husband, co-author Jed Rubenfeld, gather some specious stats and anecdotal evidence to argue that some groups are just superior to others and everyone else is contributing to the downfall of America.
Unsurprisingly, the Chinese Chua and the Jewish Rubenfeld belong to two of the eight groups they deem exceptional. In no seeming order of importance, they are:

- Jewish
- Indian
- Chinese
- Iranian
- Lebanese-Americans
- Nigerians
- Cuban exiles
- Mormons

These groups — “cultural,” mind you, never “ethnic” or “racial” or “religious” — all possess, in the authors’ estimation, three qualities that they’ve identified as guarantors of wealth and power: superiority, insecurity and impulse control. “That certain groups do much better in America than others — as measured by income, occupational status, test scores and so on — is difficult to talk about,” the authors write. “In large part, this is because the topic feels so racially charged.”

Chua, a law professor at Yale, became a media sensation in 2011, when The Wall Street Journal published an extract from her book “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.” She herself is an American, raised in the Midwest, but she used her heritage and all the worst stereotypes of Chinese women — cold, rigid Dragon Ladies, hostile towards their own children — to criticize the Western way of parenting, which she also said would be the downfall of America.

On to the distinguishing factors that make these eight groups the best in America:

1. A superiority complex
Any group that collectively believes they are inherently better than any other, say the authors, has an advantage. They do not note that this is perhaps humanity’s oldest and ugliest flaw, the bottom-line cause of wars and genocide. In their estimation, it’s not nearly common enough in America, where “the Superiority Complex . . . is antithetical to mainstream liberal thinking . . . the stuff of racism, colonialism, imperialism, Nazism.” This way of thinking, they write, has been a big boon to Mormons and Jews, though they also fail to note that believing in the superiority of a belief system is the driving force behind almost all organized religion. (Except the Amish. The authors freely note that the Amish are losers for this very reason.)

2. Insecurity
Here are the authors sounding most like Malcolm Gladwell: Posit something, make a solid case for it, then immediately refute it with equal fervor. The result: Readers are so confused that they can only conclude that this book is so much smarter than they are.
The authors are very impressed with their boldness in juxtaposing insecurity with superiority. “That insecurity should be a critical lever of success is another anathema, flouting the entire orthodoxy of contemporary popular and therapeutic psychology,” they write. In fact, insecurity has long been known as a prime motivator among actors, artists, CEOs, despots. “Imposter syndrome,” the term used to describe highly successful individuals who believe, deep down, they are frauds, was identified back in 1978.

3. Impulse Control
Yet another hallmark of self-help, impulse control is considered to be a key factor in personal success — the ability to delay instant gratification in the service of a greater goal. But this isn’t really what the authors have in mind: “As we’ll use the term,” they write, “impulse control refers to the ability to resist temptation, especially the temptation to give up in the face of hardship or quit instead of persevering at a difficult task.”

You know who’s bad at this? Americans not among their eight groups. “Because all three elements of the Triple Package run so counter to modern American culture, it makes sense that America’s successful groups are all outsiders in one way or another,” they write. “Paradoxically, in modern America, a group has an edge if it doesn’t buy into — or hasn’t yet bought into — mainstream, post-1960s, liberal American principles.”
As curious as the groups that Chua and Rubenfeld elevate are the absence of ones they denigrate. Aside from the Amish (not big book-buyers), the only other group the authors take aim at are the Appalachian poor, noting, without irony, that “it’s far more socially acceptable today to insult and look down on ‘white trash’ than the poor of any other racial group.’”

As for why African-Americans don’t make the list, the authors believe that the Civil Rights Movement took away any hope for a superiority narrative, and so the black community is screwed — even as they cite Mitt Romney’s loss to Barack Obama as evidence of Mormon ascendancy. “In this paradoxical sense, equality isn’t fair to African-Americans,” they write. “Superiority is the one narrative that America has relentlessly denied or ground out of its black population.”

Nigerian immigrants, they argue, are bolstered by the belief that they are better than other West Africans — much as the Lebanese believe, as descendants of Phoenicians, that they are superior, or that the Chinese believe that their 5,000-year-old civilization makes them superior. But feeling superior to other nations, races or religions is nothing more than that — a feeling.

James Harden Is Dating Maliah Michel

Via BSO reports:

As long as The Beard isn’t ‘Dwading’ and wrapping up so he doesn’t catch anything he can’t get rid of with a shot, I say more power to him.

Maliah has dating Drake and others rappers/athletes in the past, so really no big deal, as my friend Jill Munroe says “athletes love a referral” and I sure Harden will have another lady next week I can show you photos and videos of.

James Harden & Maliah left this restaurant together. Rumble, Young Beard, Rumble….

As far as the rumors Harden blew $100k to get her, I highly doubt it took that much.

Woman Shoots Husband In Chest After Mistaking Him For Intruder Breaking Into Her Car

Something smells a little fishy.

Woman Shoots Husband After Mistaking Him For Intruder

If her husband was trying to open their car, wouldn’t she be able to see his face and know it was not an intruder?

According to AZ Family:

A San Tan Valley woman was arrested after authorities said she shot her husband.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from Melisah Havens, 34, at approximately 8:30 p.m. Friday. She reported that she had just shot her husband because she thought he was an intruder breaking into their vehicle, which was parked outside of their residence.

PCSO spokesman Tim Gaffney said deputies arrived and heard Havens screaming, “Help me, help me.” She was kneeling over her 35-year-old husband, who was lying facedown in the driveway. He had been shot twice with a shotgun, once in the chest and once in his right hand.

Deputies found three children, ages 12, 10 and 2, sitting on the couch inside the home. They also located a pump shotgun in the master bedroom closet.

“Melisah told detectives she shot her husband because she thought he was going to burglarize her vehicle,” Sheriff Paul Babeu said. “She also said that he had taken her keys and was going to get milk. Melisah declined to provide any additional information after making these statements.”

The victim was transported to a Phoenix trauma hospital where he underwent surgery. He is currently listed in critical but stable condition.

Once he is able to speak, detectives will interview him to try and learn more about what occurred.

Babeu said his office has responded to prior domestic violence calls at the residence.

Havens was booked into the Pinal County Jail for one count of domestic violence/aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The three children were turned over to Child Protective Services.

Isht is not adding up. Do you think her intruder story is a cover?

Mitt Romney Reacts To MSNNC Panel Mocking Black Grandson

But, she said she was sorry and even cried!!!!

Via Huffington Post:

Former U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said on Sunday he is ready to “move on” and has forgiven MSNBC television host Melissa Harris-Perry for a segment that joked about his adopted African-American grandson. “They apologized for it, and that’s all you can ask for,” Romney said on ‘Fox News Sunday’. He said Harris-Perry’s apology “was clearly heartfelt, and we accept that.”

The comments from the 2012 presidential nominee and former Massachusetts governor were his first about Harris-Perry’s emotional on-air apology and explanation on Saturday about the controversial segment. Romney said he understands public figures are fair targets for criticism, “but children – that’s beyond the line.”

It’s Fun To Stay At The… Village People Frontman Says Iconic Hit Song “Y.M.C.A.” Is Not A Gay Anthem

But…

Village People Frontman Says Y.M.C.A. Is Not A Gay Anthem

Via The Grio reports:

Victor Willis, original lead singer for the Village People, said he doesn’t mind that their hit “Y.M.C.A.” has become a gay anthem, but he will not perform the song in protest of Russia’s anti-gay laws at this year’s Sochi Olympic games.

Gay rights activists have suggested the “Y.M.C.A.” be played when American Olympians are introduced at the opening ceremony.

The song has long since been a gay anthem, but Willis said it was not intended to be.

“If they want to use the song that way, go right ahead, but I think it’s silly because the lyrics were written by me as an expression of urban youths having fun at the Y.M.C.A.,” Willis said according to 3 News. “The words were crafted by me to be taken any number of ways but not specific to gays. It’s much broader than that. The song is universal. I don’t mind that gays think the song is about them but I won’t perform the song in support of any protest.”

While he will not perform as part of a protest, the original frontman did say he would perform.

“But I would consider performing the song as part of the opening ceremonies and lead the stadium into the ‘Y.M.C.A.’ dance as a show of world unity because that’s something I believe the world can relate to. But I have only been asked to perform as part of a protest. And to that, I say no.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed strict anti-gay laws into effect in July, causing international backlash.

Following the new law, Putin signed a decree banning all demonstrations and rallies in Sochi throughout the Winter Games.

Jay Z’s Barneys Collaboration Nets $1 Million

Looks like Jay selling out for Barneys has really paid off.

According to Rolling Out:

Despite all of the controversy surrounding Jay Z’s holiday collaboration with Barneys, according to the books, it was an overall success. As you may recall, Hov received a plethora of negative press after Barneys was hit with a racial profiling lawsuit, which went viral after the hip hop mogul appeared to side with the franchise.

According to NY Daily News, The Shawn Carter Foundation, benefiting mostly college students, will collect over $1 million in profits thanks to sales from the luxury clothing and accessory line Jay Z and Barneys launched just two months ago.

Back in October, Jay Z assured the pubic that him moving forward with is partnership despite the bad p.r. was all for a good cause: “This money is going to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships to help further their education at institutions of higher learning.”

Do you think Hov did the right thing by continuing to support Barneys.

Hate Crimes: Atlanta Man Sentenced 8-Months In Federal Prison For Using Racial Slur And Slapping Crying Toddler Aboard Airplane!

Joe Rickey Hundley

What kinda person calls a toddler a “n***er”????

Via USAToday

A man who pleaded guilty to slapping a crying toddler on a U.S. flight has been sentenced to eight months in federal prison.

Joe Rickey Hundley was sentenced Monday. He pleaded guilty in October after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Prosecutors say Hundley used a racial slur to refer to the 19-month-old boy, who is black, and hit him under the eye as the flight descended to the Atlanta airport in February.

Prosecutors had recommended six months in prison. The judge said he imposed a higher sentence in part because of Hundley’s criminal history, which includes a prior assault.

Hundley’s lawyer objected to the deviation from the recommendation in the plea agreement and said after the hearing that she believes the sentence is disproportionate.

We like this judge. Peace, Mr. Hundley, don’t drop the soap!
