Hate Crimes: Black Father Dies Protecting Teen Daughter From White Man Who Hurled Racial Slurs At Her – “What N****r?!”

He died defending his daughter from some low life. So sad.

Man Dies Defending Daughter’s Honor Against Racial Slurs

We hope the racist scumbag who did this gets hard time.

According to Chicago Tribune:

Every weekday, Masharah Tingling says her dad would walk her to her school and be waiting for her when classes finished up.

But on Wednesday afternoon, their ritual went terribly wrong when the two were confronted by a man with a lengthy criminal record on a Rogers Park street, according to Chicago police and Cook County prosecutors.

When the man hurled a racial epithet at them, Michael Tingling pulled his 15-year-old daughter behind him, authorities said. The man then struck her father in the chest, he tried to defend himself but moments later he collapsed in a nearby business and was rushed to the hospital in full cardiac arrest, according to prosecutors. Michael Tingling, 59, was pronounced dead at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston less than a hour.

According to the mother, Firek “stared at them, looked at her up and down, and her dad grabbed her, put her behind him and he told him, ‘You need to walk away.’“The guy was just standing there grinning,” she said.

In court, prosecutors said Tingling had pulled his daughter behind him after Firek had stopped in their path and asked, “What (N-word)?” Authorities said Tingling is black and Firek is white.

Assistant State’s Attorney Rita Infelise said Firek punched Tingling in the upper chest. Tingling pushed him, and Firek punched him again in the chest, she said.

A judge ordered Joseph Firek, 59, who is on parole for a residential burglary conviction, held on $250,000 bail Friday on charges of first-degree murder and a hate crime.

It’s a shame people can’t even pick up their daughter from school without experiencing such hate.

They Want That Old Thang Back? Khloe Kardashian And Lamar “Light It Up” Odom “Talking All The Time”

Could Khloe be taking jobless junkie Lamar back?

Khloe And Lamar Talking All The Time

It seems Khloe has gotten over finding crack rocks in her home and Lamar creeping with slorey mistresses.

According to US Weekly:

Welp, it ain’t over until it’s over! Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom back in December 2013, but an insider tells Us Weekly the pair have recently been chatty.

“They’re talking all the time,” a source tells Us of the pair. “It’s not over yet.”

Indeed, the reality star’s latest renovations to her new home may be pointing to a possible reconciliation. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 29, has been “building a subterranean basketball court” in her new home, the source says. (The brunette stunner recently purchased Justin Bieber’s Calabasas, Calif., residence for $7.2 million.)

“Her installing a basketball court really says something,” an Odom insider tells Us. “He thinks he could get Khloe back.”

Should Khloe give Lamar another chance or just keep it pushing?

How is using “tar baby” NOT racist??

Virginia Senator Compares Obamacare To Tar Baby

Via HuffPo reports:

Despite issuing an apology, Virginia state Sen. Frank Ruff (R) faced more heat on Wednesday for his decision to liken Medicaid expansion to a “tar baby.”

WWBT-TV reports that state delegate and Virginia Black Caucus Member Delores McQuinn condemned the comment made by Ruff at a Tuesday Danville, Va. chamber of commerce breakfast, saying that he “should have known better.”

“Many had been called that as they were lynched on a tree,” McQuinn said, referring to the phrase’s use in 19th-century Uncle Remus African folklore stories.

Ruff told the Virginian Pilot by phone Wednesday that he “meant nothing racial” with the comments. He paralleled those remarks in an additional statement.

“None of my comments at the Chamber of Commerce were meant to be offensive, and certainly not racially offensive,” Ruff said, according to the Lynchburg (Va.) News & Advance.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) also reacted to Ruff’s words Wednesday, calling the remarks “horrible comments.”

“I know he has apologized, but there is no place in the debate that we are having today to be using that kind of language,” McAuliffe said, according to WWBT-TV.

WTF?!? Ruff is a 64-year-old man from a state with a very racist past. It is extremely hard time believing he doesn’t know a little bit of the history behind the term “tar baby” and what it means. GTFOH!!!!

Riding public transportation in Philadelphia, there isn’t a day I don’t see people’s questionable parenting techniques. I understand how challenging it can be to want to discipline your child without hitting them, but also not ruin other passengers’ commute because your child wants to eat the cookie you’re trying to save until after dinner. It’s as frustrating as it is embarrassing when you’re trying to control a full on tantrum while avoiding the condescending looks of people who you know are thinking, “What that child needs is a good behind whooping.”….

Man Kills Dog And Posts Picture Of Corpse On Facebook

Some people really ain’t isht.

According to The Examiner:

Richele Ince and her four-year-old daughter are distraught over the death of their one-year-old dog in St. Mary’s County after being shot and killed by neighbor Kenneth Woodburn reported the baynet.com.

On March 12, Ince’s dog named Tank, who was well-known in the neighborhood and informally known as the mascot of the daycare center on the same street where Ince and Woodburn both lived, was shot and killed. Woodburn allegedly didn’t like Tank because the dog would walk on his property.

Before Woodburn shot and killed the dog, he had posted his status on Facebook saying that if the dog came into his yard, “Hey going to dye today [sic].”

The day that Tank was killed, Ince believes the dog was on his way over to the daycare center, where he spent most of his time with the little girl, and may have been lured onto Woodburn’s property with treats. According to Woodburn, the dog “charged” him.

Woodburn then took a selfie of himself with dead Tank on his lap and posted the photo on his Facebook page. Viewers were outraged as the photo went viral.

Woodburn will likely be charged with animal cruelty which is a felony in Maryland. If convicted, he will never be able to own a gun legally again.

We’re glad he will likely be charged. It’s disgusting to shoot an animal and then brag about it by posting a picture on Facebook.

Random Ridiculousness: Woman Tricked Boyfriend And Entire Canadian Town Into Believing She Was Pregnant With Quintuplets

Wtf?

Woman Tricked People Into Believing She Was Pregnant With Quintuplets

How much baby formula and diapers did she think she would get before the jig was up?

According to CTV News:

A Quebec woman convinced an entire town she was pregnant with quintuplets — but she wasn’t.

The woman had told her boyfriend she was pregnant about a month after they met on an online dating site. At first, she said she was expecting twins. Then it changed to triplets and then quadruplets.

The community of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu rallied around the expectant couple and the expecting father created a Facebook page to keep family and community members up to date.

Geneviève Laflamme, a mother of triplets herself, befriended the future mother. Laflamme says she began to suspect something wasn’t right when she noticed holes in the woman’s story. Then, a week before the woman’s purported due date, she told Laflamme she had undergone another ultrasound that revealed there were actually five babies inside her. Laflamme didn’t buy it.

But Facebook followers of the mother showered the couple with gifts and offers of help.The whole story fell apart Tuesday when the woman’s boyfriend took her to hospital for her delivery at 34 weeks.

A nurse took Paul aside and informed him his girlfriend was not pregnant at all and had either faked or imagined the whole thing. The woman is currently undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, which is why CTV News has decided not to identify her.

It’s good she’s getting her head examined. Her elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.

Really??? Belgian Newspaper Depicts President And First Lady Obama As Kush-Selling Apes

Belgian Newspaper Depicts President Obama And Wife Michelle As Apes

A Belgian newspaper is rightfully facing a slew of backlash after the publication printed an image of President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama depicted as apes on the cover of their latest issue.

Nigerian-born author Chika Unigwe ignited the discussion over the image by tweeting it earlier this week before later suggesting that African-America residents in Belgium “don’t have a voice.”

ChikaTweet

The De Morgan newspaper has since “apologized” for running the image, insisting that it was meant to project satirical undertones about President Obama selling drugs…and being a monkey…rather than racist ones.

Oh.

According to the Huffington Post, one reader even defended the photo, saying the publication is known for its’ use of satirical images and that “there are [also] tons upon tons of pictures and t-shirts with Bush drawn as an ape.”  Be that as it may, we have not an ounce of doubt that the person responsible for running the image was well aware that it would be perceived as racist.

These people need to keep their “sorry, not sorry” style-apologies and just do better. Or expect to get dragged. The end.

A Lil Positivity: 18 Year-Old Black Football Star Plays 9 Instruments And Receives 150 Scholarships Offers!

This young man is incredible!

Football Star Plays 9 Instruments And Receives 150 Scholarships Offers

Via The Root reports:

It’s good to have options. And if you’re Chad Thomas, a senior at Booker T. Washington Senior High in Miami, you have a ton of options.

Thomas, 18, has received 150 scholarship offers for his football skills and his abilities as a nine-instrument musician, 10 News Tampa Bay reports.

Thomas, who helped the Booker T. Tornadoes win back-to-back state championships and also a national title this season, told the news station that he has chosen to attend the University of Miami and will play football but will also work on his music at the university’s Frost School of Music.

It was Thomas’s late grandmother who inspired his love for music. As a young boy, he would listen to his grandmother’s gospel CDs. Then she bought him a guitar and signed him up for piano lessons. By the time he was 5, Thomas was performing, 10 News reports.

Thomas plays the piano, trombone, euphonium (a small tuba), bass guitar, regular guitar, snare, tuba, trumpet and drums, and he has no plans of abandoning music even if someday the NFL comes calling.

“So if I make it to the NFL, that would be a blessing for me,” said Thomas. But his love for music remains a passion. “I have love for music and took it upon myself to learn and play the instruments I hear in the songs.”

And if he had to choose between the NFL and music?

“It would probably be music,” said Thomas.

What an amazing and inspiring young man! It appears his grandmother helped to nurture his talents with a guitar and piano lessons. Congratulations to this teen, we’ll be looking out for him in the future!
