People Slam Michelle Obama As 'Ape In Heels' 'Ugly Black B*tch' And “Ghetto” Leading To Trouble

 
Michelle Obama (why is she always giving people the stink face LOL)

A number of people on social networking and in blogosphere feedback sections have been slamming U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, labeling her “ugly.” Twitter and Facebook are strewn with comments repeatedly calling her "ugly." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but some of the comments resulted in people losing their jobs, when they took on a racial tone. You can use words to refer to someone as unattractive, but when you start referring to them in a negative manner and including their race, whether they are black, white, Hispanic, Asian or Indian, it is construed as hate speech. 

For example, a white loan officer, Lisa Greenwood, slammed Michelle Obama on Twitter stating, "Beautiful?? Seriously she is an ugly black b–tch." She was fired for her comments, when people on Twitter complained to her employer. If Greenwood had referred to her as an "ugly b***h" she likely would not have been fired. Adding the word "black" to the insult, created the grounds for termination of employment. Nonetheless, Greenwood may have a case, as her comments are covered by free speech. However, if she signed a morality clause upon taking the job, the case would not be successful, as she made a racial comment and swore online.

 
This hairstyle was better for Michelle Obama

A police man in Alabama lost his job over a post he made on Facebook about Mrs. Obama. Police officer Joel Husk responded to a question asking if Mrs. Obama spoke any foreign languages, to which he replied she is, "Fluent in ghetto." The comment had a racial undertone to it and he was subsequently fired from the Talladega Police Force for "violating the city's code of conduct and the social media policy." Said code of conduct acts as a morality clause, so he has very little if no legal recourse.    

West Virginia mayor, Beverly Whaling, was forced to resign from her post after agreeing with the social networking comment of her friend, Clay County Development Corporation director, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, who stated of in-coming First Lady Melania Trump, wife of President-elect Donald Trump, "It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a Ape in heels. Mayor Whaling responded, "Just made my day Pam." 

 
Michelle Obama

Once again, this comment became actionable because it contained the racially tinged word "ape" in reference to a black person. Mayor Whaling agreed with the comment, which resulted in her being forced out of her job. Had the comment not had the word "ape" it would not have taken on a racial tone and been permissible, albeit, insulting.

A black woman on Twitter, who goes by the name of Chocolate Girl 6 made negative comments about Mrs. Obama's looks and some of the First Lady's supporters began to harass her, "I love her but Michelle Obama ain’t that cute if we keeping it a buck. That underbite makes me squint." 

 
 
Michelle Obama and Barack Obama. This outfit, shoes and hairstyle did not flatter Mrs. Obama's looks. A longer dress with those shoes or different shoes would have been better, as well as not wearing her hair pulled back. This was not her best look and when you are in the public eye people will make comments online about it. 

Once again, she is another person entitled to their opinion. However, people are not entitled to harass her for it. She did not send her comment to Mrs. Obama's account on Twitter harassing the First Lady. Many people do not view Mrs. Obama as the model type and have been critical of her looks. That's their right. 

You can't go around harassing people online by directing comments to their accounts bashing and threatening them over their opinion. What she said was not hate speech. You can tell people you don't agree with their assessment, but when you start sending profanity and threats over their opinion, you are in violation of the terms of service.

 
Once again Michelle Obama's hair looks better down than in a bun...and whoever is doing her eyebrows needs a beatdown

One of the things I have noticed is the Obama's are censorship dictators. They get angry when anyone utters or writes anything that is less than glowing about them. They can't deal with criticism and lash out. Many bloggers and journalists have complained of this. The Obamas behavior in this regard is not in keeping with the spirit of the Constitution, regarding free speech and free press. 

There are some who think Mr. and Mrs. Obama are attractive and there are others who think they are ugly. I don't find him attractive nor do I like him and I think she would benefit from more flattering clothing choices, as well as braces (speaking as someone who's had braces for a minor dental flaw).

 
Michelle Obama (giving everyone the stink face expression again)

Some like the First Couple's looks and others do not. That's life. However, it is disgraceful to go around misusing government resources to threaten and punish people who publicly do not agree with or like you. This is what the Obamas have done via their press office and through companies such as Google Ads, which is completely juvenile, petty, vindictive, disturbing and unconstitutional.  

Hey, some people don't like me (mostly stupid people with bad taste) and you don't see me complaining to social media and blog websites every five minutes trying to get their accounts taken offline, because at the end of the day I am secure within myself and know I'm smarter and better looking than they are (LOL). I'm just teasing, but you get my point.

Alabama police officer fired over racist Facebook post saying Michelle Obama is 'fluent in ghetto' 

Published: 20:03 EST, 19 November 2016 | Updated: 20:21 EST, 19 November 2016 - An Alabama police officer has been fired after sharing what many consider to be racist memes, including on about Michelle Obama, on his personal Facebook page. Talladega Police Officer Joel Husk was terminated on Wednesday from the police department in the city, Talladega City Manager Patrick Bryant said. 

Husk shared a meme on his page showing pictures of Melania Trump with the words, 'Fluent in Slovenian, English, French,Serbian and German' and another photo of Michelle Obama with the words 'Fluent in Ghetto.' Another post Husk, 37, shared showed a photo from the Facebook group 'Last American Patriots'. 

In 2014 a gay Univision television, Rodner Figueroa, host stated Mrs. Obama resembled one of the animals in the movie "Planet of the Apes." Calling black people "ape" or "monkey" is considered a racial slur in America. Mrs. Obama was offended by his comments and personally had him fired. 
That post showed bodies lying on an apparent battlefield with the caption, 'Over 620,000 white people died to free black slaves and still to this day not even 1 thank you,' according to Bryant. Husk was fired for sharing a racist meme (above) showing a photo of Michelle Obama with the words 'Fluent in Ghetto', as he violated the city's code of conduct and the social media policy... 


Michelle Obama Gets Woman Fired For Calling Her Ugly

Loan officer gets fired for racist tweet about Michelle Obama

Posted By: News Desk July 28, 2016 - Lisa Greenwood took to Twitter after Michelle Obamas speech at the Democratic National Convention and it ended up costing her job. "Beautiful?? Seriously she is an ugly black b**ch," Greenwood posted about the First Lady, and that was where it went downhill for the loan officer. 

Because Greenwood uses her actual name on her Twitter account, some social media trolls were able to track down her Facebook page, and from there, they stalked her and figured out where she works. Greenwood was a loan officer for Home Point Financial until Home Point Financial was mentioned in all sorts of tweets as liberals came out in force against Greenwood, asking Home Point Financial if they would continue to employ a ‘racist’ in their ranks.

An unnamed source at her former employer asserted that Home point Financial was contacted by the first lady’s office and ultimately Greenwood was fired from her job.

The first lady’s office declined to comment. This is not the first time Michelle Obama has had someone fired for criticizing her looks, in 2014 an openly gay Univision host who compared Michelle Obama to characters in the movie “Planet of the Apes” alleged that he was fired after the network received a complaint from the White House.


West Virginia mayor resigns after backlash over racist Facebook post describing Michelle Obama as an 'Ape in heels'

Published: 19:33 EST, 15 November 2016 | Updated: 06:53 EST, 16 November 2016 - A West Virginia mayor has resigned following backlash over a racist Facebook post about Michelle Obama. Mayor Beverly Whaling's resignation was accepted on Tuesday afternoon by the Clay Town Council after she posted a response to a racist comment about the First Lady shortly after Donald Trump was elected president. 

'It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a Ape in heels,' wrote Clay County Development Corporation director Pamela Ramsey Taylor. Whaling responded: 'Just made my day Pam.' Clay mayor Beverly Whaling from West Virginia resigned on Tuesday following backlash over a racist Facebook post about Michelle Obama...


Woman Learns the Hard Way Not to Call First Lady Michelle Obama ‘Ugly’

October 20, 2016 - After Michelle Obama’s new photoshoot images spread online, many praised the first lady’s appearance. However, one Twitter user took issue with Obama’s T Magazine pictures. “I love her but Michelle Obama ain’t that cute if we keeping it a buck,” user Chocolate Girl 6 wrote. “That underbite makes me squint.” 

The photos feature up-close shots of Obama. The Harvard alum is seen in a full-face of makeup and sleek hair. Upon the release of the images, Twitter became flooded with endearing messages for the stylish 52-year-old. But Chocolate Girl disagreed. After she voiced her opinion, it spurred an outpouring of judgment from other Twitter users. 


White Woman Fired For Calling Michelle Obama An ‘Ugly Black Bi**h’ 

July 27, 2016 - When Michelle Obama gave her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, liberals swooned at her eloquence and beauty. Yeah, I know lefties are dangerously delusional. Somewhere a white woman was watching and was much less impressed with the First Lady. On social media this woman wrote that she thought FLOTUS was an “ugly black bi**h” and now she is out of a job. 

Lisa Greenwood was sick and tired of liberals saying how beautiful Michelle is so she wrote this in a now-deleted tweet: "Beautiful?? Seriously she is an ugly black bi**h." Social media social justice warriors took great offense with this and contacted Greenwood’s employer. I’m sure you know what happened next. Home Point Financial issued this statement: 

The individual who made reprehensible comments regarding last night’s speech by the First lady is no longer employed with Home Point Financial. Home Point Financial does not agree with nor condone such comments, which were made on the individual’s Twitter account. We hold true to our We Care philosophy – our responsibilities extend beyond the workplace and into the communities. 

So Greenwood made this comment on Monday night and by Tuesday she was fired. That’s some mighty fast turnaround, but liberal outrage is a fast moving brushfire. The thing is, this woman has a killer unlawful termination lawsuit, and here’s why: she didn’t say anything that wasn’t 100% true...


Michelle Obama Just Embarrassed America In A Huge Way – Horrible!

August 3, 2016 - People are talking about the dress First Lady Michelle Obama just wore at the White House State dinner for the nation of Singapore. It’s definitely raising eyebrows. The strapless gown was designed by Brandon Maxwell, who is also the stylist for Lady Gaga. Michelle wore it while dining with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife Ho Ching. These gowns cost as much as $7,000 and perhaps more… and the taxpayers received the bill! 

As WND reports: The First Lady wore an ivory-colored Brandon Maxwell dress, according to a White House pool report. The New York-based designer is a favorite of Lady Gaga’s, and he recently helped Iman celebrate her birthday. Maxwell was overseas Tuesday night, but said via e-mail, “It has been an incredible honor for me and my team to create this dress for the First Lady. Strong and elegant, she is the embodiment of the woman that inspires me to create, and a role model for women all over the world.” 

Earlier Tuesday during a tour of the National Gallery of Art with Mrs. Lee, FLOTUS wore a sunflower-colored sleeveless Naeem Khan dress. Khan said via e-mail Tuesday that the dress was designed “with the idea of something similar to a dress in my resort 2017 collection. We chose a flattering sleeveless and A-line style for quintessential summer entertaining, in yellow Guipure lace, with three-dimensional flowers.”

Video Shows Marijuana Smoking Obama Complaining White People Are Superior In His Country Of Kenya (Video)

An old video recorded in Kenya has surfaced of U.S. President Barack Obama, on vacation in his twenties stating, “I am saddened whites are still superior.” This was a very poor way to express the disparities in Kenya. It makes Obama sound like he has an inferiority complex.


Obama smoking weed and chatting out of his butt

To this day, Obama still has issues with white people. Obama has repeatedly exhibited that he has a chip on his shoulder concerning white people. Obama’s father taught him these prejudices. It is supremely hypocritical as Obama’s late mother is white. I believe you address racism as you see it when it surfaces from someone. However, you don’t make blanket comments about everyone, as not all white people are racist. God made us all equal. He does not favor one race over another. People need to forsake the superiority and inferiority complex. We are all equal.

Never Before Seen Video – Obama on Race: “I am saddened that whites are still superior….things could explode”

President whines about white privilege in newly uncovered 1990 footage

Paul Joseph Watson - October 4, 2016 - Never before seen video provided exclusively to Infowars shows President Barack Obama complaining about white privilege during a 1990 trip to Kenya. The footage, filmed and narrated by Obama’s sister Auma, shows the president on his first trip to Kenya as a young man in his 20s. Michelle Obama also accompanied her husband on the trip. 

Crowdfunding platform WeSearchr provided the video exclusively to Infowars. Obama says in the film: “I’m deeply saddened by a sense that whites are still superior in this country, in some sense, that if you sit at a restaurant, they’re served before a Kenyan is served. If you go through customs, a white person is going to have an easier time going through customs.” 

Obama also warns that “things could explode at any point” as a result of the resentment black Kenyans have towards white people. At one point in the movie Obama says he has “a lot at stake” in building “a strong black country in Kenya.” Elsewhere, the footage shows white and Asian tourists visiting poor Kenyan villagers, a sight that offends Obama, who refused to join them on the tour according to his sister. 

“These strangers move about our country as a matter of course, with disturbing confidence,” she states in the video, complaining that her people “are being exhibited” for the entertainment of the tourists. Obama’s 1990 comments are fascinating given the fact that his presidency has been tainted by some of the worst race relations in America for decades, fueled by police shootings and riots in Ferguson, Baltimore and Charlotte.

Hillary Clinton Having Trouble Getting The Black Youth Vote In 2016 Presidential Election (New York Times)


Hillary Clinton 

As a consequence of incendiary, defamatory and stereotypical comments U.S. presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, made about black males being “super predators” and revealing her husband’s administration in the 1990s must “bring them to heel” she is now having trouble getting the black youth vote in the 2016 election.

An article in the mainstream newspaper the New York Times reveals Clinton’s struggle for the black youth vote, as many do not trust her over the mass incarceration of African-Americans in the 1990s under husband Bill Clinton’s administration. Millions of young black males were locked up in America's prison system, many of whom young voters are related to in some measure.

Young Blacks Voice Skepticism on Hillary Clinton, Worrying Democrats

SEPT. 4, 2016 - WASHINGTON — When a handful of liberal advocacy organizations convened a series of focus groups with young black voters last month, the assessments of Donald J. Trump were predictably unsparing. But when the participants were asked about Hillary Clinton, their appraisals were just as blunt and nearly as biting.

“What am I supposed to do if I don’t like him and I don’t trust her?” a millennial black woman in Ohio asked. “Choose between being stabbed and being shot? No way!”

“She was part of the whole problem that started sending blacks to jail,” a young black man, also from Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clinton. “He’s a racist, and she is a liar, so really what’s the difference in choosing both or choosing neither?” another young black woman from Ohio said.

Social Networking Slams Disparities In Treatment Between Ryan Lochte And Gabby Douglas


Gabby Douglas
 
This incident has caused many on social networking to question if what is known as "white privilege" came into play. Many on Twitter stated some people are making excuses for the criminal behavior of 32-year-old swimmer Ryan Lochte because he is a "white male" while African-American female gymnast, Gabby Douglas, broke no law in Rio, yet has been mercilessly and inappropriately slammed by select individuals on social networking over her hair being frizzy and not putting her hand over her heart during the national anthem.


Ryan Lochte
 
In 2012, I wrote about the unjustifiable, race based, verbal and written abuse some directed at Gabby, who was only 16-years-old at the time. People made racist comments about her hair being kinky and compared her to a monkey, a racial term when applied to blacks (it means idiocy and mimicking when applied to whites). Some people came back and did this mess again 4-years later slamming her during the 2016 Olympics as well. 


Gabby Douglas
 
It has to be dispiriting for an athlete to be so cruelly criticized while representing their nation, when they are doing the best they can. When there are racial undertones and overtones, it's even worse. That's probably why she didn't put her hand over her heart during the anthem and has looked depressed during the games. You're out there representing your country and your getting cruelly insulted online by select racist individuals over your naturally frizzy hair (by the way, there's nothing wrong with her hair). 

 

Gabby Douglas
 
Some people need to do better on social networking. And sadly, though many Americans sent supportive comments to Gabby on social networking, select people posted hateful, racist things and Gabby's mother stated her daughter saw them online and became dejected. Douglas is an accomplished, pretty young woman and deserves respect for the discipline she has mastered and representing her country. 99.9% of the population did not make it to the Olympics as Olympians (and people better be glad I didn't make it on the gymnastics balance beam, because disaster would have struck LOL #BlackWomanDown)      

Tweets from Twitter.com on the scandal:

White Male Privilege Is Why We Laugh At Lochte And Vilify Douglas
 
Pay close attention to the words being used to describe them
 
08/18/2016 04:15 pm ET - Ryan Lochte and Gabby Douglas: A tale of two Olympic “scandals.” Gymnast Gabby Douglas “disrespected” her entire country by not putting her hand on her heart and smiling enough during the Olympics. Swimmer Ryan Lochte is a “kid” who deserves “a break” for allegedly destroying property and lying about a traumatic robbery. If you were wondering what white, male privilege looks like, this is it. 

Insulting how Gabby Douglas(20) was being told she needs to fix her attitude in Rio, but #LochteGate and crew are all “kids” who got rowdy. — Lea (@_MissLeandra) August 18, 2016.  

To back up: On Sunday, it was reported that Lochte and three other U.S. swimmers were robbed at gunpoint in Rio, with specifics of the robbery coming from Lochte himself and his mother, Ileana Lochte. Since then, multiple pieces of evidence have emerged that suggest the story was fabricated, something that Lochte’s teammates Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger reportedly confirmed to Brazilian authorities after being detained in the country. (Basically, it seems that an international incident may have started over the fact that Lochte didn’t want to admit to his mother that he and his friends had drunkenly caused damage to a gas station bathroom, and then gotten into a belligerent altercation with the security guard.) 

The general reaction to what has been dubbed #LochteGate was initial confusion, a lot of spot-on jokes, and eventually a measured dose of criticism and a plea from Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada to “give these kids a break” because “sometimes you take actions that you later regret.”
 
It didn’t take long for people to point to the cognitive dissonance between the compassionate, light-hearted response to Lochte, Bentz, Conger and fourth swimmer Jimmy Feigen’s drunken actions, and the widespread online vilification gymnast Gabby Douglas experienced just a week prior. 

Douglas, who is just 20 years old, failed to put her hand on her heart during the national anthem, and did not style her hair and/or face to every individual’s liking. For those “crimes,” she was widely criticized for being “disprespectful,” “unpatriotic” and “un-American,” and called words that we’d rather not repeat in this piece. Lochte and friends reportedly defiled a gas station restroom, fought with a security officer, lied to national news sources, and may have filed a false police report. And the four of them get to be framed as talented “kids” (reminder: Lochte is 32) having one debaucherous night of fun... 

Gabby Douglas was destroyed for hand placement. He pisses on a business and blames a country, and people are making excuses. #LochteGate — Anthony Dominic (@tmzanthony) August 18, 2016 

Gabby was verbally stoned on social media for not putting her hand over her heart but people are making excuses for #LochteGate — Joshua Thicklin (@JoshThicklin53) August 18, 2016 

is it just me or did people seem a lot more upset about Gabby Douglas not raising her hand to pledge than Ryan Lochte lying to police? — #1 Rachel (@rachel) August 18, 2016

Let me gets this straight - Gabby Douglas hates America but #LochteGate was just a bunch of kids having fun? Hmmmm — Sade Diana Sellers (@sadesellers) August 18, 2016

This isn’t to say that Lochte and his teammates should be publicly vilified. But when the benefit of the doubt is given freely to white men when they mess up ― even in cases like this one where they actually may have broken the law ― and yet withheld from others, it perpetuates entrenched systems of racism and sexism. 

What if Lochte had been a woman (of any race) who falsely accused a man of robbing and attacking her? If Ryan Lochte lied about that robbery, how  can we ever believe any man’s allegations of robbery? — WendyBrandes (@WendyBrandes) August 18, 2016

What if Lochte had been a man of color? If Black athletes pulled that #LochteGate stunt, the headlines would read “Black Lives Matter Thugs Caused Terror At The Olympics” — Tariq Nasheed (@tariqnasheed) August 18, 2016 

These “what ifs” are important, and the resulting thought experiments are telling. White men exist in a world that prioritizes their potential, gives them the benefit of the doubt and assumes their actions are mostly benevolent ― or at the very least, harmless. Women, especially women of color, don’t have that luxury. Just ask Gabby Douglas.

School In New York Teaches White Students That White People Are Born Racist



A young white girl gives a piece of birthday cake to her local garbage man, who is black, illustrating the innocence of a child on matters of race.


A school in New York has come under fire for teaching young students that white people are born racist. Teachers at the Bank Street School for Children in New York are engaging in inappropriate behavior by scolding young white students over their race, while singling out black pupils for special treatment. This is not the way to run a school. Students should be treated the same and taught we are all equal. 

To state white people are born racist is wrong. I do not think it is a fair or accurate characterization. It is a stereotype. There is definitely racism out there. However, there are many decent white people who are not racist. It is not fair to make such sweeping and negative generalizations about an entire race. No one is born negative and racist. We learn to make choices, good or bad, that define who we are as people.

Private Manhattan School Teaches White Kids They Are Born Racists


Jul. 1, 2016 10:56pm - Instructors at one private K-8 school in Manhattan are teaching their white students they are born racist, training them to feel guilty for benefiting from “white privilege,” while offering praise and benefits to their black counterparts. Administrators at the Bank Street School for Children on the Upper West Side told the New York Post it is their way of addressing discrimination, adding that many other private New York institutions are implementing similar practices, but many are pushing back against the method — including liberal parents.

The school of 430 students is separating white children from their black peers and putting them in classes where they are forced to feel horrible about their “whiteness.” At the same time, all the “kids of color” are put in other rooms where they are instructed to feel proud about their race and their pride is reinforced with treats and special privileges...

Beyonce Alienates The White Segment Of Her Fanbase With Militant Super Bowl Performance Leading To Social Networking Complaints And Planned Protest At NFL Headquarters In New York



Beyonce and dancers dressed as Black Panthers

Attention seeking singer, Beyonce, has run afoul of the white segment of her audience, with a militant Super Bowl performance, where she and her dancers dressed as Black Panthers and slammed the police. While America has a serious problem with police brutality targeting blacks and other minorities such as Hispanics, Beyonce's video "Formation" and Super Bowl performance has come across as slamming officers in general. That does not help the problem. The issue of police brutality in America needs to be addressed via legislation, not revenge and militancy (Congress Needs To Enact Legislative Guidelines Regarding Police Brutality).


Beyonce's dancers and her mom backstage at the Super Bowl doing the black power salute associated with the Black Panthers

I do not agree with white supremacy and I do not agree with black militancy either. Furthermore, why inject race matters and in such an aggressive way, into the Super Bowl. A large number of athletes in the NFL are black. The organization has given black people a chance and many have become stars and millionaires, with the same privileges as white athletes, all doing what they love.


Beyonce stumbled backwards and nearly fell during her Super Bowl 

As a result of Beyonce's militant Super Bowl performance, a protest is scheduled for outside the NFL's offices in New York. People on Twitter and Facebook are also complaining in a massive way about Beyonce's "race baiting." The National Sheriff's Association also turned their backs on her Super Bowl performance.


Beyonce and her backup dancers as Black Panthers

Taking the Black Panther stance, that of an activist group originating in the 1960s, who openly hate white people, is not acceptable. I do not agree with hatred. It's not good being a white racist and it's not good being a black racist either. Hate creating more hate and trying to fight hate with hate is not the answer. I prefer the example of the late, great Martin Luther King Jr., an American preacher who so wonderfully and eloquently preached equality and harmony among the races. God bless his soul. People should learn from King's example.

Side Bar: Beyonce's militant black stance and feminist claims are hypocritical as heck, considering she criminally steals more copyrights from black singers, songwriters and producers than any other black artist in the world. She also steals from white artists, songwriters and producers (yet is now slamming white people). It's also ironic she is taking this militant stance, while wearing a  European blonde wig, pale face powder and sporting a nose job to make her nose look less full and African.

Congress Needs To Intervene In Flint, Michigan With An Emergency Clean Water Bill


Michigan Governor Rick Snyder

The U.S. Government is once again showing the nation and the world it does not care about black people. The largely African-American city of Flint, Michigan, home to 55,000 residents, has been has been subjected to lead poisoning in drinking and bathing water. Many people have died and others sickened by the lead poisoning.

The citizens of Flint have complained about the brown colored, toxic water for years and nothing has been done about. The  governor of the state, Rick Snyder, has pledge to fix the problem, but is refusing to fix the corroded, lead contaminated pipes, despite a state surplus of $1.2 billion dollars.


Flint, Michigan  
 
Congress should have immediately approved emergency funds through a bill to address the problem, then take the money back from the State of Michigan's surplus. It is a serious crisis that will impact the resident of Flint who have been exposed to the contaminants for years to come. The cancer rates will soar in Flint. Neurological disorders will also become more prominent in the area. 

When you buy a home, if it is discovered the property had lead paint, a specialist team, who are dressed in hazmat gear, will come out to the residence, carefully prep it and gingerly remove all the lead paint, careful not to drop any of it in surrounding areas, then package it all for proper disposal. They don't even allow themselves to be exposed to it. Now think about the fact the residents of Flint have been drinking and bathing in these terrible toxins for 2-years. It is a real human crisis that needs to be swiftly addressed and those responsible held to account in a court of law.

Is One Race Superior To Others


I do not believe God created any one race smarter or stronger than another. I am of the belief God created us all as equals. We are what we become through faith and our efforts. I have been privileged to witness amazing and inspiring feats in the areas of science, medicine, education, the arts and sports, from people of many races and nationalities. I have met brilliant people from many nations, who are of different races.

The one common denominator I've found in people who have accomplished truly amazing things is not their race or nationality, but the hard work they put into what they do and not giving up when setbacks or failures occur. That is the true mark of greatness - faith and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Is It Wrong To Appropriate Someone Else's Culture


Braids can be worn by anyone

I've read items on social networking by famous and non-famous black people, complaining about white people appropriating black culture in music, films and hairstyles. As long as it is respectful, I don't see the problem with it. If a white person wants to rap, sing R&B music and or wear a curly wig or braids, so what. There's nothing wrong with that.

Black women who wear weaves and extensions are appropriating white culture, as the hair textures, styles and hair colors are based on and from European hair. Once again, there's nothing wrong with that. It's your hair, because you bought it (LOL). At the end of the day, people need to be accepting of other races. God made us all and we're all beautiful.

Side Bar: On twitter people joke black people like KFC and white people like Starbucks. I'm black and I like KFC and Starbucks. I was going through my closet recently and found a pair of Uggs I'd bought online (this was after making an innocuous Uggs joke on Twitter). My point, people should embrace what they like regardless of what stereotypes state.

South Carolina’s Racism Problem


Dylann Roof of South Carolina, standing before Confederate flags, began voicing and writing hateful, violent, racist statements, then acted on in murdering 9 black people in a Charleston church
 
The U.S. state of South Carolina has a problem with racism. The Charleston church massacre, where 9 innocent black churchgoers were shot to death by white supremacist, Dylann Roof, is more proof of this fact (9 Black People Shot To Death In A Historic Charleston Church In Hate Crime Perpetrated By A White Supremacist).

One of my brothers went to university in South Carolina in the 1990s and spoke of problems with racism that exists there, which he had not seen in other regions of America. My brother rarely spoke about such things. Therefore, for him to have stated that says a lot. In the Madonna case, one of her hackers, Randy Vaughn, who emailed me a death threat under a fake name from a fake email address, referred to me as a “deranged n*gger” in the hateful, hostile missive, for stating the queen of copyright infringement stole my copyrights (as she has done to hundreds of other copyright holders).

What is going on in South Carolina that there exists such a seething hatred for black people, with individuals in the state making death threats against blacks, with some even acting on them, as seen in the aforementioned church massacre. The Confederate flag, a symbol of racism, is blowing in the wind all over South Carolina, with government officials of all people, resisting requests to take them down. This issue has gone on for many years, with many people demanding the Confederate flag’s removal, but to this day it is still there spitting in black people’s faces.

Darren Wilson Resigns From His Job As A Police Officer In Ferguson And Will Not Receive Severance Pay In The Killing Of Teen Mike Brown (Video)


In all of the government's pleas for peace and calm after the questionable grand jury verdict in Ferguson, Missouri, that moved not to indict police officer, Darren Wilson, in the shooting death of teen Mike Brown, no one bothered to tell him not to go on television and inflame the situation with his callous words. Wilson did a cocky interview where he stated he would do the same thing again in killing Brown, whom he labeled a "demon." Wilson showed a complete lack of remorse in Brown's murder. He made the situation that much worse. Wilson has now resigned and will receive no severance pay according to the local mayor.

 

Darren Wilson

Well respected forensic pathologist, Michael Baden concluded, six shots was excessive in subduing an alleged aggressor. To this day we don't truly know what happened or what was said that led to the confrontation between Wilson and Brown because people can say anything they want to when the primary witness is dead. 

 

Mike Brown

However, we do know this in looking at the facts - an unarmed teenager was shot 6 TIMES and that is excessive force and police brutality. This was and is deserving of a prison sentence. Wilson did not have to kill Brown. Wilson did not have to shoot him that many times. It was not an accident. It was a deliberate execution under a hail of bullets that need not be repeated again. For every decent cop who does their job well, Wilson has made it that much harder for them and damaged race relations as well. Worst of all, a family has lost their son.

Nelson Mandela's Memorial Is A Beautiful Picture Of Blacks And Whites United In Remembrance

 

U.S. President Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela memorial

Heads of state from all around the world gathered in South Africa for the memorial service of former South African President and civil rights hero Nelson Mandela. Following the rich South African tradition, the crowds celebrated his life, viewing his passing as a monumental moment transitioning from one life to another in heaven. 

 

Crowds at the Mandela memorial

To see blacks and whites side by side celebrating the life and legacy of Mandela is beautiful. It is confirmation of how far South Africa has come as a nation. They must not fear the future, but carry on the rich legacy Mandela left behind, regarding loving one another and viewing each other as equals.

Italy's First Black Government Minister Racially Abused Via Death Threats, Blood Covered Mannequins And Bananas Being Thrown At Her


Cecile Kyenge

Italy's Integration government minister, Cecile Kyenge, the first black person to hold the post, was subjected to cruel racial abuse and hatred, as bananas were thrown at her - a slur for black people. The incident occurred last week during a speech at a rally, where Kyenge, born in Congo, Kyenge, was pelted with fruit by racists, angry about immigration from North Africa to Italy.

Blood covered mannequins were also left outside her office as apart of a death threat. It is regrettable that in this day and age, some are still intolerant regarding matters of race. Skin color does not make anyone superior or inferior. We are all equal as human beings.

Cheerios Cereal Commercial With Interracial Family Causes Uproar Among Racists (Video)



Cheerios released an adorable, stunning commercial featuring an interracial family, comprised of a white mom, a black dad and their mixed race child. The Judiciary Report likes the commercial. It's touching and reflective of the millions of mixed raced families in our world today.


However, some racists did not like the commercial and took to You Tube to post mean racist slurs. That was so unnecessary. There is nothing wrong with mixed race relationships. Let people love who they want to love and leave them be.

'Big Rich Atlanta' Is 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Lite But With More Fighting


Ashlee Wilson

Style Network's new reality show "Big Rich Atlanta" is like "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" in terms of locale and conflict between the stars of the show. It stars five spoiled young women in their late twenties, along with their long suffering, affluent mothers. To pull in ratings they have resorted to fights and hair (well, weave) pulling.


 The most recent episode even had a mean racial tinge to it. Cast mates Ashlee Wilson, who is white and Kahdijiha Rowe, who is black started arguing and fighting at the former’s 28th birthday bash. Ashlee came over to Kahdijiha and began insulting her. Ashlee referred to Kahdijiha as a "fat black girl." Kahdijiha then called Ashlee a "ugly white girl."


Ashlee Wilson and Kahdijiha Rowe

Ashlee kept repeating the "fat" taunts forcefully grabbing Kahdijiha’s hip and stomach in a facetious manner, upsetting her. Ashlee then forcefully reached towards Kahdijiha again, who was holding a drink and the contents spilled in an upward direction. This enraged Kahdijiha, who lunged at Ashlee.


Kahdijiha Rowe

The two women began fighting. Kahdijiha pulled out some of Ashlee’s extensions and her real hair leaving her with a couple small bald spots, tore her clothes and scratched her on her neck. Kahdijiha didn’t seem to sustain any injuries in the fight. Ashlee called the police to file a complaint.


Ashlee after the fight with scratch on her neck and less hair/weave

First of all, the fight was totally unnecessary. Secondly, neither woman needed to bring race into the picture either. It was uncalled for. With the way both women use a lot of hair extensions (seriously, leave some weave for everyone else) there were so many weave jokes that could have been made, rather than mean personal comments accompanied by racial mentions. Thirdly, why did Kahdijiha accept an invite to Ashlee’s party when they are constantly arguing with and insulting each other.


Ashlee's bald spots after the fight

It became so ridiculous another cast mate stated to Rowe, after Wilson came up to her picking a fight, "You told her to leave her own party." Ashlee didn’t find any of it funny in the end, as she stated of Kahdijiha, "She assaulted me." Yea, but you started the fight. It’s always a good idea to keep one’s hands to one’s self. Taunting someone, invading their personal space, calling them fat, while grabbing at and poking the alleged fat could be considered a mild assault as well.

Django Unchained Causing Offense Among Black People For Its Repetitive Use Of The N-Word

 
Django Unchained
 
Director Quentin Tarantino, who reads this site, is being slammed for his latest movie "Django Unchained" which is a slave film that repetitively uses the n-word, much to the offense of black people. Tarantino, who uses extreme violence and crudeness in his film, is being criticized for going to far in a racial matter.

African-American filmmaker Spike Lee denounced the film, calling it an offense to his ancestors. While I have not seen the film, I'm not comfortable with any movie repetitively using the n-word. It doesn't contain shock value, just offense. Releasing it on Christmas Day was a bad touch as well.

Justin Bieber Labeled A Racist In His Native Canada Over Comments He Made In Interview



Justin Bieber 
 
18-year-old pop star Justin Bieber has gotten himself into trouble in his native Canada. While attempting to show he is culturally diverse, the pop star was labeled a racist over a comment he made in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in America. 

Bieber stated, "I'm actually part Indian. I think Inuit or something. I'm enough percent that in Canada I can get free gas." The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples are slamming his remarks as racist. A representative of the organization, Betty Ann Lavallee,  stated of Bieber's comments, "These kinds of remarks promote the misconception that we are somehow getting a free ride."

Photo Opines What If Trayvon Martin Had Been White?


Would He Have Been Treated Differently


Doctored image shows Trayvon Martin (left) as a blonde hair, blue-eyed, white teen, as opposed to African-American. It also shows his killer, George Zimmerman, who is a white Hispanic, as a black male with dark skin.

A photo designed to make people think about their prejudices, flipped roles in the Trayvon Martin murder case, where the 17-year-old African American boy was murdered by a half white, half Hispanic vigilante, George Zimmerman, who stated the teen looked "suspicious." Martin was in compliance with the law. Zimmerman was not.

Trayvon Martin ((left) and George Zimmerman (right)

The photo reversed roles, making Martin white and Zimmerman black, with some believing, had it indeed been that way in real life, Zimmerman would have been arrested immediately for the killing. Due to Zimmerman frequently calling 911 to report suspicious "black males" some as young as age 7, which says it all about his prejudices and paranoia, some believe had Martin been white, he would still be alive today. Sad, but true.

7 Black Teens Beat Up A Hispanic Teen In A Regrettable Retaliatory Incident Allegedly Over George Zimmerman

George Zimmerman

7 black school boys beat up a Hispanic boy in California and were arrested for the crime. This incident is being attributed to half Hispanic, half white, George Zimmerman, 28, murdering defensless17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, in an incident of racial profiling.

Trayvon Martin and dad Tracy Martin

Violence is not the answer to the Martin case. It already claimed one innocent life. Starting a race war will solve nothing. Once again, George Zimmerman, represents George Zimmerman and no one else in his ethnic background. There are whites and Hispanics, who are not racist or violent. Do not let Zimmerman's crimes color your view of others.

The Retreat in Sanford, Florida, where Martin was murdered by Zimmerman

I will say this, the Sanford government's conduct in all this is disgraceful. Martin has been dead for over a month, in a case that has become a massive embarrassment not only in America, but abroad, as the story has been carried all over the world as an example of injustice and racism. Yet the government is dragging its feet on the case, trying to make a point that is lost on everyone. The government is trying to show the people it has the upper hand, even at the price of its name domestically and internationally. What the government is doing is very unwise and shall haunt and discredit it for a very long time to come.

Federal Judge Insults Obama And His Mom With Racist Forwarded Email That Has Gone Public

Barack Obama

Sitting federal judge, Richard F. Cebull, forwarded a racist, offensive email from his brother to several friends, slurring biracial President, Barack Obama and his late mother, who is white. The introduction to the Email read, "Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine."

The email Judge Cebull forwarded from his brother read, "A little boy said to his mother; 'Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?' His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'"

Cebull has filed a complaint against himself . Under the circumstances it seems like a meaningless gesture that screams showboating and false humility. You and your family are proof positive there is still racism in the world. God knows what those views have done to minorities, who have appeared in your courtroom over the years seeking justice and a fair case.

You should do meaningful charity work with disadvantaged minorities and those born into tough circumstances and maybe then you will begin to understand the challenges facing people of color. I can only pray it would change you for the better, because your heart is clearly turned against minorities, which is wholly inappropriate for someone in your position.

Richard F. Cebull

I'm not surprised by this incident. I've witnessed corruption and inappropriate behavior from several federal judges, which includes, but is not limited to accepting bribes, conflict of interest, refusal to recuse oneself in the face of conflict of interest and nasty insults and inappropriate comments in formal rulings.

I've seen cases where judges corruptly ruled against kids with life threatening conditions, in favor of rich corporations engaging in reckless conduct. Something is wrong. The Judiciary has gone to the dogs, as the phrase goes, but Congress refuses to clean it up, because they have appointed federal judges for life, giving them massive salaries on the taxpayers' dime.

The same taxpayers a number of federal judges routinely take bribes against, deprive of their constitution rights and proverbially spit on in court. Because they know they have a job for life, some federal judges act out in arrogance and from self-interest, indulging in ego-trips that are downright abusive. Some federal judges believe themselves gods, but the real God would not take bribes or abuse people in court.
