WATCH: White woman calls the cops on black man who’s trying to fix up house in her neighborhood
SIGH ANOTHER DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE BLACK. ? She was like… *Mr Rogers voice* DON’T YOU PLEASE BE MY NEIGHBOR!
A video posted on YouTube earlier this month shows a black real estate investor in Memphis, Tennessee dealing with local police officers after a neighbor called them on him while he was trying to fix up the next-door house.
As real estate investor Michael Hayes writes, he went to the house, which is in a dilapidated condition, to inspect it. The woman came out of the house and asked him what he was doing. At this point, he showed her the investment contract that he had giving him permission to work on the house, as well as written permission that he received from the house’s owner to be on the property.
However, this didn’t seem to satisfy the woman’s suspicions about him, and she ended up calling the police……

For the Love of God, Stop Asking the Black Panther Cast to Do the ‘Wakanda Forever’ Salute
You can SOMETIMES overdue a catchphrase or a gesture in this case the the actors Wakanda forever salute is getting old now.
I would understand if I was them I’d be annoyed after awhile too. Oh and if you think these actors should just do the salute because they owe us thanks. You sadly mistaken. I know these actors are so grateful to us fans but dayum son give them a break.
Oraiginal article written Monday May 14th 2018
The cast of Marvel’s Black Panther has been touring the world for months promoting their movie in interviews and red carpets where they’re inevitably asked to do the iconic “Wakanda Forever” salute. While there’s a lot to discuss about Black Panther, the one question that virtually everyone involved in the movie has been asked at some point isn’t about the film’s plot at all—it’s a request to do the salute. And honestly, it’s about time that we let those poor people do whatever the hell they want to do with their arms.
Doing the press circuit is one of the most grueling parts of actors’ jobs when they’re a part of film that’s a global phenomenon because we expect them to maintain a consistent level of excitement while answering the same general set of questions over and over again. With Black Panther now out for home release and Avengers: Infinity War in theaters, things haven’t calmed down for the actors at all.
Over the weekend, Chadwick Boseman gave a commencement address at his alma mater Howard University and yes, he gladly did the salute, but anyone who watched the speech could see that on some level, the actor was lowkey over it. Not the school, not the speech—the gesture…..

Spike Lee’s BlacKkKansman gets standing Ovation at Cannes
Filmmaker Spike Lee’s latest offering, BlacKkKlansman, is set to be released on Aug. 10, the one-year anniversary of the deadly Charlottesville, Va., white nationalist rally. At its world premiere in Cannes, the film received 10 minutes of applause and standing ovation.
As the Hollywood Reporter notes, Lee was previously overlooked for the Palme d’Or in 1989 for Do the Right Thing. During the Cannes screening of BlacKkKlansman, the audience broke into applause a half-dozen times. At the end of the film, they clapped for four minutes during the credits and gave the film a six-minute standing ovation.
John David Washington (yes, son of Denzel and Pauletta) stars in the film as a black police officer who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s. Adam Driver, Topher Grace and Laura Harrier also star in it.
The film’s trailer was released Monday
