BLACKHAIR MAGAZINE and the tail of the white model
“
We often ask PR companies/salons to submit images for the magazine, specifically stating that models must be Black or mixed race. We can only take their word for it,” the editor of Blackhair magazine said.
Why is it that we as Black and white people always have to question ones ethnicity? I must admit I have and do at times question folks on their ethnicity but it’s not to judge them it is because I am so interested in different ethnicities and backgrounds of people.This weekend Blackhair magazine was criticized for putting a white young model in a kinky haired wig passing her off as a light skinned black woman. Okay PR made a mistake the model Emily Bador wrote an apology on her IG explaining that she noticed that they used an old headshot of her when she was 15 she also explained why people would take offense to this.

Now from what I understand Emily Bador noticed her own picture of herself and contacted the PR magazine told them of their “error.” Then went on her IG apologize saying she is white and some of you still question her ethnicity?So with that comes social media debate of what is she?To me she looks like an ambiguous very light skinned black woman but she has told us that she is white and folks still want to tell her who she is. White people want to say she’s white or insist that she’s of European decent but isn’t white people of European decent?Black folks want to say she’s mixed or bi racial one parent is black they other is white. Others say she’s passing as white but she really a light skinned black.
“If I had known it was going to be published, I would never have condoned it. … I was never asked by the photographer/hair salon/anyone if this image could be used for the cover of Blackhair,” she said.
Black folks need to stop just stop if says she’s white then she’s white. How hard is that for you to except? The hypocrisy of it all if Emily Bador said she was a light skinned black woman you’d say she was white.As for you white people SOME of you just get under my dark skin dictating what we people of color are and who we are not. YES WE black folks do it for very different reasons. If you ask me we black people ask what are you? so we can identify with the parson so we can feel safe.
There was a time in the entertainment industry if you was of mixed race you wouldn’t be able to work so the bi racial person who was born with black daddy or mother would pass as white just to survive. This is the same for other perfusions these bi racial people just wanted to fit in some forgot their blackness all together just to belong.
We as a society are so obsessed with color until we don’t see color as problem within our world.

Why should Phil Jackson HAVE to apologize?
Phil Jackson President New York Kicks
This evening as I was reading all the racially, homophobic and all kinds of phobic hate filled irrational rhetoric on Facebook and saw an article about Phil Jackson 13 championship coach of the Chicago Bulls now president of the New York Knicks offended LeBron James for calling LeBron James and his business associates as posses when describing the men he works proudly with.
Now Shaun King writer journalist for the Daily News also found the word posse as offensive to our black men saying on his Facebook that he is a lifelong fan of Phil Jackson he absolutely agreed with Labron saying that for Jackson would not have called his business team a “posse” if they was white he would have never used the word posse to describe them. Shaun continued to say that these are highly skilled businessmen and leaders.
And on top of that these are grown respectable dudes with families.
Phil should apologize learn from this and move on.
I disagree on this one I really do.
Not every white person has bigoted, racial and or stereotypical intention in their gesture and or what they say.
This world today is so PC Politically Correct until some people walk on egg shells not to upset or offend anyone until it’s ridiculous. In fact a lot of Shaun’s follows was offended themselves there was a lot of them that said what I said what was wrong with calling his business partners posses?
I even googled the definition and it read….
pos·se
ˈpäsē/
noun
noun: posse; plural noun: posses
- UShistoricala body of men, typically armed, summoned by a sheriff to enforce the law.
- Britishhistoricalthe body of men in a county whom the sheriff could summon to enforce the law.noun: posse comitatus; plural noun: posse comitatus

synonyms: gang, band, group, crowd, pack, horde, herd, throng, mob, swarm, troop, cluster; More company, gathering;informalbunch, gaggle, load“Sheriff Munro assembled a posse of armed men to track down the train robbers” - informal
SIGH I do think LeBron and Shaun King is making much about nothing. LeBron needs to worry about President Elect Trump getting into the Oval Office and the battle we have to face in the coming four years. WE ALL NEED TO PICK OUR BATTLES THIS AIN’T ONE OF THEM!

Marvel’s Mosaic
I like any other black american likes to see heroes in comics in the same skin tone as I am. In this review I will be talking about such hero whose name is Morris Sackett otherwise known as the Inhuman Mosaic.
The story is about Morris Sackett, a professional basketball player whose life is changed forever when he is hit with a Terrigen mist bomb. As a result of this he looses his physical body but gains the ability to transfer himself from body to body gaining not only the person’s memory and knowledge and memories but also their emotions.
I am always for seeing people in comics and I for one am enjoying this story. From the looks of it while he’s not necessarily a villain you can definitely tell he’s on the anti-hero trip. From what it looks like it looks like he can do a real good job at being an infiltrator and gathering information without anyone’s knowledge.
Though I’ve never read an Inhumans comic before this is definitely pushing me towards reading about and learning about the other Inhumans that are in the Marvel Universe. On a scale of 1-10 i give it a solid 9. Check it out at your local comic store!
Invincible Iron Man #1 Review
For a while it has been hinted that Tony Stark would be replaced is Iron Man and in this new issue of the titular character, we’re introduced to a new character who will inherit the suit of armor. That new character is Riri Williams who will in the future be known as Iron Heart.
Riri Williams is a 15 year old African American girl who since 5 years old has been known to have an extremely high IQ. Unlike most girls at her age, Riri was into inventing technology and it was with this obsession that the recreated her own Iron Man armor from Tony Stark’s old armor.
Let me start off by saying that I think this a good introduction for the new character. you can definitely tell she’s new to the super hero business but you can tell she’s trying. it’s also great to see her parents trying to get her to interact with the outside world since so she’s so focused on technology.
While I’m not exactly warming up to what has happened with Tony Stark i think I can eventually get passed it. I look forward to seeing how he’ll mentor her through out this journey and I will definitely be purchasing the next issue next month.
Invincible Iron Man #1 I think it’s worth the read, if you agree then go to your local comic store and check it out!
ATTENTION WHORE ALERT! The Trump Effect!!!
Lafayette PD: UL student made up story about attack, stolen hijab…..
Right now tensions are high and we’re looking at everyone with the side eye but let me call out those that are crying wolf, throwing rocks to hide your hands.Just why are some of you giving these Trump supporters a reason to act up and out? Trump supporters don’t like us want to send us back to Africa, send us back Mexico, they want Trump to build a wall.
Trump supporters are going around telling black people to “Go back to Africa!”We have a woman who was jogging and some white man driving by in his truck yelled “BIULD THE WALL!” but she wasn’t Latina he ASSUMED she was. She There’s been reports of Middle and High schools students getting harassed and made to feel less than. Now there’s you. PLEASE STOP THE HYPOCRISY, PLEASE STOP THE ATTENTION SEEKING, PLEASE STOP LIYIN’!! Why do you want so badly to be a victim? REALLY?? I myself was told by a light skinned black boy while I and another black couple walking home from the store I was a WELFARE RECIPIENT he must be showing off for his white friend and for getting he has nappy kinky hair and the next time his white friends he makes them angry they gonna call him a nigger.
To my light skinned Black people with type 4 kinky nappy hair who you can tell is black don’t think you’re immune from racism and being called a NIGGER cause once you make your white friends angry they gonna call you a NIGGER the first chance they get.
STOP making yourself a victim for likes, hearts, laughs, wow’s and angry emojis on Facebook and other social media cause in the end as you already found out you gonna look like a fool and a LIER. While I’m thinking about to my Black people leave these Trump supports alone DO NOT beat them, kill them JUST DON’T talk to them. I DON’T WANT to see another one of our people in prison. TRUST ME the prisons are full!!

#NOTMYPRESIDEANT DAY 1
After election night I woke up this morning with doubt and fear as to what’s to come.
For those of you who voted for Trump I DO NOT RESPECT your vote. Let me ask you something do you really understand what you have done for yourself and your loved ones? Voting for Trump has set us back 60 years. For months I’ve been watching and commenting and reading about this election and the trump rallies just as you have I’ve been trying to put my finger on why the sudden up rising of all these homophobic, Islamophobic, build a wall, send Mexicans back to Mexico, send the Niggers back to Africa, Obama is a Muslim and is not American born, We saw many Trump rallies where he incited violence and never tried to stop the vile language against women; women of color. Trump was able to open a deep seeded hatred, anger and resentment of the people who make America even more greater then it already is.
Trump supporters wanna see America separate but unequal they want us niggers to go sit quietly in the back of the bus, they (the white men) want the women to stay at home cook, clean, take care of they kids, they wanna fuck when they wanna fuck and if you get pregnant then oh well!Women DON’T even think about getting an legal abortion you may have to go underground where a doctor or not will be willing to abort your baby while he/she might even kill you in the process. Trump supporters want our LGBTQ people to keep who they are to themselves, you the Trump don’t want our gay, lesbian, trans woman and men to be able to come out to their friends and families you want to dictate how they should or should not live their lives.
You thug ass racists want to go around freely and call every minority you see any racial slur you can think of. You trump supporters want to yell out homophobic slurs you can think of. You racist love to enunciate the ER in Nigg[ER] this is gonna once again become the norm. To my Black coonbreads who voted for trump you gonna be pickin’ cotton right along with the rest of black folks!
Well we can say goodbye to affirmative action, Obamacare, Medicare; Medicaid, Quest/EBT Cards hell we might go into our second depression in history. I will say this AMERICA IS ALREADY GREAT BECAUSE PEOPLE OF COLOR AND OUR IMMIGRANTS HAVE MADE IT SO! DONALD TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT! I smell a riot come Inauguration Day.
I have to remember this doesn’t effect you even though you’re living, working and thriving on STOLEN LAND!
Lil’ Wayne is not our socially conscious black voice for social justice
Lil’ Wayne “What is it? What, what do you mean?,” when he was asked for his thoughts on Black Lives Matter.
–
You know I don’t understand the fake social media “socially conscious ” outrage from SOME of you regarding Lil’ Wayne’s opinion and lack of knowledge of what Black Lives Matter is and the movement that follows our issues with institutionalized and systematic racism, police brutality. Lil’ Wayne has been out of touch with our reality since age 9 when he joined Cash Money Records in 1992 he or his family hasn’t wanted for nothing his pocket book is full of money he probably don’t even know how much is in his bank account. You say well he rapped about police brutality on his past albums lemme tell you something he wasn’t rappin’ police brutality cause he knew what he was talking about and he cared about his community he only did it cause it was hot at the time he mumble raps mostly about getting high and drunk off Lean, bitches, ho’s, cars, jewelry and the all mighty dollar.
Let me tell you something Lil’ Wayne DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT NOBODY BUT HIMSELF, HIS FAMILY AND HIS MONEY Stop depending on these mainstream WACK POP RAPPERS TO BE OUR VOICE FOR JUSICE AND EQUITY!!
Lil’ Wayne: “I am a young Black rich motherf*cka, if that don’t let you know that America understands Black motherf*ckas matter these days, I don’t know what it is,” said Wayne, who sounded very combative, and also managed to mentioned getting filmed by a white man and mattering to his “b*tches.”
The only thing that matters to Lil Wayne is his money, his cars and how much cough syrup and sprite he can buy. TRUST ME Lil Wayne not worried about you hypocrites boycotting his albums he knows you coonbreads and ya’ll who’s on that hypocrisy soapbox bullshit will go out; buy his albums, and tracks; go to his concerts.
Ya’ll screaming about what Lil Wayne not doing for you I tell you what you need to worry about this presidential election cause if Madam President Clinton or Donald gets into the oval office there’s still a lot of work to be done. If you are looking for hip hop artists who are TRULY socially conscious look for underground hip hop and Neo-Soul artists theses Kats truly do give back to their communities and are for social justice. Ya’ll do remember this is the same man was hospitalized with seizures after a sizzurp binge?
IF YOU TO WANNA SOUND AND RAP JUST LIKE LIL’ WAYNE GET YOUR MUMBLE STARTER KIT NOW!!!
