The Birth Of A Nation Movie Review
One of the most anticipated black movies has finally been released. Today I saw the Nat Turner bio,The Birth of a Nation and I must say, I feel like this a movie that all black people should see.
This movie was spectacular, the acting was great, they story was phenomenal. It is definitely a story that will make you think, make you angry, cry and to be honest occasionally chuckle. Nate Parker as Nat Turner did an excellent job portraying him and it is a performance that I will never forget.
With any movie about slaves, seeing my people getting abused mistreated and murdered for no reason at all definitely made me angry, and I hated watching it but I feel it is definitely a dark piece of history that needs to be discussed. Also with me being of Christian faith I also glad how they exposed slave masters using only certain bible verses to keep slaves in bondage and to keep them in line. It was when Nat Turner actually read all of the bible that he learned the full truth.
The scenes of Nat Turner and his rebellion group killing and battling former slave masters was jaw dropping also from the first kill all the way to when they were ambushed and trapped. I won’t delve into the ending too much since most of us know it wasn’t a happy one but I will say this, if you’re going to spend your money on anything this weekend, spend it on this movie. You won’t regret it.
In my regards to the Nate Parker rape allegations, I see it as a ploy to get people to boycott a movie that shows black people with a backbone and standing up for themselves. Unfortunately many of us have fallen for it.
All in all I rate this movie 10 out of 10, if I did not see this movie i know that I was going to regret it later on. Please see this movie it’s definitely a game changer.

Terence Clutcher and Keith Lamont Scott
It looks like a repeat of the week of the 4th of July again. Within the span of two days two black men have been shot and killed for nothing other than being black.
Let’s start with Terence Clutcher a man who had car trouble and called the police for assistance, no gun, no “resistance” and yet in still the man was shot and killed in cold blood. Then the media has the nerve to say “he looks like a bad guy” or “he’s a big dude”. Wow sorry the a person who’s big is down right intimidating to the point where you need a gun. If you’re that terrified as a police officer you need to change careers asap.
Now let’s move on to Keith Lamont Scott. Yet another black man who once again was doing nothing wrong, waiting on his daughter but was shot and killed and it was all because of mistaken identity. Once again the usual steps are taken, paid administrative leave and a possible acquittal. Seriously you know it’s bad when you can play stuff like this out to a T.
I also find it amazing how a lot of people have a problem with people not sing the national anthem or pledge but turn around and have the audacity to make excuses for these cop killings. If you want to turn and blind eye to the killings of unarmed black men the I’ll be glad to turn a blind eye to the national anthem and the pledge. Something has to give. This madness has to stop one way or another but until then the pledge and national anthem can kick rocks.
Shawty Lo Dead In Car Accident
The hip hop community has taken a loss today as Shawty Lo the founder of the rap group D4L died in a car crash early this Wednesday morning.
Authorities recieved a call around 2:20 this morning alerting them of the accident. Shawty Lo, who’s real name is Carlos Walker was rejected from the seat of his 2016 Audi when he lost control of the vehicle which overturned, hit two trees then caught on fire. Walker was pronounced dead at the scene. The two passengers who were with him were taken to the hospital with with non life threatening injuries. He leaves behind 11 children.
This is unfortunate news to hear, and even more tragic that these 11 kids are now left without a father. I hope that the crash was caused because he was under the influence. Prayers go out to his family.
Mother gets 21 years to life for drowning toddler in custody dispute
Oceanside woman was sentenced to 21 years to life in prison for intentionally drowning her toddler son after learning she’d have to split custody of the boy with his father.
Veronica Rivas, 30, pleaded guilty in Vista Superior Court last month — three weeks before trial — to second-degree murder and willful cruelty to a child.
In September 2014, Rivas placed 21-month-old Elijah in the bathtub of her family’s Oceanside condo and held his head underwater until he stopped fighting, authorities said. When the boy regained consciousness, she called her estranged boyfriend — the child’s father — to ask him to give up his custody rights. When he said no, Rivas held the child underwater again until he died, prosecutors said.
In court Friday, the boy’s father, Marine Sgt. Juan Concha, addressed Rivas as he clutched a blue stuffed elephant — the toy his son had slept with.
“Remember this?” the 30-year-old asked, holding a long stare at Rivas.“How do you kill a 2-year-old? How do you hold Elijah’s head underwater?”
He told Rivas that “young, innocent Elijah didn’t do anything to you.” He wished her a long life, adding “I hope you think about it every night and every morning.”
Rivas remained mostly expressionless while he spoke. Concha said he should have been getting ready to celebrate his son’s birthday — Elijah would have been 4 this November — not speaking at the sentencing for his murder.
“How do you kill a kid?” Concha asked. “How do you hold Elijah’s head underwater not once, but twice? Do you even care?”
After a tense and quiet moment, Concha wiped his eyes, picked up the toy and walked away.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Claudia Grasso told Judge Richard Monroy that Rivas’ actions “were all committed out of revenge and spite.
“From the beginning, this baby was a pawn to her that she used to get back at Mr. Concha,” Grasso said. “The minute he moved on … she would not allow him to see the baby.”
Five days after Concha formally asked for custody, Rivas told police she suspected he was abusing the boy, the prosecutor said. The ensuing investigation by three agencies, including Oceanside police and child social workers, found no merit to the allegation.
The day after she learned she would have to share custody of Elijah, Rivas drowned him.
She was about to pick up her son from his baby-sitter’s home around noon on Sept. 10 when she decided to kill him, Grasso said. Rivas told police: “I had to put him down” for his own protection.
At her family’s home, Rivas poured herself a drink and filled the tub in an upstairs bathroom as the toddler ran around in his diaper, Grasso said. She then put him in the tub and held his face down. But he “was a sturdy little guy, who fought, who struggled,” Grasso said.
Rivas thought Elijah was dead, but he regained consciousness.
“And instead of feeling that remorse … she called Mr. Concha to continue the fight,” Grasso said.
After they hung up, “out of anger, out of spite, out of revenge, she got the baby a second time and immersed him in the tub until she killed him,” the prosecutor said. “Revenge, spite, that’s all it was.” Veronica Rivas was sentenced to 21 years to life in the murder of her 21-month old son.
Rivas did not make a statement during the hearing. Last month, public defense attorney Daniel Segura said his client was “tremendously remorseful.” When she was arrested two years ago, her arraignment was delayed as she was on suicide watch.
Her family attended Friday’s hearing, but did not comment.
Rivas must serve 21 years — she has already served two as she waiting for trial — before she is eligible for parole.
Concha said the stuffed toy is the only item of his son’s that he has. The sergeant, who is from New York, said he hopes to permanently remain in California for one reason: “My son is buried here.”

Deputies Fatally Shoot Pompano Beach Man Who Was Eating Chicken Wings At Backyard BBQ
Two deputies from the Broward Sheriff’s Office shot and killed a man in Pompano Beach at around 10 o’ clock last night.
Deputies were responding to a call about a domestic disturbance. When they arrived, they were directed to the back yard, where the man (whose name has not yet been released) was holding a knife. Both deputies opened fire. Pompano Beach Fire Rescue later confirmed the man was dead on the scene.
Neighbors who were present at the time of the shooting say the man was shot in the back six times. BSO has not yet confirmed that.
The incident is currently under investigation, and both deputies have been placed on administrative leave.
Friends and family confirmed the victim was Gregory Frazier, age 56, who lived at the Pompano Beach home where the shooting took place. His sister, Deborah, had called 911 because he had been arguing with her daughter. He had a knife in his hand—the small, Swiss Army-style pocket knife that he always carried, she told dispatchers.
When officers arrived, the argument was over, and Frazier was sitting outside in his backyard eating chicken wings and fries. Quartaze Woodard, Frazier’s nephew, who was at the scene, says three deputies showed up and told Frazier to get down on the ground. Frazier responded, “Leave me alone.” The deputies repeated the order. Again, Frazier asked them to leave him alone. After that, Woodard says, the officers shot him. Then, after handcuffing him, and removing the handcuffs once they realized he was non-responsive, they attempted to perform CPR. It was too late.
“I never would have called the cops if I’d known this was going to happen,” Deborah Frazier says. “They just came in and started shooting right away.”
Pastor Miguel Rosa, who lives next door, was holding a meeting with several of his parishioners when he heard what he initially thought were fireworks. At least five shots were fired, he believes.
Frazier was black. The deputies who responded to the call were white. And friends and family say this is why Pompano Beach in particular, and Broward County in general, needs officers who better reflect the populations they serve.
“It’s too much,” says Sarahca Peterson, a friend of the Frazier family and a community activist. “There has to be change. They need to face criminal charges. If I kill someone, I’m going to jail. They shouldn’t be out there on the streets.”

Simone Biles Rio Olympics 2016
Why is it that we as Black woman critique other Black woman’s hair so harshly some of us act like our hair HAST to be pristine and not a hair outta place, are edges MUST be slicked back OMG heaven forbid if our hair becomes unrivaled. It doesn’t matter if our hair is relaxed or kinky curly natural BITCHES ALWAYS got something to say. Yes our hair is our crown and glory BUT DAMN to openly complain attack these two beautiful brown skin Olympic gymnasts. Gabby got this same treatment at the 2012 Olympics REALLY??
Why are we as Black woman have to pick at something so mundane? Gabby and Simone’s hair has NOTHING to do with there ability to swing on the high bars; rings. YOU BLACK WOMAN TROLLS SITTING ON YOUR BLACK ASSES may have a daughter who’s interested in gymnastics but will probably won’t want to try because they won’t want to get picked apart by BLACK WOMAN LIKE YA’LL DOING GABBY I too thought Gabby needs to pull out the juz 4 me relaxer kit but then I went right back to watching her preform her black girl magic and said to myself it’s none of my business if her edges need to be relaxed or not. YA’LL HYPOCRITES WHO ARE CLOWNIN’OR CRITICING GABBY’s HAIR NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN BUSINESS AT HOME AND DO YOUR OWN DAUGHTERS HAIR!

Suicide Squad Movie Review (Small Spoilers)
After months of waiting, Suicide Squad finally hit theaters Thursday (depending on where you live) and Friday night. From what I saw, in my opinion the critics were wrong about this one. Suicide Squad is definitely one of the better summer movies of this year!
Let’s start off with the obvious, Will Smith and Margot Robbie did great jobs as DeadShot and Harley Quinn. Both of them definitely stole the show in whatever scene they were in and both were hilarious as well. Jared Leto delivered as the Joker as well. You can tell that this Joker is and will be different from the Heath Ledger we’ve seen in The Dark Knight. My only gripe was that he didn’t play too much of major part in the main plot of the movie.
Other than a desire for other characters to be fleshed out a little more, everyone from Killer Croc to Rick Flagg were enjoyable to see on screen. Seeing the two cameos of Batman and The Flash were a great add on to this movie and a nice set up for the Justice League movie next year. It was nice to see Common in there as well even though he was killed by the Joker two minutes later
The plot to me seemed good for the most part. It’s very character driven as it gives a brief synopsis of everyone the first hour and they dive into their mission the second hour. Enchantress as the villain seemed like great choice.
As far as my gripes with the film, adding Slipknot to the film just to kill him off before the action even starts is somewhat of a waste. Also in the final scene when everyone is getting ready to take on Enchantress, she looks as if she’s doing a very poor form of belly dancing that just looked plain weird.
All in all I say Suicide a Squad was definitely a great movie and you should go out and see it. Never mind what the critics say, see and judge it for yourself. The action is great, the comedy is spot on, and the characters are enjoyable. Out of 10 I give it an 8. If you haven’t seen it go out and see it now!
Mo. man accused of having sex with cow
GREENE COUNTY, MO. – Deputies say a Fair Grove woman walked into her barn last month and found a man trying to have sex with her cow.
Darrell Helton, 68, of Nixa, was charged last week with unlawful sex with an animal after he was allegedly caught in the act.
According to a probable cause statement, a woman noticed an unknown car parked near her barn on the evening of June 10, so she went inside the barn to investigate.
As the woman entered, she saw a naked man — identified as Helton — standing behind one of her cows apparently having sex with the animal, according to the statement.
Helton allegedly told deputies with the Greene County Sheriff’s Office that he went to the property in Fair Grove, caught a cow, tied it to the corral and tried to have sex with the animal.
The statement says Helton told authorities that was the second time he had engaged in sexual acts with a cow on that property.
Unlawful sex with an animal is a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to one year behind bars.
It does not appear Helton was jailed. Helton does not have an attorney listed for this case. The News-Leader was unable to reach Helton for comment using phone numbers listed for him in online records.
