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
- 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!

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!!!

Texas 911 operator accused of hanging up on callers: ‘Ain’t nobody got time for this’
9ll is our life line between life and death 9ll operators must have empathy, sympathy , compassion, seeing ALL people no matter their life style, their race, religion, gender or political beliefs Yes this goes for Trump supporters.
Williams had been employed as a telecommunicator with the Houston Emergency Center since July 2014, and supervisors began to notice that her logs revealed an abnormally high amount of “short calls,” with a duration of less than 20 seconds.
During one call, an operator — identified as Williams — is heard answering “Houston 911, do you need medical, police or fire?”
When the male caller responded, “This is a robbery,” Williams is heard sighing before hanging up, according to court documents.
The operator, again identified as Williams, said “Houston 911, do you need medical, police or fire?”
The caller only had time to say “This is officer Molten. I’m driving on 45 South right now and I am at ……” before Williams ended the call.
Although the call was disconnected, the recording captured Williams saying, “Ain’t nobody got time for this. For Real.”
You know it almost seems like she was biting her nose off the spite her face she’s trying to say give law enforcement a big FUCK YOU but that’s not a smart thing to do because of her BS a person died.
PLEASE LADY DO NOT SAY BLACK LIVES MATTER TO ANYONE! No life matters but your own.

Gap Apologizes for Racially Charged GapKids x ED Ad
Image and representation is everything not everything we see in a magazine or TV ad has a racial malice intent. I have looked through all of the GAPS ad campaign ads and see nothing but creative abstract poses with different children of different ethnicities. Okay to say it’s problematic to use the for the white child to use the Black child as a prop is making much outta NOTHING.
@steviegenesis Apparently the only thing a Black Girl can do is bear the weight of White girls. https://t.co/UHTJn39o6w #ShowHerMagic

We must look at these campaign with a much border eye; REALLY look at what they ad is trying to tell us. As I was told by one of my followers on my Facebook page “In this instance, image matters more than intent”.
Let’s look at the intent of the campaign the intent was/is to show GIRL POWER letting young girls of ANY ethnicity that they can be themselves and do what makes them happy!
On Monday afternoon, Gap spokesperson Debbie Felix issued a statement to Co.Create. “As a brand with a proud 46-year history of championing diversity and inclusivity, we appreciate the conversation that has taken place and are sorry to anyone we’ve offended. This GapKids campaign highlights true stories of talented girls who are celebrating creative self-expression and sharing their messages of empowerment. We are replacing the image with a different shot from the campaign, which encourages girls (and boys) everywhere to be themselves and feel pride in what makes them unique.”
In this case I feel there was no need for an apology these social media hypocrites just took this to far!
Image is EVERYTHING I TRULY understand that but I think SOME of you who are going to “boycott” GAP for what you perceive as racist is just plan hypocritical A lot of you HYPICRITES don’t even understand what racism is, some of you don’t even know how to even make change all your doing is just venting your grievances on social media YOU KNOW DAMN WELL YOU NOT GONNA BOYCOTT NO GAP! You do know that GAP is an umbrella of Old Navy? I know for one thing I AINT BOYCOTTIN’ NOTHIN’ Shit Old Navy; GAP gots some good sales!

Eazy-He Action Figure a Eazy E tribute?
Eazy-He Action figure from Trap Toys
A collaboration project with Dan Evans
The back illustration
When I first saw this in one of my many Facebook Nerd Anime groups I thought this was a joke a photoshoped version of He Man I found out through Google that you can indeed buy this shit. This action figure of Eazy- He is I guess is supposed to be a tribute to Eazy E from the legendary hip hop group N.W.A? I think NOT this is the most stereotypical; racist toy I’ve seen in years! I’m laughing but it’s not funny it’s sad really. And you wonder why SOME white folks pigeonhole us; see as one big stereotype. How are we as a people going to get RESPECT if we let this one thing slide? In 2003 a parody board game of Monopoly was invented by David Chang of China and carried by retail store urban outfitters do to the outcry from the NAACP it was pulled quickly thereafter do to the stereotypical; racist natural of the game. Soon after Mr Chang was sued by Hasbro citing similarities of Hasbro’s beloved game Monopoly.
SEE BELOW
Ghettopoly Board game invented by David Chang in 2003
As I look at this Eazy He action figure I shake my head and wonder whywould anyone think to illustrate something so offensive; racist? The cops are already on edge; ready to get they quota let’s not give them ANOTHER reason to mistake this disgusting action figure for a GUN!
I’ve been told that ALL the members of NWA didn’t drink 8 ball ( Old English malt liquor Beer) 24/7 365 nor would they go around shootin the police like cattle as they do us more then
likely they was running from the police. It just goes to show you people of color are not thought of as human beings, we are a stereotype, we are buffoons, we are nothing but entertainment to those that greenlight a program; a movie, as long as we sing and dance; rap how they want we good. As long as we allow toy distributors and makers create Toys like this we will always be grinning puppets to these people who have generational wealth. I HOPE MATTEL SUES THEY ASS !

EBRSO: Woman left son at Walmart to have sex
Chenetra Washington 32 left her 5 year old son alone in Walmart to have sex with a friend
If you can’t take care of you; yourself keep or find a job, can’t pay your bills then why? Just why would you get knocked up and have not one but seven children by seven different men?
Of course the family is blaming mental health issues well then if you knew this WHY didn’t you as her so called FAMILY intervene sooner? Why is it that no one stepped to protect her baby when they saw the police come to the home? I see that one family member stepped in and took the other six children there’s only so much you can do. What I really wanna know is why in the hell would you this supposedly mentally ill woman to petition the court to get her children back when clearly she is not in her right mind. I tell you the court system is fucked up backwards! I HATE Walmart I truly do!
BATON ROUGE – According to documents obtained by The Investigative Unit, a woman accused of abandoning a child at the Cortana Mall Walmart Friday morning was served last week with papers in a lawsuit filed by someone trying to take custody of four of her children.
Chenetra Washington, 32, was booked with child desertion Friday.
According to the arrest report, Washington allegedly brought her 3-year-old son into the Walmart with her. Police say surveillance video shows her leave the store and get into the passenger side door of a car, without any attempt to find her son.
A Walmart employee found the boy, who….

Idaho mom calls police to report she’d found her missing son — and cops come smash the boy’s face
12 year old Idaho Falls boys teeth after cop slammed him into a car
I hate to write it but now that white folks are starting to report police brutality amongst their own maybe just maybe we as people of color will get the justice; the empathy we so desperately need. Are black men are regarded as thugs; they’re some that say that if they hadn’t been out committing crimes he wouldn’t [fill in the blank] all together forgetting that that, that black man was a human being that was loved. Maybe if more white teens; preteens are regarded as thugs just maybe we’ll see some police reform we will see psych evaluations BEFORE hiring of police officers, if more white woman are arrested and end up dead in their jail cell and their family told by that she committed suicide with a thinly made garbage bag if only the police would make their quota in the white neighborhoods; businesses maybe we just might see change!
I could go on if only people weren’t so selective on what they see and hear.
A local woman claims an Idaho Falls police officer assaulted her 12-year-old son.
The mother is now starting the process to take legal action against IFPD.
Amy Olzak’s attorney sent a tort claim to IFPD last week.
It claims that an IFPD officer used unnecessary and excessive force on Olzak’s minor son.
The damages stated on that claim are broken teeth, a possible concussion, and bruising and trauma to the neck and facial area.
“He walked over to my son and then he put my son’s hand behind his back and like lifted him up in the air and slammed his face into the trunk of a car,” Olzak said…..

The Tears of a Clown Kat Williams
What can we say Katt Williams is that clown with tears flowing down his face he wants to feed his sadness,happiness; anger by making everyone else laugh, making us happy with a joke I’m sure like a lot of comedians he gets a rush from seeing his audience fall back with a laugh and thunderous applause for his comedic delivery. I think people; his fans a like forget Katt Williams is human, with family; friends who love him?
Within the last few years we’ve seen this comedic genius slowly spiral out of control until it’s not even funny. If you are a TRUE fan of Katt Williams or not you have to wonder who is truly in his corner? Sadly showing signs of mental illness; this time he is very vulnerable and could end it all with a gunshot to his head or someone will end his life for him. Like so many of our comedians who has ended their lives they didn’t see a way out their deep depression,the yes men;women; money problems family problems.
Katt Williams is alone he seems to not know who to trust; I’m sure he scared, he may feel crying, laughing; yelling at the top of his lungs while silently asking for help. I don’t think anyone is really listening (SOME) everyone is just sitting back laughing AT him; not with him. He truly has tears of a clown.
“I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone.”

Rihanna Blocks Fan who photoshopped an Image of Ri Ri as a white woman
Why would any white person in the right mind find it okay to Photoshop a BLACK celebrity making them white then post it to Twitter? I have come to the conclusion that (SOME) white folks REALLY do think LIGHT BRIGHT AND VERY WHITE IS RIGHT;the straighter our hair the better. Rihanna was very insulted by this white fans disrespect needless to say the fan was BLOCKED and she was left wondering what she had done to offend Rihanna.
If you ask me the white bitch doesn’t really care she just an social media attention whore I guess getting any type of attention good, bad and ugly gets you 15 secs of Internet fame. She really thinks she’s done nothing wrong can you blame her? This white woman ; others who look and think like her is just as whitewashed as the next Negro. For white (people of color) people to really except that people of color are in ALL shades of brown the mainstream media needs to start embracing DARK skin woman with are naturally kinky hair and styles that our unique to us in magazines, TV commercials, local News…. when white people see a DARK skin hand; feet models showing off the latest nail polish; showing a Diamond ring from Kay jeweler on the hand of a DARK skinned couple then things might be a little bit different.

WATCH: Kentucky man shouts ‘punk a** n****r’ at black judge — and gets slapped with 60 days in jail
Let me get this straight you believe that this racist white man has the right and freedom of speech to call this black Judge PUNK ASS NIGGER; suffer no consequences for his FREEDOM of SPEECH?
I think a lot of you in the court room of public opinion have it twisted for every action there is REACTION there’s always going to be consequences for what you say; or write either it be good, bad; ugly. It is a FACT you are to treat a Judge with the upmost RESPECT no matter his/her gender;ethnicity. This RACIST skinhead was soooooooo stupid he didn’t even get out the courtroom door good before calling Judge Olu Stevens PUNK ASS NIGGER!
Well what did this Black Judge of high RESPECT do held this RACIST skinhead in contempt of court and now he spending 60 days in jail for his diarrhea of the mouth. Here’s some more food for thought WTH (WHY THE HELL) would you even think to call a Judge out their name? This Black Judge is the very person who can decide your fait! This RACIST got 60 days in jail to think about why he just bit the nose of the very person that decides his freedom!
