An offensive game about Trayvon Martin has been removed from the Google app store after widespread outrage online. Dubbed the “Angry Trayvon” app, the game allows you to play as Martin as he completes “his world tour of revenge on the bad guys who terrorize cities everyday.”
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxUG-FjefDk I was blessed to attend the Oakland premiere of Fruitvale Station and as a person who does most of my work around race and specifically how Black men are portrayed in the mainstream media. This movie is a Game Changer! If the jury of the Zimmerman trial saw this film, George Zimmerman would immediately […]
Actress Meagan Good is getting some flack for her choice of dress at the BET Awards. Good presented the award for “Best Gospel Artist” in a fairly revealing gown, which many commentators on social media are blasting as inappropriate and disrespectful.
It’s not the BET Awards if something horrible didn’t pop off, right? Well, blogger B. Scott, who hosted the BET Awards red carpet last night, has confirmed that the network refused to let him wear high heels.
I am so sick of entitled white students from the suburbs that blame affirmative action for their lack of success in college admissions. College admission, especially for very selective schools, is the epitome of an arbitrary process. Either you stand out, or not. Quite simple. While race does play a role in the admission, it’s […]
Rachel Jeantel, the young lady who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin the night of his deadly altercation, took the stand yesterday at the George Zimmerman trial. According to Rachel, Martin was very clear about his being watched and followed by a shady individual, and even made an effort to lose him. She says […]
Last week, we reported that police were investigating NFL player Aaron Hernandez’ involvement in the murder of his friend, Odin Lloyd. Now, we have learned that Hernandez was arrested this morning. He has also been dropped from his (former) team, the New England Patriots:
A school in Ohio is under fire for instituting a dress code that bans natural hair styles like braids and afro puffs. Why would a school find the need to police their students’ self-expression to the extent that they would ban natural hairstyles? Why is this ban even necessary?
New England Patriots star, Aaron Hernandez is facing what looks like an incredible amount of trouble. News broke yesterday that Hernandez was questioned regarding the homicide of Odin Lloyd, who was a friend of Hernandez. Now, there’s news that Hernandez, who has not been charged with any crime, destroyed the surveillance equipment in his home […]
Rhymes and Reasons interviews Pugz Atomz about the Hip Hop songs that changed his life: Saafir’s “Light Sleeper,” Whodini’s “The Freaks Come Out,” “Spaceship” from Kanye West, GLC, and Consequence, and “Brooklyn Hardrock,” by Thurston Howell III.
But after a funny but problematic meme began making its rounds online – with the caption “That moment when you realize that you don’t have Tracee Ellis Ross’ hair” – Ross launched a counter movement; the “Hair Love” campaign. Though flattered by the compliment, Ross wants young women to love and embrace who they are.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RvKxDp9o44 Honestly I never intend to write this song. My producer Religion, saw a post I put up about a extremely racist commercial from the pen company Uniball. He was so angry about it he made the beat which would later become “New Nat Turners“. He called me after he sent it and we discussed […]
