@Therapist …

In Dallas, a police officer has been accused of sexual assault while on duty for forcing a woman to give him oral sex and intercourse in exchange for her freedom.

In September 2013, cop La’Cori Johnson pulled over two women and ran background checks on them both. When he returned to their car, he told one woman that there was a warrant out for her arrest, and to get into the back seat of his squad car. Johnson told her friend to leave. Then he drove the woman to a deserted street and told her “You don’t have to go to jail if you do what I tell you to do.” Out of fear of incarceration, the woman, who remains unidentified, says she cooperated with the officer’s sexual demands.

The alleged victim reported the sexual abuse on October 4, 2013 and Johnson, a former athlete for the big Texas football school Southern Methodist University, was put on administrative leave shortly after. The Dallas Police Department is investigating the case and questioned Johnson this week, which resulted in his resignation and arrest. Johnson’s bond has been paid. And he is now free.

I would say so..

Riddle me this: what has Bey done or not done to make people think she’s not intelligent? Is it because she has a southern drawl or pronounces some words differently than others pronounce them?

“Politicizing Beyoncé” emerged from Allred’s four semesters teaching Women’s Studies 101 at Rutgers, during which he and his students, both male and female, often discussed the thin line Beyoncé walks as a sex kitten-cum-girl power role model.

“She certainly pushes boundaries,” Allred says. “While other artists are simply releasing music, she’s creating a grand narrative around her life, her career, and her persona.”

Course topics include the extent of Beyoncé’s control over her own aesthetic, whether her often half-naked body is empowered or stereotypical, and her more racy performances as her alter ego, “Sasha Fierce.”

In-class discussions often lead to other vocalists, including Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Lady Gaga, and contemporary musicians who embrace the soul singing tradition like Adele and the late Amy Winehouse.

It sounds thought-provoking if you like that kind of thang.

San … you got it.
