Jay Z Slammed By Racist NY Post Columnist
Not everyone in New York is excited about rap mogul Jay Z taking a more hands on approach with the NY Nets.
NY Post columnist Phil Mushnick rankled readers with a racist, venom-filled column on Jay Z’s minority ownership of the NY Nets.
In his Equal Time column today, Mushnick wrote the following diatribe about the Nets’ new name, cheerleaders and logo which was designed by the aging rap mogul:
“Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York Niggas? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn Bitches or Hoes,” he wrote.
From NY Mag:
As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots — what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new “urban” home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?
Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N——s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B—-hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!
Vigilantes arrested for holding interracial couple at gunpoint
The middle aged couple don’t fit the profile of common criminals. As they fiddled with the lock on the door of the foreclosed trailer their son had just bought, the couple didn’t hear danger creeping up behind them.
Porterdale resident Robert Canoles and his teenage son, Branden, heard noises coming from the property next door Thursday night. Just like George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman in Sanford, Florida — the Canoles saw a black man, and automatically assumed he was a criminal.
They grabbed their AR-15 rifles and snuck up behind Jean-Joseph Kalonji, 61, and his 57-year-old wife, Angelica.
“Shut up or I’ll shoot,” Canoles allegedly told the Kalonjis who attempted to explain that their son Benji purchased the property legally.
But when asked to provide paperwork to prove the sale, the Kalonjis didn’t have the papers with them.
Earlier that day, after their son closed on the sale, their real estate agent urged the couple to go out to the 11 acre property and change the locks on the door.
OUTRAGE: Swedish Minister of Culture Celebrates With ‘Nigger Cake’
Shocking images of the Swedish Minister of Culture carving into a “nigger cake” are sweeping the Internet. The bizarre incident occurred on Saturday in Sweden when Swedish minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth celebrated a tax funded party for the Stockholm cultural elite, aka cultural elitist snobs.
The cake depicts an African tribal woman’s breasts, abdomen and vaginal areas. The icing is rich chocolate, and the cake is red velvet.
The Minister of Culture is pictured laughing as she performs a clitoridectomy on the cake by slicing into the area of the cake that depicts the genitals.
A performance artist’s head in blackface protrudes from the table. The artist screams each time the cake is sliced. Liljeroth then feeds the cake to the artist.
Makode Linde, the Swedish “performance artist” is also responsible for baking the offensive cake. Maybe it will comfort you to know that Makode is black? See what he looks like after the break.
Is the media responsible for the racist shootings in Tulsa?
Two suspects are being held in the shooting deaths of 3 men in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jake England, 19 (left), and Alvin Watts, 32, were arrested and charged in the homicides. Two other men were injured in the shooting spree which occurred in the span of one hour early Friday. The 2 injured victims are unidentified and remain hospitalized under heavy security. All of the victims were black. The shooters are white.
One of the gunmen, 19-year-old Jake England, reportedly took to his facebook page to express rage that his father was killed by a black man two years ago. But police say there was no connection between the 5 victims and the death of England’s father.
Police Chief Chuck Jordan told CBS News Sunday that the victims “appeared to be totally random.”
The shootings in Tulsa comes amidst reports of increasing race-related incidents around the country.
The media’s self-serving, race-baiting coverage of the Trayvon Martin murder case in Sanford, Florida, might be the trigger for the increase in racial violence and hate crime incidents.
Mary J Blige Blasts Burger King for Racist Ad
9 time Grammy winner Mary J Blige thinks Burger King knew exactly what they were doing when they posted an unfinished television commercial on YouTube last week.
The commercial featured a cartoonish Blige, 41, standing on a table top singing the praises of Burger King’s crispy fried chicken wraps and all its toppings.
Mary’s fans reacted with fury across all social networking platforms when the ad was released. But Mary tells TMZ.com she never signed off on the ad that sparked outrage on Twitter.com for its stereotyping of blacks and fried chicken.
Mary J. tells TMZ, “I agreed to be a part of a fun and creative campaign that was supposed to feature a dream sequence. Unfortunately, that’s not what was happening in that clip.”
Burger King yanked the ad from its YouTube channel, claiming the racist ad was released prematurely “before all of the licensing and final approvals were obtained.” But that excuse doesn’t hold water for Mary.
Mary tells TMZ, “I understand my fans being upset by what they saw. But, if you’re a Mary fan, you have to know I would never allow an unfinished spot like the one you saw go out.”
Burger King has since apologized to Mary, and they say a new, completed version of the controversial ad will be released soon.
‘The Hunger Games’ Evokes Racial Tensions
As predicted, Lionsgate’s ‘The Hunger Games’ broke box office records when it was released over the weekend. The Hunger Games grossed $155 million, more than double what the film ‘Twilight’ raked in during its opening weekend in 2008 ($69.9 million).
But one thing movie critics didn’t predict was the racial tensions that would overshadow the film’s opening weekend and evoke hateful social commentary from passionate fans of the book on which the film was based.
Taking a page out of today’s cultural obsession with reality TV, The Hunger Games pits young television contestants against each other in a brutal, real-life battle to the death.
But fans of the book are outraged at the film’s writers for taking artistic liberties with the book’s big screen adaptation (two of the book’s principal characters are played by black actors).
Thousands turn out in NYC for ‘Million Hoodie March’ to demand justice for Trayvon Martin
Hundreds of protesters holding bags of Skittles and cans of Arizona iced tea joined together for a “Million Hoodie March” in Union Square in New York City Wednesday.
The peaceful protest was organized by black and white college students, many wearing grey hoodies to symbolize the racist stereotyping that led to the death of Miami teenager Trayvon Martin.
