White Teen Allie Allie Dowdle Launches GoFundMe Page To Pay For College After Parents Cut Her Off Over Black Boyfriend

0

White teen Allie Dowdle claims her parents cut her off since she’s dating a black teen named Michael Swift. So, she decided to launch a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise college funds. More inside….

A white Tennessee teenager created a GoFundMe page to raise money for college after her parents cut her off because she’s dating a black teen. And get this, she has raised over $20,000 after starting the GoFundMe page on January 11th.

Apparently, her southern parents have an issue with interracial dating. Allie is a high school senior who attends a private school outside of Memphis. Allie claims about a year ago, she told her parents she was dating a black teen named Michael. Everything was cool until she showed them a picture of him.

On the campaign titled “Allie's Tuition - Say No to Racism,” she writes,

“My dad did not give me an option: he told me that I was not allowed to see Michael ever again. Why? Strictly because of skin color. It wasn't a quiet "no," either. I'll never forget the yelling my parents did, when they expressed how disappointed they were in me, that I could do so much better. I did not know what to do. I couldn't comprehend how someone could be seen as less because of pigment. I still can't comprehend it, and I never will be able to.”

The 18-year-old decides to continue to see Michael secretly all the while trying to convince her parents his skin color has nothing to do with who he is as a person. They weren’t trying to heat that though. She said about a month ago, she and Michael tried speaking with her parents, but that made things worse.

Her parents strip her of everything and decide to no longer support her future. She claims they won’t allow her to receive her personal savings and that they took her car, her phone and told her she has to figure out how to pay for college. And here we are.

While she’s receiving some scholarship money and financial aid, she still needs $10,000 to cover the first year of her remaining tuition.  You know, the same dilemma most college students in America face yet figure out how to work and make it happen.

She says she can’t work because she doesn’t have transportation (since her parents took her car and we guess her privilege doesn't allow her to find a job on a bus route).  She says her dad is doing everything in his power to make it difficult for her as she’s still living under his roof.

Allie’s dad, Billie Dowdle, spoke with the New York Daily News about his daughter’s GoFundMe page.  He claims that his concerns about dating Michael has “never been about race.” Although, he claims his daughter dating a black man was not his “preference” because of interracial dating issues in the South. He claims he opposed the relationship because it was done in secret. Hmph.

Bille, who owns Dowdle Sports & Outdoors in Cordova, Tennessee, says he cut his daughter off because she’s spoiled and says "it became obvious that she needed to go out into the world and grow up."

Meanwhile, Heavy.com discovered Michael Swfit is a former Philadelphia Union Major League Soccer player. He is attending Clemson University in South Carolina and is from Memphis, according to his Facebook page.

 

 

 

 

Folks in the comments section of Allie's GoFundMe page are confused as to how sending a white woman -- who is of age and who comes from means -- to college is combating racism.

Some of the comments read:

“Sending a white girl from a middle-class family to college is not fighting racism. In fact, expecting to avoid work, student loans, etc. and be treated like a hero for dating a black guy seems pretty racist to me.

“Nope. No, ma'am. Are you parents wrong? Yes. Will you spend the rest of your life with this man? Probably not. My son has student loans, so can you. Get to work, honey! That's what the American dream is all about!”

“I'm confused how this is against racism, like okay, I get her family cut her off because of the skin color of the guy she was dating, but besides that, I'm not really sure how sending a white female to school is against racism? Like how is her going to school benefiting anyone in the black community...it's wonderful she wants to get an education by the title is slightly misleading.”

“Poor baby. What a manipulator! She doesn't need a handout--she needs to move out, get a job, support herself, join the military for the GI Bill--and become an adult. Teach her how to fish, don't give her a fish. Why her parents cut her off, whatever the real story is, is immaterial to the rest of the world. She needs to grow up. Racism is horrible, and should always be condemned. I, however, chose to send my dollars for charity to a hospital in Chad serving people with no other access to health care, not to a spoiled child to go to a private university.”

“STOP DONATING MONEY TO THIS SPOILED BRAT! RESEARCH THE STORY! HER PARENTS GO TO CHURCH WITH A BLACK PASTOR. SHE WAS SNEAKING OUT AND BREAKING HER PARENTS RULES!!!”

We would have to agree with some of the comments. While her daddy might be dead wrong, welcome to the real world Allie.  But maybe this is her way of "making a way."

Needless to say, Allie has raised over $20,000 so far. We all know America turns into putty behind a blonde victim.  Go figure.

Another YBF celeb has trekked to Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump. Steve Harvey sat down for a meeting with the president-elect to, as he said, unify the country.

Well, D.L. Hughley sounds off on the visit with some truth serum and he doesn’t hold anything back. Go inside for those deets, plus find out why Jennifer Holliday decided to perform at Trump’s inauguration...

First Kanye West. Then, Jim Brown and Ray Lewis. Now, Steve Harvey.

The “Family Feud” game show host shocked several folks when he showed up at Trump Towers for a meeting with president-elect Donald Trump on Friday.

Steve said he decided to sit down and chat with Trump in an effort to bring positive change to inner cities. And he also revealed that the transition teams on BOTH sides asked him to meet with Trump. So….President Obama’s team asked Steve to have a sit down with Trump? Hmm… The White House hasn’t confirmed this information as of yet, so who knows.

Anywho, the radio show host explained in an Instagram post that he decided to have a meeting with Trump in order to help move the country forward. During their meeting, Trump called up Dr. Ben Carson so they all could talk about looking at programs and housing to help aide inner cities.

Steve said after meeting with the president-elect, he walked away with a good feeling and said he felt Trump was genuine and sincere about making a difference in inner cities. Chile…

After the meeting, Steve told reporters, “He said he wanted to do something, They have a plan for the inner cities but they need some help and so that's why they called me. So we'll see what I can do."

Peep the message her wrote on his Instagram account following the meeting: 

 photo stevetrump2.png

We noticed he turned off the comments on this post. We’re sure they were in shambles as his meeting has pissed off several folks.

And comedian D.L. Hughley is one of those pissed off people.

Steve's fellow King of Comedy didn’t waste any time to sound off on Steve meeting with Trump and he spit ALL facts.

He fired off saying, “Donald Trump takes pictures with black people. You know why you have a comedian, a rapper and a football player out to talk about the concerns of the community? Because that’s the positions you’re used to seeing us in. You’d rather have black people be football players, comedians, and rapper than president. You’d rather see us run the ball than run the country. That’s why you do it. I ain’t gone never forget what you said about this man [President Barack Obama] and how you got where you are….F*ck you now and f*ck you forever”

Check it:

Welp.

 

Meanwhile...

Broadway star Jennifer Holliday was scheduled to perform at Trump’s presidential inauguration. She sang for the Reagans, the Bushes (father and son) and she sang for the Clintons.

But now, she has cancelled her performance for Trump.

In a letter written to The Wrap, the singer/actress said her initial decision to perform was a “lapse in judgment” and she apologized to the LGBT community, saying she was “uneducated on the issues that affect every American at this crucial time in history and for causing such dismay and heartbreak to my fans.”

The Tony Award winner and LGBT advocate came under fire when it was announced she would be performing at the presidential inauguration of a man who does not support same-sex relationships.

She wrote:

“My only choice must now be to stand with the LGBT Community and to state unequivocally that I WILL NOT PERFORM FOR THE WELCOME CONCERT OR FOR ANY OF THE INAUGURATION FESTIVITIES!”

She concluded, “Please know that I HEAR YOU and I feel your pain. The LGBT Community was mostly responsible for birthing my career and I am deeply indebted to you… You have loved me faithfully and unconditionally and for so many years you provided me with work even though my star had long since faded.”

Well there's that.

GIRL WHAT? Zoe Saldana Claims Hollywood BULLIED Donald Trump And That's Why He Won + Trump BASHES Civil Rights Activist John Lewis

So, Zoe Saldana believes Donald Trump (of all people) was bullied by celebrities during the presidential race. Girl, BYE. Get the deets, plus find out how Trump bashed civil rights activist John Lewis to kick off MLK weekend inside…

Yes, you read the headline right. Zoe Saldana believes celebrities BULLIED Donald Trump during the presidential race. After all of the outlandish, disrespectful and racist hate he spewed during his run, the actress believes he’s the victim (at least in some people's eyes). Sighs…

While the Guardians of the Galaxy star was not a supporter of the Republican president-elect, she feels the insults thrown at him from celebrities during the race resulted in him being bullied. So we assume she’s just ignoring the fact he “bullied” a reporter with disabilities. Hmph,

The 38-year-old actress explained to the AFP, "We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies. We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong... and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises."

Not sure how acknowledging the bullying one person is doing is the equivalent of bullying as well, but OK.

The mom of twin boys said the election has taught her a lot of humility and hopes for a united America. "If we have people continue to be strong and educate ourselves and stand by equal rights and treat everyone with respect, we won't go back to those times."

So where were these bullying concerns when Trump was going IN on President Barack Obama? Everybody who has horrific timing when it comes to caping can have several seats.

Donald Trump is kicking off Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend with insults! No surprise.

This morning, he popped off on civil rights activist/U.S. Representative John Lewis via Twitter after the congressman questioned his legitimacy as president.

He tweeted, “Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!”

 photo johntrump.png

UGH! He’s so disrespectful.

Congressman Lewis (Georgia) criticized the legitimacy of Trump being our new president. The civil rights leader told NBC’s Meet The Press, “I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president." His comments stemmed from many points, including Trump not winning the popular vote and the election being hacked in various ways by foreign sources.

He also gave his opinion on the Russian email hack as well.

“I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton,” he said.

About 17 intelligence agencies have backed up this claim, by the way.

The 76-year-old plans to boycott Trump’s inauguration, the first Inauguration he has missed since becoming a member of Congress over 30 years ago.

What a way to kick off MLK Weekend.

THEY WANT THEIR COINS! Blac Chyna Is Threatened With $3 Million Suit By Alleged Managers

Blac Chyna better pay up or she’s going to be dragged to court…at least that’s what two men who claim to be her managers are saying. Details inside…

Blac Chyna is adjusting to life as a new mom again after welcoming her baby girl Dream Kardashian. But now, it appears she’ll need to lawyer up and fight a new lawsuit.

Two men who claim to be her managers say they’ve been duped out of at least $3 million by Chyna.

According to TMZ, Jason Alston and Lincoln Hayes of Infinite Grind Multimedia say they put Chyna on and have not been paid. The guys say they signed her to a 10-year contract back in June 2007. They supposedly discovered her while she was stripping in D.C. and helped her land magazine covers on Black Men and Straight Stuntin. Of course, this was before she got attached to the Kardashian brand.

In the alleged contract, they were supposed to get 50% of all of her earnings during that period. 50%?! And now, they say she owes them at least $3 million in unpaid fees. She could owe them more since they believe she made a few deals without them. If she doesn’t cough up the cash by June, they’re threatening to sue.

Speaking of legal issues, the soon-to-be Angela Kardashian scored a victory in that drug possession charge she copped back in January 2016. Her third-degree felony drug possession charge was dropped due to good behavior and after completing classes. You’ll recall, she was arrested after she went into a drunken rage when airline employees denied her access on a flight to London.  Her then-boyfriend Rob Kardashian DROVE multiple hours to rescue her.

Meanwhile...

Another new project...

 photo char1.jpg

Power 105 “The Breakfast Club” radio personality Charlamagne Tha God is taking his talents to the comic world. Unbeknownst to most, Charlamagne is a huge comic book fan. He even has Wolverine tatted on his right arm.

Well, he’s taking his love for comic books to create his own comic book. He recently dropped his first Marvel Comic titled Charalmagne Tha God’s Marvel New Year’s Eve that he wrote and starred in.

"It's a privilege and honor to write and star in my own comic, I can officially cross that off the bucket list!,” he said.

 photo char2.jpg

Complex breaks down what the comic book is about reporting: 

The story is a simple one: Charlamagne plans a VIP New Year's Eve bash and invites loads of Marvel superheroes. The maniacal Norman Osbourne, who Spider-Man fans know as the Green Goblin, isn't on the list, and he isn't happy about it. The issue is as funny as Charlamagne can be in the Marvel world, and feels like the illest treat for a celebrity who happens to also be this huge Marvel head. Marvel Comics Editor in chief recently broke down how this union first came about.

"When Charlamagne stopped by our offices a few months ago, it became immediately clear he’s a Marvel Zombie through and through. So we got to talking," Alonso continues, "and it turns out he’s got story to tell in 2017. A story that drops him right into the center of the Marvel Universe, where he will go toe to toe against one of our biggest villains, with a timely assist from some of his handpicked favorite heroes."

Jennifer Holliday Says LGBT Community Response Made Her Cancel On Inauguration, Blacks Just Called Her Names

 photo JenniferHollidayGreyGooseKentuckyDerbyWHIojAZPhp4l_zpsolouji4v.jpeg

Jennifer Holliday is now revealing the real reason she changed her mind about performing for Trump's inauguration.  And she shades the whole black community in the process...

Just days after announcing she will no longer be performing at Trump's inauguration as planned, Jennifer Holliday went on Joy-Ann Reid's MSNBC show this morning to further explain why.  And chick is about to piss off black folks all over again.

When she was asked why she mentioned only the LGBT community when explaining in her statement why she backed out of Inauguration, she said it's because they made her realize how much they had done for her career.

Oh?

When asked why the black community's outcry didn't affect her decision, she said it's because they viciously attacked her.

Jennifer revealed on this morning's "AM Joy" show:

“All the tweets that I read from the African American community were directed directly at me. The tweets from the gay community took the issues and did not call me names. Also they have been a faithful community since Dreamgirls to me, and fed me even when the church people didn’t feed me.”

She continued:

“They were calling me coon, calling me house n***er, calling me Aunt Jemima, calling me all kinds of names and asking me to kill myself.  And that was from the black community.”

Calling people degrading names is never "right," but maybe she missed all the names she was called by the LGBT community and many others as well.  But that's neither here nor there.  People pay attention to what they choose to pay attention to.

The Dreamgirls star also said she didn't even hesitate to accept singing for Trump because she wanted to use her voice to "heal America."

“[The Inauguration invitation] did not not give me pause, and I know people think that’s strange, but it used to be where an artist can be an artist, and we sang.”

She also wanted to be clear that Trump’s team did not “trick” her into accepting the invitation. “I wanted to sing for America and sing for the people.”

Oh, ok.

Jenifer Lewis BLASTS 'Con-Artist' Ex-Boyfriend Who Duped Her Of $50K, Sues Him & LA Fitness

Jenifer Lewis has fallen to a scammer whom she had high hopes of spending the rest of her life. Not any longer. Details about how her “con-artist” ex-boyfriend swindled her out of $50,000 and the new lawsuit she launched inside…

Jennifer Lewis fell prey to a man with an extensive rap sheet who conned her!

The “black•ish” star was swindled out of $50,000 by her con-artist (now) ex-boyfriend Tony Wilson aka Brice Carrington aka Dr. Antonio M. Wilson. She explained in a Facebook post that she learned about his extensive criminal past hours before her mom passed away. Yikes!

Not only did he trick her into investing thousands of dollars, he also allegedly conned other investors out of $4 million.  She dished:

“On September 11, 2015, only hours before my mother passed away, I learned that the man I planned to build a life with was a convicted felon and con artist whose criminal career spans more than 25 years, with a special skill in swindling women.  This man, whose name is Tony Wilson, had been sentenced in 2010 to four years in federal prison for conning investors out of $4 million and was currently out on parole. I learned also that his name wasn’t Tony Wilson—it was Brice Carrington.”

After some Internet searching, Jenifer said she learned about his alleged criminal scandals where he pretended to be an “Oscar winner” in sound design and pretended to have Oxford-educated Ph.D. in Theology and supposedly lectured at UCLA.

“By searching online, I learned that Tony Wilson is a convicted felon and con artist. By searching online, I learned that Wilson, as Brice Carrington, had falsely claimed to be a three-time “Oscar winner” in sound design and had paid a jeweler to create fake Academy Award Oscar statues to lure unsuspecting investors for his sound effects business. By searching online, I learned that Tony Wilson’s current alias—Dr. Antonio M. Wilson, an Oxford-educated Ph.D. in Theology who lectures at UCLA, and who is a self-published author of religious books and a former Navy SEAL—was concocted while Wilson was incarcerated in federal prison.“

Jenifer said she first met Tony at a LA Fitness gym she visited frequently. He worked at the facility as the gym’s club manager. Once she found out about his sketchy past, Jenifer notified LA Fitness in an effort to help protect other women, but the health club basically told her stop going to that location and that she should stop accusing its Club Manager of being “a fraud and a con artist.”

“Ironically, LA Fitness protected Tony Wilson by providing him with an email confirming that LA Fitness was notified that Tony Wilson was ‘a fraud and a con artist.’ Tony Wilson then used the email provided by LA Fitness as evidence against me in court. The LA Fitness email allowed Tony Wilson to allege that I had ‘wrongfully attempted’ to have him fired from his job at LA Fitness by bringing to LA Fitness’ attention that he was ‘a fraud and a con artist,’ which, in fact, he was—and is.”

Since LA Fitness decided to “protect” Tony even after she presented them with evidence of his past, she launched a lawsuit against Tony and the health club.

“I have worked hard and now feel emotionally capable to take the final step in my healing, which is to protect others.

“Therefore, I have brought suit against Tony Wilson and LA Fitness, given that LA Fitness has continued to protect Tony Wilson and has continued to place him in a position to prey on LA Fitness’ members, especially its women members, as Tony Wilson is still—TO THIS DAY—gainfully employed by LA Fitness.”

Glad she found out exactly who he was before she married him. He messed with the wrong one!

The Rashida Jones-produced show centers around a Florida nail salon and it stars Niecy Nash, Karrueche and Judy Reyes. During the TCA panel, a reporter asked "But why do nail art, if men don’t like it?"

Niecy, who also stars on "Scream Queens," had the perfect comeback to that question.“Who cares what men think? We want to do what we want to do,” she said. Bloop!

Rashida and Kae were also sitting pretty on the panel:

IN LOCK UP: NY Hip-Hop Personality Taxstone Arrested In Connection With Fatal Irving Plaza Shooting

Taxstone, a NYC personality, has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting that went down during T.I.’s concert at Irving Plaza. Get the deets inside…

A new development in the deadly Irving Plaza shooting, where T.I. was tapped to perform, has come to light.

Taxstone, real name Daryl Campbell, has been arrested in connection to the shooting that left rapper Troy Ave wounded and Troy’s bodyguard, Ronald McPhatter, dead.

The Hip-Hop personality, who hosts the popular Tax Season podcast, is reportedly slated to appear in federal court on a weapons possession charge Tuesday, according to NY Daily News.

This morning, authorities picked him up at his aunt’s house in East New York and he was taken to the 13th Precinct stationhouse in Gramercy Park. He’ll be arraigned tomorrow, according to Taxstone’s lawyer Ken Montgomery.“We look forward to reading the complaint from the government,” Ken told the media.

Earlier this morning, Taxstone posted a video on his Facebook page. Someone hopped in the comments sections with the “Free Taxstone” plea and accused Troy Ave (who’s out on a $50K bond and was shot again on Christmas day) a SNITCH:

Apparently, this isn’t Taxstone’s first run in with the law. He has been convicted of weapons and robbery charges in Brooklyn in the past. The NY Daily News reports he served 18 months of the original sentence and then was thrown back in jail for a parole violation in 2010 where he served 8 more months. After that, he got locked up again in 2012 for another parole violation and served 11 more days.

Damn homie.

Keke Palmer just ditched her long red box braids for a new ‘do. The YBF actress was spotted leaving Delilah restaurant in L.A. last night rocking some fresh cornrows. She still on her 90s steez styling in a white long sleeve crop top and high-waisted distress denim skirt and sandals.

There was some talk on the Internet streets that Keke has sex tape with The Game. Everybody seems to have smashed Game, so folks believed it.

Well, it’s not true. The 23-year-old actress put the rumors to rest during a recent interview on DJ Whoo Kid's The Whoolywood Shuffle. She claims she and the west coast rapper are just friends…and that’s it.

“I love The Game, me and him are not on that,” she said. “He is the homie. It’s so funny because we was at, whose house was we at – first of all, it looked like I was about to join the Love & Hip Hop cast of Hollywood, y’all. I swear it looked like an episode of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood because it was all of us there. They tried to edit the photo and put some random thing in there. I was blown away by that. First of all, he’s much older than me. Like, stop. All of it. The man’s got kids. Stop.”

Peep the interview below:

We all know The Game has a history of sleeping with several celebrities, but Keke isn't one of them.

On TV last night...

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams, rocking a sparkly sequin midi dress and Stuart Weitzman sandals, stopped by the clubhouse to chop it up with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.”

A caller asked Porsha why she throws so much shade towards her co-star Kandi Burruss. She answers, “Oh, I don’t throw shade unless I receive it. If I get it, I will definitely give it right back.”

The reality star then reveals if she and NeNe Leakes are still friends saying,“I haven’t talked to her at all.  So, I don’t know where it stands. I mean, friends would call each other and talk from time to time. So, I don’t know.”

She says she tried calling NeNe a couple of times, but her calls were never returned, so she stopped calling.

Peep the clip below:

Teen Kidnapped As A Baby BLASTS Father Who Spoke Out Saying He 'Raised' Her, 'He Did Nothing!'

 photo girlkteaser.jpg

The South Carolina teen that was kidnapped as a baby is blasting the man who raised her. She claims he didn’t do a thing for her growing up. More inside…

 photo girlk1.jpg

Alexis Kelli Manigo, born Kamiyah Mobley, was kidnapped as a baby from a hospital in Florida 18-years ago. The kidnapping launched a search for the baby, but she was never found. THe case went cold after police investigated over 2,000 leads.

Just recently, Alexis was reunited with her biological parents after a woman named Gloria Williams snatched her from a maternity ward and raised her as her own. Gloria was charged with kidnapping for allegedly taking the newborn from a Jacksonville, Florida, hospital on July 10, 1998.

 photo girlsk3.jpg

Charles Manigo was the man Alexis assumed was her father growing up in South Carolina. He said his ex-girlfriend (Gloria) told him she gave birth to their daughter when he was "away." They dated up until 2003 when they decided to call it quits. They shared custody of her after the split.

Charles sat down with ABC News to share his heartache over losing a child he thought was his. He cried to reporters explaining how he talked to her every day and how he still loves her as his own.

 

Check it:

But, Alexis claims he was NEVER there for her growing up. Oh?

In a Facebook post, she blasted Charles for acting as if he was a major role in her life. She said he didn’t do anything for her while detailing exactly what he did and didn’t do for her.

She wrote:

 photo girlsk2.png

"He Did Nothing ,He Didn't Even Help With Nothing That Was Done for That Prom , He Was The Reason I Didn't Go To My Senior Prom , He Was Not There When I Moved To Georgia, Never Saw Him, He Like To Bring Up A 40 Dollar Check A Week ? Thats Nothing but 160 Dollars. My Bundles Cost 290. DO THE MATH ? WHO WAS THERE , GLORIA WILLIAMS , SO WHAT IS A CHARLES MANIGO .YOU WORK AT A CAR DEALERSHIP AND MY GRANDDADDY STILL GAVE MY FIRST CAR. I CALL MY GRANDDADDY DADDY AND HE EARNED IT. YOU WERE NOTHING TO ME MY WHOLE LIFE. I CAN COUNT ON MY FINGERS HOW MANY TIMES IVE SPENT THE NIGHT AT YOUR HOUSE. YOU TOLD PEOPLE IT WAS HER , NOOOOOOOOO I NEVER WANTED TO GO , MY MOTHER CONVINCED ME , NOW FB WHAT THAT TELL YOU. All He Did Was Lie My Whole Life Then Tell People Different Don't Share This Article With No Sympathy Cause Ill Be A Crazy Fool To Have It For Him . #IApproveThisMessage WASN'T EVEN 40 DOLLARS , 39 AND SOME CHANGE . #LaughAtThis"

Savage!

Meanwhile, Alexis showed love to the woman who kidnapped her. She wrote on Facebook,"My mother raised me with everything I needed and most of all everything I wanted. My mother is no felon."

Gloria's rap sheet says different. She has an extensive criminal record. She was found guilty of writing fraudulent checks and welfare fraud. She was also charged with disturbing the peace a few months after Alexis was abducted.

Van Jones On ‘Hidden Figures’– ‘It Shows Me What A Racist & Sexist I Am’ + Marc Lamont Hill BLASTS ‘Mediocre Negros’ Meeting With Trump

 photo vantheview.png

Van Jones gets open and honest about learning black history through film. Meanwhile, Marc Lamont Hill is calling out all of the “mediocre Negros” meeting with Donald Trump. All the details inside…

Political bae Van Jones made an appearance on “The View” yesterday to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The CNN commentator and the ladies walked out to Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” before taking their seats at the table.

With Hidden Figures hitting theaters, Whoopi Goldberg mentioned a black woman wrote a blog about having to learn about black history facts -- such as her own school once being Whites Only -- through film. That struck a cord with Van where he admitted to being sexist and racist because he had no idea black female math geniuses existed.  Hmph. The movie shed light on something he would have never known about had the film not be made.

“It showed me what a racist and sexist I am," he said. "This little black girl comes out and stands in front of a blackboard and is a genius. Now, if it was a little white Steve Jobs I wouldn’t have been blown away. But to see a little black girl doing math at that level I said, ‘You know what? I am racist and sexist.’ I have never seen this before."

He added, “I am an African-American civil rights dude. It’s my job [to know].”

Check it:

Just goes to show how much of black history is erased from textbooks.  It also goes to show just how far black women -- who are chemists, engineers, and mathmaticians in growing and large numbers -- still have to go to be recognized for their abilities.

The civil rights actist also offered up advice to those who are frightened by Donald Trump.

“Elections you win or lose on one day, but democracy you have to try and win every day. We still have a constitution. We still have organizations. We still have rights. We can still express ourselves.”

Peep the clip below:

In other political news...

CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill joined a panel to discuss radio/TV host Steve Harvey meeting with Donald Trump last week. He doesn't always float our boat, but when he comes through with the shade, he comes all the way through.

Things got heated during the debate. Marc Lamont blasted the president-elect and the black folks that have gone to meet with him.

Hill questioned why Trump keeps meeting with black celebrities and entertainers and not meeting with any black policy makers.  Hmph.

“To keep bringing comedians and actors and athletes to represent black interests is demeaning, it’s disrespectful and it’s condescending,” Hill said. “Bring some people up there with some expertise, Donald Trump. Don’t just bring up people to entertain.”

Bruce Levell, executive director of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump (yes, it's an actual position), challenged Marc Lamont’s notion with claims that he has no idea what went down during the meeting.

Hill continued, “Unless Steve Harvey turned into a policy analyst in the behind-the-scenes meeting, it doesn’t matter whether I was there. My concern is the people he’s trumpeting up and putting in front of the cameras.”

Then, he went in for the kill:

“It was a bunch of mediocre Negros being dragged in front of TV as a photo-op of Donald Trump exploitative campaign against black people.”

Bloop! Peep the clip above.

Following the panel, Marc Lamont Hill went on Twitter to better explain what he meant by the “mediocre negro” label:

David A Clarke Jr., sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin (yes, him again), hopped on Twitter to call Hill a “jigaboo” over the comments he made during the panel. Hill responded:

LeBron James Gets Dragged For Flopgate In Cavs-Warriors Rematch, Bron & Draymond Green Talk About It

The Cavs vs. Warriors had a rematch last night after the Cavs' big Championship win in 2016.  And things got ugly.  Deets on Lebron& Draymond's Flopgate and the aftermath inside...

The Warriors had some ish to prove last night, and that they did.  Steph and co. were out for revenge on their rivals the Cleveland Cavaliers after LeBron and co. snatched up the 2016 National Championship after the Warriors led the series 3-1. 

Last night, Draymond Green was on his usual ish, and so was LeBron James.  The two had a MAJOR collision at midcourt that led to LeBron looking like he was laid all the way out, and Draymond making fun of his alleged flopping on the sidelines.  Draymond ended up getting a Flagrant 1 foul, but the internets dragged LeBron for filth saying he definitely served up the dramatics.

You be the judge:

 

After the game, the ish talking commenced.  At the 1:08 mark, LeBron says he didn't even know it was Draymond who collided with him. He also says, "I'm alright, I'm a football player."

 

 

Draymond said he simply fouled Bron to stop the break. And during that post-collision scuffle, he told Richard Jefferson to get out his face:

 

Y'all know the internets had a field day:

The Warriors had the last laugh though. They destroyed the reigning Champs 126-91.

POTUS & FLOTUS Honor MLK With A Day Of Service At D.C. Homeless Shelter + The Obamas Donate Sasha & Malia’s Swing Set

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama spent their final MLK Day in office at a homeless shelter in D.C. The Obamas helped paint a mural of Martin Luther King Jr. and played around with a few kiddies on the swing set they just donated to the shelter. More inside…

More tears!

We’re still having a hard time coming to terms that President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are leaving the White House. Ugh! Such is life.

Days before they leave the people's house for good, POTUS and FLOTUS spent their final MLK Day in office painting a mural of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and playing on Sasha and Malia’s old playground set that FLOTUS recently donated.

The Obamas arrived at Jobs Have Priority Naylor Road Family Shelter, a family shelter in the Woodland neighborhood of southeast D.C., for their MLK Day of service. When the president and first lady made their first appearance, one of the children yelled, “It’s Barack Obama!” in awe that our 44th president was standing right in front of them. POTUS greeted the kiddies  with his usual “Hey Guys!”

The Obamas rolled up their sleeves to finish a mural of the late civil rights leader in the building’s community room.

“I just want you to know, I didn't do all this," the President told everyone as he painted a butterfly.

After painting, the Obamas headed outside to play with the children on Sasha & Malia's old playset that FLOTUS donated to the shelter:

Mrs. O dubbed it "Malia & Sasha's Castle."

During the visit, POTUS pushed two little girls on the swings while FLOTUS showed one little boy how to use the rope swing.

 photo BarackObamaPresidentBarackObamaparticipatesQtTTKmSLp9rl.jpg

"Brings back memories," POTUS said, as he pushed one of the little girls on the swing.  Awww!

 

Peep video footage of POTUS and FLOTUS in action below: 

In other political news...

Somerset Mayor Jeffrey Slavin has dropped his 61-year membership from the Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD over the controversy on whether the mostly Jewish club would allow POTUS to join.

Mayor Slavin ended his membership on Martin Luther King Jr. Day saying he could “no longer belong to a community where intolerance is accepted.”

In his resignation letter, he wrote:

“I can no longer belong to a community: where Intolerance is accepted, where History is forgotten, where Freedom of Speech is denied, and where the nation's first black president is disrespected.”

The Democrat mayor thanked the club for great memories and signed off his email,“Stay Woke.”

Ha!

To catch you up, members at the club have threatened legal action if POTUS is admitted into the club. They’re pissed over President Obama’s position and actions regarding Israel.

Speaking of MLK Day...

 photo jurneemlk.png

This is how "Underground" actress/new mom Jurnee Smollett Bell spent her MLK Day: playing softball! She said on Instagram, "Nylah is the leader of the pack. Happy #MLK day from our family to yours. #family #mytribe #softball"

And today...

 photo mbirthday.jpg

Guess what today is?

Today marks First Lady Michelle Obama's 53rd birthday, her last birthday as First Lady.

POTUS served up some birthday sweetness to wish his first lady a very Happy Birthday:

 

 

Adorbs! HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLOTUS!
