Recently, a high school student in Utah was accused of racism after wearing a pillowcase over his head during a spirit assembly at Alta High School. The pillowcase looked similar to KKK hood, and when student Larz Cosby (who is described as “multi-ethnic”) demanded that it be removed, the hooded teen taunted the concerned Cosby and yelled “white power.” Cosby then removed the boys hood and threw it to the ground. He later blogged about the incident, and reported it to authorities at the school.

The school district was forced to respond to racism in its schools after the allegations surfaced. A pattern emerged that indicated a pervasive problem with racism at the school, and numerous “serious” racist incidents were uncovered. The principal and vice principal of the school have been suspended with pay while the problems are being investigated.
Prompted by a March 18 incident where a student wore a white pointed hood to a school spirit bowl that some felt resembled the infamous Ku Klux Klan symbol, the Canyons School District has uncovered evidence of other “serious incidents” that have occurred at the school over the past year, according to district spokeswoman Jennifer Toomer-Cook.

“Canyons School District condemns and prohibits all forms of racism and discrimination,” she said. “We are taking appropriate administrative action.”

The district has placed Mont Widerberg and Mark Montague, principal and vice principal of Alta High, respectively, on paid leave while the investigation of the incidents continues, a school employee said. 

The district’s office of civil rights is looking into the hood incident, and based on the evidence it finds will come up with a course of action that could potentially include discipline for the student who allegedly donned the hood.

“It was completely recognizable,” said Taylor Risk, a student at the school….

…Toomer-Cook, who would not reveal the nature of the other incidents the civil rights office has turned up, said she doesn’t know how long the investigation will last, but she expects the school to cooperate with the process.

In the meantime, the replacement principal will be Ray Jenson, a previous Alta teacher and coach who left the school to pursue a career in administration, according to a school employee. (SOURCE)The Department of Justice is now getting involved in the racist incident by assisting at a meeting hosted by the school district designed to discuss the problem of racism in the Canyons School District. Representatives from the DOJ will be on hand for several days to help the district address the issue of pervasive racism, which, of course, the good white folks of Sandy, Utah want to deny exists.

The parents of the hood wearing teen jumped in to defend their son. They claim that his cry of “white power” and his white hood had NOTHING to do with racism. Apparently, they believe that their son was simply chanting “white power” to support his high school class, which was assigned to wear white at the spirit assembly. I mean, damn, I understand supporting your child, but when your kid fucks up, you need to recognize it, apologize for it, and make him understand how and why his actions were so harmful.

If parents, teachers, and school authorities ignore the topic of racism in children and teens, it does nothing to resolve the problem. Pretending that the world is color blind because you wish it was that way is not the answer, but apparently, most white parents believe it is, and raise their children with the impression that it is perfectly acceptable to never challenge their own racism or the racism of others.

People need to be held accountable when racist incidents occur. People can not just continue to dismiss racist incidents as “jokes” or as “misunderstandings”. There need to be repercussions for behaving in a manner that is threatening to other people. Make no mistake, racist words and deeds ARE threatening, whether directly or more subtly, and need to be treated as such. I hope, for the sake of Larz Cosby and all of the rest of the nonwhite students of the Canyons School District, that this incident is taken seriously and all of the parties involved in allowing this atmosphere to exist are held accountable.

Gary DeWester, the owner of “The General Store” in Noblesville, Indiana, is happy about the controversy caused by the racist labels on soaps sold in his old fashioned store. He believes that the outrage that this product has caused is “free publicity”, and will help bring people into his shop. After all, racism sells, and the almighty dollar is king.

Gary was told by the owner of the building in which he leases his store that he must pull the offensive product from the shelves. He has refused, citing the notion that people are “too politically correct”. He even states (with pride) that “our country was built on racism”. Mr. DeWester is now facing the possibility of losing his lease because of his refusal to stop selling these racist items.

I remember seeing items from the past that used blatant racism as advertising. I was always appalled that people found such things perfectly acceptable, and wondered how anyone can look at such things and not be offended. Today’s racism, though just as insidious, always seemed to be more subtle (for example, the Old Navy commercial I wrote about a few weeks ago) But, obviously some people still believe in good old fashioned, in your face racism.

Sometimes I wonder what is worse, the obvious racism of these soap labels (which I am sure some people will label as “kitschy” or “nostalgic” despite their offensiveness) or the more subtle racist messages in media today. Most people will look at this soap and immediately recognize that it is unacceptable to portray these images. But, sadly, people will look at the Duncan Hines Amazing Glazes commercial (featuring Black face in cupcake form) as just a cute ad for a new product. So, have things really changed all that much?

So, with Christmas around the corner, ’tis the season to get ya grab on, and…

So, I’ve known a few boosters in my day, and I’ve always been amazed at what they’ve been able to do. And just like clock work, they would hit us up around this time of year taking orders. What can I say, everybody’s trying to get paid this time of year so they can stuff some stockings, right?

Besides, ain’t nuthin’ like a hood discount!

However, I’d like to know just how on this green friggin earth do you get three pairs of boots and lord know what else under your titties, and back fat? I mean, $2600 worth of merchandise from T.J. Maxx is alotta shit!

Um, hopefully they didn’t have to stuff or hide anything in the vageen, or heavens forbid the uterus. But, something tells me they did, and have done this before. But hey, see what happens when we don’t have jobs?

Did you catch that, Barack?

Um, yeah… so… OK… you read the title and yes, it is about what it says it’s about. In swear, some of these stories you guys send me via email sound like the type of stuff straight out of a Hollywood movie.

I mean there’s no way that something like this is true, right? But there’s a mug shot to accompany this story. Which means, that, well, somebody got arrested, and yeah… the mouse in the booty thing could quite possibly be true.

I promise, you can’t make this shit up, people:
SENECA, SC (WCSC) – A burglary call for Oconee County sheriff’s deputies turned bizarre Monday morning when their suspect was found naked with a mouse in his rectum and apparently drugged, an incident report shows.

Authorities responded to Bernwood Circle near the town of Seneca late Monday morning after a resident complained of a burglar. When deputies arrived, they found Noah Smith, 24, lying face down and naked inside the doorway of the victim’s home, the report stated.

When the deputy tried to make contact with Smith, he slapped the deputy. In return, the deputy deployed his taser, which had no effect on Smith, the report stated.

With reinforcements, deputies approached Smith again in the victim’s bedroom. A deputy managed to handcuff Smith before he jumped off the victim’s bed and tried to kick other deputies in the room, the report stated.

Then, according to the report, Smith was pepper sprayed. Undeterred, Smith continued to kick at the officers and otherwise evade capture. He was struck with a police baton several times, and Smith attempted to bite the deputy.

Smith’s head and mouth were covered with a blanket to prevent him from biting. He was wrestled down so shackles could be placed on his legs and his arms were hog-tied, the report stated. An EMS crew responded and provided a stretcher to which Smith was also tied.

Deputies and officers from the Seneca Police Department opined that Smith might have been high on mushrooms, and identified equipment that could be used to get high in the victim’s home.

During a medical exam at a nearby hospital, medical personnel found a mouse tail hanging from Smith’s rectum. An X-ray revealed a mouse lodged inside Smith.


He told emergency room personnel that he could not remember what had happened to him.

After the medical exam, he was charged with resisting arrest, 1st and 3rd degree assault a battery charges, and indecent exposure. Smith was transported to the Oconee County Detention Center. (source)Now I could understand being high out of your damned mind enough to be unstoppable. I’ve seen dudes on “Cops” so high that tasers, pepper spray and even bullets don’t mean shit to them when they encounter the police.

So yeah, I could see a guy sitting in jail telling his story about how he whooped the police’s ass like he was the Hulk. But, I don’t think beating the po-po’s ass with a mouse in your rectum qualifies as thug-ish.

But hey, maybe that’s how they get down in South Carolina. Lord knows I’ve done some silly shit while being drunk and or high in my life. But I’d be damned if I’ve ever done some stuff that landed me in jail, or at least left me having to explain some shit so f@#ked up that I’d have to leave the state.

I mean, at what point do you decide to put a rodent in your asshole and break into houses? I swear, you white folks do some crazy shit. I’ve heard of Richard Gere and Gerbils in the booty, but a mouse?

Hugson Jean must be the most patient man I have ever seen in my life. This witch, Erica Winchester (who teaches public speaking) went on a long ass, racist tirade and he kept his cool through the entire episode. She even slapped him, and still he did not even raise his voice. And, he is the one who lost his job! Thanks to youtube though, this woman’s disgusting behavior did not go unseen, and hopefully will not remain unpunished.

People always ask me why I think about racism all the time. They think I am obsessed. In fact, I had a conversation with a friend this morning, who told me I need to stop thinking so much about all the ways in which white people spread evil throughout the world. But, how can I?

How can I ignore the fucked up legacy I inherited based on my skin color? How can I turn a blind eye to the ways in which “my people” have degraded, demeaned, and destroyed entire populations and cultures? How can I deny the racism that I see every day?

The thing is, this woman claims she is not prejudiced. So do 99% of white people who support the fucked up racist agenda of the global system of white supremacy. I know this. I hear what white people say when they think no one else is listening. I know that the majority of “good white folks” are, in fact, fully capable of exploding in a similar racist diatribe at any moment.

The irony of this story is that damn near everybody will jump in to condemn this woman, rightfully. But then, they will go home and talk about how their children are so lucky to not have any of “those people” in their classes at school. Or they will label every Black person they work with, or attend college with as “affirmative action candidates”. Or they will call the police when they see a young Black man walking through their neighborhood on his way to a party. Or move away when a Black family moves in next door.

Racist pigs like Erica Winchester sicken me. But, I feel less anger at people like her who let their racism show freely, than those who proclaim to be color blind, yet instill hatred and fear for people of other races in their children. The media, which portrays Black people almost exclusively as criminals, pisses me off more than this woman. The brainwashing that the public school system instills in children by teaching them that all significant progress in this country has been the work of white folks is far more dangerous and insidious that the racist ramblings of one old alcoholic bitch.

It is easy to dismiss such blatant racism as the ravings of a mad woman. It is far more difficult to recognize and ameliorate the subtle, every day racism that resides within all white people. The “good white folks” who swear up and down they are “not racists” are the ones who offend me more than anyone else, simply because if they do not even attempt to recognize their own innate biases, they do not bother to challenge them.

I have heard speculation that Ms. Winchester is mentally ill, and her sickness contributed to her disgusting actions. However, I think that using mental illness as an excuse for her racism is ridiculous. Even if she is mentally ill, she is obviously high functioning, because she owns her own business. So, there is no excuse for this type of behavior. I am so sick and tired of people blaming everything on mental illness. It assumes that people with psychiatric diagnoses are incapable of knowing right from wrong. Her words came from a place of hatred, not illness.

I hope that Erica Winchester suffers the consequences of her actions. She was charged with assault and a hate crime last year, but according the police, Mr. Jean did not want to testify against the woman. However, he claims that he was never asked to appear in court, and that no action was taken against Winchester. I hope that nobody ever hires her again to conduct training seminars. I hope that the authorities revisit the idea of charging this woman for her crime. I hope that she is embarrassed to show her face in public. And I hope she becomes a pariah in her community.

Some of the most ingenious individuals walking the earth, are drug addicts; no bullshit, I’m for real. I mean when you’re a slave shackled to a drug addiction, you’ll do just about anything you can to get your hands on money to get high. You’ll lie, cheat, and steal all in the name of chasing that elusive first hit. No seriously, spend some time around your crackhead cousins and they’ll tell you all about it, folks.

Now I’ve personally heard some stories and have met my share of addicts in my time. But nothing I’ve ever heard can compare to the following story of Angie Boyd from Richmond, Indiana. Not even on A&E’s weekly show Intervention, will you hear anything remotely close to anything like this woman has done. I’m serious; this shit takes selling VCRs at 4am to get high to a whole new level:

As elaborate a scheme as she attempted to pull off, one has to wonder if she was trying to go for the motherload (um, no pun intended). She lied about the death of her daughter. And even went as far as to say that she was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. I know Richmond Indiana is a small town and all, but I’d like to think that people would have known about the death of her daughter prior to this.

But hey, dope fiends are some of the most convincing people in the world, so, it’s easy to see how she would be able to pull something like this off, had her brother not decided to drop a dime on her. I’m not sure if what she did was a crime, that is, if she hasn’t defrauded anyone of any funds as a result of her scheme. However, I do hope they find her, and get her the help she needs.

Look, I make no apologies for my twisted sense of humor. Yes I know domestic violence is no joke, but the following story brought tears to my eyes as I chortled like a warlock in laughter. Oh spare me the dramatics and faux outrage, OK?  I don’t care who you are, or what you think, because this shit is hilarious:

Jacoby Laquan Smith says he will turn himself in to St. Paul police this week for what must be the most unmanly crime on record: domestically abusing his armless, legless girlfriend.

Smith allegedly punched Tiesha Bell in the face 10 times during the March 22 incident and faces a misdemeanor fifth degree assault charge and a gross misdemeanor for interfering with a 911 call.

Bell was in no position to defend herself, being that both hands and both legs were amputated due to a childhood illness. But Smith says don’t let that fool you–Bell is like a handless, legless Ultimate Fighter.

“She’ll swing, push me down and choke me with her nubs,” Smith told the Pioneer Press.

Smith said that prior to the domestic dispute, Bell was cheating on him.

That’s right, Smith was being cuckolded by a quadruple amputee. That can’t be good for the self-esteem.

He turned on the TV and Bell got mad, he says. She punched him in the groin with her deadly nub and then proceeded to dowse him in urine from a bed pan.

Yes, after being cuckolded by the quadruple amputee, she gave him a golden shower.

So you see, your honor, Smith punched the quadruple amputee in self-defense. He rests his case.

(By the way, Bell still plans to marry him. “We both need anger management,” she said.) No but seriously, is this dude really gonna stick to his self defense story? In the immortal words of Jay Z, “We don’t believe you, you need more people.”  Oh, and she was cheating on him? Not trynna be funny, but how much creepin can an armless and legless woman do? And with whom? I’m done; I’m not even gonna talk about the nub to the nuts, or him being on the run; I’ll leave that one up to y’all. But can you picture this shit?

This Oakland AC Bus fight story just won’t die! And I swear, the story just gets funnier and funnier. Now, “Kung Fu Joe” decides to give his version of the event. In what’s probably the best post fight interview in history, I present to you, Michael; the brother who was left “leaking” when it was over:

OK, first of all, I’m not gonna believe that this cat is 50yrs old. Sorry pal, but lying and making yourself older than you actually are doesn’t diminish the fact that you got your ass whooped. What, I’m ‘posed to give you a pass because you’re an old nigga and your Eddie Gordo skills may have diminished? Shit, the dude that whooped your ass was 67yrs old! Sorry Bruce LeRoy, but I’m not falling for the banana in the tailpipe buddy. Besides, if you really are 50yrs old you deserve a beatdown just for wearing braids and that tired ass flannel.

Oh yeah, and what the fuck is up with him going all “Theo Huxtable” with his diplomatic tone and apologies? Um, how you gonna come off all “job interview” and tell people that’s not how you normally behave as seen in the video? But in the same breath, you blame gettin’ your ass stomped on, by being drunk. Yeah, try that “I was drunk,” excuse when your ass is in child support court and see if that’s acceptable. Oh yeah, and fuck your brother being a veteran; and your apology to all veterans. I’m just sayin’ they’re all laughing at you anyway.

At this point I give a pass to Epic Beard Man’s embellishment of the story; he’s crazy, and I expect that from him. Besides, he won the fight, and so what he stretches the truth just a tad to score some booty. But as for this dude Michael? To me, he’s just another punk who jumped up to get beatdown. And I’m sorry, but if he was my boy I’d still be laughing at his ass for being pwned as you carried the entire race on your back.

Look, I’ll admit that I’ve caught a few Z’s while on the clock – I mean who hasn’t. That is, unless you’re a airplane pilot cautious enough so as to not overshoot your next airport landing for 150 miles, of course. But in my case, I was cautious so as to not make it as obvious as the woman in the picture above. That woman just so happens to be a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) employee at LaGuardia Airport in New York City last week.
Forget about catching terrorists. This airport security agent was too busy catching some Z’s.

The Transportation Security Administration worker was put on desk duty after she was spotted sleeping in plain sight at LaGuardia Airport – the latest black eye for the federal agency.

Brooklyn traveler Bucky Turco said he had just arrived at his departure gate on Sunday when he saw the uniformed worker snoozing in a chair, head resting in her hand.

“I was shocked,” Turco, 35, said, of the 8:15 a.m. encounter. “I’ve never seen a Department of Homeland Security official sleeping inside an airport.”

Turco, 35, snapped a photo of the worker, who woke up about 10 minutes later during an announcement that the Frontier Airlines flight to Denver was boarding, he said.

After rising from her seat, the groggy employee immediately joined her colleagues who were performing secondary security checks at the gate, Turco said.

Turco was flummoxed by what he witnessed.

“In light of their recent follies, it just seemed that a federal agency beleaguered by bad news of late should probably worry about their image a little more,” said Turco, founder and editor-in-chief of the counter-culture magazine Animal.

“To be fair, she could have been on a break. But you don’t go to a precinct and see a police officer sleeping at their desk.”

Turco posted the picture on his Web site. Someone sent a link to TSA officials Tuesday and the worker was immediately interviewed, an agency spokeswoman said.

The guard was put on desk duty pending the outcome of an investigation.

“We recognize that our officers have very demanding jobs that require constant vigilance and hours on their feet,” TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis said.

“But nonetheless, it was completely inappropriate for her to rest in a public area while on her break as opposed to a nearby break room.” (source)
