While Baltimore Burns, The Self-Righteous Pass Judgment

The fair-minded among society can agree that Blacks and other minorities are very passive, taking all kinds of abuse and methods of injustice from the system. From paying higher mortgages to being denied one altogether, minorities have to endure the absolute worst of living conditions, and they simply clamp their teeth and get through it--never reacting to the blatant class bias. Nevertheless, while Baltimore burns, those of that community say the self-righteous sit in the safety of their dwelling places and pass judgment.

It is argued that despite their passivity, when blacks do react to an act of human cruelty that crosses the line (such as police murder), they are characterized as "thugs" and "criminals". Some government officials denounce this characterization, claiming that it summons response from the global community, accusing the United States of allowing methods of brutality against its citizens as a means of control, living this hypocrisy while preaching human rights to the world at large.

Blue-Bell Recall: Do We Really Know What We're Eating?

Blue Bell, the 108-year-old ice-cream giant, recalled all of its products this week after their famous chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream tested positive for listeriosis. So the question is, do we really know what we're eating?

Just a month ago, Blue Bell made its first (ever) recall when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention linked ice cream contaminated with listeriosis to three deaths at a Kansas hospital. Not long after that, five others in Kansas and Texas were sickened with the disease.

Listeriosis is a serious infection contracted by eating foods contaminated with Listeria Monocytogenes. Surprisingly, the disease primarily affects newborns, pregnant women, older adults, and adults with weakened immune systems. Persons in fairly good health are also affected. You might say everyone is at risk.

Justin Whittington was arrested and charged for punching his toddler son, knocking him to the floor.

Recent video captured by a store surveillance camera prompts renewed conversation around child abuse. 23-year-old Justin Whittington was arrested and charged with child endangerment after surveillance footage captures him abusing a toddler inside the Vest Market.

Take a look at the 10 photos; then leave your comment on whether you think they are related of if it's just a coincidence.

Who's to say this Russian revolutionist isn't part of Jimmy Fallon's family tree? You have to admit; they look an awful lot alike.

Police Officer Charged With Murder

The victim, Walter Scott, turns to run away from the officer, after being threatened, according to the witness who captured the video footage. The source claims the police officer did not know he was being recorded or watched; "he thought he was out there alone with the man he shot in the back."

Mo'Nique and "Empire" Rumor

Those who saw Lee Daniel's "Precious" know that Mo'Nique played the hell out of her role as a screwed up, abusive single mother in the film. If there were any doubts about her acting ability, they were all resolved with her performance in "Precious".

Lee Daniels: The Brains Behind "EMPIRE"

Where does a television series like "Empire" come from? Who envisions and creates characters, writes the script? Is there one writer, two...or more?

These are questions the viewer probably raises after watching an episode of "Empire", the blockbuster made-for-television first-run series that debuted on FOX this year, in 2015.

Conspiricy Theory Claims Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina are 'Sacrifices'

This post is about our "fallen songbird", Whitney Houston--and her daughter, Bobbi Kristina. Sadly, we all know that medically, Krissy is already dead; it's just that machines are pumping oxygen in and out of her lungs, causing her chest to rise and fall, giving the illusion that she's alive. For the moment, this probably helps the family to accept and deal with the inevitable. 


Of course, there's nothing anybody can do about it if Whitney and Bobbi were allegedly "sacrificed". But...Sacrificed to "whom", by "whom",  and for "what"? Why do both incidents involve drowning in a bathtub?
