CENSUS APOLOGIZES FOR USE OF WORD NEGRO

Census Apologizes for 'Negro' Line
By Paul Bedard
Posted March 29, 2010
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

So just how should black Americans identify themselves on the new 2010 census? Black? African-American? Maybe Negro?

When it came time to decide, the agency punted in the racial classifications and included all three, stirring some anger in the black community over the dated "Negro" reference.

On Friday's C-SPAN Washington Journal, the issue caught up with Census Bureau Director Robert Groves. He was challenged by a caller, prompting an unusual apology and a prediction that the word will be erased in the next census in 2020.

"I am black. I did not appreciate the black, the African-American, and Negro," said the caller. "It really hurt my feelings ... that, to me, is racist."

Groves was ready with his apology. "First of all, let me apologize to you on behalf of all my colleagues." He then explained. "The intent of every word on the race and ethnicity questions is to be as inclusive as possible so that all of us could see a word here that rings a bell for us … it was not to be offensive, and again, I apologize on that. My speculation is that in 2020 that word will disappear and there are gonna be other words that are gonna change."

JAMIE FOXX GAY?

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM?



AFTER JAMIE FOXX ATTACKED HOWARD STERN HE CAME BACK WITH SOME PRETTY HARD PUNCHES...

Well now Howard is going Hard back. And, Howard Stern seems to suggest that Jamie Foxx is gay. Howard started off his rant by saying:

"I know sh*t about Jamie that maybe won't be so comfortable for him. [I know] a lot of weird sh*t about him"

And while he didn't get specific about what "weird sh*t" he know about Jamie, he gave the following hint:

"I got a shitload of stuff on Jamie that's not a lot of fun. And . . . you know the name Jamie Foxx - it's interesting that he chose the name Jamie. I can go into the whole f*cking deal"

For those of you who don't know Jamie Foxx' Government name is Eric Marlon Bishop, he chose to use the name "Jamie" when he arrived in Hollywood. OK . . . now back to Howard, he wasn't done:

"He wants to get some attention for his show on the channel the FOX HOLE . . .that's an interesting name too . . the hole. I wonder which HOLE they're referring to. How many holes are in Jamie. He's got an as* and he's got a mouth, and I don't know what he does with them."

One of Tiger's mistresses recently aired many of his deep sexual fantasies on her website. Joslyn James released a series of text messages that Woods sent her. Describing some very explicit acts such as golden showers, choking and slapping just to name a few.
Here are a few of the VERY graphic texts:

- OK, I would like to have a threesome with you and another girl you trust.
- I want to treat you rough, throw you around, spank and slap you
- Have you ever had a golden shower done to you? ... just morbid curiosity.
- You are my f**king whore. Hold you down while I choke you.

WOW!!!!!!!!!

For some odd reason, James left out her responses. Either way, Tiger will never be viewed as the innocent suburbanite he once was!

Reagan and Bush billboards



In Minnesota, a billboard has appeared with a picture of president Ronald Reagan and a caption say "Remember REAL hope and change?". While this billboard has a clearly conservative message, the identity of its creator remains a mystery. This comes just a month after a billboard featuring a photo of president George W. Bush was erected in Wyoming with a caption asking driversby "miss me yet?", another anonymous act. This leaves one to wonder how these things can be done in broad daylight. I am a staunch supporter of free speech. What I am not a supporter of is cowardly acts. If you are gonna make such bold statments, why hide? This type of secret rock throwing is quite reminiscent of organizations such as the KKK. Sure the billboards did no real damage but who knows what else these people are doing in the dark and very likely with the blessings of public officials.

YELE AND THE JUMPOFF


Turns out...

[Yele Haiti] paid Zakia Khatou-Chevassus $105,000 as an independent contractor in 2008 for "program development." That amounts to roughly one-third of all the money Yele spent that year on management and general expenses.

According to several sources YELE has been supporting this woman (Wyclef's other woman)...

DIGGY RIPPING UP N COMING RAPPERS APART

Thursday, March 11, 2010



The song "What You Finna Do?," released earlier this month by Fillmore District rapper DaVinci, opens with a vocal sample from the 2001 PBS documentary The Fillmore. It condenses the gentrification process the area underwent from the 1960s into one slogan, lamenting, "Basically, after the urban renewal, it was basically Negro removal." As the gloomy beat kicks in, DaVinci starts to rap, eventually coining his update on the situation: "Down the corner of the street used to be the spot/Till they replaced all the liquor stores with coffee shops." The rest of his debut album, The Day the Turf Stood Still, released in both free download (alternate link - here) and retail versions this week, repeats the motif. It's no surprise, considering the changes he witnessed on his block.

"My grandmother came to San Francisco from Texas in the 1950s," he says. "She bought her home, a three-apartment unit, for $15,000 and paid it off before she passed away in 1996." Around this time, he started to see the reshaping of his 'hood. The usual signifiers of impending gentrification were all in play. Drugs and crime were up. Property values were down. The Fillmore's proximity to downtown made for potentially high rents. Then came the wrecking balls, turning housing projects to rubble and providing a very physical cue for an exodus of black residents. As he recalls, "The newer people offered those who were living there the opportunity to sell their houses, move out, and make a profit. It didn't sound like such a bad idea — by that point, half the neighborhood had already moved." But his family stayed, retaining the title to their home and bolstering their roots in the area.

Today, the 27-year-old DaVinci makes music shot through with local pride. He's been releasing mixtapes since 2002, plus 2007's "street" album, Butter and Gunz, executive-produced by San Quinn. He sees his debut album as a fitting contribution to the Fillmore's rich musical heritage. In the 1960s, jazz greats Count Basie, Etta James, and Duke Ellington used the area's clubs as their musical playground. During the rapper's own coming of age, it saw the formation of a hip-hop scene boosted by its insularity. The sound of the block was king. As DaVinci recalls: "You couldn't tell me anything about who the best rapper in the mainstream was — we'd listen to cats like San Quinn, JT the Bigga Figga, and D-Moe the Youngsta. Together, they were like the Roc-A-Fella [musical empire] of the Fillmore at the time. Looking at them, I saw that hip-hop could come out of Fillmore and be respected."

Being engulfed by this wave of self-sufficient rappers helped shape DaVinci's outlook. San Quinn, who lived two blocks away, could sometimes be found hustling with DaVinci's pops. JT released records on his own Get Low label at 18; his independent moves fostered DaVinci's expectations of the music industry. He's adamant that running after major labels "isn't even in the picture." And, true to his independence, DaVinci's album eschews the gangsta sheen of his elders in favor of relaying street parables over rugged, melancholy beats. It's a blend that suits his breathy timbre well and ensures the album rewards listeners who prefer carefully wrought lyrics over a quick hook.

It isn't a commercial sound, but DaVinci is confident he has wide appeal. Last month, he journeyed to New York City on a mission to boost his profile by meeting with online media outlets. Back home, he's looking at the positive side of the Fillmore's metamorphosis — caffeine-connoisseur neighbors included. "When we'd perform shows, it used to be all family who'd come, but now it's college students," he explains, before joking, "That's good, 'cause you can charge them more!"

Then he adds, "I think the new mix of ethnicities is the best thing that's happened to the Fillmore. Now it's not just a place where only black people know about the music that's coming out of here. That's a good change."

TREY CLEARS UP GAY/BISEXUAL RUMORS




Back in 2007 as Lil Wayne’s tour van left Beacon Theater in New York, it was reported that the van reeked of the smell of weed. Police searched the van and Lil Wayne was found smoking weed with others in the van. During the search artist was found to be in possession of a loaded gun also.

He was charged for both drugs and for the possession of a .40 caliber pistol.
The charges USUALLY mean 3.5 years behind bars. Lil Wayne has pleaded guilty and is sentenced for 1 year term in the jail.

BBC reports:

His lawyer said the rapper expected to be held in protective custody, separated from other prisoners, at New York City's Rikers Island jail complex.

The 27-year-old Grammy-Award winning singer delivered a brief bow as he was led from Manhattan criminal court.
Lil Wayne, who has vowed to keep writing while behind bars, had already said goodbye to his fans during recent concerts and in video messages posted online.

Howard Stern tells his opinion of Gabourey Sidibe



There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. You feel bad because everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” Stern said. “She really should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”

“‘Blind Side 2,’” Stern suggested. “She could be the football player, take out the whole front line.”

“It’s so sad you want to say to her, listen honey, you got a little money in the bank, go get yourself thin. You’re gonna die. And now she’s famous and she’ll never get another acting job”


Sad, but some argue it's absolutely true.
