Jewish Athletes Making Their Voices Heard Foxborough, Mass.  — Memphis Grizzlies forward Omri Casspi, who was born in Israel, was early in his NBA career when he saw a picture of himself defaced with a swastika. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen grew up with kids who made fun of the size of his nose. New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman has heard anti-Semitic taunts during games, but he had been willing to write them off as opposing fans “just trying to get underneath your skin.” “You’ve been called stuff here and here,” Edelman said. “But nothing to the extent where it’s got me feeling the way a lot of Jews are feeling right now.” In the month since a massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh killed 11 people and injured six others, Jewish athletes said they were shocked by the shooting yet not concerned for their own safety as they travel, train and compete. “There’s crazy people out there, and it is what it is,” Casspi said. “The notion is t...

'Blacks can't walk or work in this neighborhood,' sign warns HOUSTON, Texas -- A controversial sign critical of the Houston Police Department and planted in a public median in the Sawyer Heights area is now in the trash. The sign reads, "New HPD law. Blacks can't walk or work in this neighborhood." The message is in neatly stenciled capital letters and was planted under the First Ward welcome sign in a public median on Taylor near I-10. That is until Gloria Perez saw it on Friday. "I don't want anybody reading that," she told ABC13 Eyewitness News. "I thought it was really racist. No matter who it was towards. Both towards the black community, people of color, and the Houston Police Department. It offends everybody." The mother took a picture, asked for advice on social media and on her way home, jumped out of her car and grabbed it. "I decided to get it off the street. I didn't want any child reading that period, and thin...

T h e P o r t s m o u t h H e r a l d reported that 11th grade students in an American History class wrote the song for an assignment in which they were tasked with creating a song from what they learned about the post-Civil War Reconstruction era. Dover School District Superintendent William Harbron said the students recorded in the video chose the Ku Klux Klan — which first formed in response to the economic and political gains made by former slaves during Reconstruction — for their assignment. “KKK, KKK, let’s kill all the blacks,” the students are heard singing to the tune of the “Jingle Bells” Christmas carol, eliciting laughter from classmates.

BLACK MEN & CHILD SUPPORT https://www.facebook.com/theiconiumfoundation/posts/2482118128471080?__tn__=K-R I'm not the one to talk. I am a deadbeat dad who has not or does not take care of his son. Financially, emotionally or otherwise. For an admission like that, when there is no excuse. However, Even for something as irresponsible and negligent as this, there is always a reason. Let me explain. My sons mother was eighteen when she got pregnant. I was nineteen. We all can take it from there. So lets fast forward. My son is born. And by this time, his mom and i had a on then off again relationship tumultuously volatile relationship (to say the least). We had no business what so ever being around each other. Let alone be involved in a relationship with one another. I was a jerk. Blame it on my age. But I am a believer in personal responsibility once you reach a certain age. I was of that age. Me. I was promiscuous, brash, and unapologetic (still) about all of it. ...

Blackfishing Blackfishing Commonly perpetrated by females of European descent (white) which involves artificial tanning (spray tanning and tanning booths) and using makeup to manipulate facial features in order to appear to have some type of Black African ancestry. The general point of blackfishing is for a female of European descent to appear of African, Arab, or Hispanic ancestry.
