As Travis Scott Keeps Getting Hit Over Super Bowl Performance, Kylie Jenner Uses Cute Baby Stormi Milestone Video To Calm Things Down In an attempt to change the conversation over Travis Scott’s Super Bowl halftime show scandal, Kylie Jenner has decided to share a cute video of Stormi Webster taking her first steps. In the brief clip, Stormi, who will be one in early February, can be seen holding Kylie’s hand as she takes her first steps. The video surfaced just days after Nick Cannon slammed Travis’ decision to perform at the Super Bowl. Travis lied and claimed he spoke to activist Colin Kaepernick before accepting the gig. Nick said: “The people you choose to interact with. The people you choose to procreate with… That decision wasn’t for the culture.” Mariah Carey’s ex-husband added: “I call it cultural equity. We not mad at Big Boi…he’s for the people. But someone like Travis Scott, he gotta walk more gingerly. It’s more about truly having the integrity to who you ar

The Disturbing, Surprisingly Complex Relationship Between White Identity Politics and Racism In her new book, “ White Identity Politics ,” the Duke political scientist Ashley Jardina examines the increasing relevance of white identity in America. Drawing on data from American National Election Studies surveys and her own research, Jardina finds that about thirty to forty per cent of white Americans say that white identity is important to them, and she adds an interesting twist—that this group only partly overlaps with the group of white Americans who hold racist views. According to Jardina’s analysis, about thirty-eight per cent of white people who highly value their white identity are at or below the mean level of racial resentment, while forty-four per cent of white people who say their racial identity is less important are at or above that level. “For those invested in racial equality, this outcome should be of little comfort,” Jardina writes, of white Americans asserting their

Holocaust Memorial Day: Trump says ‘denial or indifference diminishes all men and women everywhere’ US president describes brutality of Holocaust as ‘crime against God’ Donald Trump has paid tribute to people who “have devoted their lives to the preservation and security of the Jewish people” in a statement marking Holocaust Memorial Day . The US president said to remember those who were murdered and survived the Holocaust was to strive to prevent such suffering from happening again, adding: “We remain committed to the post-Holocaust imperative, ‘Never Again’.” His statement said: “We hold in our hearts the memory of every man, woman, and child who was abused, tortured, or murdered during the Holocaust.  “To remember these men and women – those who perished and those who survived – is to strive to prevent such suffering from happening again. Any denial or indifference to the horror of this chapter in the history of humankind diminishes all men and women everywh

Steve King still doesn’t think of himself as racist Over the last few weeks, Iowa Rep. Steve King has defended white supremacy, been reprimanded by his own party leaders, and been stripped of his committee positions in Congress, yet in his mind, he has done nothing wrong — except agree to an interview with T h e N e w Y o r k T i m e s . While opening his first town hall since his r a c i s t r e m a r k s were published in print — when he told the T i m e s ’ Trip Gabriel, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” — King said Saturday that his main regret was sitting down for the phone interview when he was only “half-ready.” “It is stunning and astonishing to me that four words in a N e w Y o r k T i m e s quote can outweigh 20-some years of public service,” he said to a crowd of roughly 70 people who attended the event in Primghar, Iowa. He remains adamant: “I am not a racist.” ”I’ve made more than

Freshman State Rep. Anne Stava-Murray, a Naperville Democrat, is standing by her comments about "white supremacist policies" in her hometown, saying she's unfazed by criticism and encouraged her words are starting conversations about historical and ongoing racism in the region. The 81st District representative, who also has launched a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat held by Dick Durbin, says what she sees in Naperville -- and the Chicago area as a whole -- is "white supremacy in an unclad kind of way, without its hood on." #whiteculture

Entertainers to Address Social Injustice Issues at Super Bowl, But Passionately Disagree on How Some entertainers believe social injustice needs to be addressed during the Super Bowl and are ensuring the topic that ignited a political firestorm, engulfing the NFL, will be in the spotlight.

Jermaine Dupri said he was called a “sellout” for hosting a Super Bowl-related event during a meeting with people who had lost family members as result police brutality.
