Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

  @djoxworldwide2 RALEIGH (WTVD) -- A #Raleigh​ woman's terrifying encounter of coming face to face with two men who broke in to her home is now prompting a bigger conversation about what happened to Shanay Porter and how police treated the men they found inside her apartment. "When I put my key in the door, it was open," Porter said describing the moment Tuesday morning when she arrived home at her Brier Creek apartment. She said walked into a nightmare. Two men she did not know were lounging in her living room, eating her food, and wearing her ex-boyfriend's clothes. She says one of them even took a shower. A neighbor's doorbell cam showed two strange men, the night before, twisting door knobs in the breezeway. Porter says her door was locked. But, somehow they broke in. "I just looked at him and said, 'who are you?' And he started coming toward me and I hurried up and closed the door," Porter said. "I didn't know what to think or

  @pushing_black • Although it is the definitive version now, the NFL was hesitant about Whitney Houston’s rendition and pushed for her to do a more basic version of the song. Thankfully, Houston’s producer, Ricky Minor, stuck to his guns and his vision, and their version went forward. This CBS segment does a great job providing the backstory to this iconic moment. (And we can’t wait to see Jazmine Sullivan’s rendition this year!) • @untilweeven I'm African american but i cant be totally loyal to America. You know.

  white.crime.matters Country music star Morgan Wallen was "indefinitely" suspended from Big Loud Records on Wednesday after video surfaced showing him shouting a racial slur. Several radio stations had already pulled the Nashville singers' tunes earlier that morning. "In the wake of recent events, Big Loud Records has made the decision to suspend Morgan Wallen's recording contract indefinitely," the label wrote in a statement posted on Twitter. "Republic Records fully supports Big Loud's Decision and agrees such behavior will not be tolerated." Since the video surfaced, music platforms have begun dropping Wallen's music left and right. Cumulus Media, one of the biggest radio chains for country music across the nation, told its radio affiliates to remove his music from Wednesday's programming. Variety also sent a memo out telling its employees to remove Wallen's music "from our playlists without exception," TMZ reported

  balleralert Georgia Police Chief Resigns, Officer Terminated After Bodycam Video Shows Them Using Racial Slurs Blogged by @ErinBoogie A #Georgia police chief resigned after a video of a racist conversation between him and one of his officers surfaced earlier this week. During the shocking discussion, they both casually drop the n-word and say that slavery met black people’s needs. The officer speaking with the chief was terminated. According to TMZ, Hamilton Police Chief Gene Allmond and Officer #JohnBrooks were unaware that Brook’s body camera recorded their interaction. The conversation occurred last year before a June Black Lives Matter protest. The patrolman talked about who he’d rather have sex with, between Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms or voting rights activist Stacey Abrams and discussed slavery. “For the most part, it seemed to me like they furnished them a house to live in. They furnished them clothes to put on their back,” Chief Allmond said in the video. “They
