SMH: Racist HS Students Make Drawing Of Barack Obama, Nooses, And Three “Hooded Stick Figures” Posted: 14 Jun 2012 05:55 AM PDT Students Make Racist Drawing Of Barack Obama In Class Students at a Baltimore County high school drew a racially offensive picture on a classroom board last week and then sent it out on Twitter, prompting the principal to call police and suspend several students. The picture, drawn during class at Eastern Technical High School, shows three nooses hanging from the rafters of a building, according to Baltimore County police spokesman Cathy Batton. Beside the ropes are a burning cross with three stick figures in pointed hats, suggesting the Ku Klux Klan. To the right is a grave marker with the name Barack Obama at the top; under the president’s name are two racial epithets. “We have a group of teenagers who made bad decisions. It was coupled with a lack of supervision by a teacher. We are going to use it as a teaching opportunity next year,” said Eastern Tech Principal Tom Evans. Some African-American parents say their children have told them they have heard racial slurs and jokes told about blacks in the Essex-area school in the past year. Some parents reported the issue to administrators, while others have said their children stayed quiet. The picture was drawn the morning of June 7, the day before school ended. The drawing was made toward the end of the class period when students were coming and going, said Batton, who had reviewed the police report. At the time, the teacher did not notice because she was at her desk talking to several students about their final exam grades. A student told her about the drawing. “When she went to go see, most of the images had been erased,” Batton said. But a student in the class had taken a photo of the drawing before it was erased, and posted the photo on Twitter, where it was seen by other students. Early the next morning, a parent emailed the photo that her child had taken from the social media site to an assistant principal, Batton said. Since then several parents have seen the photo. “It was disgraceful. I am not naive,” said one African-American mother of an Eastern Tech student; she did not want to be identified for fear that her child would face retaliation. “It was shocking to see how raw it was. You didn’t have to decode it. It was blatant … and it made me angry.” While she knows that racism exists, the mother said, she never expected her child to feel the school wasn’t safe or that he had to confront it in such a brutal way. She said her child has heard white students call him and other black students names, as well as tell racial jokes. “I just never realized my kid would face it in this extreme manner,” the mother said. “I looked at [the picture] for an hour in total disbelief.” Evans said he does not believe the incident reflects the culture at his very diverse school, which has a 30 percent minority population of Asians, blacks and Hispanics. Evans said students from many countries and backgrounds attend the school and they all get along. “The culture here is very positive. These kids all get along very well. This issue is the first time in my five years here that there has been any group targeted because of their race. We have no tolerance for this sort of thing,” said Evans. Eastern Tech, a magnet school, is considered one of the best high schools in the region. The school has entrance requirements and is designated as a National Blue Ribbon High School, one of only two in the county. It has a high percentage of graduates who have passed at least one Advanced Placement test before they graduate. Evans said the two students who drew the picture, and another who posted it on social media, have been suspended, but final disciplinary actions have not been determined. Police will not bring charges, Batton said, because the incident is not considered a hate crime. She said the police report was preliminary and therefore she could not release it. Source

Catch Fade: Drizzy And Breezy Get Into Bloody Bottle Throwing Brawl At NYC Nightclub Posted: 14 Jun 2012 05:54 AM PDT RihRih now look what you done started girl… Drake And Meek Mill Engage In Bottle Throwing Nightclub Brawl With Chris Brown Is it Champagne Papi or Drake Lozada. That’s what we’re wondering after learning Chris Brown, Drake and Meek Mill ended up in a bottle throwing melee at WIP nightclub in New York City in the early hours of Thursday morning. According to reports: Meek and Breezy were already at the club when Drake arrived shortly after 3am. At approximately 4am Chris Brown was suddenly rushed out by his entourage and was immediately placed in black jeep fleeing the scene. Not long after, Teyana Taylor, who had been celebrating her signing with Kanye West's G.O.O.D music label at a neighboring club, Greenhouse, was rushed out as well. Almost immediately, following her exit, club-goers flooded the streets in an attempt to escape the bloody brawl. A member of Chris' entourage was covered in blood while a woman who had accompanied Drake was carried away by his security. Also in attendance rappers Fabolous, Maino, Juelz Santana and Trey Songz, were also spotted fleeing the scene following the outbreak. There are conflicting reports over who actually threw the first bottle but it’s been reported that it was a few members of Drake’s camp and Breezy’s full entourage who engaged in the angry bottle hurling brawl. It’s also been speculated that the real beef is between Meek Mill and Fabolous, but that Drizzy and Breezy were caught in the crossfire. Hit the flip for Meek Mill and Breezy’s tweets about the incident (which have since been deleted) along with photos of Breezy’s chin where the bottle caught him.

Rihanna: “I Want My Old Butt Back” Posted: 14 Jun 2012 05:15 AM PDT Rihanna Is Disappointed With Her Body RihRih no likey her cake game… Rihanna is running herself ragged. The unattached, “Where Have You Been” singer, 24, is at work on her seventh CD — and trying to squeeze in some more zzz’s! Recently, she opened up to Us Weekly about her jam-packed calendar — and the effect it’s having on that famous beach bod. Recently, the pop diva made the leap from the recording studio to the big screen with her star turn in Battleship. “I want to do two more [movies] before touring again next year,” Rihanna gushed to Us of her filming experience, even though, “My schedule is crazy!” So crazy, in fact, that the Barbados-born beauty was hospitalized for fatigue following her appearance at the Met Ball last month, where she stunned in a black, reptile-inspired Tom Ford gown. “I got no sleep [beforehand],” Rihanna explained. “It’s harsh on your body!” Her hospitalization — and her shrinking bod — have some fans fretting that she’s dealing with something more serious, though Rihanna assures Us her nonstop schedule is the only thing to blame. “I’m a size 0 — and not happy about it!” she says. “I went way too far. I prefer myself a bit chunkier. I want my old butt back!” Source

Dutton, And More [Video] Posted: 14 Jun 2012 05:10 AM PDT The Obama Effect Movie Trailer This movie doesn’t look like the most highly funded venture, but does spark intrigue with Katt Williams and Charles Dutton: “The Obama Effect” starring Katt Williams, Charles S. Dutton, Meagan Good, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Emilio Rivera, Glynn Turman and Zab Judah.

Live Strong? Feds Charge Lance “Dirty Dopin’ Dog” Armstrong In Drug Conspiracy, Banned From Triathlons Over Steroid Use Posted: 14 Jun 2012 05:00 AM PDT Damn homie! Via TMZ rports: Lance Armstrong has been BANNED from competing in triathlons … effective immediately … over new allegations that he participated in a massive doping conspiracy. According to the Washington Post, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has smacked Armstrong with formal charges … claiming Lance and 5 of his cycling associates conspired to use and distribute illegal substances from 1998 until 2011. The USADA claims Armstrong has been using EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents. The USADA also claims it collected blood samples from Armstrong in 2009 and 2010 that were "fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions." Now, Armstrong is firing back in a new statement … claiming the allegations are “baseless, motivated by spite and advanced through testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity.” Armstrong continues, “I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.” “That USADA ignores this fundamental distinction and charges me instead of the admitted dopers says far more about USADA, its lack of fairness and this vendetta than it does about my guilt or innocence.” Looks like trouble for Lance! Not only can he NOT compete, he risks losing his 7 titles from the Tour de France. Check out Lance’s response to the allegations next…
