So DJ Envy wants to get guns off the street but has said nothing about getting guns outta Hip Hop.😐

Yesterday, in one of the sadder non-Peter Rosenberg-related moments in the history of black radio, DJ Envy of Power 105’s the Breakfast Club tried to make a case for stop and frisk—this while more or less unarmed black men are still being shot and killed by the police on the reg.

You can tell these remarks weren’t off the cuff, because Envy, Charlamagne tha God, et al. were citing statistics that they couldn’t have just pulled out of their asses. Like the fact that in the last year of stop and frisk NYPD confiscated 890 illegal guns. Since they’ve gotten rid of stop and frisk, they’ve only found like 200. But as Angela Yee pointed out, it’s not like there’s been a huge increase in shootings.

Yee and Charlamagne took the opposite position, that stop and frisk served no purpose other than to funnel more and more black men into the prison-industrial complex, but it was obvious they were all just reading from a script and that any of them could have argued either side of the issue, as the TIs saw fit.

Speaking of which, whoever came up with this bit may have felt it was best that Envy argue in favor of stop and frisk because he’s a known cornball brother and lightskinted to the point where 5-0 might not bother harassing him, thinking he’s a cracka-ass cracka.

Charlamagne tha God, on the other hand, is still a shade darker than a brown paper bag, thus precluding him from entrance to some HBCUs, despite having undergone skin-bleaching treatments.

We been in the bed with the Saudis forever. Hopefully this will lead to some real information as to who was really behind the attacks on 9/11.

The House and Senate voted to override President Obama’s veto of JASTA, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, which will allow 9/11 victims and families to sue Saudi Arabia for the 2001 terror attacks. Obama criticized the lawmakers, saying the bill’s passage could expose U.S. troops and diplomats to legal retaliation overseas. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reports for TODAY from the White House.

[video] Dr. Umar Johnson: You Can Have an All-Gay School in the U.S., But Not All-Black

Dr. Umar Johnson recently sat down with VladTV and offered up his thoughts on education and the African American community, as well as his plans to open up his own school.

When asked about why he thinks that education isn’t celebrated in hip-hop, Dr. Umar Johnson told DJ Vlad that an emphasis isn’t put on education in the African American communities in general, especially for boys. He added that he started caring about black history after taking a mandatory class in elementary school, and later learning that he was related to Frederick Douglass during his first family reunion.

During the sit-down, Dr. Johnson revealed that he’s planning to name his residential academy after his famous ancestor, Douglass, and Marcus Garvey. While he doesn’t have the exact location acquired yet, Dr. Johnson said that he knows the student body will be 100% compromised of black students. However, he added that he couldn’t advertise the school as being exclusively for black children, although there are schools for LGBT children.

I don’t care how late I was no way in hell is any teacher slapping the sh*t out of me without getting knocked the f*ck out.

A university tutor has reportedly been suspended after he was caught on camera slapping his students for being late.The teacher, identified only as Zheng, dished out physical punishment to a group of first-year students for several minutes, according to reports.Mobile phone footage, believed to have been filmed at the Shandong Rizhao Maritime Academy in China’s Rizhao City, shows Zheng ordering students not to flinch or turn their heads as he slaps them hard across the face. He is also seen to kick one of his students after the boy apparently gave him cheek. The 18-year-old students, who were in their first week of university, are thought to have arrived up to 30 minutes late.The students were also still taking part in their two-week military training course – mandatory for all new students of Chinese universities in which participants are taught the basics of self-defence and wilderness survival.After the video was shared on social media, the university released a statement confirming the students had arrived 30 minutes late, but added that Zheng “had not disciplined them in a patient manner.” The teacher has been removed from his post pending an internal investigation, the university added.It is unclear whether police will become involved in the investigation
