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.

AZEALIA BANKS remains Raw and Uncut in Playboy Interview
Hands down the interview of the year.
You said black people arenāt supposed to be Christians. What religion do you identify with?
I donāt want to say, but Iāll tell you about one form of the religion. Itās called 21 Divisions. When they brought the slaves over to the Caribbean, they syncretized all their African gods with Catholic saints. So in 21 Divisions there are black gods and goddesses, and my mother practiced that when I was little. Whenever problems happened, we turned to 21 Divisions to fix it. Itās funny, because my friends on the block in Harlem, their mothers would be like, āOh, you fucking with that witchcraft. You working roots.ā You can cleanse people with root work or do bad things to them. But 21 Divisions is celestial.
Is there someone whose career youād like to emulate?

[video] Bryan Singer’s Accuser May Have Opened Hollywood’s Pedophilia Pandora’s Box
So if this sexual abuse and pedophilia is going on in Hollywood, what is going on in the music industry? Promising young teenage boys movie roles in exchange for sex is a sick practice and these executives who participate in this behavior needed to be outed and charged as sexual predators and jailed.
X-Men director Bryan Singer is accused of drugging and anally raping Michael F. Egan III, who was allegedly underage at the time. And now Singer may have company in court.
Egan’s lawyer Jeff Herman, explained that he’s going to sue for three more incidents, saying, “I’m going to file three more lawsuits Monday in Hawaii alleging three other Hollywood insiders were participating in the abuses of Mike Egan.”
Meanwhile, Singer’s lawyer maintains that this case is total bunk, saying: “It is obvious that this case was filed in an attempt to get publicity at the time when Bryan’s new movie is about to open in a few weeks.”

[video] Mizzou Football Star Michael Sam Interview: Says ‘I’m Gay’
Never heard anything about this Michael Sam character.Still am confused as to why he must hoist his homosexuality onto the general public before he has played one down in the NFL.Seems like a private matter that should be kept private, instead of trying to gain acclaim for his choice of men over women. We will see how this effects his career and if this open the floodgates in professional sports and becomes a trend or just a blip on the screen.

N.O.R.E speaks on undercover gay rappers
Source: Transracial
This topic was beaten to death before,with no one been outed so what is the sense now to retread the story? I think gayness in HIP HOP will always be underground thus maintaining its strength in powerful circles.If someone is outed then the big mystery is over thus killing the need for everyone to wonder and speculate. So I disagree with N.O.R.E because I think it would have surfaced by now.

The Gay Mafia is having a field day with Miss California and the case of the mysterious pics that have surfaced of her partially nude. While swearing that she had only one pic of her floating around with her top missing, along comes another one of the gay-bashing beauty queen, much to her dismay. Of course they are using this as ammo to rake her over the coals and strip her of her title. Allegations have also materialized that her father might be playing for the “other side,” according to documents obtained during his divorce with her mom. Ewww, this is getting super ugly. Ā Her and Cassie need to team up with Janet and hold a press conference, boldly reminding America and the rest of the world, that it’s just a breast, and most of us where nursed on this glorified part of the female anatomy, get over it already!Ā
